Vaccine delays hinder Kansas swine flu program
In Topeka the swine influenza vaccination program in Kansas runs slowly due to late vaccine shipments. Dr. Donald E. Wilcox notes allocations arriving at only about a quarter by Friday, with four counties starting public clinics for elderly and high risk residents. Shawnee County begins Saturday with help from Sedgwick Johnson and Wyandotte. Officials aim to protect nursing homes and high risk groups first and may delay general public clinics until vaccine supply improves.

Ford proposal on arms treaty blocked over cruise missiles
President Ford offered to seal a nuclear weapons pact with the Russians but foreign officials said the agreement would not curb U.S. cruise missiles. Gromyko relayed the rejection to Ford at the White House, dashing hopes for a treaty before election day. American groups of Eastern European descent called the move a blunder, while foreign papers criticized it. The plan, first shared by Kissinger, would have paused cruise missiles to reach a broader accord.
