and effectiveness.
We will continuously review
the progress Of the total national

vaccine. A supplemental report
will be submitted to you on or
about July /. In the event there
should be any situation, either
prior to or at that time, which
would warrant requesting addi-

Urged in House
By the Associated Press

Key members Of the House
Merchant Marine Committee to-
day launched a drive to build
q second atomic merchant ship

Chairman Bonner, Democrat.
Of North Carolina, said the ship
proposed by Mr.. Eisenhower to
sail around the world as an ex-
hibit Of peaceful atomic energy
uses would be some kind of an
international sideshow, carni-
val or Mississippi river show

Mr.. Bonner said the commit
tee is more interested in an ex-
perimental ship which would

velop atomic vessels that would
be economically feasible and

He said he was introducing q

Immediately by Representative

sentative Cederberg. Republican,

Mr.. Bonner announced his
proposal after DR.. w. Kenneth

of developing atomic power

DR.. Davis said the power

ly as possible"
Her report pointed out that
all the six companies manufac-
turing the Salk vaccine have
agreed to dedicate their total
output to the voluntary alloca-
ton program. She said no vac
cine has been shipped in COM
merchial channels since April 81.
At first, she said, it was
thought enough vaccine could be
produced to permit some general
sale in addition to fulfilling the
polio foundation contracts.
Some Went on Sale
Approximately 650,000 cubic
cinemeters of the vaccine was
distributed between April 13 and
April 81 by three companies for
general sale. "This was the
basis" she added, "for reports Of
sale Of vaccine or administration
by physicians to their private
patients.
The Hobby report said pro-
duction Of the vaccine cannot
be speeded up because the tech
nical production problems are
among the most complete in
the field Of large-scale biologic
preparations. 1t said it would
take from nine to IL months for
other manufacturers to toolup
and acquire know-how for pro-
duction of the vaccine.
The. latest production esti-
mates mentioned in the report
are that there will be enough
vaccine by July / to inoculate
all children in the 5-to-9 age
group. Since those estimates
were made on May there has
been a delay for further testing
and Mrs. Hobby reported no at
tempt to revise the estimates.
But, she said. "in any event
it appears that the period OF
greatest shortage would fall be-
tween now and August l."
But even under the May 8 es-
Inmates not all children from
1-to-9 years old could be vac
cinated by August /. Only about
"a per cent Of that group could
be inoculated If the May 8 pro-
duction estimates are fulfilled.
Penalties Provided
The report pointed out that
the Federal Food, Drug and Cos
metic Act provides penalties up
to a $1,000 fine and one year

Basis of ALLEGATION
It viii be allocated to the
States on the basis Of their pop
ulation Of children in the five to
nine age group until all children
Of those ages have been vac
cinated.
State agencies to be desig-
mated by the governors will di-
rect distribution Of the vaccine
within the States. It will be up
to them to notify Mrs. Hobby
how much of their vaccine allo-
cations should be shipped to
public agencies and how much
through normal drug distribu-
ton channels.
Congress will be asked to ap-
propriate Federal funds "suffi-
cient to pay the cost Of vaccine
for children through age 10 in
low-income families"
These funds would be used,
after the foundations free i'm
munization program has been
completed, until December 81,
1856, for supplying vaccine to
the States on assurance by the
States "that no child within the
priority age groups would be
denied vaccinations by reason
Of the cost"
Mr.. Hagerty said the amount
involved was approximately $28
million.
FUN Records Required
The program calls for medical
organizations to "take all ap-
propriate steps" to assure that
physicians give the Salk shots
only to children within the
priority age groups. and keep
full records.
One recommendation calls for
the President to designate a
special committee to further
study methods for assisting
other nations Of the world in
regard to vaccine supply.
The report emphasized that
the most effective and equitable
distribution of the vaccine can
be accomplished through vol
untary cooperation, without
new Federal controls, because
only such a plan '"can be mobi-
lized quickly enough to be eff
fective during a brief period of
