Eisenhower Signs Bill for $30 Million Polio Vaccine Grants
Washington launched a program to distribute 30 million dollars to states for Salk polio vaccine programs. Funds will be delivered by Feb 15 under a law signed by President Eisenhower. The measure authorizes federal grants to cover free vaccines for one third of unvaccinated children and pregnant women, costing about 60 million dollars, though Congress provided 30 million as the government share. Each state's allotment was set by a formula based on unvaccinated person counts, vaccine costs, and per capita figures.

Company inventory plans may be dropped if the strike ends, as copper wire supplies return to normal following the Salt Lake City agreement between Kennecott Copper Corp and unions.
