Pill Against Polio
May Be Available
In Two Years
By RENNIE TAYLOR
Associated Press Science Reporter
BERKELEY, Calif., (IP) — A
single capsule that will cost $3 to
$5 -and will make a person im
mune to infantile paralysis may
be available in a couple of years,
say medical scientists.
The pill will contain thousands
of weakened polio virusus which
have been grown in fertilized
hen’s eggs. The viruses will pass
into the patients blood stream and
the blood will start building anti
bodies to destroy the viruses. Be
cause they are weak, the viruses
will not cause the disease but
their presence will be sufficient
for the blood to build defenses
against future polio virus inva
sions.
The immunity may last five or
more years and might even give
lifelong protection, the research
; ers said.
Basis for this outlook is the
disclosure here Friday that the
; fertilized hen’s egg is an almost
i perfect medium for mass produc
1 ing the most deadly type of polio
| virus.
1 The process was developed by
Dr. Herald C. Cox and associates
at Gederle Laboratories, Pearl
River, N.Y.. and reported by him
■at a gathering of distinguished

Stevenson Tells Miamians
He’ll Root Out Corruption
In Government If Elected
(By the Associated Press!
Adlai E. Stevenson said Satur
day he has learned and applied
a practical lesson as governor of
Illinois: corruption in government
must be rooted out ruthlessly “be
fore it has a chance to fester and
spread through the whole of our
political system.”
Driving for votes in Miami, in
politically doubtful Florida, the
Democratic candidate pledged just
such a fight against wrongdoing
if he is elected president. Miami
itself has waged a recent cam
paign against crime.
Stevenson said he made no
claim that the Democrats have
been infallible but said: “I claim
that the Democrats have been
pretty good human beings.” Then,
as he did Friday in Oklahoma and
Louisiana, he compared present
conditions with the depression
era of 20 years ago when the Re
publicans were in power.
ready has been made but it must
be tested rigorously on animals
before it can be tried on humans,
Dr. Cox told a press conference.
The deadly virus was made
harmless by growing many gen
erations of the organism until
some of them became non-lethal.
This docile type was then pro
duced for the vaccine. Already it
has been tested on a few mon
j keys. They were not harmed and
it protected them against viru
lent doses of infantile paralysis
organisms.
