Senate Nearing Showdown On Free Salk Shots Vote
Washington June 5 U S Surgeon General Leonard Scheele and Welfare Secretary Oveta Hobby plan to present a nationwide report on the Salk polio vaccine. The Welfare Committee expects to quickly approve a bill providing free vaccine for every American child, with a public debate to follow on cost and a proposed needs test. The plan contrasts with an Administration bill offering vaccine only to the needy amid GOP skepticism over cost and socialized medicine implications.
