cleared--a total of $4,000 cc's
lis being held up to await more
data from the health service
team in the field. In Detroit,
Parke. Davis said this one lot
was not cleared because the
| team didn't have time to review
all the tests in connection with
! it.
The company said all addi-
tional information on this lot
now has been sent to Washing

least four more suspected cases
were being studied by the health

No post-inoculation cases have
been reported among children

vaccine.
In a new complication, the
health service said it is looking
into seven reported cases of per-
sons who are said to have de-
veloped polio after associating
with members of their families
who had been inoculated with
Salk vaccine. Those vacclnated
had not contracted polio.
Furthermore, Idaho State
Health Director L. J. Peterson

hind a proposal. made earlier in
the week. to give the Eisenhower

Paul M. Butler today accused the
Eisenhower administration of
outstanding" the Salk polio
vaccine situation.
, Mr.. Butler spoke of heart
breaking confusion" and said "a
thorough Government inspection

avoided this confusion.
The chairman struck out at
the administration on this and
other counts in a speech pre-
pared for a meeting of the Fed
Grated Democratic Women of
Ohio.
He said United States Surg
Gen. Leonard A. Scheele, head
of the Public Health Serv-

in the vaccine and no one will
quarrel with his recommends

why the Government didn't take
the leadership in the beginning

that has occurred
The Government yesterday

-stration Meeting on Tuesday, May
3, in the Wesley Methodist Church,
in Dover
An open house program is a
favorite way to tell others about
club activities. Eleven of Kent
County's "a clubs are planning
these programs-some at the regu-
lar club meeting and some at a
special meeting. Members are in
viting their friends and neighbors
ito attend.
Three clubs are displaying in
store windows things that they have
learned through the Home Demon
stration Program.
Special community projects are
being held by several clubs.
One good way to review the ae-
tivities of club is to write his
tory. Several clubs in the county
are doing this.
Ten clubs are attending local
church as a group. One club in
vited three others to attend with
it.
Three special radio programs are
being presented during the week
on both WIDOW and WKSB. The
Smyrna, Merrymakers, and Cow
gills clubs each developed a pro-
gram which was recorded.
If you are not club member,
and would like to know more
about the Home Demonstration
program, ask a member of the
club in your neighborhood. She will
be happy to talk to you.

Leather Gloves

AP kewsfeufures

Leather gloves in all colors,
which can be tossed into the wash
ing machine, are the big news of
the year in cleveland.
The gloves come in nine colors
and a number of styles, and will be
available in stores throughout the
country as soon as the manufac-
turers can turn them out in suffici-
ent quantity-probably in mid
summer.
Although washable leather gloves
have been on the market for years,
they usually required great care in
washing-and gloves in colors such
as red, navy and the pastels usual
~ had TO be dry-cleaned.
Now, after years of research, tan
ners have developed a process
which makes leather in high colors
as washable as dungarees. After
being put through the washing ma
chine with a regular washday de-
tergent, they come out as soft and
bright as new, requiring no special
care.
This also means that mems lea

Governor Boggs said he was par
ticularly proud of the strides made
by his own committee and compli
mented a panel of industrialists or
ganized by Mr.. Turner. These As
men, mostly from the field of in
dustry take turns in sitting as an
advisory panel to interview handi-
capped people.
Through their experience in per-
sonnet work" Governor Boggs said,
these men can and do make recon-
mendation that are most helpful in
evaluating case histories.
II feel that through this direct
contact, we in Delaware have crea-
ted a new awareness to industry
generally that there is great value
in training the handicapped, and /
look forward to increased employ
ment for these people as continuing
programs of education, research and
rehabilitation arc developed"
Governor Boggs paid a special
tribute to DR.. Francis ]. Cummings,
director of the State Commission
for the Blind. ''Dr. Cummings and
his staff have wonderfully planned
program. They have given long and
excellent service to Delaware and
we are thankful that we have Dr.
Cummings as consultant."
Governor Boggs closed his re-
marks by saying that while we
sincerely hope that no such neces-
sity will arise, all of us will feel
that we are better prepared for
any national emergency when we
know that we have these trained
handicapped people as a reserve to
carry on production in any time
of serious need"
The conference also heard Earl
Bunting, vice chairman of the
Presidents Committee in an adj
dress urging industry to cooperate
with the handicapped and Perry T.
Hawlins, field representative of
Washington, lead a discussion of
local and regional representatives.
