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

Bohlen in Capital
For 'Consultations'
New York -Uu.R) U. S. Am
bassador to Russia- Charles E.
Bohlen arrived here by plane
today for "consultations" in
Washington.
Bohlen said he would accom
pany Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles to San Francisco
next week for the anniversary
meeting of the United Nations.
The ambassador said that so
far as he knew the forthcoming
Big Four meeting was not the
major reason for his summoning
to Washington "although it will
probably be a subject of discus
sion." DON'T GIVE FIRE

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:

jects. The sum is $8,337,000 less
than the Air Force asked.
The committee approved $551,
105,000 for the Army, an in
crease of $7,740,000; and $596,
140,000 for the Navy, an increase
