Research on Polio By HERMAN N. BUNDEHN, MX

THE medical world has known I about polio ever since 1789, when a British physician, Michael Underwood, first told other doctors: 'Taj attention to it.” Well, we have been paying attention to it, but we still have no cure or vaccine to Insure permanent immunity. Great strides, however, are being made. To understand the problem you should know a little of what we are up against. Powerful Microscope As I have already told you, the polio viruses — there are three known types — are among the smallest known. It’s been only recently that scientists have been able to see these viruses through the powerful electron microscope. It has been especially difficult to Isolate the polio virus because It will grow in very few kinds of animals besides human beings. The virus, which enters your body through your nose or mouth, likes to settle in the nerve cells which control muscle action. In spinal polio, the nerve cells in your spinal cord that control movements of your body below the neck are damaged. Bulbar Polio In bulbar polio, the cranial nerves and otfier nerve centers In the base of the brain may be attacked. These , nerve? control your breathing, circulation and swallowing. Spino-bulbar, the third type of polio, is a combination of both of the others. About 18 per cent of the cases are bulbar or spino-bulbar types. Paralysis occurs only when large numbers of those cells are destroyed or seriously damaged. Many paralyzed persons recover completely. Special Breathing Equipment . Science, as you well know, has

their inter-party bickering, the present session of the legislature will result in a lot of good for all the people. _—o 0— — Quite frequently the Daily Democrat gets letters for the Peoples Voice column. We are glad to publish these letters, even if they are contrary to our own opinions. One thing we insist on is that the letters be signed. We will publish only let- — ters which have a bonafide and verified signature. The name of the writer is omitted on request some times, but it is necessary that we have the signature on the original letter for our own protection. o 0 Richard Neuberger, recently elected U. S. Senator from the state of Oregon wants to know just what President Eisenhower means when he refers to the government partnership ideas so frequently. Neuberger who happens to be the first Democrat elected to the senate from his state in 40 years, won it by announcing he would fight such a partnership. He believes the people of Oregon want to be the bosses and he is going to put up the stiffest fight he knows how when the time comes. 0 0 Big corporations throughout the nation are becoming principal - financial contributors to small colleges, many of which have had a hard time weathering the last few years ,in competition with state supported universities and colleges. The smaller schools of the nation, are termed the backbone of the educational system and enrollment has increased so rapidly that it has been a Herculean task to provide accommodaonly one of the problems of the small schools, which depend on alumni endowments and other contributions. Another serious : problem is that many instructors and professors are leaving the smaller colleges because th® large state supported universities offer much more money. Manufacturers are realizing that many of their key men are from the smaller schools and they are answering the call for contributions in a magnificent fashion.

come to the aid of polio victims through the development oT respirators and other special breathing apparatus, and through modern physical therapy. Even though a badly paralyzed person mlghu not be cured, he can nearly always be helped by careful muscle re-education, the use of braces or surgery. But even more important than the treatment of the disease is its prevention. In 1951 and 1952, tests determined that infections of gamma globulin would provide Immunity for about five weeks. Gamma globulin is the part of the human blood which contains all of the _ disease-fighting antibodies. Cheaper Vaccine Needed However, gamma globulin is expensive and its supply is limited. We need a vaccine which can be produced cheaply, and can provide permanent immunity. Dr. Jonas E. Salk of the University of Pittsburgh has developed a vaccine with a “killed virus.” The vaccine was given an extensive test last year with more than 1,830,000 children taking part. The National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis, with which I served several years as chairman of the Committee bn Epidemics, contributed $7,500,000 to the proj - ect. Results of the test will be announced in a few months. Whether the Salk vaccine Is the answer or not, the March of Dimes foundation still needs your, help. Better send In yous donation before the campaign ends next Monday. QUESTION AND ANSWER I ’ P. H.: Do fibroid tumors turn into cancer? Answer: As a general rule, fibroid tumors do not become cancerous. Os course a fibroid should be treated. Sometimes, surgery may be reaulred.

