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." Further-

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.
