POLIO VACCINE TESTS WIN FINAL APPROVAL, GET UNDER WAY IN NATION Washington, April 25.—A com mittee of polio experts today gave its final approval to the start of a nationwide tests Mon day of a new polio vaccine. Inoculations of the new vac cine, last entry in the quest of a means of preventing the “great crippler,” are scheduled to get underway in at least some of the 1T11 communities in 45 states. The vaccine to be used will be the manufactured version of a vaccine , originally developed by Dr. Jonas Salk in his laborato ries at the University of Pitts burgh. The actual commencement of the trials, which may ultimately involve the vaccination of more thart half a millioft children, was okayed by a group of experts af ter a final two-day appraisal of the vaccine’s safety. The group constituted a “Vac cine Advisory Committee” to the National Foundation toe Infantile Paralysis, sponsors of the tests. Until the committee announc ed its decision, late this after noon, that the vaccine was con sidered safe for use in the tests, it still had been an open question whether the vaccination pro gram would be started as plan ned—even though the first ship ments of the material already had been made to many of the states slated to take part. But even before the experts met, of ficials of the NF1P were repre sented as confident the vaccine would pass final appraisal and that the tests would start as planned. Supplies of the vaccine had been distributed with “the un derstanding that none is to be used until released by the Vac cine Advisory Committee.” . Today’s dicision automatically released the delivered vaccine for use. ' Technically, the committee recommended that the NFIP go ahead with the planned tests, and President Basil O’Connor of the fondation said the organi zation would do so, and would assume administrative and fi nancial responsibility for evalu ating the vaccine. The anouncement of the go ahead decision was made at e news conference at which it was said that 7,507 children, in pre liminary tests, had already been given a manufactured type of the vaccine and that “there have been no recognizable untoward effects." Of the 7,507 children, 3,443 had previously received a shot of vaccine made in Salk’s own lab oratory. Of the 4,064 who received the manufactured type, only 3,007 have now been inoculated and observed for a period of at least 21 days. Saying that specifications and minimal requirements had been established for the production of the manufactured vaccine, the advisory committee said, “The possibility of# infectious activity remaining in any vaccine meet ing the specifications and mini mal requirements has been re duced to the point below which it cannot be measured by prac ticable laboratory procedures.” And Basil O’Connor declared: “The tests set up (for testing the vaccine in the laboratories Thursday, April 29,1»S4 before release) ar efar beyond those ever required for any (oth er) vaccine to date." Coincident with the commit tee’s decision, the U. S. Public Health Service issued a state ment saying: “We believe that the judgment of the Vaccine Advisory Com mittee is sound and that the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis is justified in proceed ing according to the committee’s recommendationsi.” The Public Health Service, through its Biologies Control Laboratory, assisted in the lab oratory testing of the vaccine.

Final figures show the 1953 Christmas Seal Sale of the South Carolina tuberculosis association was the most successful in the association’s history, amounting to $329,052.99 and showing an in crease of one percent over the 1952 sale, according to Robert M. Cooper, honorary state chair- man. ( Twenty county associations in the state showed gains over the 1952 totals. The National Tuberculosis As sociation will receive six percent of the Seal Sale income from South Carolina, one percent of which is specifically ear-marked for research. However, the na tional association expects to spend 16 per cent of its total in come this year on research pro jects. Funds remaining in South Carolina will be used to find persons who knowingly or un knowingly have tuberculosis it carry on a program of telling people about causes of tubercu losis, prevention of the disease and treatment, and to rehabili tate those patients who recover to the point where they can plan to return to their communities.
