PITTSBURGH, Pa. -Control
of virus diseases other than
polio can be expected to result
from the discoveries that led to
the Salk vaccine.
This was the prediction today
of Dr. Jonas E. Salk on the
fifth anniversary of the release
of the Francis Report at Ann
Arbor which declared the Salk
polio vaccine to be "safe, effective
and potent."
Dr. Thomas Francis, jr.,
chairman of the University of
Michigan S c h o o I of Public
Health's department of epidemiology
who wrote the historic
Francis Report, today predicted
that further developments
in medical science can be built
on the "foundation of knowledge"
provided by Salk vaccine.
Dr. Salk, who is Commonwealth
Professor of Preventive
Medicine at the University of
Pittsburgh Schoo I of Public
Health, issued an anniversary I three doses of vaccine over the
