Fewer Cases Among
Vaccinated Youths
Chicago (U.PJ Surgeon
General Leonard Scheele said
today there were 75 per cent
fewer cases of polio among chil
dren vaccinated with Salk polio
vaccine last year than among
unvaccinated youngsters.
He said "the overall attack
rate among vaccinated children,
most of whom had only one in
jection, was only 6.3 per 100,
000." "Among the unvaccinated, the
attack rate was 29.2 per 100,
000," Scheele said. "Thus the
data show a reduction of at
least 75 per cent in the rate of
paralytic polio among vaccinated
children."
Scheele made the statements
in a speech prepared for the
105th annual meeting of the Am
erican Medical association.
He also said that since May, .
1955, when vaccine was first j
released under revised safety j
standards, "there has been no
epidemiologic evidence that any j
lot of vaccine of any manufac. j
turer has been unsafe."
"Unquestionably," he said,
"we now have a vaccine which
is sfanding up under the most j
careful scrutiny with respect to
safety and effectiveness." j
The surgeon general recom-;
mended that vaccination pro
grams should continue all sum-.
mer to give the best possible pro j
tection.
both cars were damaged.
Lloyd Elmer Pitts, 42, route
2, box 19, Jacksonville, was cit
ed at 4 a.m. Sunday for parking
on the paved portion of the
highway after his car was struck

ling west on highway 238, about
five miles west of Jacksonville,
when he rounded a curve and
saw Pitt's car in his lane of
traffic. Officers said Womack
applied the brakes and apparent
ly skidded into Pitt's car. There
were no injuries and damage to
the vehicles was minor, state po

seven miles north of Medford.
State police said. Hazel D. Wolff,
55, of 322 Benson St., Medford.
was attempting to make a left
turn from the highway. A pick
up following Mrs. Wolff passed
her car frim the riht. officers
said. A third vehicle, operated
by Orie Earl McElroy. 35,
Springfield, was following the
pick-up and McElroy failed to
see Mrs. Wolff's car in time to
stop. His car struck Mrs. Wolff's
vehicle in the rear. Damage to
the cars was minor, officers reported.
There's plenty of truth in
Hagerty's quip that the Presi
dent's illness would "make doc
tors out of reporters and re
porters out of doctors." The doc
tors at press conferences have
shown some keen understand
ing of what the public wants to
know about their famous patient.
And reporters who never heard
of an ileum before last Friday
are discussing the small intestine
as familiarly as they would a
hangnail.
Will the intestinal operation
change President Eisenhower's
mind about running for reelec
tion? A radio-TV network man
polled 14 of the regular White
House reporters on duty at the
hospital's emergency press head
quarters. Ten think he will run.
Four think he won't. Hagerty's
oft repeated answer when the
question comes up: "I have no
interest in anything except get
ting the President of the United
States out of this hospital."
One favorite question among
newsmen at hospital press con
ferences is "What pajamas is
the President wearing?" They
have a vested interest. The
White House reporters gave Mr.
Eisenhower an elegant pair
when he was hospitalized after
suffering his heart attack in Den
ver. Mr. Eisenhower has this
dapper nightwear at home and
dons it occasionally. At the hos
pital, he's been wearing a tan
model.
Reporters are not moochers.
but they do accept small gifts.
There's a seemingly bottomless
urn of hot coffee in the hospital
press conference room, and the
press conference is using it free
ly. Beside the urn is a tin pitcher
with the words "coffee kitty"
scrawled in crayon on the side.
After 48 hours of coffee drinking
there was one lonely dime in the
bottom.

Wage Negotiators
Into Crucial Vork
New York U.R The "Big
Three" steel wage negotiators
prepared' today for their most
crucial sessions in the two-week-old
bargaining conference.
Management is expected to
present to the union by Wednes
day at the latest counter pro
posals sharply scaling down the
22 contract demands of the Uni
ted Steelworkers of America.
Current contracts between the
650,000-member USW and 172
steel companies expire at mid
night on June 30th. Failure to
write a new pact by that time
could trigger a serious strike
affecting the entire economy.
The union's package demands
are believed to add up to a
whopping 60 cents an hour,
which would cost the industry
around $800 million a year if met
in full.
Nobody had any idea what
management's counter - offer
would total, although it would
be substantailly less than what
the union was asking.
Serious bargaining on a new
contract cannot begin until aft
er the union has received and
studied management's counter
proposals.
The real fireworks are ex
pected to begin sometime next
week, when both sides get down
