Vaccine Situation Shows
Signs Of Speeding Up

mittee was a revision of q
measure sponsored by Commit
tee Chairman Hill. Democrat of
Alabama, favoring free vaccina-
ton for all children under 20.
Senator Hill said the bill ap-
by the committee would
require no matching funds by
States. He explained that IL
would allow each State to de-
eide whether to seek funds fer
all youngsters or only those
whose parents, otherwise, could
not afford to pay. The Hill
measure. according to unofficial
estimates. would have required
about $3.50 million.
Meanwhile. House Commerce
Committee c n hartman Priest,
Democrat of Tennessee, pre-
dicted that the House would
approve a bill approved unani-
mously by his committee. This
would authorize about s38
million in Federal grants
to States to aid in inocu-
lations. Republicans and DEM
ocrats on the full committee said
they knew of no appreciable
opposition to the bill.
In view of diffarepooS ip %ho
Senate and House bills. and the
wait-and-see stand of the House
Appropriations Committee, some
members said the final figure
probably would be worked out
in a Senate-House conference
They added that they believed
chances of adoption of some sort
Iof financing measure have i'm
proved considerably within the
last week.

The polio vaccine situation
showed signs today Of a speed-up
on the legislative as well as
scientific production fronts.
Clearance Of further and
progressively larger lots of the
Salk serum at more frequent
intervals was indicated as a
Ifollow-up to the release of 720.-
600 units late yesterday by the
Public Health Service.
AS in the case of 300 900 units
released last Friday-the first
since June 6-this action dealt
with vaccine that was in process
lof manufacture when the stricter
testing requirements were estab-
llished May 26.
Since that date a total of
p ,558, 900 units has been cleared
on recommendation of a special
advisory committee. All of this
goes to the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis toward
completion of its mass inocula-
ton of first and second grade
school children. Several million
additional unitS are expected to
be cleared within the next
month, officials indicated.
Produced by Lilly
The 100000 cleared yesterday
were produced by the Eli Lilly
Co. of Indianapolis. Lilly said
299, 700 &C. would be flown to
Austin, Tex, today. The 100000
released last Friday were made
by the Wyeth Laboratories OF
Marietta, Pa, which has sup
piled most of the vaccine used
in the Washington area since
mid-April.
This promised stepping up In
the clearance pace was expected
to gain support for congressional
action on some type of financing
measure before adjournment o1
the current session.
Senate and House seemed
likely today to act fairly soon or

size of suggested appropriations

Canadian Rockies.
Climbing without a guide and
equipped with only an inch-thick
Manila rope and ice axes, the
youths were within 1000 feet
of the peak when the snow slide
swept them 1000 feet down the
mountain.
y One was killed instantly The
others died of injuries and ex-
posure in the hail and freezing
rain that lashed the mountain
before rescue parties reached
them the next day.

ing experience. The others dur
ing their trip had made one

Herb Stone. publisher Of Yacht

with this writer the report that
s o N influential yachtsmen
thought the biennial Newport
Annapolis race was through.
Typically. Stone said that wasn't
good and that he believed Chesa-
peake Bay was too important a
yachting area to let the event
die.
II was this sort of thing that
made Herb one of the most re-
spected and beloved figures In

age the Potomac River Sailing
Association in becoming . part
of the Presidents Cup Regatta
program with its sailing events.
And along with the late DR.. John
Eiman Of Philadelphia. he
brought the Comet Glass one
design into national prominence.
Stone was one of the founders
In 1872 Of the Cruising Club Of
America and helped launch the
biennial races to Bermuda which
have become classics In ocean
racing. He made the magazine
one Of the best Of Its kind in
the world.
At 81, sitting at his favorite

for the principles of popular sovereignty and
equality which it signified
Yet many of those who take for themselves the
name American are the very ones who most oppose
the basic principles of the Declaration of Independ
ence.
Patriotism is wonderful thing, but it is also
true as DR.. Johnston remarked long ago that "pa-
triotism is the last refuge of scoundrel" History
abounds with illustrations of the principle. Take
the so-called 'Know Nothing" movement of the
fiftes of the last century It probably the
vilest, the most corrupt political movement that
this country has ever seen, but what did it call
itself? The name which it took to itself was the
American Party.
It used to be said Broadway that if the
show is bad get the chorus out and wave the flag.
That is one way of getting applause, but it is a
cheap way
These so-called patriots will often quote to you
a statement which they attribute to Washington
in particularly critical time. "Place no one but
Americans on guard tonight"
Washington had too much integrity, too much
sense, to make any such statement. How could he
have said it? Would he bar his aide, Alexander
Hamilton from standing guard? Hamilton was OF
foreign birth Or would he bar Thomas Paine who
had been in the country little more than year?
