WASHTNGToN-NC) - Ameri-
can aid has enabled Spain to set
tie more than 5000 new farmers on
their own land in Spain, Rafael
Cavestany, Spanish Minister of Ag-
riculture, said here.
On his first visit to this country

formula. would be used after
completion OF the free in1muni-
zation program by the National
Foundation for Infantile Pa
ralysis, and would continue until
December 81, 1856.
States Would Decide
Each State would have COM
plete discretion in deciding
whether to require any means
test or to establish a separate
program for incubation of chill
dren eligible under the grants.
Mrs Hobby declared, however.
that nothing in the program
proposed by the administration
would require or suggest that a
separate program be established
for such children. nor is there
any provision defining or requir-
ing any means test"
On a national basis the form
ula would provide sufficient Fed
eral funds to purchase vaccine
for approximately % per cent of
the uninoculated children or a
total of approximately 1885,
900 children. Mrs. Hobby said.
"Of this number. approximately
lis million would receive three

terday, DR.. Scheele said there
would be a further announce
ment. possibly by the end Of this
week. about the vaccine supplies
still awaiting clearance.
Such an announcement also
might say how soon the mass
incubation program, stalled for
more than a week. can be re-
sumed. 1t also might answer
the question whether sufficient
amounts of the vaccine will be
on hand to complete second
round shots for first and second
grade children by June 80.
Still another possibility In the
awaited announcements might
be adoption of new tests and
some revisions in the distribu-
ton method.
Conferences Continued
Conferences continued, mean
while, today at the National In
stitutes of Health. The House
Commerce Committee also went
ahead with hearings on the vac
cine situation.
The committee hearings
opened with the reading of a
statement from Health Secretary
Hobby disclosing numerous de-
tails about operation of the pro-
posed plan for providing $28
million in Federal funds to as
sure vaccinations for children
whose parents cannot afford to
pay.
The statement, read by As
sistant Secretary Resell B. Per-
kins. did not mention the Sec
ond bill before the committee.
This would give Mrs. Hobby's
department standby controls for
the vaccine program.
Opposed by Administration
The Eisenhower administra-
tion is on record as opposing
controls because it believes the
program can be handled most
effectively and most quickly un-
der voluntary arrangement.
Mrs. Hobby's statement in
cluded a chart indicating that
the District would receive $685.
938 as its share of the proposed
ALLEGATION of the $28 million.
Maryland would receive $685.
498 and Virginia $725,509.
The chart estimated that the
District would have 244,692 un-
inoculated children up to the
age of 10. Maryland would have
80l 900 and Virginia, 1,168, ,663.
Mrs. Hobby emphasized these
principal points in the fund al
location plan to States:
Each State through an appro-
pirate single agency designated
by the governor would direct the
distribution of the vaccine with
in the State.

vaccine used so far. in the school
children's incubation program
was safe, except for two lots
made by the Cutter Laboratories
in California. He explained to
the committee, as he had indi-
Gated in the statement last night,
that clearance of new vaccine
supplies are still being checked
by the NH and other agencies,
He said further announcement
regarding those supplies "can be
expected soon."
Neither DR.. Scheele nor any
of the other witnesses gave the
committee any idea as to how
soon the anti-polio vaccine pro-
gram will be resumed. The
main purpose of the committee
hearings which started today
and will continue next week,
Chairman Priest announced, is
to explore fully" why the vac
cination program became stalled
after some polio cases developed.
Cutter Firm Discussed
The Cutter firm, whose vac
cine product figured in most of
those cases, came in for long
discussion at the hearing. Rep
resentative Klein. Democrat, of
New York, said he heard from
a very reputable source" that a
California politician attempted
to bring pressure on Welfare
Secretary Hobby to tighten
things for the Cutter company.
Mr.. Klein refused to name the
politician or his informant.
The committee was told how
the Cutter company got into
difficulty with the Federal Food
and Drug Administration seven
years ago. At that time it plead
ed nolo contendere and was fined
$500 on a criminal information
concerning drug product it had
manufactured.
Witnesses added, however, that
practically all of the five other
companies which also recently
produced the Salk vaccine had
some kind of difficulty at times
with the Food and Drug Admin
istration over the years.
The officials knew of no in
stance in which a criminal in
formation had ever been filed
against any of the other five in
the past.
Presumptive Evidence
DR.. Scheele related however,
that there was strong "presump-
tive evidence" that many of the
polio cases were linked to use
of two lots of Gutter vaccine out
of nine released by that COM
pany. He was asked whether
the occurrence of Sc cases among
100000 children inoculated with

Wyeth product.
The other three new cases
two In Texas and one in West

Lilly vaccine.

ing tricks as he read q prepared
statement.
The statement said during
the past two days" But Dr..
Scheele. before he corrected it.
found himself saying "the past
two years"
Yet the past two days may
actually have been years" to
DR., Scheele-and anyone who
had his hands on the polio vac
cination program.
Clears Vaccine
DR.. Scheele, surgeon general,
did furnish-and in no uncer-
tain terms-the end to the fear
which must have settled about
many a parent in this area. DR..
Scheele cleared" the vaccine
now in the blood streams of Dis
trict and Maryland children In
other words. he said there was
no evidence vaccine given to
first and second graders here
was going to cause any polio.
He added, there was strong
"presumptive evidence" two lots
of Cutter vaccine did cause Sc
cases of the disease.
DR.. Scheele's remarks came
after a two-day meeting of top
polio experts - including DIR.
Jonas Salk, vaccine developer
at the National Institutes of
Health in Bethesda yesterday.
1t was a meeting which ruf1ed
the calm of the institutes, re-
search arm of the Public Health
Service, which usually plods
slowly ahead in a program of
pure. basic and quiet research.
1t was significant to see scien-
lists scurrying about, whisper
ing, before turning out a state
ment of what they were meeting
about. Such a medical meeting,
under ordinary circumstances.
might take years before winding
up on paper.
No Feud Now
There was a layman in the
crowd. Basil O'Connor. president
of the Polio Foundation, who
had charged on Monday that
politics was in the vaccine,
emerged from a room to say
there now was no 'feud" be-
tween the polio foundation and
the Public Health Service.
He added there has probably
been a certain amount of i'm
patience" on the foundations
part toward the Public Health
Service, but I imagine there
are people who are impatient
with the foundation"
