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,

who work on matters which will
continue to improve the econ

better transportation routes
through southern "Oregon.

islative committee's efforts, with
particular reference to tax meas
ures, and the greeters commit
tee's effectiveness in spreading
rhamhpr trnnri Will.
Pletsch stated that a study
needs to be made to help busi
ness people increase sales. "It's
important," he said, "that we do
not fail to follow tnrougn witn
some plan which will allow us to
capitalize on events wnen tney
are developed."

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."
But in either case, it, pointed
out that the live virus could
only get into the final product
"if the final safety test failed to
demonstrate the presence of live
virus."
