He knew that to extract and treat monkey kidneys in such a way that no live virus remained in the serum would be complicated when done by newcomers and done on a large scale. He also knew there would be a tremendous de- mand for the vaccine once its re- sults were announced. M * SO HE PATIENTLY proposi- tioned some of the top drug com- panies of the nation, Most, however, turned him down. They weren't ready to invest any money in advance, wanted to be sure they had a hard-and-fast proposition. Only exception was Parke, Dav- is in Detroit, which did3 make a sizable investment and which, as a result, was the first company to have its vaccine completely cleared by the Public Health Service. After Dr. Salk had knocked his head against the stone wall of pharmaceutical inaction, Basil O'- Connor, head of the Infantile Paralysis Foundation, made a dar- ing move. He had faith in the vac- cine, even before the final evalua- tion was announced. He also knew there would be a terrific demand for the vaccine once the final re- sults were annnounced. So he in- vested $9,000,000 of the Founda- tion's funds in advance orders with the drug companies. He even bor- rowed the money to do this *$ * * IT WAS ONLY after the drug companies got this $9,000,000 order that they began to develop the new vaccine. However, out of the first amount they produced they reported 500,- 000 cc's did not go to the Polio Foundation which had borrowed the money to make possible the manufacture, but was shipped to the drug companies' regular com- mercial distributors. That was how Cutter Laborator- atories' vaccine happened to be found a few days after the release on April 12 all the way from Mex- ico to Arlington, Va. That was also how, out of the first fatalities resulting from the inoculations, five were the children of doctors. Doctors got the vaccine first and used it on their own chil- dren. Unfortunately some of it was Cutter vaccine which has now been withdrawn. * * * NOTE--The Cutter Laboratories had had one criminal conviction in 1949 as a result of a Food and Drug Administration complaint that they failed to sterilize cer- tain water solutions. Senate investigators have learn- ed that stock-market speculators got an advance tip on the Salk vaccine and invested heavily in the six drug companies. These com- panies are expected to make $20,- 000,000 profit this year alone. (Copyright 1955, by the Bell Syndicate) D. Preston, Tech. Mgr., The Chem.

RYAN AP Foreign Correspondent THIS WILL BE a summer of intense diplo- matic activity at high levels.. While this may have a tendency in the West to deflect at- tention from what is going on elsewhere, the Russians will be exploring every possibility, however remote, for dividing the Western camp. A number of recent developments testify to this. One is the attitude of the Russians in Berlin on the Western appeal for Moscow's in- tervention on the road tax issue. Another is a new pronouncement by Maurice Thorez, secre- tary general of the French Communist party, which lays down the line freqtiently for Eu- ropean Communists. In Berlin, the West, asked the Russians to step in and prevent "blackmail" taxes on vital truck traffic to and from West Berlin, an iso- lated island in the Soviet zone of Germany. Soviet Ambassador Georgi Pushkin shrugged off the plea. He told his Western counterparts the exhorbitant taxes imposed by the Com- munists seven weeks ago? were solely the res- The Daily Staff Editorial Staff Eugene Hartwig....................Managing Editor Dorothy Myers.... ...................City Editor Jon Sobeloff.:........................