Biisorsis Dr. Fred Beier had come from St. louis to the rural community of Jennings. Missouri, where he hoped to find peace in the quiet countryside. And he had found it and contentment, too, serving as the little town's only physician. He was happy in an old-fashioned house with Katie, his wife, an unpretentious young matron, who knew very well that many a woman cast a covetous eye upon her Fred. Women, for instance. like wealthy, glamorous Mrs. Linda Kyle, who had interested the doctor in her varied charity causes. CHAPTER THREE LINDA saw Fred’s glance. “I know I’m delaying you . . .” she said in swift apology. "It is a pleasure.” Pink rose in his cheeks. ‘Tell me about the Nienabers,” he said earnestly. "Well, one could claim that it is none of my business,” she pointed out “But you know Clarence Godfrey—heart as big as a barn, but his performance — well — “ She laughed ruefully. “The Nienabers are Germans, I think. They talk German. And they were brought here under the Displaced Persons Act as farm labor. Do you know how that works?” “Roughly. Clarence made his application to the county committee, proved he had housing for the family and would pay them the prevailing wage. He must have met their boat, too.” "I think he did. He was all steamed up, made a special trip east, interviewed this man and his wife then brought them back and set them down on his farm. Then he took off for California. He sends them money regularly, Fred, but—” “I know. They need more than money and a roof over their heads.” “Dear, yes!” “How long have they been at Godfrey’s?” “A year. They take excellent care of the place. His fruit trees, the ground—his cows and chickens look like toys in a store. You know ? One of those pjodcl farms ? But—well—they seem to talk no English ..." — “In a year they should have learned some.” „ “How ? No, one goes there, except a few to buy fruit. The man comes into town for supplies. He points to what he wants, and has to trust the .storekeepers to be honest with him.” “Aren’t they?” “1 caught a boy—a clerk—being—not’honest At Perkins.” Fred made a clicking sound with his tongue. “Godfrey should have stayed around. Or, at least, spoken to some of us.” “Yes, of course he should. I’ve been goihg out there—their fruit . is marvelous. The woman sells I canned things, too. But, well, 1 they’re like Fred. They j peer al you—and stand off, wanly.

To Probe Officer's Conduct In Germany Colonel Mixed Up With German Spy WASHINGTON (INS) The air force has o.rtjered a board of inquiry to investigate an intelligence colonel who was allegedly mixed up with a beautiful German girl now in prison for passing secrets to the Russians The air force saiu tne probe of the conduct of Col. Patrick W. Hayes. 47 formerly of Scranton. Pa., might lead to "discharge from the service under other than-hon-orable conditions.” 1 Hayes apparently was the officer who allegedly had Irmgard Margarethe Schmidt, 24, as his mistress while stationed in Berlin j with the air forc-e special investii gation branch. “ The girl pleaded guilty on Dec. 21 to transmitting U. S. military , secrets to the Soviet- Union' and was sentenced to five years iin- ■ prisonment. ■: The air force emphasized that '

The cmldren of the nearcy rancners make fun of them. They dress and talk just as they did in the old country, and the ranch people are suspicious of things so different” — “So, naturally, the different folk are suspicious of the ranch people!” “Yes. But—here’s where you come in,.Fred. Now the woman is pregnant.” “Oh, ho!" She smiled at him. “She’s not well, Fred. She looks—terrible. She coughs—and her face is gray. I wrote to Clarence.” “And . . .?” “He thanked me for my interest, and said he was starting for Italy with a picture company,” Fred shrugged. "Which is very nice for Clarence." "Yes, isnkttfßut, “Fred—” His eyebrows went up; wrinkles webbed the corners of his eyes. "Yes!" she agreed. "I want you to go out and see those poor people. Don’t say you can’t go unless called. I’m ‘calling’ you. Once you see them, you’ll know that they need you.” Again Fred looked at his watch. “When . . .?” “I’ll take you out, but will you go soon, Fred? I’d like to go with you- £v# come to know them, pretty well, I buy so nnteh fruit.” Fred touched her elbow. “Get in,” he said. “We may as well go at once. You’ll nag me—l'll get no peace.” Godfrey's ranch lay close against the first hills, - its fences neat, its buildings tight. TheTruit trees stood in prim rows, the ground about them raked clean. “You sec what I mean?” Linda asked Fred. "I do indeed.’ The gate having been opened and Closed by Fred, with Linda at the wheel, Fred now drove on to the rambling? low house of split logs. - "Drive around," said Linda. ‘They live in the back.” “In the house itself?” “Well—l think Clarence planned to build them a cottage, but for now they are living in the studio and the furnace room.” Fred’s eyebrows drew together above his noae—Claxence Godfrey's studio was also’sometimes called the ski room. ’lt was, really, a basement built into the downside of the hill. Nienaber came through the door. Linda Kyle got out on her side of the. car, Fred on his. "Mr. Nienaber,” §aid Linda in the slow, loud way one uses when trying to make a foreigner Understand, "this is Dr. Beier.” Then man’s pale eyes touched Fred’s face. Fred turned to the fanner and i began to speak in fluent German. ! ' 1 am the doctor belonging to the!

