Show Tou Suppose It'll Break Any Altitude Records?' Ray Cromley ests - -Pmvina j mm Value or rlu bhots .Armv I- m m THURSDAY.. MARCH 19, 1964 t mmmz3 WASHINGTON on the current controversy over the value of flu shots. It explains why some people swear by the shots and why others doubt their value. For the past three years the Army has given influenza vaccine to every man in service more than 30 days. In addition, the Army Medical Corps has experimentally run major tests with "vaccin-atees- " and control groups of unvaccinate men regularly for more than 20 years. The Army doctors have found that vaccinated men have had from 11 to 92 per cent fewer cases of flu, depending on the type of vaccine and the strain of flu virus prevalent. In three test years out of four, there were 60 to 92 per cent fewer flu cases among the vaccinated men. The army, which lost 50,000 men in battle in 1917 and 1918, and 47,000 men to influenza these same years, considers its flu program a success. But why does protection vary from 11 to 92 per cent? In 1943, the Army vaccine gave 72 per cent protection. By 1945 that protection was up to 92 per cent. In 1947, protection dropped to 11 per cent when a new type of virus appeared which varied significantly from the strains in the Army vaccine. Block 'Kicks' Of Glue Sniffers Let us consider for a moment the growing addiction of young America to glue sniffing. When this latest quirk of human behavior was first turned up, it was naively regarded as just another kookie foible that would soon go away like goldfish swallowing, panty raids and telephone booths with people. But it hasn't gone away, it has persisted and flourished until today 15 per cent of the nation's police report that it is a serious in their problem among teen-ageover-stuffi- ng rs communities. Why would anyone in his right mind want to sniff glue? For kicks, man for kicks. Like what else? Every parent knows that two of the most dangerous words in the English language are "kicks" and "chicken." Whenever a kid can't find any earthly excuse for doing something he knows is completely silly or dangerous, he does it for "kicks." Listen to Nature's 'No' Nature is especially cruel, capricious and dangerous at this time of year. But it usually gives warning of danger ahead. Tragedy strikes again and again because man ignores this warning. A driver drowns because he insists on fording a stream which obviously is too high for safety because of heavy rains. The pilot of a private plane crashes because he ignores heavy fog and takes off anyway. A man and his family die because he drives too fast on an icy road. Everyone admires courage. But false bravado isn't courage, and sound judgment is good, cheap life insurance. When nature says "don't," it's smart to pay attention. You'll avoid trouble and live longer. w If he doesn't do it, he's "chick- Lola D., aged 28, is a Arizona housewife.

And I don't mind the fact that others may be equally partial to their own CASE 6: ed candidates. "But what irritates me is the fact that he is falsely accused of many things. "For example," by innuendo and gos- sip, he is charged with being hostile to Negroes. an educational campaign to alert potential sniffers and their parents to the dangers involved. Many municipalities are passing laws to stop or at least discourage glue sniffing. It is to be hoped and no pun is intended they can make these laws stick. One More Way Of Life "So why do his enemies engage in such malicious falsehoods?" Such malicious gossip belongs in the "ad hominem" fallacy of logic. When your opponents can't refute you logically, then they may indulge in whispering campaigns and villification. They try to belittle your personal prestige as a "red herring" device to distract attention from your logic and their inability to refute your sound arguments. And I can personally testify to this ad hominem attack, for I have also been subjected to it for over 25 years. "That AWFUL Doctor Crane," people will exclaim, probably because I have stepped on a few pet corns by telling women they are 50 per cent to blame for divorce because of their sexual sins of omission.

