That Little Pink Card!
Doctor Protest Against
Mass Polio Vaccine Shots
By DAVE McREYNOLDS
The effect of a request by the
wife of a Houston pastor to se
cure Salk Polio vaccine shots for
the members of her congregation
has gone well on the way to gain
national recognition and smear the
reputation of the American Med
ical Association.
It all began when Mrs. James
B. Argue, a registered nurse, and
wife of the pastor of Foster Place
Church, Houston, acted on the sug
gestion of a church member to
secure mass polio inoculations for
other church members.
Mrs. Argue asked the opinion
of the Harris County Health Offi
cer and got his approval at what
he deemed a “worthwhile cause.”
He, in turn, suggested she ask the
opinion of Dr. M. D. Levy, presi
dent of the Harris County Medi
cal Society.
This was done and Dr. Levy
said he saw no reason why the
program shouldn’t begin right
away. In addition he advised her
to contact Dr. Thomas M. Royce,
chairman of the society’s public
relations committee^ and he told
Mrs. Argue the society had no
set policy on such a program and
to go ahead with her shots.

Athletes For Freedom
Larry Piper, Student Senate president, said Monday he
would like to see some effort made to collect A&M’s share of
the Hungarian relief fund-
As a leader of the student body and a member of the
state-wide student program to raise money for the Hun
garians he has the double job of coming up with a suitable
program here and to sell the idea of contribution to this
cause to Aggies.
But there is a chance to raise the money and at the
same time provide top notch athletic entertainment.
Sports Illustrated is currently sponsoring a group of
Hungarian athletes on a Freedom Tour. These are the ath
letes who forced their way out of Hungary to enter the
Olympics in Australia.
After the games, though, they no longer had a free
country and 38 of them stayed to tour this country to raise
money to aid their families and friends in Hungary in the
struggle against Russia.
Since these athletes were winners in the Olympics, they
provide outstanding exhibitions in track, water polo, swim
ming, diving, fencing and gymnastics.
The tour is self supporting and lodging and* board are
provided by the hosts for each exhibition. Their personal
expenses come from the proceeds and the net goes to the
Hungarian Relief Fund for direct aid in the struggle against
Russia.
Contacts for booking the exhibitions can be made
through Dick Atcheson for the fencers and gymnasts and
Jim Belsey for the water team. Both of these men can be
reached through Sports Illustrated.

2 HOURS OF HILARIOUS FUN
The shots were administered
under the supervision of a doctor
at wholesale cost of $1 per shot.
Seven hundred and fifty persons
received shots under the church
plan.
Until this time all went well.
Then the villain entered. A
news story ran telling of the
church and its shot program.
This brought a flood of requests
from over the Gulf Coast asking
how to go about organizing such
a program in other communities.
Then the doctors came up with
an abrupt about face with a state
ment in which they say the pro
gram was carried out without
their blessing.
In Sunday’s issue of the Fort
Worth Star Telegram a news
story was carried about the block
ing of such a movement in Tar
rant County by their Medical So
ciety.
So, it seems that somewhere
the doctors have gotten their bills
added up and in the case of the
Houston action, see where their
colleagues have missed out on
about $9,000 in fees which they
would have realized if the polio
shots were given in their offices
at $5 each.
The question is now, who got
their story wrong in Harris Coun
ty ? The wife of the preacher
who, regardless of what happens
later, got 750 inoculated against
the dreaded disease or—the doc
tors who are all aghast at the
movement which might cost them
fees.
What is the Hippocratic Oath
anyhow ?
