A DELICIOUS inrnHHEiEY Vaccine Theory Said Not Followed Pittsburgh (U.R) Dr. Jonas E. Salk indicated today his the ories had not been followed in, the government's handling of the polio vaccine program, but said he believed procedures worked out by himself and other doctors would correct the situation. In a wire to U. S. Surgeon General Leonard G. Scheele, Salk said large-scale production problems arose because the pro gram "has not taken full cogni zance of all the theoretical con siderations that apply." Dr. Salk's comments came af ter he read Dr. Scheele's lengthy report to President Eisenhower in which the surgeon general said production methods and safe tests worked well in the laboratory but were inadequate in mass production of the Salk vaccine. The University of Pittsburgh researcher said the production difficulties occurred partly be cause "the phrasing of the mini mum requirements allowed for differing interpretations" and partly because of the "amend ments to the requirements."
