Three hours later a Southern Bell private patrolman in the same vicinity discovered 40 sticks of placed against the rear of a repeater, station. "The with us at the repeater station," District Manager P. D.

Hunter said. "The dynamite had a coil fuse attached which had burned to within three feet of the cap. Between 25 and 30 feet of the fuse had burned, but for-some pason it had, gone out within three feet of the cap." The ground was damp from light rain and dampness may have caused the fuse to stop burning, Hunter said. sticks of--dynamite were abandoned at the scene of the blast. Officers found them on the roadside after the explosion blew apart the cable.

O'NEILL United Press Stalf Correspondent Washington. up The governnaent to release the first' batches of embargoed polio vaccine this afternoon, and resume the nation's stalled vaccination program, U. S. Surgeon General Leonard A. Scheele said today.

Scheele told the House Banking and Currency Committee that a double check, of: vaccine made at Parks Davis Detroit, has been completed. "It is likely that word is now at my office regarding the finding's of the group which visited Detroit; Scheele testified, "and that we will be able to announce the release of Parke Davis materials, as soon or shortly after I return" to th Public Health Service office. Release of any, or all, of the Parke Davis, product would probably involve hundreds of thousands of shots of the anti-polio vaccine. It would clear the way for almost immediate resumption of inocula-" tions in areas which have Parke Davis vaccine on hand. Still Checking Government experts have yet ta double-check shots produced by" four other firffisvTherefore, full resumption of the nationwide immunization program could not be expected immediately; On May.

7 Scheele recommended that all inoculations be halted pend-' ing a double-check of existing vaccine stocks. In his a 'r testimony, Scheele also disclosed" that the 'first phase" the investigation of the temporarily-banned vaccine produced by Cutter Laboratories, Berkeley, has been completed. He said it might be necessary to repeat some tests. The majority of persons who de veloped polio after being inoculated with the Salk vaccine received shots produced in the Cutter, lab oratories.
