Back Door Socialist Free To Everyone Shots Debate
Mrs Oveta Culp Hobby warned that the Democrat plan for free polio vaccines risks socialized medicine by the back door. In Senate hearing she urged nonpolitical health action while Sen Bender and Goldwater pressed for federal vaccination funding and potential new programs. Surgeon General Scheele defended vaccine safety and urged speed in immunizations, noting not all vaccines can be perfectly safe and some polio infections show mild or no symptoms.

Channel Interceptor System Seen Best For Tucson Flood Aid
Russell Taylor of Johannessen & Girand urged completion of the detention reservoir interceptor channel system to drain Davis Monthan Air Force Base runoff away from Tucson. The plan, designed three years ago, would cost about $1 million to finish the final phase bridging the railroad tracks and extending the channel to the Davis Monthan runoff. Taylor noted growth and higher property values may enable storm sewers later, but now the channel-reservoir system provides the greatest flood protection for the city.
