A search was made for polarization in inclusive proton production at 400 GeV/c, P/sub t/=0.96 GeV/c, x=0.8. (Polarization in inclusive ..lambda.. production is 10% in this region.) These protons were used to produce ..lambda..'s at p/sub t/=0, and the polarization was found to be 0.003 +- 0.006. This indicates that either the proton polarization is zero or that the p-..lambda.. spin transfer is zero, or both.
