The Washington Merry-Go-Round
.................ly DREW PEARSON « - ■■■■■ —
Washington.—A lot of people have been
writing me suggesting a reward to Dr. Jonas ?
Salk—a big ca.4h gift to the man who found
the -way to stop that dread baby-killer, polio. '
Some readers even sent checks for me to
forward to Dr. Salk. /
I
So the other day I called him up. I had
never met Dr. Salk, though I knew his back- '
.ground. He’s a man who might not have been $
able to discover the vaccine for polio had the
McCarran-Walter immigration act then been
on the books. His folks were Jewish immi-
grants, his father a garment worker living
in New York’s teeming mid-Manhattan. He
graduated from the City College of New
York which Joe McCarthy branded a breeder
of Communism. J
I found Dr. Salk, as I suspected, a hum-
ble man. He was not interested in money for
himself, nor publicity. Like another great
discoverer of his faith who died the other
day, Albert Einstein, he shunted interviews?.
But he was interested and ooncerhed
that the children who now have a cfiance:tb
get ^he protection of his vaccine should all
definitely get it. And the tragedy is that
under present circumstances, all .Qi til©1?!
oi ft.
won
This is partly because there is not yet
full vaccine production—though there will be
soon. It’s also because the March of Dimes—
the National Foundation of Jnfantile Paraly-
sis—which has done such a stupendous.job
of battling polio through the years; didn’t
l each its goal this year. On the eve of a great
triumph, the contributing public fell ;short.
Dr. Salk indicated that if anyone de-
served reward for the long years of battling
polio, it was Basil O-Connor, head of the
polio foundation, and the thousands of-tire-
less workers who have so patiently raised
money to help his research and the children
already stricken with polio.
It’s partly also because the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare in Wash-
ington—Mrs. Hobby’s department—w«s slow
in acting to guarantee a fair distribution of
the serum. More on this later.
Basically, however, the problem is
money.
—Salk’s Greatest Reward—
jReal fact is that the National Polio
Foundation, which is supplying the vaccine
for Hi children in the first and second grades,
will need around $11,000,000 to pay for this
vaccine. Its credit is excellent and it is
courageously going ahead. But all of that
money is not yet raised.
Furthermore, even this generous contri-
bution to the inoculation of the nation’s chil-
dren will cover only t*he first and 'secorid
grade*, plus the children who participated in
the field trials last year and who will get a
booster shot.
This leaves out the kindergarten group,
one of the most dangerous ages. And it leaves
out the third and fourth grades, also danger-
ous.
Actually the most dangerous polio ages
are from birth to nine years, though the
danger continues right up to 20. Franklin
Roosevelt, the man who inspired the polio
foundation, was stricken at the age of 39.
To inoculate the 60,000,000 children be-
tween birth and the age of 20, which eventu-
ally should be done, would require $120,-
000,000. Yet the polio foundation will have
a hard time finding the money for the first
and second grades; which still omits the kin-
dergarten ages, pre-school ages and higher
primary grade children just as we entpr the
dread polio season.
So 1 would like to suggest to tfcoee Sfhe
want to reward Dr. Salk that his greatest
reward would be to see the widest possible
use of his serum this spring and summer.
AflAJthat if the patriotic service qlubf and
organizations of the U.S.—Rotary, Kiwanis,
Lions, Junior Chambers of Commerce, Labor
Unions, farm groups—would pitch in and
help the 3,100 March of Dimes chapters, it
might be possible not only to make up the
polio foundation’s deficit, but also provide
enough money to protect the kids who aren’t
j old enough to go to school and the children
of the third and fourth grades.
I don’t claim to be able to spell out just
how this money should be raised, but 1 do
know that when the American people w-ant
to go to town, there’s nothing that can stop
them.
; —Mrs. Hobby Delayed—
f Down in the children’s bureau of the
Health, Education and Welfare Department,
Dr. Martha Eliot, chief of the bureau, tried
a long time ago to get her boss, Mrs. Hobby,
to prepare for the equitable distribution of
Salk polio serum.
Medical experts knew well in advance
that the vaccine was going to be successful,
that there would be a tremendous demand
for it this spring and that poorer children
whose parents can’t afford $15 a shot for
both the serum and doctors fees, would be
aut of luck.
Furthermore, they knew that polio
strikes hardest in poorer neighborhoods
where living conditions are crowded and
sanitation standards low.
So l)r. Eliot, chief of the children’s bu-
beau, called a meeting of other affected of-
ficials. She outlined the problem, urged that
a stand-by plan be prepared by which the
government would set aside a certain amount
of serum for underprivileged children, also
would regulate the use of serum. Dr. Leonard
Scheele, alert head of the public health ser-
vic, agreed with her.
They knew that, the greater amount of
serum going into commercial channels, the
greater the profit to the medical profession.
And while the vast majority of doctors don’t
want to profit from polio, there are always
a certain amount of bootleggers and profit-
eers.
They also knew that in a catch-as-catch-
can system of distribution, the older children
who have money but less need would get the
vaccine, while the younger children with no
money but greater need would get none.
Mrs. Eliot and Dr. Scheele tried to pre-
vent such inequality. Hut their chief, Mrs
Hobby, procrastinated. She saw no need for
government regulation.
Finally, weeks later and only after the
April 12 announcement, did she recommend
that Eisenhower call a conference April 22
to insure a fair distribution.
Note—Senator Morse of Oregon has in-
troduced a bill to insure a fair distribution
by which children from five to 12 and preg-
nant women would come first; children under
five would come next; children over 12 next;
and adults last.

