Program Will Be Delayed Six Weeks By Federal Move Washington (U.R) rThe gov ernment today announced the formal adoption of stiff new safe ty standards for Salk polio shots"to make a good vaccine better" and to protect "our chil dren." Manufacturers said the move will delay full resumption of the nation's inoculation program by at least six weeks. But they unanimously agreed to the stan dards early today In the inter ests of safety. Surgeon General Leonard A. Scheele proclaimed the safety of all vaccine "already produced and used," except for two sus pect lots by Cutter Laboratories. But he said the manufactur ers and scientists who met here all week agreed new safety standards are the "only possible course" to insure protection for America's children. Scheele said the government's new vaccine clearance commit tee hopes to make recommenda tions in a few days regarding the "clearance of vaccine made by Pitman-Moore and Wyeth "Laboratories. Inspection Report 'Excellent' This vaccine, approved once, was ordered rechecked three weeks ago. Scheele indicated it will be cleared. He said the in spection report on the two firms was "excellent." Vaccine by Parke Davis and Eli Lilly was released previously. Scheele said Cutter Labora tories, whose vaccine has been under . suspension, is resuming production under the revised standards. Its vaccine will, of course, have to be cleared by the government batch-by-batch be fore being distributed. The surgeon general's an nouncement came at the end of an all-week dispute over what form the safety standards should take. It also climaxed a mara thon, 15-hour final session which didn't wind up until 2:30 a.m. today. N Five of .the vaccine manufac turers agreed early Thursday to go along with the standards. But Pitman-Moore, which will have to do more retesting than the others, did not agree until late Thursday night after hours of discussion with top. public health service officials. "Minimum Slowdown Scheele said the revised stand ards, which will be made pub lic later today and go into ef fect immediately, would cause a "minimum slowdown in the production of vaccine that is consistent with the added safe ty" involved. Interviews with representa tives of the six manufacturers showed that it will be six weeks or longer before substantial new vaccine supplies begin flow ing int6 the inoculation pro gram. This means it will be impos sible to give second shots to Police Brutality Charged in Fong Case Portland (U.R) Charges of police brutality have been lev eled by Attorney Irvin Goodman in a bid to get a new trial for Wey Him and Sherry Fong.
