FOURTEEN -MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, Juna 14 1955 Administration Argues Against Free Anti-Polio Vaccination Program for All Hobby, Scheele Plug Eisenhower's $28,000,000 Plan Washington U.E The ad ministration today urged against a free polio vaccine plan ad vanced by the Democrats which it estimates might cost taxpay ers "well over $100,000,000." It sent Health Secretary Oveta Culp Hobby and Surgeon Gene ral Leonard A. Scheele before the Senate Labor Committee to plug for a more modest $28, 000,000 program advocated by President Eisenhower. Hearing Ordered Sen. Lister Hill (D-Ala.) com mittee chairman, ordered the hearings to consider the rival Democratic and administration proposals. But "he conceded the whole vaccine contorversy might get a going over. A committee staff member said a group wants assurances Salk shots are safe before pass ing legislation endorsing their use. And several senators were primed with sharp questions re garding the administration's con troversial handling of the vac cine safety problem. One of the two bills before the committee is sponsored by Hill. It would authorize the govern ment to buy vaccine and supply it free to all children who want it, without strings attached. Hope Abandoned The other measure, sponsored by the administration, would establish a' $28,000,000 fund to provide free shots to children whose parents are unable to pay. As the Senate hearings got un derway, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis said it has abandoned hope of finishing its mass inoculation program be fore the last schools in the na tion close for the summer next week. Foundation officials said they hope some Salk vaccine will be released by the government this week. But they asid this would be too late to complete the sec ond round of injections for the country's first and second grad ers. Some Clinics Open The foundation said first shots should be completed soon in all 48 states and that some com munities plan to keep their clinics open during the summer for second injections. But officials conceded it probably will be next fall before the two-shot program can be completed. And it will be at least then before youngsters not in the foundation program can be gin getting shots. i Seventh Annual Picnic For Minnesolans Held The seventh annual Minnesota picnic was held at TouVelle state park last Sunday.

Published as a public service in co operation with The Advertising Council Board of Education OKs 1955-56 Budget; SOC To Get $55,675 Portland (U.R) Members of the State Board of Higher Edu cation yesterday gave a stamp of approval to a 1955-56 budget of $21,902,060. Of the sum, $15,494,631 is for campus instruction and $6,407, 428 for services such as hospitals, clinics, agricultural research and extension. The instruction budget is based on an expected enroll ment increase of .9 per cent throughout the system. It was reduced by the Legislature from what college presidents had re quested. Chancellor-elect John Richards said if enrollment climbs much higher, the board's $137,500 emergency fund will "disappear rapidly" and the gov ernor and department of finance will have to be asked for emer gency funds. A request for a five per cent increase ip make salary adpust ments was cut to 3Vfc per cent. Presidents had asked for 140 more teachers to take care of rising enrollments. They got 91. Distribution of money for sal ary increases was left to individ ual schools. It was expected the composite average raise would be about $120 a year. The estimated 1955-56 enroll ment and the instructional bud get approved included: BROTHER ACT at Perm State University as university president Milton Eisenhower (right) awards honorary degree of doctor of laws to President Dwight D.
