Measles remains a leading cause of child deaths and complications such as encephalitis and pneumonia are possible. The work of Dr. John Enders and Dr. Thomas Peebles is noted.

Republican Airs Plans To Cut Peak Budget
Washington AP Republican Rep John W Brynes of Wisconsin outlined a blueprint to trim the Kennedy administration budget starting with a 3 billion cut in education and nondefense programs. He urged holding spending at current levels and even proposed a 7.5 billion revenue slash via corporate tax cuts and across the board rate reductions, while noting defense and space could also be trimmed. He criticized the projected 98.8 billion fiscal year budget and 11.9 billion deficit, and urged blocking a 1.5 billion nondefense increase and cutting foreign aid and university funding to focus construction. He also said 46,000 new federal employees are planned, yet unemployment benefits and vocational training should not be cut.
