FTC Refuses to Drop
Insurance Churaes
BY the Associated Press

The Federal Trade Commits
sion announced it had refused
to dismiss complaints charging
two insurance companies with
false advertising of their health
and accident policies.
The two companies are Guar
antee Life Insurance Co. of
Hammond, Ind. and Life In
surance Co. of America. Inc. of
Wilmington, Del.
They had contended the trade
commission had no Jurisdiction
because they are regulated by
States. In upholding a hearing
examiners ruling which denied
the companies motions. the
commission said the question
of jurisdiction can be decided
"only upon the basis of facts
developed IN the course of the
trials"
The two companies were
among II against which the
commission brought complaint
last October.

It is understood that the
U. N. Secretary General. in
the light of this history, in
tends to invite Mr.. Truman to
be a U. N. guest Of honor at
some point in the celebrations.
He is apparently waiting until
President Eisenhower makes
up his mind whether or not
to attend so that Mr.. Truman
can be asked to come another
day.
The Presidents intentions
are being bitterly described at
U. N. headquarters as the best
kept secret of the cold war.
What seems to have hap
pened is that Secretary Dulles
and U. N. Ambassador Lodge
were initially cold to the U. N.
birthday party idea. 1t will OF
course be necessary to admit
there that Democratic Presi-
dents Roosevelt and Truman
had something to do with it.

who are the Presidents U. N.

Fall Figures to Light
Nations Polio Victory

was before inoculating the chill
dren in the field trial, and the
National Foundation made sure
that all this was done.
History of Field Trial
Some 100000 children took
part in the field trial. The Ieval-
uation following the trial showed
that the vaccine worked in most
cases and indicated that If
everyone were given it, immu-
nifty would be somewhere be-
tween go and 80 per cent.
But even with an affirmative
evaluation report, scientists
knew that after vaccination
some children would come down
with polio. They would get polio
because the disease was always
striking neutrality-suspicious.
and the vaccine would not stop
the disease in a child already
infected. They knew. moreover
that one shot of vaccine would
not be fully protective, nor in
deed likely to be protective at
all until after an interval of
two weeks while the body re-
acted to the vaccine.
We knew. therefore, that such
cases were bound to develop. We
also knew that if they were en-
blazoned in headlines, some par
ents would become confused, and
some shaken. But that was an
other gamble the National Foun-
dation was willing to take-a
gamble on the fundamental sta
bility of Americans.
Events have proved that judg-
ment sound. The last major haz-
ard in the way of polio preven-
tion-the one that has nothing
to do with viruses or vaccines
but only with a state of mind
was overcome when the great
majority of Americans refused
| to give way to rumor and con-
fusion. And I must add here that
the majority of news media are
performing a memorable service
by exercising restraint and care
in reporting the news.
When the atmosphere has
cleared, the concern of the Ma
tional Foundation will be, not
with public fears, but rather
with public overconfidence and
complacency.
Battle Not Yet Won
Polio is not yet conquered. An
immunity potential of so to 80
per cent is not 100 per cent. Re-
search must continue with the
object of raising that effective
ness. This work, and the aim of
finding way to make the i'm
munity permanent. will take
more large sums of money.
Equally important is the Ma
tional Foundations job of max
ing sure that necessary acute
and after-care is available to
those who already have been hit
by polio, and to those whom it
still will strike in the months
and years ahead.
We must never forget these
children and men and women,
At present tens of thousands are
getting assistance from the Ma
tional Foundation in meeting the
cost of care they must have to

less and less. There will be
crushing new social pressures
applied on the state and on
the social order. No one to-
day can judge the magnitude
of those pressures, or see the
end to the changes certain to
come about.
AS the pressures increase.

modern society to seek relief

"quite certain" that some vac
cine will be released this week
the first in more than two weeks
for use in the mass inocula-
ton program. The program has
come to a virtual halt since the
Government. on May 8. began a
recheck of all six manufacturers.
Meeting Tomorrow
Senator Smith serves on the
Senate Labor and Public We'll
fare Committee, which has
scheduled another meeting to-
morrow to try to decide what
to do about various proposals
for controls on the distribution
of the vaccine.
The committees seven Demo-
Gratis are all in favor of some
sort of standby controls bill,
which would authorize President
Eisenhower to regulate vaccine
distribution if he thinks such
action is necessary.
The administration has op-
posed such legislation. Assist
ant Secretary of Welfare Ros-
we'll B. Perkins, in letter to
the committee made public yes
terday. put it this way:
THE existence of standby leg
islation offers a false and mis-
leading promise of an alterna-
tive 'cure-all' which would also
tend to weaken the voluntary
program and lessen its chance
for full effectiveness"
Thus far, manufacturers have
agreed to allocate their output
as the Welfare Department re-
quests.
Opposes Delay on Aid
Chairman Hill. Democrat, of
Alabama. of the Labor Commit
tee has proposed also that the
Federal Government pay for
vaccine for all children up to
the age of 10 who want it free.
The administration has asked
for $28 million to provide vaccine
for children whose families can
not afford to pay for it.
In the face of Republican de-
mands for full hearings, Senator
Hill said yesterday he opposes
any further delay, and he added:
"The sooner we pass this legis-
lation the sooner the Federal
Government will know what
Evening star., 1955-05-30

