MEDFORD O CENTRAL POINT Authorities Plan Immediate Start Of Inoculations By UNITED PRESS Tons of Salk anti-polio vac cine were rushed to points throughout the country today and public health authorities planned to start inoculating 57, 000,000 American youngsters al most immediately. Crates of the cherry red vac cine left pharmaceutical houses by air and truck as the biggest mass assault on disease in his tory got underway. Many states and communities planned to start administering the shots to first and second graders as soon as the vaccine arrived. In parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and New Mexico, the deadline was Friday. San Diego, Calif., planned to start Saturday and Rock Island, 111., children will roll up their sleeves for the first of their shots Sunday. Millions of children in other parts of the nation will accom pany their grateful, happy par ents to distribution centers Mon day. Other states planned to start a little later and space the shots through the spring. 'Shot' Schedules Drawn The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, which or- d e r e d the mass inoculations, hoped that 57,000,000 children would receive free vaccinations with their parents' consent be fore the end of summer. The blitz attack against the crippling disease may be speed ed up by Dr. Jonas E. Salk's an nouncement that two shots, backed up by a booster seven months later, would be suffi cient. The polio foundation and health authorities throughout the nation had based their plans on three shots, spaced a week apart. - Most health officials said they would go ahead with plans for the three shot program unless they get a change in orders from the polio foundation. But Pennsylvania officials said their entire planning would be revised on the basis of the Salk statement. Authorities in Pennsylvania,, Texas, and Okla homa said a two-shot program would boost the number of chil dren eligible for immediate in oculations by the hundreds of thousands. Shipments on Way Pharmaceutical houses began shipping out tons of the vaccine within hours after it was pro nounced a success Tuesday. Cutter Laboratories in Berke ley, Calif., moved out two tons of vaccine by plane and truck and at Detroit, Mich., Parke Davis & Co. flew supplies to 25 points for use in commercial channels. It also planned to put 10,000 doses on sale in Detroit today. At Indianapolis, Ind., two of the largest vaccine - producing houses had huge amounts of it bottled, packaged, and waiting on warehouse "skids" for a go ahead signal from the National Institute of Health. Many states were poised to speed the vaccine throughout the countryside by dramatic air and highway relays. Some Hitches Develop Ohio was geared to start inoc ulating 440,540 first and second graders within 12 to 24 hours after the vaccine arrives in the state. Hundreds of doctors and regis tered nurses stood ready to be gin the stupendous task of in oculating the millions of chil dren throughout the country. Some hitches developed, how ever. In Maryland's Montgomery county, 4,000 parents flatly re fused to let their youngsters re ceive the vaccine. Two counties in Indiana objected that the plan smacked of socialized medicine. The same objections to mass inoculations had arisen in Chi cago, but the city's Medical so ciety called them off at a last minute meeting Tuesday night. The decision cleared the way to start inoculations of 135,000 Chicago first and second graders within a week. In New York City, 281,000 youngsters will " start getting their arms pricked April 25. Los Angeles will start inoculations of 82,514 children Monday. One Seaman Killed As Vessels Collide Norfolk, Va.-4U.PJ Two ships collided in a dense fog bank off the North Carolina coast early today, killing one seaman and leaving one vessel disabled. The disabled, vessel, the 320 foot Ciudad de' Bogota, radioed a rescue ship late this morning that she was taking water and the situation was "worse." The other ship, the 323-foot cabin motorship Bahia de Matan zas, was standing by. Rescue vessels groped through a 700 foot deep fog bank toward the Bogota. . . Oregon Planning To Start Mass Polio Inoculations Next Monday Portland (U.R) The State Board of Health last night re vealed its plans for mass inoc ulation starting Monday of a possible 84,350 Oregon children with the Salk anti-polio vaccine. Dr. Harold Erickson, state health officer, said he expects the vaccine to be flown to Port land from headquarters of the National Foundation for Infan tile Paralysis "in a day or two." County health departments within 50 miles of Portland will be asked to pick up the vaccine by truck. This will include Mult nomah, Clackamas, Yamhill, Col umbia, Washington and Marion counties. Marion county officials will pick up vaccine for Linn and Polk counties. All other Oregon counties will receive their shipments by air. Areas not served by commercial carriers will receive air ship ment from the Civil Air Patrol. Present plans call for three planes to be ready at Portland airport at 8 a.m. Saturday. One will fly the newly-proved vac cine to Gold Beach, one to New-. port and Tillamook and a third will take off for Hood River, The Dalles, Condon, Fossil, John Range Conditions Poorest on Record Portland (U.R) Range con ditions in Washington, Idaho and eastern Oregon were the poor est on record for April 1 because of last winter's "drought" con ditions, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The department's western range and livestock report said cold weather and lack of' mois ture resulted in the lowest range feeding conditions in 33 years of record in the three states. Conditions were between 10 and 13 per cent below the 10 year average. Oregon cattle and sheep were kept in good condition through the winter by heavy supplemen tal feeding. Grass growth in western Ore gon was also held below normal by cold weather. Day, Lexington and Lakeview. At Lakeview, vaccine for Burns will be placed aboard an other. CAP aircraft. Dr. Erickson said all first and second graders in public, pri vate or parochial schools would be eligible for the shots which have proved 80 to 90 per cent effective . against the dread dis ease. He estimated that as high as 95 per cent of the 84,350 eligible children would participate in the program. In addition, all chil dren who were unvaccinated while acting as "controls" in the 1954 tests could be vaccinated this time if their parents wished. Dr. Erickson said the state board's policy as to the number of shots will be governed by the policy of the National Founda tion for Infantile Paralysis. Educational figures show that an average American woman gets 8.5 years of schooling as compared with the average American man who receives 8.3 years in school, according to re cent statistics.
