Hope for Polio Control Increases — Sageser Increased hope for the eventual control of polio is reported by Mrs. Vern Sageser of Amelia, nealth chairman of the national home demonstration council, who has just returned from a five day polio conference in New York. Highlight of the proceedings, Mrs. sageser said, was the session at which Dr. Jonas E. Salk of the University of Pittsburg school of medicine explained the potent ialities of a trial vaccine against polio which he developed under march of dimes grant. Proved safe on tests on more than 700 people, including Doctor Salk s young sons, the vaccine will be given large-scale validity trials in many parts of the coun try before the 1954 polio season, according to current plans. Mrs. Sageser stated Doctor Salk’s work to date indicated that the trial vaccine against polio has shown itself capable of increas ing the amount of antibody level in the blood. Field trials are scheduled for next year, to determine whether or not this rise in antibody level is adequate to protect against paralytic polio. “A vaccine against polio, when it is finally developed, holds the promise of longlasting protection,” said Mrs. Sageser. “But until the day when a vaccine is available for mass distribution, our only real hope against polio is a tem porary preventive, gamma glob ulin—-GG. Reports given at our women’s meeting indicated that there would be two times as much GG available this summer as there was last summer.” Mrs. Sageser reported that at the session devoted to a report on medical progress, Dr. Hart E. Van Riper, medical director of the national foundation, said that "no body would i claim it was the GG that reduced the polio cases in 1953, but something did. Compare the figures of 57,000 polio cases in 1952 with 35,000 in il953, and you’ll see there is room for hope.” At another session. Basil O’ Conner, president of the national foundation, asserted that “it is this hope which leads us to plan to use $26,500,000—over one-third of the $75,000,000 which we must raise in the 1954 march of dimes— !for polio protection. The rest of this sum will be used to carry out the national foundation’s basic progams of patient aid, scientific research, and professional educa tion.” Mrs. Sageser also stated that the meeting was addressed by Dr. George Gallup, director, American Institute of Public O pinion, and a trustee of the national foundation. Doctor Gal lup advised the women that the American people make their o pinions with their heads, rather than their hearts, and predicted that given facts, they would put forth the greatest effort yet to provide the funds for control of polio. Helen Hayes, celebrated actress and national chairman of women’s activities for the national found ation, welcomed the delegates to the meeting. Another highlight of the gathering was a talk on “Women, Welfare and the World” bv Mrs. Lorena B. Hahn, former Nebraskan, United States repre sentative to the United Nations Commission on the status of women.

S. R. H. (Ray) Shriner Phone 106 — O’Neill Power Problems to Be Resolved Sen. Butler Sends Engineer to State Sen. Hugh Butler (R.-Nebr.) has announced that he has called Elmer K. Nelson, staff engineer for the senate committee on in terior and insular affairs, to Ne braska for consultations with representatives of the various Ne braska public power groups, in cluding the REA’s, in view of the development of several prob lems and controversies relating to the purchase and transmission of federally developed power by the various Nebraska organiza tions. Butler is chairman of the senate committee by which Nel son is employed. “It is obvious that there are several problems relating to our use of federal power which must be straightened out,” Butler said. “There seem to be two which are of key importance. “One is the problem of con structing transmission lines from the Missouri river mainstem dams in South Dakota, so as to get the power that will be generated by those dams down into Nebraska. The other is the problem of giv ing assurance to Nebraska REA’s and other consumers that their expanding future needs for pow er will be met. This last problem is tied in to the current interpre tation of the preference clause. “The whole problem of analyz ing power rates and quantities for our use here is excessively complicated, particularly when it comes to predicting future needs and the terms on which they can be met from federal power sources. On the one hand Ne braska must have large quanti ties of federal power at the low est possible cost. On the other hand we all concede the im portance of permitting the teder ai government to recover its costs. “I intend to go into the whole matter very fully with the as sistance of my staff engineer As soon as I have the whole picture I can assure the people of Ne braska that I will take whatever action is necessary to see to it that their needs are taken jare of.” Senator Butler had a word of advice to offer his constituents in passing judgment on the Harry Dexter White case, which has at tracted nationwide attention. “I would suggest that each of us decide on the questions that have been raised in this contro versy, purely on the basis of the facts that have been developed, and ignore the epithets and the charges of political motivati in,” Butler said. “Thus, does the record show that the FBI gave sufficient warning to the white house and the cabinet that Harry Dexter White was part of an espionage ring and was a security risk?” he continued. “The record shows that on seven different occasions the FBI specifically cited White in written memorandums, before White was appointed a director of the international monetary fund.” Tune in . .. “Voice of The Fron tier” . . . thrice weekly.
