One Adele died almost as soon

The remaining Adele is still

arctic foes, took his daughter
Wendy, 7. to see it yesterday.
Maj. Wiener, 80, of 1910 Fitz-

us. Announces
SaIk Vaccine
Research Plan
Improvement Sought,
Release of 300, 900
Shots Is Disclosed
By the Associated Press

The Government announced
today a broad new research pro-
gram is being set up aimed at
improving the Salk polio vaccine
and the production and testing
methods now employed.
simultaneously it gave a boost
to the present dribbling vaccina-
ton program by releasing ap-
proximately 100000 shots of vac
cine tested under new standards
adopted seven weeks ago. It was
the first vaccine to be released
for use since June 6.
In Washington Health Direc-
tor Daniel L. Seckinger said
through a spokesman that he
would discuss the vaccine re-
lease with members of the Tech
nical Advisory Committee on
Poliomyelitis, which recon-
mended last month that nothing
further be done on the school
polio vaccination program here
until September.
The committee noted, among
other things, that the available
ity of vaccine was uncertain. DR..
Seckinger said at the time that
If the situation changed materi-
ally. he would call the committee
together. He noted today, how
ever, that 100000 shots did not
appear to be great quantity for
general distribution.
Cooperative Program
Surg. Gen. Leonard Scheele
said the planned research
program will be cooperative
one among the Government, uni
versities and industry. He pre-
dicted:
while largely developmental
in character, with short-term OBJ
jectives, it will undoubtedly un-
cover new scientific information
that will aid in the long-range
development of all viral vaccine. y
The Health Service said allo-
cation of the 100000 shots OF
vaccine released today will be up
to the National Foundation fo1
Infantile Paralysis.
The vaccine was produced by
the Wyeth Laboratories of Mari
eta, Pa.
A Health Service spokesman
said the vaccine had been in
process when revised production
standards were laid down on
May 26. The vaccine was re-
tested under the new standards
Scientists to Visit Plants
The Health Service said the re-
lease brings to 1,837,000 cubic
centimeters the total amount of
vaccine made available for use
since the adoption of the re-
vised standards. Prior to that
date. approximately 9 million
CC's had been made available
since the beginning of the vac
cination program on April IL.
Each vaccination shot requires
one &C of vaccine.
The Health Service also an
rounced it has assigned scien-
tist to the plants of each of the
six vaccine manufacturers who
will visit the plants frequently
in order to facilitate more rapid
exchange of information be-
tween scientists of the pharma-
ceutical industry and the Feder-
al Government"
"The statement added:
This will insure that al
knowledge concerning vaccine
production and consistency OF
test results will be available tt
the interested groups.
THE closer liaison provided by
this activity is also expected tc
strengthen the expanded re.
search program of the Division
Of Biologics Standards. The sci
entists will make their first trip.
