LXXIV No. 1S3 MINNEAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 1952 Price 5 Cents THE Use Damage To Mi tal. in ions THE BATTLE AGAINST PARALYSIS Secrecy Vital to Success of 'Shots' in Test torm Punch in one-1 wo DAMAGE EDITOR'S KOTE: Tests on children this summer may bring ihe long-awaited discovery of a new wan to control polio. The test is of a blood medicine that prevents polio paralysis in monkeys. To try to learn uhelher it can save humans, scientists will give 30.000 children in polio epidemic towns shots of this medicine.

Scientists will give 30,000 others useless shots that look exactly like the medicine. What happens to these youngsters may provide the vital answer on the worth of this blood medicine. This is the second of these articles concerning the tests. AREAS I jT jwJ "'wt JkW ill Pr li I i A (AY-; By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE Associated Trts Science Reporter NEW YORK (AP) Only one man will ever know the big secret of the polio test aimed at preventing infantile paralysis.

This secret Which children actually will get the blood medicine gamma globulin or G.G.- that may neutralize the polio virus before it can cause paralysis? In towns hit by polio epidemics, some 30,000 children will be given the G.G. injections. Another 30,000 will get Injections from vials that look exactly like the G.G. vials, but these shots will be only innocuous gelatin. The children, their parents, and doctors in the town wlil nut know which youngsters got the G.G., and which got the gelatin.

The only man who will know will be a statistician, keeping a master chart. This is Ihe only May in which (o run, fairly a'nd scientifically, a great human experiment to test a medicine (hat may bring a breakthrough against polio. Each vial, whether of G.G. or gelatin, will bear a number. When its contents are injected, the child's name will be marked down with the number on that vial.

This list will go to the master tile. All summer, doctors will observe the children and report to the master file which ones, if any, develop polio. When those results are in, the statistician can compare the two groups of children. If there was significantly less paralytic polio, or none, among children getting the G.G. shots, then G.G.

may become a practical means of preventing much paralytic polio. T-H in Steel Deadlock 'Request' Voted as Showdown on Controls Nears WASHINGTON The house joined with the senate today in requesting President Truman to try to stop the three-weeks-old steel strike by using the Taft-Hartley law. It wrote the "request" into a wage-price-control bill on which a final vole still must be taken, after refusing to "direct" the President to take injunction action. The standing vole for the Injunction "request" was 190 to 133. The "request" was embodied in an amendment offered by Rep.

Smith Va. i. It was supported by most Republicans and almost all the southern Democrats. Administration Democrats and some Republicans from big industrial areas voted against it. Nnder the II law, the administration could seek a court order, good for 80 days, against continuation of the strike.

The senate voted two weeks ago to request that Mr. Truman use this procedure. After that vote, there was speculation the President would turn to the law, despite his distaste for it, if the house followed the senate's lead. But last Thursday Mr. Truman told a news conference congress couldn't tell him what to do.

The house has severely whittled the controls bill in preliminary voting which was to be made final or reversed today. Among other things, it has adopted an amendment by Rep. Talle Iowa) which would just: about wipe out price controls while leaving wage curbs in force. Some administration leaders predicted the bill has been made so unsatisfactory that it may be rejected outright on a final vote. That would mean the end of all controls unless congress should pass a short-term exten sion of the present law, Administration leaders admit ted they had little hope of kill in? the Talle amendment.

It says controls shall not be imposed on anything not rationed or not under government allocations. Another amendment would thc P'nt waR(' slanl1' Ration board and replace it with one dominated by public members and lacking authority to act in labor disputes.

More thunderstorms are expected here tonight, although not of the intensity of those which ripped Ihrough wide areas the past two nights.

Hardest bit in Tuesday storm apjMared to be a suburban licit north of the Twin 'Hies, and western Wisconsin and central and southern Minne. sota. Fatally injured was Henrietta Mordick, 58, who was struck in the chest by a flying- timber at a farm home four miles north of Somerset, Wis. Numerous injuries were reported in the storm area. Telo phone and electric power lines, already badly disrupted Tues-day as a result of Monday siorm, suiiereci more damage in the second storm.

