Key West Born Made Good Returns For Visit BILLY AUSTIN HAS WORLD OF MUSIC By SUSAN MCAVOY ‘Phe tip that originally led us to Billy Austin, 32 year old pianist stated that he was the composer of the song “Is You Is- Or Is You Ain't My Baby?” We learned on interviewing him at the home of his parents Mr. and Mrs. William L. Austin 912 Center street that though he is not that Austin, is nationally known in his own right. The tall enthuiastic pianist has ust completed a six weeks tour in ska. He ‘-s olayed at The B!ue Angel, Cafe Society, in *~ -» ¥ ) , Boston and Westchester county. He has composed and ap ranged for Louis Jordan’s band. Two weeks ago he wound up a ur Hine | our troops in Alaska the USO. The show was called international Revels." “And it certainly was Internation- al,” Austin said. ‘We had a Chi- nese couple who sang and danced, an Irish couple who sang amd told Jokes, two Germay girls who danc- ed the ballet and i represented my people, the colored people. Austin plays numbers ranging from jazz to bebop to semi-classi- cal. His favorite style is ‘relaxed musie for listening.” He could not play for us becalise his parent's home lacks a piano. While in Key West though he hopes 9. meet with other music lovers id even take part in, one of the lo- eal jam sessions. ‘I started learnig everything I know about musi¢ right here in Key West studying with Mrs. Ellen ez, 60% Chapman lane.

William Manchester of the Baltimore Even- ) ing Sun, who closely followed ani- mal and human tests of research at Johns Hopkins. With the first public announcement of this work today to the American Public Health Association, the Baltimore Sun papers make their story avail- bers.) By WILLIAM MANCHESTER Copyright, Baltimore Evening Sun | BALTIMORE (@—Working with | little children, @ Johns Hopkins scientist has developed and tested a vaccine which gives promise of being effective against all three types of polio. “TF am Satisfied that it is possible to produce a satisfactory level of polio antibodies in human beings,” Dr. Howard A. Howe, adjunct pro- fessor of epidemiology at Hopkins, said today, Antibodic - are specific agents which ean be developed in the blood to produce immunity against | a d-sease. Using a vaccine made of killed io virus, Dr. Howe found that it made children develop antibodies ageinst the virus. He presented his | findings today at the annual meet- ing of the American Public Health | Association in Cleveland. The preparation of a triple vac- | eine made Dr. Howe’s work espec- | jally difficult. Polio is really three | diseases. Any one of its three types | of virus — Lansing, Brunhilde or | Leon — cap cripple. A preventive Dr. Howe's, bas found that polio Viruses stay in the blood of in- fected champanzees for several days before invading the nerves and causing paralysis. Jf the mon- keys are given gamma globulin by or before then, the wirus is dis- armed, : Gamma globulion was tested this summer in Texas and Iowa to see if it would similarly protect humans, But gamma globulin is not a vaccine. Any protective effect it has would be temporary, for it decays a few weeks after being in- blood. There are two approaches to pro- ducing a vaccine. One is to develop a mild strain of the disease, which will give a person a mild case and make him immune. Such a mild strain thas |been developed for the Lansing i type of polio. But there are possible | risks in using even a mild form of | polio virus. And it is wery difficult to produce a mild form of all three types of polio. A vaccine must con- tain all three forms, because all three types of virus are so pre- valent. The other approach is to make the viruses inert, by using.a chem- | ical, formalin, which destroys their | ability to, produce disease yet Spares the ability to produce anti- hodies. Dr. Howe did that. He gave each of the three polio | types to different groups of mon- | Keys. After they were severely paralyzed, he removed the spinal cords, ground them into a thin broth, and isciated the virus ma- terial in a centrifuge. A large monkey spinal cord, dil- uted 40 fimes, produces enough vaccine for 20 children. The three broths were combined with formalin to kill the yiruses.! must he aimed at all of them.
