Eight confirmed cases with several others under observation led health authorities to close grade schools and begin mass inoculations as supplies of toxin and antitoxin are rushed in from Topeka. The shortage spurred calls to Sanitation officials as the outbreak prompts possible postponement of ceremonies and heightened vigilance. General Eisenhower visits Seoul before heading to Iwo Jima.