Small Grain ;~yg«W|
The recent heavy freeze that
damaged a large amount of grain
throughout this county and most
of the state has proven two impor-
tant points lathe production prob-
lems. Firs, that grazing of small
grains during the winter season
will not increase the yield if proper-,
ly managed and may actnally in-
crease the yield; The second impor-
tant point that the cold weather
proved is that selectios of newly im-
proved varieties that are bred for
more cold resistance than the old
varieties is important.

Oil Spray for Johnson Grass
I now have in my office infor-
mation on how to make homemade
spray equipment for oil spraying of
Johnson grass. Bob WhitfiU, west
of Ennis, has already begun work
on making three units for his use
this summer. Now is the time to
get your spray equipment ready
for in case we have a rainy season
you can spray your Johnson, grass
when it is too wet to hoe or plow.
Cotton Classing
During the 195 season, Ellis Coun-
ty will be organized into one single
cotton classing unit. Gmners no
longer need to make their own
applications. This office will make
appications fur the entire county
and it tfill be necessary for the
gmners to make their cotton sam-
plers bond to complete their re-
sponsibility.
Plant Bugs On Onions.
This insect was first observed
feeding on commercially-grown
onions in 1952 in Ellis County. Ap-
parenty, the onion plant bug de-
velops on wild onions and then
transfers to nearby fields of culti-
vated onions.
The insect resembles the cotton
fleahopper and belongs to the same
family, Mididae. 7'he onion plant
bug is uniformily light green in
color and about the same size of
the , cotton fleahopper. The insect
feeds by sucking plant juice* from
the leaves. In heavily infested
fields the oni>; leaves turn pale
green in color, tend to bend down
and fall over. The insects are
generally found feeding on the
lower portion of the plant, especially
in the area where the leaf joins the
main stem.
For the control of the onion plant
bug use either DDT or tox^pnene.
Apply DDT at the rate of to 1
pound per acre or toxaphere at the
rate of 1 to 2 pounds per acre.
Sprays are probably more effective
than dusts. , If a low-gnllonage
tractor sprayer is used, it should
be equipped with two hollow-cone
nozzles per row. The spray boom
can also toe constructed with noz-
zles 18 to 20 "inches apart. If this
type of nozzle arrangement or an
airplane is used to apply the spray
increase the insecticide dosage at
least 50 percent. Fields should be
checked closely a few days after a
poison application to determine if
a second application is needed.

Recent experiments by the Unit- munty in chicks hatched from eggs
of vaccinated hens.
Lymphomatosis Is the most de-
structive, of all poultry diseases. It is
infectious—contagious and mali-
gnant. The disease affects chickens
much as cancer affects man. It is
caused by a virus and attacks the
internal organs of chans of chick-
ens, causing tumorous enlarge-
ment of the liver.
Experiments have shown that
immunity to tire "big liver disease
can be passed from vaccinated hens
to their chicks. Researchers believe
that vaccination causes a build-
up in the mother hen’s blood of
protective antibodies which are
transmitted through the eggs to the
chicks.
For the East Lansing experiir/nts,
14 White Leghorn hens of a strain
known to be highly susceptible to
the disease were vaccinated. Mo6t
of their 300 chicks proved immune
or highly resistant to the disease.
Their immunity was shown by giv-
ing them potent injections of the
active virus .Only 3 to 13 per cent
of these chicks died from lmypho-
matosis, depending on the dosage
of virus received. Even then, the
few susceptible birds survived much
longer than most chicks given the
injections without benefit of prior
vaccination of the mother hans.
Young chicks .themselves, cannot
survive the immunization. Since all
chickens gaii* resistance to the di-
sease as they grow older, only ma-
ture birds are injected with the
vaccination. Before these research
findings can be put into geenral
use however—the techniques of
vaccination must be simplified and
the production of the vaccine must
be put on a. practical, commercial
basis.

The club bid was not only a
waste of time—but it permitted Mr.
Dale to show his second suit at the
two level. My vote would go for an
immediate jump to four hearts on
the East cards.
Mr. Dale thought of doubling the
five heart bid, believing he could
set it if his partner got off to a
club lead. As you see, he was right.
But he finally decided it was too
close to fool with. Five spades cer-
tainly couldn’t be beaten badly
and might even be makeable.
— OLD RELIABLE —
Good old Muzzy! As soon as the
bidding was over he banged down
the jack-of-hearts. Now the, jack
is not the right lead from his hold-
ing. He should have led his fourth
best. There was still another de-
fect. It was not his lead.
As usual Mr. Judge, the self-ap-
pointed arbiter of the game was
close at hand—licking his chops
over the prospect of practicing his
favorite occupation—settling a dis-
pute at the bridge table.
He said that the jack of hearts
could be accepted as a correct lead.
But if Mr. Dale didn’t want to ac-
cept it he could require Mr. Muzzy
to retract the lead and make the
jack of hearts a penalty card to be
played at the first legal opportunity.
There was a third choice. M r.
Dale could forbid Mr. Champion to
lead a heart.
— CHAMPION FUMES —
This last penalty was the one Mr.
Dale chose. Fuming and mutterixig
to himself, Mr. Champion led a
small club.
Mr. Dale ruffed and laid down
the ace, of spades. He then started
the diamonds and Mr. Champion
died a thousand deaths as he had
to follow to three leads of that suit.
He ruffed the fourth diamond
with the king of spades and on
his trick Mr. Dal* discarded a heart
from dummy. Thu* the de/enders
got Just two tricks—a heart and the
king of spades.
