The announcement was made County health officer, conferred with state health officials by telephone early Dr. Stewart s statement said: . "On the basts of the many conflicting reports' and suggestions unofficially available to this office, a decision has been made to postpone the Salk Im munization program for first and second grade chil dren in Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties. At soon as the present confusion is cleared up, efforts will be made to follow through with whatever type of program will best serve the public interest in our area. "The evidence regarding the safety of the Parke, Davis and Co. vaceine, which is slated for uie in the Tri-County area, is outstanding and there have been no cases of polio develop among more than one million children receiving this Parke, Davis material. However, parents rightly feel insecurity when so many varying and disturbing statements have been made public about the entire program, and fairness to all suggests postponement as being the most appropriate step at this time." By MICHAEL J. O'NEILL United Press Staff Cojrrapondent WASHINGTON (UP) The Pub lic Health Service today recom mended a halt in the nation's polio vaccinations program pending an announcement tomorrow on wheth er Salk shots should undergo furth er safety tests. Dr. Leonard A. Scheele, U. 3. surgeon general, made the an nouncement at 4 a.m. EDT, after a two-day, round-the-clock study of the vaccine by America s top polio experts. Some states Immediately an nounced they are going ahead with their program despite the recom mendation, j fThey included Michigan, Illinois and New Mexico. ' ' Michigan's health commissioner said "We believe In the vaccine program" and that the vaccine used in this state is "safe and ef fective." The recommendation by Surgeon General Leonard A. Scheele came after a group of the nation's fore most polio experts completed an urgent two-day inquiry into the manufacture and testing of the vaccine. The inquiry was ordered after the government confirmed that 33 children Inoculated with' vaccine produced by the Cutter Laborato ries of Berkeley, Calif., had fullen 111 with polio. Dr. Scheele did not announce the findings of the group of scientists, which Included Dr. Jonas Salk, de veloper of the vaccine. He said he would do that Sunday. . He said it would be necessary first "to evaluate the recommen dations of the technical group and other information." , , , Announcement Due Sunday Pending the Sunday announce ment, Dr. . Scheele recommended "that states and municipalities postpone their vaccination pro grams, ' .--'.'.' The group of- scientists making the study for the U.S. ' Public Health Service Included besides Dr. Salk, Dr. Thomas Francis Jr. of the University of Michigan School of Public Health, who eval uated results of last year's poll: tests; Dr. David Bodian of Johns Hopkins University School of Hy giene and Public Health; Dr. John Enders, Harvard University Medi cal School; Dr. Howard Shaugh- nessy, of the Illinois Department of Health, and Dr. Joseph Smadel of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. ' The temporary postponement ol the vaccination programs came on the heels of an announcement Fri day that the government would not approve the release of any new batches of the vaccine pending the outcome of the polio experts' study. Slow-Down Expected The group of scientists worked for a sneedy decision because the standstill in approving new vnc cine will cause some slowdown In the vaccination program at a time when the summer polio peak Is faht approaching. Scheele told Congress Friday that because of delays in approv ing new vaccine, he now expects only enough by June 1 to provide two shots each for 11 million to 12 million children. He said there might have been enoueh for al most 16 million "if things had gone along as one honed a week atro." He estimated between 4 million and 6 million children have now received their first Rhot. Scheele wn joined by Salk and the Health. Education and Welfare I Department in emnhaslzlng that; the government decision to halt ap vaccination program set after Dr. J. H. Stewart, Tri- this afternoon. proval of all newly-manufactured vaccine does not' mean the gov ernment has withdrawn Its support of the vaccination program. Manufacturers will continue to make the vaccine. But it will be held in storage until the govern ment decides whether new testing procedures are needed. Exprta To Decide Scheele said Friday the polio ex perts could decide that current lesung pruixuurcH arc adequate, or that new standards should be used by manufacturers or that the government Itself should take over all testing rather than relying pri marily on tests by manufacturers. In the past,, the government has tested only sample lots of the vaccine. - ; .. ' , ....... ' '. v-' PORTLAND (UP) There will be no mass polio inoculations In Portland or Multnomah county Monday, regardless of action taken tonight at a regularly sched uled meeting . of the state medical society.. Dr. F. Sydney Hansen, count) health officer, and Dr. William Zavin, acting city health officer, both announced the indefinite post ponement of use of the Salk vac cine. - Dr. Zavin said the only situation that would cause him to rescond tils order for a delay in Portland schools would be an overruling from Dr. Thomas Meador who, is out of the city. Dr. Samuel Osgood, state epi demiologist, said yesterday he had recommended against continuation of the Inoculation program but that he would make the final announce-' ment after tonight's meeting of the state society. The Multnomah county medical society last night recommended A delay In line with a similar rec ommendation from the federal public health service. v One of ' the three contingent meetings was held yesterday eve- Medical Society, after the meet ing, announced it had voted unan imously against the Inauguration of such a program at the present time "in view of an Inadequate supply of sufficiently tested vac cine." The county program was subsequently postponed. The State Medical Society and the State Board of Health were to further consider the problem at meetings today. Dr. Osgood said the "opposition" to the Salk program was shown by a 9 to 5 vote In favor of the program handed down yesterday at a meeting of the state medical society. He said the five negative votes consisted "considerable op- oosltlon where none had existed before." Much of the lack of confidence In the program stemmed from an announcement by Surgeon Gen. onard Scheele yesterday halting the further release of Salk sup- nllnn imtil n mpetinff Of Scientists at Washington, D. C. was con cluded. The state epidemiologist said the announcement probably meant that Oregon would not be able to complete Its two-shot program for first and second graders before the end of the school year, '' He said more than sufficient supplies of vaccme were on hand to provide the first Inoculation to the 73.000 students participating. But practically no vaccine was available for the second shot, he said, and there was no assurance from the National Polio Founda tion when It would arrive. Eniueh vaccine for more than 80 000 Inoculations was distributed around life state by planes and trucks last Sunday.
