Health Service Revises Setup. By William M. Blair. Leased Wire From N. Y.

Timet. WASHINGTON, D. The U. S. public health service Thursday la major blame for the breakdown of the polio vaccination program on the incom-patability of the original Salk formula with mass-production methods.

This is said in a detailed scientific report prepared by Surgeon General Leonard A. Scheele for President Eisenhower. The report makes these principal points: 1 The experience of man- uf acturers showed "that the process of inactivation (reducing live virus to state) does not always follow the original con--cept" as laid out by Dr. Jonaa E. Salk.

2 The federal government lacked "adequate" procedures for determining manufacturers' performance and control because there was insufficient statistical data or experience on which they might" be based. 3 Records that manufacturers were required to submit "did not permit adequate assessment of consistency in performance" by the commercial drug firms. 4 The original safety testa were designed only to show up possible large-scale contamination of vaccine by live virus as a result of an accident in the manufacturing process. It was not at first thought necessary to test for small traces of live virus, because it was believed that the manufacturing process if not involved in an accident would take care of these. I These defects brought a sweeping reorganization in the government's biologic control program.

A new division of biologies standards was created with expanded powers and facilities to prevent a situation like the polio mixup from developing in the future. The new division, a separata organization, replaces the laboratory of biologies control that had charge of the clearance of the polio vaccine. Its duties wiU include an extensive expansion of research related to the development and control of all biological products and drug plant surveillance with a staff of trained inspectors. The more than 100-page scientific report to the president emphasized that tha speed with which the vaccina was developed prevented complete safety from the outset. It also showed that there was a difference of opinion among scientists and other experts on whether the mass inoculation program should be continued In view of the lack of a wide "margin of safety." "There was a preponderance, though not a unanimity, of opinion that the national vac cination program would be continued if enough assurance of Polio Continued on Page Nine.
