Washington Senator W Kerr Scott introduced a Senate resolution urging the Agriculture Department to fund a comprehensive one million dollar tobacco research program. He argues for basic studies on chemical components, leaf quality, diseases, insect control, curing methods, and mechanized production to illuminate any link between smoking and lung cancer and to boost tobacco efficiency. He notes federal tobacco taxes exceed a billion dollars annually while research funds are limited and calls for thorough studies of consumption patterns and health impacts.

One Shot Gives Protection from Polio Says Salk
Dr Jonas Salk answered key polio vaccine questions in Atlantic City. A single shot provides large protection lasting six months or longer, reduces risk of paralytic polio, and does not increase overall polio chances. A second shot may be delayed up to 30 months. Second dose can be given in summer, as can the first. Vaccinated children can still spread polio to unvaccinated family members.

Marine Bayonets Fire During Honolulu Affair Sparks Assault Charge
Honolulu police charged Marine Clyde C. Denemark, 24, with assault and battery with a deadly weapon after a confrontation at a Pearl Harbor area home where he found Melva Denmark in bed with sailor James H. Lott. Lott, a sailor from Columbus, Ga., is hospitalized in serious but noncritical condition, nine inches by two inches stomach wound. Denmark, a viola player, described ongoing competition among men for her. The case recalls a 1949 incident where Denmark’s former husband killed Paul Y. Johnson after discovering her with him. Powell received a manslaughter sentence.
