Public Pressure
Probably Brought
Short Cut Attempt
Washington (U.R) President
Eisenhower conceded today that
under great public pressure the
government probably released
the Salk polio vaccine for dis
tribution too quickly.
He told a news conference
that under this pressure the
scientists in charge of develop
ment of the vaccine probably
tried, as he put it, to take a little
bit of a short cut.
However, Mr. Eisenhower said
he believes implicitly that with
in a measurable time the Salk
vaccine will eliminate infantile
paralysis. He reiterated hit faith
in its effectiveness against crip
pling polio.
He declined to analyze or
comment to any great degree on
the decision of the ' Public
Health Service last week end to
embargo further shipments of
the vaccine pending a detailed
recheck of all lots of the medi
cine being made by drug firms.
This check got underway to
day at the Parke-Davis Labora
tories in Detroit.
The health service sent a
team of scientists to the Parke
Davis Laboratories at Detroit to
inspect its vaccine production
and safety procedures. Experts
will visit other manufacturers
later.
Three polio cases were re
ported Tuesday In Pennsylvania.
They were the first among chil
dren inoculated with vaccine
produced by the Wyeth Labora
tories of Philadelphia. A state
health official said, however, the
cases "could fit in with the nor
mal incidence and not be due to
the vaccine."
Idaho Tuesday reported the
third death in the state among
15 children who have contracted
polio after receiving Salk shots.
One has died in Louisiana and
one In Hawaii.
The House Banking Commit
tee, meanwhile, postponed ques
tioning of the Public Health
Service's chief. Dr. Leonard A.
Scheele, on delays in the vaccin
ation program. Scheele had been
scheduled to appear today, but
was busy helping prepare a re
port to the President on distrib
ution of the vaccine. ,
The Senate Labor and Publie
Welfare Committee announced
that it will discuss this subject
next , Monday with Scheele's
boss, Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby,
secretary of health, education
and welfare.
Mrs. Hobby and her aides
were completing a report to
President Eisenhower on volun
tary allocations of polio supplies
to each state. The report pos
sibly may be sent to the White
House today, an informed
source said.
The double-check on polio
vaccine stocks was ordered by
Scheele last Sunday when he
recommended a further delay in
all inoculations. At that, time he
expressed the hope that some
supplies could be cleared for use
by the end of this week.
Scheele said .there . has been
"absolutely no evidence to show
any doubt in the vaccine . . . it
is a wonderful vaccine." He said
the number of children who
came down with polio after be
ing vaccinated is not unusual in
comparison with preliminary
tests in 1954.
Organized Prayers Answered by Valuable Rainfall in Southwest
Bv UNITED PRESS
The oreanized prayers" of
drouth-stricken Texans and Okla-
homans were answered today
with millioniollar rains.
The downpours were laced
with winds and storms which
were blamed for at least six
deaths in Texas alone. But they
seemed like an answer from hea
ven to dust-plagued farmers.
Meanwhile a May cold wave
threatened the northern Mid
west with frost and moved in on
90-degree temperatures in the
Southeast
The townspeople of Lampases,
Tex., and Hobart, Okla., had or
ganized "prayers for rain" and
mass demonstrations of faith
that rains would come in hopes
of ending weeks of crop-baking
drought.
Their prayers were answered.
The rains came to Lampasas
Tuesday after' radio station
XCYL organized its "prayers for
rain" day. All regular commer
cial programs had been cancel
led while ministers and laymen
took turns praying.
A steady rain began falling at
noon. In Lampases there was .55
of an inch by late Tuesday night.
As much as an inch and a half
pelted the surrounding county
and 2.75 inches swelled the
nearby Colorado river.
Prayers of thanks were broad
cast over the radio station.
At Hobart, plagued by a three
year drought, upwards of 1,000
persons wore raincoats and car
ried umbrellas under cloudless
skies last Saturday to demon
strate their faith that it would
rain.
Sure enough, the rains started
Saturday night. Hobart has since
had an inch and a half of rain.
The rains which began in Tex
as Sunday have been worth liter
ally millions of dollars. Wide
areas in the state's central,
north and western sections re
ceived thorough dousings.
But they also took their toll
in lives. At Paducah, Tex., a
man and three women were
killed when their private plane
lost a wing in a thunderstorm
and crashed. -
Near Amarillo, a man was
killed in a fire apparently
sparked by lightning and a
truckdriver was killed in a
crash on a rain-slicked road near
Dallas.
Tornado funnels were sighted
near Big Spring, Sundown and
Ropesville in , Texas, and near
Hobart and Cogar in Oklahoma.
But no damage was reported.
Another, unconfirmed, twister
was spotted near Altoona, Pa.
Early today light rain and
drizzle extended from Pennsyl
vania southwest along the Ohio
River valley into parts of Arkan
sas, Missouri and Texas. Tem
peratures dropped deep into the
30's in northern Indiana "and
lower Michigan.
