Polio Vaccine of
One Manufactures
May Be Faulty
BY FRANK CAREY
Associated Press Science Reporte,

WASHINGTON, R-Public
health authorities expressed anew
yesterday their confidence in the
Salk polio vaccine, even as they
checked the possibility that some
patches from one of six makers
may have been faulty.
Intensive tests were ordered
after it was reported eight chill
dren had been stricken by polio
one fatally-within week of
receiving their first polio shots.
Four other suspected cases Of the
disease were reported.
In each case, the vaccine used
was manufactured by the Cutter
Laboratories of Berkley, Calf,
which said more than 100000
doses Of its product had been
issued.
AS a precautionary measure"
all further use of Cutter vaccine
was ordered halted Immediately,
LCOIS, anu Vic
program was stopped in most Of
the West Coast areas where it
was supplied for free use in the
schools.
But Surgeon Keneral Leonard
Scheele of the Public Health Ser
vice called for continuance of the
program in other areas of the
country, where vaccine supplied
by five other drug firms has been
used without reported incident.
1--WE believe that the immuni-
cation program against poliomye-
litis should continue" he said in
a statement, land l urge that
parents and children scheduled to
take part in the vaccination pro-
gram continue to follow their
plans"
He said his own 7-year-old son
will receive his first shot as
scheduled early next month.

Astronomy Notes
- ArHr xrNr vyrpCaN

The most recently discovered
planet is Pluto. 1t is now moving
slowly in the constellation called
Cancer. Cancer lies midway be-
tween the Twin Stars" called
Gemini and Leo the Lion"
This region of the sky is now
visible in the southwestern heav-
ems soon after sunset.
Pluto was discovered March
IS, 1880 at the Lowell Observa-
tory. At the time it was discov-
cred it was located in the con-
stellation of Gemini Twenty five
years have now elapsed since the
discovery and since it takes 248
years for Pluto to 60 around the
sun it has only moved eastward
into the next constellation, called
Cancer.
It's slow motion relative to
neighboring stars proved to the
world that it was a planet Only
by looking through a 36-inch tel
escope is it possible to see this
planet. It's movement was detect
ed by a series Of photographs
taken in January Of the year it
was discovered.
The name Of Pluto given to the
most recently discovered planet
is interesting. The first two let
tiers of the planets name are,
appropriately, the initials of Per
cival Lowell, the first astronomer
to initiate a search for this planet.
The search lasted for a quarter
of a century.
Small departures in the motion
Of Uranus from the calculated
orbit suggested the presence of
planet beyond Neptune. From
these departures, Lowell calcu-
lated the orbit of the planet.
When it was discovered, the posi-
ton and motion agreed with the
calculated orbit.
Pluto has a yellowish hue rath-
er than the blue-green color of its
neighbors. The planet is too small
to show a disk. It's mass is four
fifths that of the earth.
The orbit Of Pluto is more &c
centric and more inclined than
that Of any Of the other principal
planets.
