The committee recommended $312,' Evangelist Graham Would Conduct Crusade in Russia Paris (U.R) Billy Graham said today he would carry his religious crusade through the Iron Curtain to the Soviet Union "if I am invited.' The American evangelist, who has been dubbed "the angel Ga briel in Gabardine" by the French press, ended his five-day Paris crusade Thursday night. He said the meeting was twice as uccessful as he had expected. Graham said that an exiled Russian princess had come to him during his stay and appealed to him on her knees to carry the word of God to her homeland. "I told her that if the oppor tunity came I would gladly go," Graham said. He added that he told her, however, that he would wait until he was invited. Graham said he would attend the World Baptist Alliance in London next month where he ex pected to meet the leaders of the Baptist Church in the Soviet Union. He said he did not know if the Russian churchmen would invite him to preach in their Communist-dominated country, Biggest Crowd The biggest crowd of the Cru sade turned out for Graham's final meeting in the huge Palais Des Sports. Some 11,000 per sons attended with 587 making "decisions for Christ" in response to Graham's call. Thus, in his first full-scale cru sade in a predominately Catholic country, Graham attracted a to tal of 42,883 persons, of whom 2,254 came forward to make dec larations. Graham's sermons had to be translated for his French audiences.

Public Health Service Said Ready To Do Better Job on New Vaccines Washington (U.R) The U. S. Public Health Service said today it is ready to do a better job of handling expected new vaccines for other diseases because of lessons it learned from troubles with the Salk polio vaccine. U.S. Surgeon General Leonard A. Scheele gave this assurance to President Eisenhower in a massive report outlining prob lems encountered with the Salk vaccine and how they were solved. Tests Fail To Work Properly The report said the Salk vac cine proved faulty in some in stances because original safety tests developed in research and thought to be more than ade quate failed to work properly in mass production. But Scheele told the President new safety requirements and ex panded safety tests now being required by the government doubly insure the vaccine's safe ty. He said he now has "every belief that this vaccine will ful fill its bright promise as a major advance in the prevention and control" of polio. Other Virus Controls The reports aid that develop ment of the Salk vaccine should lead to vaccines for controlling other virus infections. It said that as a resufr of its experience with the Salk serum, the Health Service is ready to deal more efficiently with "problems of equal complexity which will be raised by development of other new viral vaccines." The report gave this explana tion of why some Salk vaccine produced live virus before the new safety requirements were set up: It said the original concept held that polio virus inactive by formaldehyde would "render the virus harmless but still capable of inducing the produc tion of antibodies." But it said it was later found in. actual production that "the process of inactivation did not always follow the predicted course." Live virus "not infre quently occurred after the ex pected completion of the inacti vation process." Lack of Information It also said records which manufacturers were required to submit to the government "did not bring out certain data on processing and testing now known to be important."

The report outlined in great detail how polio began cropping up among some children who were inoculated, the later bans on release of new vaccine, the long investigations made of man ufacturing processes, the order Deadline for Bids On Rehabilitation Proposal Extended Bids will be opened at 10 a.m. Tuesday, June 28, instead of next Thursday, on rehabilitation of Four Mile and Fish lake dams, the Bureau of Reclama tion has announced. . Bids are subject to two condi tions: That voters in the Med ford and Rogue River Valley Ir rigation districts approve re habilitation at a July 15 elec tion; and that Congress appro priates necessary funds. The rehabilitation program is designed to increase water sup plies to the two districts through elimination of wastage, and will lower operating and mainte nance costs. Needs Approval The $1,712,000 project must have the approval of eligible district voters, who will vote on whether or not the districts shall enter into a contract with the United States government for the work, and for repayment to the government of the interest- free money made available for the project. Of the total amount, the Med ford district rehabilitation will cost an estimated $1,475,466, and the Rogue River Valley dist rict's cost will be $236,534. for more stringent safety tests and the resumption of vaccine clearances. The report said much of the confusion resulting from the vaccine situation could be laid to the fact that "events have been telescoped in time so that the vaccine has been developed, tested and used in a matter of months instead of years." It said most great medical advances have "always involved a certain amount of acceptance of risk, trial and error ..." In addition to the revised testing methods already in ef fect, the Health Service outlined a major reorganization and ex pansion of its machinery for dealing with vaccines and other biological products.
