Scientific Praise For Polio Vaccine By U S Public Health Service
Dr Leonard A Scheele Surgeon General of the Public Health Service says polio vaccine will become as safe as other vaccines after refining laboratory processes. He cites 125 post vaccination cases in nearly six million doses and attributes them to mixing and unknown factors that can be reduced. He notes one shot provides long lasting resistance, with delays on subsequent doses. Mohair production in Texas shows a comeback after declines, with 96 percent of mohair from 2.5 million goats. Texas goat numbers may rise further, boosting output. Washington visitors include radio man Farrel Brooks and family, T D Moore and wife en route to Annapolis, Quida Moseley, and R M Grady.
