Dr. Salk Devoted To Fight Against Polio

ANN ARBQR, Mich. (INS) — “How many hours a week go you work?” Dr. Jonas E. Salk was asked. “As many hours as necessary." came the quiet reply as a characteristic shy, quick smile lighted his normally serious face for a moment. The remark illustrates the singlemindedness and absolute devotion of this 40-year-old man who today may very well be the most important man in the world on the basis of the Ann Arbor announcement of the effectiveness of his polio vaccine.' “As many hours as necessary" asually turns out to be, for this slight, dark-haired man from the sidewalks of New York, from before dawn until after nightfall. While hard work is th.e Salk “system." it is grounded on a firm faith that he has chosen the right methods to reach his objective - the conquest of polio. The faith was underlined when he gave shots of his “killed” virus vaccine to his wife, Donna, and their three small boys. Peter, 11, Darrell. 8. and Jonathan. 5, long before the vaccine was used in the mass test last summer. The quiet, intense scientist started out to be a lawyer, considered a cereer in dentistry and then went to medical school. There, in the isolated, glamorless drudgery of the laboratory he found his life’s interest —research. And in 1953. after two brilliant years of work beginning where others had left off, the payoff came —he announced he had developed a safe “killed virus" -which he believed could prevent all three types of paralytic polio. While Dr. Salk himself makes it plain that his vaccine research was built on foundations laid by many other scientists, he was the first to achieve a serum judged good enough to be used in medical history's greatest mass "field trial.” Why was he the first? How did he succeed where others — with more experience and many more years of effort — fell short? His family, friends and associates make three illuminating points about Dr. Salk and his success: the right time, the right job and the right man. Scientists emphasize that no “discovery" is an isolated piece of detective work. Rather, in science everything that happens depends upon what went before. This is particularly true’Of Dr. Salk’s vaccine development. Three groups of scientists in three different places during the years 1948 to 1952 set the stage for an effective and safe vaccine. In 1949, Dr. John F. 'Enders and two associates at Harvard found a method of growing. polio virus which opened the way to producing suitable vaccine in test tubes. For this work. Dr. Enders and his Dr. Thomas H. Weller and Frederick C. Robbins, won the Nobel prize in medicine and phxgjglogy last year. In 1952/Drs. Dorethy Horstmann

of Yale University and David Bodian of Johns Hopkins University found polio virus traveled in the blood-streams of monkeys. This suggested that one way to prevent polio might he to build up the antibodies in the blood —the body’s natural virus fighting defense—to attack the Invading vims. Between 1948 and 1952 Drs. Howard A. Howe and Isabel Morgan of Johns Hopkins, demonstrated that polio virus “killed" or “inactivated" with the chemical formalin could stimulate antibodies production without provoking the disease. At this point Dr. Salk stepped in. blended all three developments with his own knowledge and experiments to produce the Salk vaccine. Dr. Salk commented when asked how he felt about last summer's mass field trials of his vaccine: “The worrying is done ahead of time while calculating all the possible risks. Then the die tr, cast aftd there is nothing to do but wait." Dr. Salk’s associates always stress three characteristics about him — his scientific knowledge and research skill; his determination and his driver - On the basis of his understanding of virus diseases, he was able to organize the necessary polio experiments. His careful calculations assured success. About his ceaseless work, a colleague recently said: “It is inspiring to wx>rk with him. He drives himself, not us. He works sometimes 18 to 20 hours a day but does not ask that we do likewise. “When he dodges visitors, it is not stand-offishness but his conviction that every minute must be channeled into the fight against polio." But Dr. Salk's friends insist that a picture of a “machine-like man” is not a fair one. They explain: “He has a lovely wife and three fine young boys and he likes to spend every minute he can with them. He likes boating and swimming at the family summer cottage on Erie. He likes, in short, what all of us like — our family, sports, music (serious) and friends. ... “But he always has felt there is so much to do and so little time to do it in.” — Junior Town Meeting Wednesday Morning Junior town meeting will originate before the student body ot the Decatur high school Wednesday morning at 19:15 o’clock.
