RefIectorized
Cor Plates? =

The possibility of adopting a-new
reflectorized car plate in 1857 was
considered by the State Highway
Commission yesterday. George
Lindner, representing Minnesota
Mining and Milling Company pre-
sented the proposal as a safety
and accident prevention measure"
The reflectorized process, Lindner
said, enables car approaching
another vehicle from the rear at
night to see the shining rear Ii
cense plate more than 1000 feet
away" c. L. Lane, Superintendent
of the motor vehicle division
pointed out that next years plates
have already been ordered, but
Doth the Commission and Mr.. Lane
expressed interest in the possibil-
ity of adopting the new plates in
1851.

Cut Down Woter
On Trees, Shrubs

It wouldn't do to put antifreeZe
on your trees and shrubs, but it is
wise to begin "Winterizing" them
for the cold weather ahead.
On your regular watering sched-
ule, start cutting down the amount
of water you're now using. This
gives trees and shrubs a chance to
harden off as it reduces sap flow.
Later, after your deciduous plants
have lost their leaves, soak them
good once.
Some plants aren't meant to pro-
duce lush growth during the WIN
ter, so don't put any more fertilizer
on your trees this fall. This is
especially true of palo verde, sour
orange, eucalyptus, carob, other
broadleafed evergreens, and shrubs
like privet and oleander.
Any of your trees that have
grown fast during the summer
need to be watched closely One of
the main things that keeps these
trees from hardening off is too
much water on your lawns now, as
the water SOakS the tree roots.

Well, folks,
Twenty-One years is a long
time! Are you looking forward
TO being "21"? Or do you look
back and remember when you
thought you would never reach
"'21"? Well, I've gone through
waiting period twice now. Yes,
I became "21" quite a few years
ago, but REDDY'S CORNER is
just reaching that magical "21"!
Yes, Reddy's Corner became of
age today, October Ia. 1884 to
October Ia, 1855 is "21" years,
and long, long "2I" years, too.
L can't say that 1 have enjoyed
every minute of it either. In fact.
there have been several times
when I would have given Reddy's
Corner to some one for "pleas-
ant smile." But in looking back
now over the years, there have
been many ups and downs. At
times 1 have been very discOur-
aged, but those times have been
more than offset by the fine CO.
operation L have always enjoyed
from you, THE CUSTOMER.
without your continued support
''Reddy's Corner would now only
be a memory.
We. have worked well tOgeth-
er now for "21" years. Personally
L am looking forward to at least
that many more. Thanks and
thanks again. for your support
and friendship.
AS always,
JUST REDDY.

the usual spring and summer
polio season" But selection Of
the April IL announcement date,
they explained, resulted from an
eventual choice by DR.. Edward
Francis, jr., who headed the
team that evaluated the field
trials last year.
When the evaluation report
became imminent last spring, the
Foundation was advised it should
be made public on the last two
Tuesdays of March or the first
two Tuesdays of April. The rea-
son for this, NIP spokesmen
said. was that Nationwide TV

day for doctors to see 1t"
AS things turned out, they
added. DR.. Francis decided April
IL would be the most convenient
Tuesday for the evaluation. Then
1t occurred to some people at
NIP headquarters at 100 Broad
way, New York City, that April
IL also would be an especially
appropriate date because Of the
Roosevelt anniversary.

sented only a small part of their
expenditure of money from

They said they paid DR.. Jonas
E. Salk approximately 1898, 900
for his expenses in developing
the vaccine since July. 1850.
That was the month the Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh bacteriology
professor first applied for a grant
Ito undertake studies with the

Cost of Trials
The Foundation shelled out
more than SIS million for the
1854 field trials which lead to
the announcement last April IL
that the vaccine was so to 80 per
cent effective. The Foundation,
officials said, also has spent or
expects to spend more millions
to cover the free-coSt vaccine
shots for several million first
and second graders. They said
this necessitated advance pur-
chase of vaccine manufactured
before April IL and was an "if-
centive" to such production.
Another sore point with the
Foundation. it developed today,
is a Supposition that April II was
picked for the announcement
date mainly because it was the
anniversary of the death of
President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Polio Rise Cancels
Shots in CHICAGO

CHICAGO. June 10 (P.-The
Board of Health yesterday can
celed IChicago's program of ad-
ministering Salk anti-polio vac
cine to first and second graders,
at least until fall.
DR.. Herman N. Bundesen,
board president, said the action
lis baseed on a suggestion made
by Dr.. Roland r. Cross, Illinois
state public health director, that
injections be discontinued in
communities where polio is prev
alent.
The move wiped out plans to
give first shots of the vaccine
to special groups of children who
missed the mass inoculations.

