Calif. fll.R) Giant Air Force bombers com netine in the Strategic Air Com mand's bombing and navigation meet returned to this base today after making first flights of drop ping tneoreticai n-oomos on j-ios Angeles. Swent-winged Stratoiets which started taking off from this base at one-minute intervals late yesterday, returned one by one from the first of three juuo mile missions in an attack on simulating mass destruction of a city. The big planes dropped radar signal "bombs" on a certain building at the E. M: Jorgensen Steel Co. Results of. tne iirst scoring were not expected to be known until later today. Thirtv-four SAC bombard ment wings from throughout the nation are taking part In the six-day event at both this base and Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington. Theoretical bombs were to be dropped on Los An geles, Sacramento and Spokane Tests Apparently Failed To Prevent Virus in Shots Washington U.P.) The gov ernment said today that "fail nr" nt its original safety tests was the probable cause of the polio outbreak among children who received Cutter vaccine. The Public Health Service said these safety standards, since overhauled, apparently faiioH in nrevent live virus from opttintr into some Cutter vaccine shots. This caused at least some of the 169 polio cases connected directly or indirectly with tne Puttpr vaccine. Tn a six-naae report on its four-month investigation of the Cutter incident, the Health Serv ice frankly conceded that the "exact reasons" for live virus found in at least three Cutter lots "could not be found. Tests At Fault Rut it declared that its invest! gation "produced nothing which pointed to contamination as a nn..Yna tVio Hvo virus." Scien j tists had checked the possibility that this might have occurred rtnrintr the hnttling of the VaC- cine. bv Cutter and after final safety tests had been made. On the contrary, the rieaun Service said, the evidence sug gested that "the cause of the trouble was inadequate macii vation (kiUing of the virus) rni inled with failure of the safety test to demonstrate the presence of virus. A snokesman for the Cutter Laboratories issued a statement saying that the Public Health Service had issued a "thorough, scientific, and courageous report, affirming our faith that no negli gence or incompetence would De found at Cutter Laboratories." The statement said that while the firm naturally was relieved that nnssihle vaccination acci dents "cannt be attributed to carelessness on our part, this cannot remove our continuing deep concern for those who have been affected. ' Nat Unusual The Health Service pointed out before May 27 that inade quate killing of the virus was r.nt unusual in the experience of several of the manufacturers." It also said there were "funda mental weaknesses in the safety testing nroredures which failed to assure what is now believed to be a satisfactory degree of sensitivity." On May 27 new safety stand ards were put into effect by the government. Dr. Leonard A. bcneeie, u.a. surgeon-general, said the PHS does not contemplate revoking Cutter's license. He said govern ment inspectors could not spot the exact time or place t-utter 3 troubles occurred. Dr. James A. Shannon, head of the National Institutes of Health's researcn hranch.' said he believes "this won't happen again" in view of the government's new safety standards. He said the institute now is running its own tests on all vaccine submitted for clear ance. Scheele said it is too early to determine whether there has been less polio among vacci nated children this year. But he said from data received so far, it appears the vaccine gives pro tection. Meeting Scheduled Both inactivation and the test ing are governed by the govern ment standards which were drastically overhauled in the wake of the Cutter incident. The Health Service report said 79- persons suffered polio within 90 days after receiving Cutter vaccine. Forty-six ot these, it said, occurred among six suspect lots from Cutter's laboratories. The nature of these cases, the report said, warranted the pre sumption that "the cause of the disease in some of the individ uals who receivd vaccine from these six lots was infection with poliomyelitis virus contained in these lots of vaccine- produced by the Cutter Laboratories." In addition, the report said the Health Service and other laboratories isolated live type one polio virus from three of the six suspect lots. Type one virus the most virulent strain, also was isolated from most of the polio cases involving the six suspect lots. The report said these facts "indicate that infective amounts of live virus were contained in some lots of Cutter vaccine This could have been caused, u-tdu, mem-''''' 'TV""' 1 ; COUPLE OF WELL KNOWN MISSOURIANS Former President Harry Truman pats Susie, a Missouri mule at the : o4.4. ic:- i c ji; Cicio a thrpp-Vfar-Old.

A winter drought in 1863-4 caused widespread loss of cattle in California. the report continued, either be cause the vaccine was "inade quately inactivated, or if con tamination occurred before withdrawal of vaccine for the final safety test."
