S. Public Health service, will make an ideal booster for persons -who have had Salk polio shots, and appears to be safe and effec tive as a polio preventive for infants. Researchers doing work with March of Dimes money from the National Foundation reported these finding in in terviews covering work to be discussed in a meeting of the foundation's advisory commit tee on virus vaccines in New York City. The, committee, which guides the foundation in its vaccine research and policy decisions, will meet to discuss problems concerning the use of the new vaccine in the U. S,, particularly those problems in areas in which the foundation is sponsoring research. Doiage Schadulai Dr. John R. Paul of Yale university is conducting th experiments on dosage sched ules. He reported that there is no evidence that persons who have had Salk shots should avoid Sabin vaccine, Dr. Joseph L. Melnick of Bay lor university medical school in Houston, Tex., said more strongly: "Those who have had Salk, without question can be given Sabin. In fact, they are the ideal group. Two foundation studies with newborn babies and young children on the effects of the vaccine have shown no ill effects on the young. Dr. Martha Litson Lepow, who is assisting Dr. Frederick C. Robbins in polio research at Western Reserve universi ty, Cleveland, said they be gan experiments to determine administration and dosage of Sabin in infants on Jan. 1, using 150 newborn infants and 75 babies three months of age. "It will take one year to be able accurately to de termine immunity effects of the vaccine relative to the time of life when it was ad ministered," Dr. Lepow said.

By Rona. fants, Dr. Melnick has begun tests on adults, using 650 prisoner volunteers. Dr. Melnick's work with adults is expected to reveal to what degree viremia - the presence of poliovirus in the blood - occurs after adminis tration of Sibin vaccine. With viremia there is a greater likelihood of the cen tral nervous system being af fected. In polio infections, the blood stream is the chief route by which the virus travels to the brain and spinal cord where It may cause paralysis. Should Dr. Melnick's stud ies show that viremia does occur often and to a consid erable degree, authorities might have to consider wheth er live-virus vaccine is suit able, particularly for young adults and pregnant women, Dr. Thomas M. Rivers, the foundation's vice president for medical affairs, said re cently. Ike Receives Radiation-Safeiy Standard Survey Washington - (Science Serv ice) - President Eisenhower has requested and received a complete survey of Federal agencies' radiation safety standards, it has been learned here. The President has been asked at a press conference if an executive order sent to federal agencies with the over - all federal radiation guides did not permit the agencies to deviate, at will, from the guides. The unpublished survey by the federal radiation council showed that the agencies have not deviated from the guides. The council, which prepared the safety guides, noted that so far there has been no ne cessity for deviating from the guides. The council also reported to the President that it had set up a regular mechanism for receiving reports of safety practices from agencies each Aug. 1. To Report Deviation The Council also has told agencies to inform it imme diately of any deviations from the guides. This information will be re ported to the President. All cases involving operations at levels in excess of the recom mended guides will be report ed to the President by the council. Although federal agencies have ndt deviated from the recommended guides, they still have authority to do so without any preliminary re view either by the federal radiation council or the Presi dent. As of this date, 'there has been no indication, from the administration that ihe executive order will -be amended to require such pre liminary review.
