eide whether the vaccine is to be

With respect to vaccine allo-
cation, this system was estab-
lished as a temporary measure,
in a period Of short supply in the
interests Of public health. 1t

tribution among the States. and
to the age groups who need it

into the bank the morning of
May 81 last year. He showed a
penciled note and two paper bags
into a teller's cage. Following
instructions on the note, the tel
Ter put the money in the bags
and Jones fled.
But he forgot his note. The
FBI used it to get on Jones' trail
and for six weeks pursued him
some times only hours behind
him-through Virginia. South
Carolina, New York, New Jersey
and North Carolina, where they
lost his trail.
They never got close to him
again until November. 10, 1855,
