Reports Anti-Polio Vaccine Effective Scientific Report Termed Encouraging KANSAS CITY. Mo. (INS) — The United States public health service today reported just one shot of the Salk anti polio vaccine is proving from s(j to 90 per cent effective in preventing paralytic POliOy The official scientific report, described as ‘‘preliminary but encouraging," was based on latest figures from 11 states and New York city. They participated in the 1955 inoculation program using the vaccine developed by Dr. Jonas E. Salk of Pittsburgh and In a "surveillance" begun after the mass shots were halted. Degree of effectiveness ranged from 50 per cent for Georgia to 89 per cent for Oregon, and Illinois, and 90 per cent for Minnesota according to the officials. Dr. Alexander Langmuir, chief of the communicable disease center, public healthy service, Atlanta, made the report at the annual American public health association meeting in Kansas City. He told newsmen variations in defining exactly what paralytic polio is accounted for the wide percentage range in effectiveness. "In New York state and California, for example, where screening was most careful, the Salk vaccine results were better — the California figures showed three times as many paralytic polio cases

among unvaccinated children as compared to the vaccinated group. In New York, there were four times as many cases among the unvaccinated as compared to the vaccinated.*' Dr. Langmuir compared the 1955 results obtained withjust one shot with the 1954 figures and said: “The one shot seems to be Just as effective as the series of three given in the 1954 field trials. This means the vaccine works, that it is unquestionably effective." Dr. Langmuir stressed the report was a “surveillance rather than a controlled study” since there were variations in reporting methods and “crude” population estimates. “Tentative results, subject to modification and revision, reveal that the attack rates for paralytic polio are from two to more than five times greater in unvaccinated than In vaccinated children.” “Less marked but favorable differences are reported in the nonparalytic cases.” Urges Americans To Talk With Students 40,000 Foreigners Students In America INDIANAPOLIS (INS)—A liberal education In foreign affairs is wasted every day by Americans who fail to invite the-40,000 foreign students Into their homes. Dr. John Nason, president of the foreign policy association, suggested that during a daylong world affairs forum in the Indiana world war memorial. Nason further stated some unexpected flareup such as the current Middle East Crisis, could plunge the world into a disastrous thermonuclear war that, would wipe out society. C. Harsch, of the Christian Science Monitor, said if nothing plunges us into war the United States can expect the cold war to continue for 250 to 300 years. Monday night, Walter S. Robertson, assistant secretary of state for far eastern affairs, predicted it may be generations before the United States can achieve the kind of peace it seeks in Asia. Former assistant secretary of defense H. Struve Hensel termed tbe “limited success of our foreign policy pure good luck” and said the public does not understand the challenge of Communism. Nason said one of the best ways to know and understand other people is to talk to them. He said the United States has 40,000 foreign students, more than any toher nation, in its schools each year and yet very few* Americans invite them in to discuss the problems and customs of their homelands.

In his conference with Dulles, the President wil Iseek means of trying to salvage the “spirit of Geneva”, which his own meeting with Russia’s leaders last summer created.
