Dr. Cutter Staking Children By WILEY MALONEY United Press Staff Cerrespoadeat BERKELEY, Calif. (UP) Dr. Robert K. Cutter has staked the lives of his employes' children on Hifain-ifv nt hi 51t.vcar.old laboratories' production of Salk polk) vaccine. The 629 employes in the Cutter Laboratories here have shared this faith by having 465 ! of the children inoculated with the vac cine. , Cutter, a medical doctor, son of the founder of the firm, one : of the largest of its kind in the na tion, became president of the or ganization in 1933 following the death of Jiis father. It is not strange that his em ployes share "Dr. Bob's" faith in their own work. This is . not the first time they have taken advan tage of advances made in science applied at the Cutter Laboratories. It is company policy always to give employes first chances on such gains. Cutter Confident Although the Salk polio vacciie produced by them here has been withdrawn from public use for double test in 2. Dr. Bob remains rock-fast in the belief that the. ul timate determination will show that there has been no "careless ness or incompetence" on the part of his polio vaccine production team. . "We found that whatever we might say in our defense was be ing taken as whitewash. We decid ed not to get into a 'tis-tain't argu ment We know that the men and women in our polio department axe exceptionally well qualified folks of exceptional integrity. They have put out vaccine that passed all government tests and our , own more stringent tests. They and their children have been vaccin ated with this vaccine." He said that because only the U.S. Public Health Service had all the information from the field, and has made inspections of the Cutter plants and others, it should make the "ultimate" determina tion of the current problem. He concealed any chagrin that might have been expressed because the vaccine produced by a rival firm now is being released in Cutter's )inm ctatA Palifnmia I "We sincerely hope,, he said, "that this determination will be that neither our vaccine nor the vaccine of any manufacturer has been responsible for poliomyelitis which has ' occurred following in jections. If. however, the deter mination should be that some cases were due to our vaccine, it will not be because of carelessness or incompetence. That I would bank my bottom dollar on. Vaccine Experiments Stich assurance must come na- lui any . uc n , uic tuuiyaujr waa founded a year before. His father, then a young pharmacist, started the business by dabbling as a hob by !wffh tfc mysteries of fcldlogi-' cals in the back room of a small Fresno drug store. The elder Cut ter and a friend, C. M. Twining, experimented with producing a vaccine to combat blackleg, a dreaded cattle, disease. They also worked on a diphtheria antitoxin that could be made inexpensively enough for general use. Most of such antitoxin, then, came from France. A blackleg epidemic at Fresno and. use of Cutter vaccine to help stem the outbreak turned the Dacxroom iao into an inaustry. A new sign was hung on the drug store "Cuter Analytical Labora tory." That was in 1897. A bath tub, divided into four sections, be came the first "bam" for small laboratory animals. Fresno, how ever, was too warm in summer for the experimental beasts. The com pany moved to a bare lot in Berk eley, across San Francisco Bay from the Golden Gate. The 1906 San Francisco earth quake and fire gave the laboratory a second opportunity to ward off threat of epidemic. Cutter was the only manufacturer of smallpox and diphtheria vaccines west, of the Mississippi. Business Grows The business grew.

Federal officials said Arcardi borrowed about $5000, leaving a personal note to cover the loans. "Much of the proceeds," officials said, were used to help the com munity Boy Scout program. When the loans which "were made without bank officers" knowledge were dis covered, Acardi made restitution immediately, the government said. "It's a long story," Acardi said. Tve worked with the youngsters since 1941 and tried to expand the Boy Scout program. We organ ized summer trips for the boys, and each trip put me in a deeper hole man I realized." r Attorney Arthur R. Wodnodler, who represented Acardi, and is also counsel for the Troy bank, told the court that "the bank had no desire to prosecute Acardi for the false entries.