Daniel parried her query by asking "What Dr. Crane is that?" "Oh, he's a sex maniac," the coed glibly informed him. "And my psychology prof at the university says he is a quack and not a doctor at all!" To which Daniel casually replied: "Oh, I believe I've seen Dr. Crane's column in papers up North. But I understand he was a Northwestern University psychologist and also an M. D." "No, he isn't," the coed replied. "He Is not a psychologist and does NOT have any M. D. degree." "That's odd," Daniel replied, "for some of my classmates say they have studied his textbook in their psychology "And I have seen an M. D. degree linked with his name over the .column, so are you sure he is a quack?" "Oh, yes, indeed," the coed glibly replied, "for my psychology professor tells us so, and there isn't a week that passes that he doesn't ridicule some of Dr. Crane's newspaper columns." By ROBERT S. ALLEN and PAUL SCOTT The family WASHINGTON the of Yuri Nosenko, import- Russian secret police official who defected in Geneva last month, is putting U. S. authorities on the horns of a major foreign policy dilemma. His attractive wife and mother are demanding a private interview with U. S. Ambassador Foy D. Kohler, apparently to discuss the possibility of their conferring personally with Nosenko. This unprecedented request, being carefully studied by Secretary Rusk, was made by the two women when they showed Up unexepctedly at the U. S. embassy in Moscow following Nosenko's defection. According to reliable State Department sources, Ambassador Kohler has diplomatically avoided a direct confrontation with the women, pending instructions from Secretary Rusk. These are expected this week when Rusk meets with Ambassador Kohler, who returned to Washington last Thursday for a round of conferences on the impact the Nosenko defection may rehave on future U. lations. The meeting with Kohler was needed because Secretary Rusk and his key advisers are sharply split over the strategy to be followed should the women to come to the U. S. to talk seek with Nosenko. In backstage deliberations, these State Department "experts" on Russia have been unable to agree on the purpose behind the women's strange reother than it would quest never have been permitted without Kremlin approval. Ambassador Kohler's vivid reports on the visit clearly indicated that the women, who iet arrived at the embassy attired in fur coats, had the blessings of the highest Soviet officials in their undertaking. INSIDE STORY The Am- bassador reported that the wominto the U. S. em- en sashayed bassy unannounced, asking that they be taken immediately to see him after giving their iden- tity. When an embassy aide told So They Say Report them this would be impossible because the Ambassador was too busy, the two women indignantly said they would wait until he was free to talk to them. After a series of emergency staff conferences, Ambassador Kohler said he sent another aide to tell the women he would be tied up all day. On that note, the women ended their "sit-in-," announcing that they would return at a later date. As embassy watched, an official car waiting nearby picked up the two women as they departed. U. S. intelligence authorities believe the women's appearance at the embassy was a desperate Russian effort to try to get Nosenko, the son of a late Soviet Minister of Shipbuilding, to return to the Soviet Union. As reported in this column last week, Nosenko has revealed the names of more than 150 espionage agents in this country and abroad to U. S. authorities. His sensational disclosures the on at least five put finger spy rings, one reputedly in a highly sensitive U. S. agency. Among those named by the former ranking KGB officer is an employe who had served in the U. S. embassy in Moscow. While Nosenko was listed as a "disarmament expert" by the Soviet before his defection, he has revealed to U. S. officials that he held a key position in the "American section" of the KGB. The KGB is responsible for the collection of intelligence abroad within and the Soviet Union; for guarding against internal subversion; and detecting major economic crimes, such as smuggling, currency speculation and embezzleof-fic- als counter-intelligen- ce ment. Acording to Nosenka, the KGB employs 400,000 and has undercover agents in every country in the world, including Communist China. He reported that this network of agents is controlled by a series of main directorates for each of the organization's main functions. These are supplemented by specialized groups concerned with various tasks, such as communications, forging passports and gold coins, providing special weapons, All are symptoms of uncertainty ol Evangelist Billy Graham, In commenting on the Beatles, the British "singing" phenomenons.

The voluntary shift, which has come Ibout in recent months, is reportedly due to the refugees' disappointment over the way the CIA was handling their reports. According to one official of the Cuban Revolutionary Council, which has been compiling reports on the continued Soviet build-u- p in Cuba, the CIA is their infor again mation as it did before the Cuban missile crisis. The council's most recent report to the F BI covers an American scientist once suspected of peddling atomic secrets to Russia. It warns that he has set up a ng nuclear experimental laboratory in Cuba. The report identifies the scientist as Robert Braun Walder, 61, formerly of Detroit. It claims that the laboratory is located in a Pinar del Rio Province cave, and Walder is working there with Russian scientists. A graduate of the California Institute of Technology, Walder held an Atomic Energy Commission clearance from 1955 to 1958.

V V Ading a strain of that new virus to the vaccine brought protection back up to 68 per cent by 1950 and to 83 per cent by 1953. Protection dipped markedly a few years later with the spread of the Asian flu virus. An Army crash program developed a still newer vaccine in the spring of 1957 that incorporated the Asian influenza virus with the older types. This brought 47 to 77 per cent protection, depending on the potency of the vaccine used. Though flu nationwide hit its highest levels since the 1917-1- 8 epidemic, by early 1958 the Army had brought its influenza rates down to those of normal, nonepidemic years . . . considerably lower than in the civilian population. In 1958, the new vaccines were giving 83 per cent protec- tion. The Army says its secret is the speed with which these new strains are added to its old vaccines. Army men report they regularly include more types of flu viruses in their vaccines than are available in vaccines used by most civilian doctors. What the Army men expect is that their constantly improved vaccines will hold the line. The vaccines tend to prevent epidemics from getting out of hand. They never wipe out flu. miViYiYi if I for their summer vacations in Provo and all over Utah County.

There is nothing wrong with mowing lowrts and but these jobs should be for the drop-ou-ts and for the ones who do not have the abilities and capabilities to do other work.

They give work to the ones most qualified, but they cannot give these jobs to these young people if you, as business-me- n do not call in and tell them what kind of work you need done and what type of young people you can use in your business.

As I remember it, city commissioners around election time were mighty glad to get elected and receive their present salary. And now that they have a four-yegrip on their jobs, they are going to raise then-ow- n salaries, the mayor from ar $6000 to $9500 per year, and the commissioners from $5000 to $9000 per year. Now if this salary boosting precedent by the fathers, surely we can't blame our school teachers (who are iset city as well educated as the city commissioners) for demanding a big salary raise also.