there was no indication that Hayes passed any information to the fraulein. Air force secretary Harold i:. Talbott, summed up the reason for the investigation with this statement: "It has been determined that she had previously been acquainted with the t-olonel . . . although there were no indications, either from her statement or the exhaustive investigation which was conducted, that the officer in question at any time provided her with classified information, the investigation did raise questions concerning the officer’s judgment and conduct." 14-Year-Old Girl Third Wreck Victim CROWN POINT, l»d. fINSy — Eourteen-year-old Edythe Greisse, of Crown Point, died late Friday of injuries suffered in an accident that claimed two lives outright. Killed in the Thursday nighttwo'car collision cn Ind. 8 one mile west of Crpwn Point were the Rev. George Greisae. 68, the young girl’s grandfather^-and Mrs., Wilhelmina Schaedler, 53. 'of Crown Point, wife of the driver of the other car.

: town, i understand your wife ts ill; it is my duty to inspect all sick people.” Nienaber was pleased to hear the German, dnd resigned to the words of He nodded, and at once moved toward the door of the house. Linda ordered Fannie back into the car, and than she followed, the two men. It was her first sight of the rooms in which the Nienabers were living, and she gasped a little. Everything was spotlessly clean. The door to the stairway was closed. One knew that the upper rooms, the main part of the house, went unused. The wife, Clara, a small woman, her skirt hem uneven because of the child she carried, had risen from the couch bed and stood watching the strangers with a look of resigned apprehension. Fred stood for a minute, shaking his head, then he went over to Uie woman and put his hand upon her shoulder. She drooped beneath his touch, submissiveness and fear like a cloud upon her. But she began to cough, 'no, spasmodically, and Fred held his handkerchief toward her. She looked at it, but instead held the corner of her shawl against her lips. He spoke to her in German, and Linda again saw that look of gratefulness for a familiar tongue. Obediently the woman sat on the edge of the bed, still coughing. Fred looked around him. . — “Did Mr. Godfrey say yop could use only this basement "Herr Godfrey said we should live ih his house. Naturally, we use only such things as we need, Herr Doktor.” “But there used to be chairs and a rug down here—” "We have chairs.” He pointed to the kitchen. “Herr Godfrey’s fine things we have put upstairs. We keep them clean and in order. Hathrally we do not use them.” “You don’t answer me! Did Mr. Godfrey specify that you live in this fashion?” “Here we have enough, Herr Doktor. 1 would not risk the good Herr s displeasure. Better we use less than he meant us to use than more. If he should become displeased with us, and send us from here, we have nowhere to go. The world ends here.” “Nu, geh!”. said Fred angrily, and he strode to the kitchen, looked about at the meager array of china, the two cooking.'vessels, the handful of table silver. The top of the stove glistened; the whole place was spotless. Tile yard and drive had been recently raked—but house and ranch smelled ot bareness; the air was empty of warmth; the whole place was rotten with fear! It lay on one’s skin like old sweat.

Linda's immediate concern is the Nienaber family, kindly German refugees who seemed lost and frightened in their new found land.