powers it will have for any emer.
gency that might develop"
The fate of any such legisla-
tion is uncertain, although Sem
ator Hill evidently has enough
votes 60 report it out of the Sem
ate committee. Democrats in
the House who are concerned
with the problem have been
somewhat lukewarm to any legiS-

u. ). Criticized
And Defended
0nSaIkVaccine
BY the Associated Press

The Eisenhower administra-
ton was criticized and defended
again yesterday for its handling
of the anti-polio vaccination
program, apparently due to get
back into operation this week.
Representative mpson,
Democrat, of New Jersey, said
Secretary of Welfare Hobby is
directly responsible" for what
he termed "bungling" of the
program. Mr.. Thompson said it
was incredible for Mrs. Hobby to
have said, as she did in testi-
mony to a congressional COM
mittee, that nobody could have
foreseen the demand" for the
vaccine.
Senator H. Alexander Smith,
Republican. of New Jersey. on
the other hand, said he thinks
that if any mistake was made,
1T was in trying to move too
fast up to six million children
from 400,000." The latter figure
was the number of children who
were given Salk polio vaccine in
last years tests. About six mil
lion have been given shots this
year.
Senator Smith spoke on an
NBC television interview, Meet
the Press"
Blames Cutter Situation
"I think what 'goofed'-if you
want to use that expression" :"
Senator Smith said, was the
situation that developed when
the Cutter vaccine apparent
trouble came up"
That was a reference to vac
cine made by Cutter Labora-
tories of Berkeley, Calf. Surgeon
General Leonard A. Scheele saws
there is presumptive evidence of
a connection between some cases
of polio and two patches Of Cut
ter vaccine.
OF 113 cases of polio among
children who have been inocu-
lated, 50 developed in children
who were given Cutter vaccine,
all of which was withdrawn
early this month. The 1l3 post
inoculation cases compare with
928 cases of polio among all age
groups in approximately the
same period of time.
DR.. Scheele said last week that
Cutter would get back into pro-
duction under new manufacture
ing and testing standards which
apply also to the other five max
ers of the vaccine.

1t will be a great moment for
millions of Americans who are
waging the fight against polio
when actual statistics begin to
tell the story of a peoples VIC
tory over a dread disease.
That the disease will strike
again in the summer months
ahead. and in some places with
epidemic force, we must accept
as a certainty. For this we must
be prepared, Notwithstanding the
value of the Salk vaccine. Rela-
lively few of Americas 165 mil
lion citizens can be vaccinated
in time to prevent it. With our
powerful new weapon, we have
"only just begun to fight"
There is a distinct possibility,
however, that when the 1855
polio season" is over, the statis-
tical picture will show interest
ing and heartening changes as
compared with years past. re-
f1ecting the millions of vaccina-
tions that will have been given
in time to take effect.
The main difference I hope we
shall see in that picture is a re-
duction in the proportion OF polio
cases among children in the first
and second grades of school. Up
to now, polio's highest attack
rate has been in the age bracket
from five to nine years.
Whether or not all 9 million
of the country's first and second
graders will have received the
necessary two shots in time to
protect them against the summer
danger period, the number may
be large enough to affect the
proportionate incidence in this
age group, when the figures are
all in for 1855.
One Life Worth 1t All
That difference alone - for
many American children, the
difference between life and
death, between health and sick
ness-should make all the pres
ent difficulties of the vaccination
program, the controversy and
confusion of these past weeks,
seem petty in retrospect. I would
say this if but one child were
saved from lifelong crippling. ]
can say it now with the assur-
ance that, whatever the attack OF
polio may be this year. at least
some of our children will be pro-
tected.
Public understanding will help
increase the size of this total. II

truth about the Salk vaccine