A Northern Stales Power Co. spokesman said the firm this morning "was not In quite as good shape as yesterday." Some 300 men labored throughout the night in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, mending broken power lines. Extensive damage to homes, trees and telephone and electric wires was reported from the Osseo, Champlin, Lexington, Spring Lake Park, Circle Pines and Lakcview districts north of the Twin Cities. Northern States described the power line situation in the Coon Rapids-Osseo areas as "a tangled mess" with many homes out of electric service.

Repairmen were to be sent here from the Mankato, district, which escaped damage last night, the company said.

The firm added it "hopes to be out of the woods by nightfall," barring more storms. Northtveslern Teleplionfl Co. said "about 300" long diu lance circuits were out of service this morning, mostly in th area west and south of Willmar, Minn. Nearly 10,000 telephones were dead, about half of them in the Twin Cities metropolitan area.

Twin Twister Rips Homes; 9 Injured A "double twister" ripped through Lexington village in Anoka county and Lakcview, a residential community off highway 8 at the height of Tuesday night's storm. Nine persons were Injured, none seriously, as the tornado leveled or damaged 14 homes and garage. The communities are 15 miles northeast of Minneapolis.

The twisters cut a path a half mile wide and seemed to spend themselves in the vicinity of nearby Rice lake. One arm of the twister turned over and sank six planes at the Rice Lake seaplane base off highway 8. Damage was estimated between 523,000 and depending on salvage possibilities. The planes are in 10 feet of muddy water. Several homes were shoved off their foundations and heavy concrete blocks were scattered about.

Chimneys fell through into two houses, trapping two youngsters who were later rescued. Kenneth M. Sutliff. whose home was just outside the path of the tornado, said he saw two distinct funnel-shaped clouds whip through the community, half a mile apart. Another resident, Dick Ze-linka, president of the Lake-view Citizens association, said he saw a twister make a "repeat" trip.

"It was mot ins circle," he. said. "It went over as far as lliee lake, then circled around and came back." Zclinka asked sightseers to refrain fiom entering the area, which is near Circle Pines, another village. Roads ito the damaged area have been blocked.

In monkeys, it's found that the polio virus gets into the bloodstream before it enters nerves and causes paralysis. G.G. shots given to monkeys can capture and neutralize the virus while it is in their blood. But. we don't know whether the virus behaves (he same way in humans, and whether G.G.

can keep (lie virus out of human nerves. G.G. is a protein, from blood, which carries antibodies against the virus. The human tests are sup. ported by the National Founda tion for infantile paralysis.

Medical teams are waiting to, towns. They will choose places where a nolio enidemic is on the rise, but not yet at its peak, a town where presumable manv children have iust been rvnosed to the virus, or are likely to' get it. i In each town, the shots of G.G. or gelatin will be given to children in the age group most affected there. In one place it may be youngsters 5 to 10 years old; in another, those JO to 15.

All the shots will Im given in four to five days time, by having: children come to special centers. The towns likelv will be of! GO.ooo to 100.000 population.

All parents, doctors and: health authorities co-operated, i the foundation reports, but 7.000 was too small a number to show whether G.G.

Attlee, Labor leader, charged in the house of commons today that the United States deliberately kept Britain in ignorance of plans to bomb the Yalu river power plants in Korea.

Attlee said bitterly that the Yalu attacks will lessen the chances of a truce and may touch off a third world war. The Labor leader, who as a prime minister took Britain into the Korean war, made Ids statement In opening a critical full dress debate on Korea before a crowded, tense house. The Laboritcs threatened a vote of censure against Prime minister Winston Churchill because of the Korean situation. Defeat for Churchill would force his government's lcsigna-tion. Attlee said that- Field Marshal Karl Alexander, Churchill's defense minister who arrived here today after a tisit to Korea, ap-1 parent ly was kept, in the dark about plans for the Yalu attacks.

"It is quile obvious that a raid of these dimensions could not have been mounted on short notice," Attlee said.
