THOUGHTS there be light," is the perpetiul demand ef Truth Lote, changing chaos into order and discord into the music of the Baker Eddy. End Of Epidemic Polio the end of 1957, epidemic polio can to aft ind in the United States. In making that prediction, the president of the National Foundation for Infantile Par- tlysis, Basil O'Connor, specified only that all concerned tO-operate fully.

That means that manufacturers produce the Salk vaccine in sufficient quantities, that public health men release it promptly, that physicians see that it is administered properly and parents see that the entire susceptible population is given the inoculations. It is probably because so many human factors are involved, E. Salk, originator Of the vaccine, Was not quite as optimistic in his prediction of the end ef epidemic polio. He told the American Medical Association on June 11 that if the full series of vaccinations were properly administered, paralysis of children and by the three known'types of polio virus could be eliminated within the next three years. Both the paralytic and non-paralytic forms of polio decur in mass outbreaks.

Among nearly 5,000 children who received vaccine in the 7 field trial in 1954 and a booster in 1955, only one case of paralytic polio occurred in the Massachusetts epidemic. That is the reason the or third shot, is emphasized as essential seven months or more after the first two primary injections. Foundation statisticians estimate that this year, the fealk vaccine prevented more than 1,200 cases of paralytic polib. When paralysis occurred in vaccinated children, there was evidence it was'milder than might have been expected. With year's experience supplementing and sup- p6rting the findings of the field trials, crippling polio is definitely on the way out.

Whether the end comes in a year or three, will depend on our own intelligence and ability to use the vaccine properly. Moonlight nights are when a youth's coat lapels take on that school girl complexion. There is extraordinary excitement ever the report that Soviet Russia will produce 1,200,000 trained engineers and scientists during the present 'decade compared with 900,000 to be "turned out" in this country. The phrase, "turned out" is particularly applicable because that precisely is what is being done in so many schools which pretend to educate men and women. These are really vocational schools rather than colleges or universities and the men who come out of them may have learned a trade but they have not been nurtured by the long line of human culture.

It does not seem to me that the difference ih numbers is really important but that the intellectual quality, the capacity for personal" initiative, the freedom to make mistakes without fear of reprisal, and a social environment that produces contentment and happiness are what matter. If Soviet Russia can achieve such ends better than we can, its leadership in the world will be greater than ours; if we achieve such ends by education, our accomplishments will be greater. Professor Benjamin H. Williams of the Industrial College of the Armed Forces says "Social when we consider that the future dominance Of the world may be decided Within the narrow fields of guided missiles and atomic bembs, the Russian power ef concentration may turn out to be ominous to a nation that diffuses its activities ever wide areas of products, including many luxury Commodities and services." This represents the fear psychology of those who relate themselves to military affairs. A nation that.produced Only guided missiles and atomic bombs, but no thinkers, ho poets, no philosophers, no historians would sOon be as barren as a desert.

Many of the great civilizations of the world disappeared because they devoted themselves only to conquest and defense. The Uzbeks', were once a great people and produced the philosopher, Avicenna, but the beks were involved in the interminable wars of Genghis Khan and his descendants and disappeared into the pages of history.

In addition, an increase in special emergency loans to farmers of $65,000,000 will be available to families that have foade sound financial plans. They include farmers who take part-time employment off the farm. On the theory that low-income agriculture is a trade- area problem, part of the solution sought is to bring in some industry to add to the farm income. County re- tOurces and needs would be surveyed and industries adapted to them sought. The whole program will be handled Ijy local initiative, through county and state development committees.

Ray Tucker economic including White House advisers, look for at least 10 years Of the kind of "prosperity" which we are enjoying now. And this optimistic viewpoint Is shared by nyrny private and public who do not credit the nation's rosy state solely to the Eisenhower administration. They are non-political sobthsayers. They base their predictions on several factors never before present? in our economic system, or not present in such a degree as today. They look forward to at least $125 billion of annual spending by the federal, state and local governmental units.

They expect at least $100 billion in yearly expenditures for industrial expansion, schools; hospitals, highways and for other federal and local projects. NOW TO PREVENT 1929 HAPPENING That volume of cash and credit, which goes into corporation treasuries and workingmen's pockets, is relied upon to maintain and to bolster the system of American production and consumption. Even if there were a slight depression like that of 1937, resulting in unemployment and a curtailment of purchasing power, which are the principal ingredients of an economic slump, there are new cushions and supports to prevent a recurrence of the 1929 crash. Never before did so many Americans possess such a huge "nest egg" or "rainy day" account. The ownership of bank deposits, public and, private securities, life insurance policies, home and Social Security benefits provide a safeguard against depression hardships never equalled in human history.

There is sufficient "fat" to last through several lean years. POLITICIANS HAVE LEARNED LESSON the politicians and government Nation "Of The Future" officials have learned their lesson from the political, social and economic effects of the disaster. It resulted in two of the worst defeats, 1932 and 1936, for the Republican party. It heralded 20 years of Democratic supremacy at Washington, including the election of a single individual to the Presidency four times. A new depression would have even more catastrophic results.

It would have a worldwide reaction, weakening our Allies and alliances overseas. It would enable Moscow to announce, as the Kremlin has maintained for years, that the "capitalistic system tains within itself the seeds of its own The Republicans cannot afford another crack-up on their time. Neither can the Democrats. Politicians do not survive depressions.

Fortunately, such an anti-depression expenditure need not consist of wasteful, make-work and nonconstructive- activities, according to White House advisers. 3ihions can devoted to conversion of atomic ehergy to tpeacetime, industrial use.

Sokolsky Engineering Overstress Williams quotes Lewis Strauss of the Atomic Energy Commission as saying: "More than half of all Russian university graduates are in the science-mathematics fields; only graduates are fields. Russian Ph.D.'s, or the equivalent, are three to one in favor of science and engineering; in the United States the ratio is just the thuee doctorates in the humanities for every one in science and mathematics." Precisely what does that prove? It only goes to show that a large number of intelligent young men and women in the United States have faith in the future of their country and their civilization and are preparing themselves to meet other problems than the manufacture of guided missiles and atom bombs. Many of those to whom Strauss refers are preparing themselves in the social Sciences which are as important as engineering if this country is to survive this period which Williams calls the age of peril. Many are linguists, historians, musicians, artists, clergymen.

Are we only to train for war? It is easy to make such phrases. We have passed several ages of peril in our history. This one seems more terrible than any other only because we are now alive. Surely the people of the south must have felt that they lived in an age of peril when Sherman was marching to the sea, devastating as he moved, destroying everything in his Only now, nearly a century later, is the south recovering from that frightful experience, its age of peril. But the south is recovering; that is the moral of the tale.

AH the world was frightened by the meaningless march of the one called Alexander the Great in Europe and Iskander in Asia. But what has become of his Macedonia. It is a partitioned land of peasants. Of Alexander, little more is significant but the memory that his tutor was Aristotle, as great an intellect as ever lived. These conquerors come and go and are readily forgotten even if they leave monuments of themselves all over the place.

Stalin was down-graded by his successors, but most of these so-called great men are downgraded by the course of events which measures their achievements in perspective.
