DR. SALK BACK IN LABORATORY
Work On Poliomyelitis Vaccine (NJZ. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 8 p.m.) PITTSBURGH, Apr. 18. Dr. Jonas Salk, centre of a weeklong celebration after his anti-polio-myelitis vaccine was declared effective, returned to work today.
The mild-mannered scientist slipped on his white coat and went back to his laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh; He wants to make his vaccine 100 per cent, perfect. His associates said he returned to “mountains of work” which piled up during his week’s visit to Ann Arbor, Michigan. Results of a nationwide test of the Salk vaccine were announced last Tuesday in Ann Arbor. Since then the entire nation has been preparing for the mass inoculation of children.
In Washington, Senator Pat McNamara (Republican, Michigan) introduced a bill in the Senate today under which Dr. Salk would receive a Federal pension of 10,000 dollars a year for life.
