Several States Considering Further Delay in Polio Vaccination Program
Friday, June 3, 1959
Lack of Vaccine
Prior To End of
School Term Cited
Washington 4J.P.) A grow
ing number of states appeared
today to be on the edge of post
poning polio vaccination pro
grams until after the current
polio season ends next fall.
Sn far nine states and the
District of Columbia either have
made firm decisions to halt their
innoculation programs or have
decided tentatively to do so if
enough vaccine is not released to
complete shots in the very near
future.
Poslpontmenl Expected
A spokesman for the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly
sis conceded that "it is beginning
to look as though more states
will be postponing their pro
frams."
The District of Columbia said
Thursday it would cancel all
first and second shots if enough
vaccine is not available before
chool is out June 16.
Other states which have indi
cated reluctance to continue
their programs during the peak
polio season of the summer or
after school is out and children
scatter are New Jersey, New
York, Idaho, California, New
Mexico, Maryland, Oregon,
Washington and Texas.
In other developments on the
vaccine situation:
1. New Jersey's entire supply
of vaccine was recalled for fur
ther testing under the govern
ment's new safety standards.
2. Chairman Lister Hill CD-
Ala.) announced that Democrats
on the Senate Labor Committee
will support a new bill to pro
vide free polio shots to all Ameri
ca's children.
Program Said Defective
Hill rapped as "gravely defec
tive" President Eisenhower's $28
000,000 progam under which the
government would pay for vac
cine only for those children who
cannot afford it.
He said the administration
plan would provide free vaccine
for only about 11,000,000 of the
51,000,000 children "who should
be inoculated as rapidly as the
vaccine becomes available." He
said this would divide the na-J
tion's children publicly "between
objects of charity and those
whose parents can afford to pay
for the vaccine."

Honolulu, T.H. U.R Amer
ica's 13 happiest people four

but best of all they enjoyed the
freedom of talking and laughing
with one another. '
Only occasionally were the
fliers reminded of their impris
onment in Red China and Com-

munist "brain washing" at
tempts. Air Force officials interrupted
the reunion now and then so
that the fliers could "fullfill
their requirements." The re
quirements apparently meant
answering questions by intelli
gence officers about their
months of captivity behind the
Bamboo Curtain.
The fliers disclosed after their
return Wednesday that they had
pleaded guilty to violating Red
Chinese air space, and hinted
they may have signed some
papers for the Chinese prior
to their trial.
But for now, Judith Heller,
wife of Lt. Col. Edwin L. Heller
of Wynnewood, Pa., said it for
all of them with:
"It is really a dream come
true. I am now queen for all
eternity."
The reunion began Thursday
when a plane landed at Hickam
Field and the nine relatives,
laughing and crying, came tum-
ling down the gangplank to em
brace the four fliers.
The four fliers, expelled from
Communist China only last
Tuesday, besides Heller, are
Capt. Harold Fischer, Swea City,
la.; 1st Lt. Lyle Cameron, Lin
coln, Neb., and 1st Lt. Roland
Parks of Omaha.
Their relatives were Mrs. Hel
ler; Mr. and Mrs. Harold E.
Fischer, Fischer's parents; Mr.
and Mrs. Rolland Cameron,
Cameron's parents, and his
brother, Robert; and Parks' par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Parks,
and their other son, Richard.
The Air Force flew them here
from the mainland at no ex
pense for the laughing, weeping
reunion.

All Chevrolet's competitors and most of the high-priced cars
tried it recently in official NASCAR trials and took a licking!
Meet fhe champ! The new Chevrolet
"Turbo-Fire V8"-the most modern V8
on the road today.
You want facts, don't you? And not ours.
Facts instead from an independent, outside
source where the only things that count are who
came in first, second, and so on. Here they are
Daytona Beach. NASCAR Acceleration
Tests Over Measured Mile From Standing Start.
Chevrolet captured the 4 top positions in its class!
8 of the first 11! And on a time basis Chevrolet
beat every high-priced car, too but one!
Daytona Beach. NASCAR Straightaway.
Running. Open to cars delivered in Florida for
$2,500 or less. Chevrolet captured the first two
places, 7 out of the first 1 1 places!
Daytona Beach, NASCAR 2-Way Straight
away Running Over Measured Mile. Open to
cars from 250 to 299 cu. in. displacement
Chevrolet captured 3 of the first 5 places! None
of its major competition (what competition?)
even finished "in the money"!
Columbia, S. C. NASCAR 100-Mile Race on
half-mile track. Very tight turns. Chevrolet fin
ished first! Way, way ahead as in sales!
Foyetteville, N. C. NASCAR Late Model
Event. After running the fastest qualifying
round (with a new car) Chevrolet again finished
first. Because of even tighter turns the driver
chose to run the entire 150 laps in second gear!
Yet no overheating or pit stops!
These facts you can't laugh off. Sales leader.
Road leader. A crowning achievement of Chev
rolet and General Motors. Try a Chevrolet . . .
and live in a land of going-away where you win
all the arguments! Soon, maybe?