CHAPTER FOUR FRED sighed at the conditions he saw and came back to the woman who still coughed into the corner of her shawl; he squatted on his heels and talked to her earnestly. Finally she lifted her eyes and spoke breathlessly. Blood flecked her lower lip. She had, she told him, coughed for a long time. First, in the camp near Munich; it had been better for a while since coming to America—but in the winter—and now— She gestured in despair at her swollen body. The good Herr Godfrey, she said fearfully, had not bargained for them to have children! He did not expect that! “Why,” Fred asked the husband, “did you not come for me? You knew there was a doctor, and that your wife was ill?” The man and his wife exchanged glances, but did not answer. Fred muttered below his breath. “Don’t blhme Godfrey too much, Fred,” Linda urged. "He means well; he just doesn’t think. He probably expected these people—probably he thinks now—that they are living soft here in his house. A lot of this is their fault, Fred, not his. He shouldn’t have gone away without establishing them, but beyond that . . Fred smiled ftt her. “You go wait in the car, dear,” he said gently. "I’m going to examine this woman, and I don’t want you to see or hear me ordering these folks about.” He accompanied her to get his bag, then went back in the house and closed the door behind him. Linda sat rubbing Fannie’s soft, pointed ear. “Now!” said the doctor when he had finished the examination, "I want to say things to you both. I want you to listen, and to believe me. Believe in me. I am here to

help you, much In the same fashion as Mr. Godfrey wished to help you. But with me, as with him, there is a limit to what we can do. Beyond that limit, you must help yourselves.” The two refugees looked up at him with patient eyes, blank faces. They were listening, but it was impossible to tell if his message reached them. “Mr. Godfrey,” said Dr. Beier, talking clearly, slowly, as one would talk to children rather than to grown people. "Mr. Godfrey is a good man. He is busy, but he is good. His goodness reached out to that camp—near Munich, did you say?—and it brought you across the ocean, across this great country, here to this ranch. He established you in this place with food and money and warmth and shelter. That he did for you, and it was a great deal.” “SolV Fred was saying. “Now, it is your turn. Now it is you who owe something, same effort, to your benefactor, and to the land

which has made a place for you.” He was rewarded by a faint show of bewilderment in Richard Nienaber’s eye?. «<y es t>» said Fred. “It was enough for Mr. Godfrey to bring you here to this place. It is not enough for you just to come! Above all else, it is very wrong for you to be afraid. Fear is always a terrible thing. It stifles one. A young plant put into a dark cellar will not grow. If you live always in the shadow of fear, you cannot grow strong, or happy—you cannot do the things Mr. Godfrey expected of you when he brought you here. He did not bring you here only to work for him. He brought you ip the hope that you would be happy, and that yp W would.begm. a pew life for yourselves in this place. But, because of fear, you are not doing that, and it is wrong.’’ “Herr Doktor,” Nienaber broke in, ht tone resigned, "you do not know of what you speak. One—” “Oh, yes, I do know!” said Fred crisply. “Why not? My father and mother and I—we, too, were once displaced persons. We too came as refugees to a strange land. That was, of course, after another war, and perhaps not so terrible a war —but for us it was quite bad enough. We came, as you have

come, with nothing in our pockets, nothing but our lives, our bodies and our strangeness. We came because kind people gave us a chance to come, a means by which we could five in a free land!” Richard Nienaber and his wife looked at each other, unbelieving. “Can tins be true?” they asked. "The Doktor was once a refugee!” Fred laughed. ”lnot only was one, 1 still am one. A refugee from many things. But I have learned one truth; that the only times I have known real trouble, trouble from which 1 couktipot save myself, was when I pretended to be what I was not, or when I pretended that things were not as they were. Then I was wrong. Always. “I have learned that one must face the truth, and live with it. So it is with Clara s health, ft was wrong of you to live for a year in thjg place, knowing that she was sick, knowing that a doctor was at hand, and not do anything about it" — — J-

He shook his Anger into theirfaces; ne talked sternly to them. They were to do differently! They were not to be afraid! Clara was to be made comfortable. They were to use the telephone up. in the house, and bring down a rug and some comfortable chairs — and above all. they wcrc to do what the doctor said— Back on the road in the car with Linda beside him, she said, "I’m glad I brought you." "Yes! 1 He slowed for the narrow, higlvwater bridge at Mirandy’s gates. • "I wonder if those people Know what these arroyos can do in the spring rains," murmured Linda. “Those people, my dear Linda,” -Fred instructed' her, "RhOW all"about things which mean trouble arid disaster. It is good luck which can take them by surprise.” • Linda turned in the scat to look at Fred. “1 thought 1 knew you pretty well,” she confessed, “but I had never suspected you ot cynicism. Biit then," she laughed, "I never guessed, either, that you were a bossy man.” He chuckled. “You have known me in my less professional capacity, dear Linda. I am bossy. A doctor has to be. Or should be. At least, as T viWv my profession.” (To Be
