Washington August 18 Public health experts from 38 states and the federal service drafted a code of regulations to curb infantile paralysis spread across state lines. The plan includes uniform health certificates for child relocation from epidemic areas and cooperation among federal state and railroad authorities.

Quarantine between states or communities was rejected.