Assoi, ciaeRusinesMan a, er ponsibility of the German Peoples Democratic Republic That government is a Soviet puppet. T HE RUSSIAN move is logical enough. Re- cently the Communists put forward the slogan "Germans must sit around the same table together." The Communists are trying to force recognition of their East zone govern- ment by obliging the Federal Republic at Bonn to negotiate with it. Once the ice is broken, the implication is that there can be. negotia- tions on other issues, too, including all-German elections and reunification of Germany. That does not mean that the Communists intend to permit free elections, but it does mean that they are attempting to use the promise as a means of slowing down West Germany's, contribution to NATO, of which it recently be,* came a member. The West German Social De- mocrats and representatives of the powerful West German trade unions have been demand- ing that all possible avenues toward reunifica- tion be explained before West Germany is re- armed. The offer of such an avenue could mean long delay. In France the Communist party Central Committee has just held an important session at which tactics were polished up. This fore- shadows an attempt by Communists to parti- cipate once again in the French and Italian governments. The two countries are targets no less important than Germany in the drive to break up Western unity, EUROPEAN COMMUNISTS recognize they have no hope at this time of accomplishing their aims by revolutionary methods. They are reviving the idea of legal, parliamentary ac- tion. And Communists are ordered to woo the Socialists and all elements of the left into a popular front The Communists, at Moscow's direction, have revived the line of 20 years ago, when the USSR stood in awe of the growing menace of T HREE famed comedies, all of them riotously active, make up the current Speech Department Playbill at the Barbour Gym and they add up to an extremely en- tertaining evening. The authors represented in this experiment in horseshoe staging, (that is, the audience is seated in a "U" around the players) are Shaw, Shakespeare, and Aristo- phanes. The works: "The Admir- able Bashville," "The Pyramus and Thisbe" scene from "Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Lysistrata" (the last abridged) are all broadly comic in conception, filled with farcical and filial situations. They LETTERS TO THE EDITOR No More Problem ** To the Editor: SECRETARY of Defense Charles Wilson should be commended for his foresight in setting up a committee to deal with the prob- lem of "brain-washing." The se- riousness of this problem can per- haps best be shown by the follow- ing - example. Assume that the United States gets involved in a war over Formosa. Then, let us as- sume that a captured American soldier is asked this question, "What are you fighting for?" Let us look at the possible answers he could give, 1. Freedom. To this answer his captors might reply that if the United States were really interest- ed in freedom why has it sought out as its allies such despots as Chiang Kai Shek, Francisco Fran- co, Synghman Rhee and the Ger- man militarists? Furthermore, ...1s_. I - is - _ ,- '+-+.. 3. For Defense of the United States. To this his captors might reply that if Formosa is essen- tial to the defense of the United States, then Hawaii is essential to the defense of China. The de- fensive line depends on how far any nation wants to extend its boundaries. Today, the only real defense is universal disarmament. And what would universal disarm- ament do to the American econ- omy? I submit that this diabolical type of "brain-washing" is bound to have a demoralizing affect on anyone with a brain. Therefore, I would like to offer Mr. Wilson and his committee a solution to the problem. I suggest that they devise an electronic computor. which could be substituted for the brain. It should be able to co-ordinate hu- man actions and, at the same time, eliminate the negative fea- ture of the human brain, i.e. the abound in parody, burlesque and sometimes - delicate, sometimes- not, slapstick. "Bashville," the first of the trio, is a play that parodies the eloquent and poetic love story of "rich girlj loves crass boor," and director Clarence Stephenson has wisely seen fit to stage it in the grand melodramatic style. 'he actors all employ a florid technique, and the storming and mugging are all very funny. All complications to the union of the star-crossed lovers are impossibly dissolvetf and there is a totally nonsensical ending in the best tradition. Mary Davey as the heroine, Charles Lutz as the poetic pug, who spouts Shakes- perean in rough tones, and AlI Senter as Bashville, the butler who harbours secret desires, all capture the flair and style nicely. THE SECOND PLAY is the1 weakest of the three. Shakespeare's burlesque of the Greek legend is a fine sketch, but 7.ere, in its all- girl cast presentation, it becomes slightly overpowering. The lines are shouted in a way not com- patible with the acoustics of Bar- bour Gym and the result too often is garbled gags. Much of it is, however, clear and clever, and there are some excel- lent performances. * * * "LYSISTRATA," the terror of the U.S. Post Office, is here ac- tually a capsule version of the Greek comedy. Telling the tale of the Grecian women who deny their amours to their soldier hus- bands in order to prevent war, it is the most ambitious project of the three. Gwen Arner has staged it tra- ditionally and beautifully. The play is still magnificently funny, and innuendos and complications between reluctant women and frustrated men lead to some hys- I4I -4 , tC by D ic Bibi4l ,' -" , / ' ;