vaccine) did not always follow
the predicted course" Therefore,
the report said, greater de-
pendence must be placed on SEN
sitive tests for very small guam
titles of residual live virus than
would otherwise be the case"
This problem was vastly COM
plicated by the shift to mass pro-
Iduction for proposed incubation
of several million children this
spring and summer, as compared
with field trial shots for about
$50. 900, the report remarked.
Secretary Hobby commented
lat a congressional committee
hearing several weeks ago that
the magnitude of the public de-
mand for Salk vaccine could not
have been accurately anticipated.
The report today said:
THE anticipation of large de-
Imand for a mass immunization
program in the spring of 1855
led to preliminary steps which
would permit prompt licensing of
suitable manufacture if the field
trial results on safety and po-
tency were satisfactory.
"The decisiveness of the April
IL report led to the decision to
issue licenses to distribute the
vaccine. These were issued to
responsible firms which had had
prior experience with the vac
cine and were judged to possess
competent staff, adequate facili-
ties and a good record of per-
formance in the biologic field"
Possible Error in Judgment
While the PHS, in today's re-
port, did not specifically blame
itself for the later difficulties
that developed. it indicated that
more rigid testing requirements
at the beginning might have
prevented much of the trouble
The report insisted, however
that when the mass production
and distribution program started
in mid-April, mo lot was re-
leased which did not have a
clear record of performance in
the manufacturers laboratories
so far as PHS was aware ano
according to the then current
Interpretation of the minimum
requirements"
Another source of difficulty,
the report indicated. involved
questions of interpretating the
meaning of phrases in the orig
inal requirements. The stand
ards, for example, called for
consistently effective, reliable"
methods of inactivating virus.
The report mentioned this as "a
term contained in the minimum
Evening star., 1955-06-10
requirements without further

requirements without further
definition.
The report said PHS and other
authorities had to make an ex-
tremely difficult decision last
month in temporarily suspend
ing the program. The basic
policy behind that decision, it
explained, was that safety of
the vaccine must be the primary
and that evalua-
ton of the safety of the vaccine
must be based on the best scien-
tific advice"
The resultant information and
experience gained by checking
of each manufacturers records
and procedures has justified the
action and should restore public
confidence, the report declared.

Vaccine Report Cites
Speed on Mass Output

Senate already has approved such
a bill. The testing program will
be directed primarily toward
determination of the exact sig
nificance of safety and potency
tests, and modification of tests
and their Interpretation" The
report observed: when an in
dustrial product must meet
highly precise standards, whether
the product be a jet engine or a
biologic. primary dependence is
placed on tests in process rather
than tests of the final product.
A final test must be made
but it is in no sense substitute
for the many tests conducted
along the way"
6. Review of legislative au-
thority. The report stated: "The
BiologicS Control Act was passed
lin 1902 and amendments since
then have not fundamentally
ALTERED the basic act. The terms
of the act are being carefully
reviewed in the light of the in
creasing complexity and scope
of the bilogics control function.
If amendments appear advisable,
recommendations will be made
to the Congress
PHS Responsibilities
DR.. Scheele summarized the
report as being not only a re-
view Of the technical problems
involved in production, testing
and safety of the vaccine, but
also as a description of "the
responsibilities of the PHS in
control of the manufacture of
the vaccine as a biologic
product"
1t told how the vaccine first
was prepared for the 1854 field
tests as an experimental prod
uct" made by commercial manu-
facturers for the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis. The industrial firms en-
countered considerable initial
difficulty" but eventually seemed
able to turn out safe product
with good consistency"
PHS, the report recalled, issued
prospective" minimum require
mentS in May, 1854, as advisory
aids to firms that might want to
produce the vaccine and store it
for commercial use after licens-
ing by PHS. The official mini
mum requirements were issued
as soon as the success of the
field trial was reported last
April IL. Six companies were
licensed.
The program seemed to be
going along smoothly until April
rs when several paralytic polio
cases occurred among children
who had received vaccine made
by the Cutter company. At the
request of PHS, that firm imme-
diately recalled all of it's vaccine.
The PHS investigation of the
Cutter product then was extended
to all other manufacturers.
"The original concept of vac
cine prenaratior." tho report
said, "was that the process (of
killing live virus) assured a wide
margin of safety"
Course Not Practicable
But the studies, inspections
and consultations since April 26
showed, according to the report,
that "the process of inactivation
of the virus (in preparing the

tific hand in spending $25.5 mil
lion since 1888 in anti-polio vac
cine research. But it disavowed
any ballyhoo drive for the Salk
serum program.
The Foundation apparently is
disturbed by insinuations that
it contributed to a high-pressure
publicity buildup or resultant let
down in public confidence.
