WASHINGTON, April 12 (A)- Mass vaccinations of school children with the Salk polio vaccine are due to start Monday in the Washington area. About 41,000 children in nearby Fairfax and Arlington Counties in Virginia and Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties in Maryland have signed up for the shots. In Washington, the injections will be started April 26 with 30,000 scheduled to be vaccinated at the rate of 6,000 a day.

It can be determined through the codes and keys which child got what. ANN ARBOR, April 12 (P) -Dr. Jonas E. Salk was given a standing ovation by 400 fellow seientists and newsmen today, when he reported on his successful polio vaccine. Dr.

Salk developed the vaccine under a grant the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to the University of Pittsburgh, where he is on the faculty. The vaccine is an unpatented product, so Dr. Salk's only reward from its development aside from his regular salary is the satisfaction of his accomplishment. WASHINGTON, April 12 Rep. Derounian (R-NY) today proposed that Congress award a medal to Dr.

Jonas E. Salk who developed the antipolio vaccine. Derounian said it would be a "fitting expression of the tremendous gratitude of the people to this great doctor and humanitarian for his brilliant achievement." He added in a statement that he would formally offer in the House tomorrow a bill to award the medal.

IMPROVEMENTS IN EXPECTED Dr. Harold K. Hogg, of the City Board of Health, secretary, Salk polio vaccine as "a great thing" at last night's board meeting. "Although it is only 80 to 90 per cent effective, according to the reports, as improvements are made -and they undoubtedly will be made--we can expect to see its ficiency approach the 100 per cent mark. This is indeed a great medical advance," he said.

ly licensed Salk polio vaccine? Three estimates were heard today at the scene where the vaccine was proclaimed a success. From Milwaukee a doctor estimated the going rate would run between $10 and $15. A group of northeast Ohio pediatricians has voted to recommend that their members provide the three-shot package for $10. One clinic in Minneapolis is offering the package for $12.50: The actual cost of the vaccine as it comes from pharmaceutical houses runs from $4.20 to $6. according to earlier announcements from those firms.

The drug is not patented. Dr. Jonas E. Salk of Pittsburgh, who developed the vaccine, does not receive any payment from its sale. MEXICO CITY, April 12 (P)-The Health Ministry said today it had asked the United States for 100,000 doses of Salk antipolio vaccine.

The ministry also said it had asked Dr. Jonas E. Salk for permission to make more of the vaccine here. The two requests were made several months ago, before the success of the vaccine was announced. UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., April 12 -The Health Organization said tonight it was encouraged by reports of the Salk polio vaccine success but cautioned that more to be learned about its results.

News of the success of the Salk polio vaccine turned the relaxed, casual atmosphere of Ann Arbor into one charged with pulse-pounding excitement. History was made and everyone knew it. A killer was sentenced to die. It all started at 9:15 a.m.

in the smoke-filled news room of the University of Michigan's four million dollar Rackham Building. That is when Dr. Thomas Francis report on the vaccine was given eagerly awaiting newsmen and newswomen- 200 of them. DIDN'T MAKE IT The plan was to bring copies of the report into the room and hand them out one by one. But the police guarded messengers never got into the room.

Reporters, anxious to get their copies of the historic document, jammed the doorway, shouting: "Here it is, Here it is." The messengers, seeing there was no hope to get into the room, ripped open the cardboard boxes which held the report and started WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1955 Much Work Still Ahead In Polio Fight, Says Rudy Much work in the fight against polio still remains to be done, despite approval of the Salk polio vaccine in the Francis report yesterday, said Christian C. Rudy, chairman of the Lancaster County Chapter, National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Rudy hailed the approval of the vaccine as "a wonderful victory" but cautioned those "who will assume that we have come to the end of the road and that further effort is unnecessary (that) nothing is farther fr from the actual fact, for there is still much to be done in rehabilitation and the further establishment of an absolute inactivated vaccine which meets all requirements from every The local chapter is cooperating in the preparations for the free inoculations, for vaccine' first and provided second by the National Foundation.

"It is by quite a coincidence that Mrs.

J. William Frey should be noting her completion of her first year in the Childrens Hospital in Baltimore in' her fight against the crippling effects of the disease which it is hoped will be overcome with the use of this new Salk vaccine. It is a great day in this fight against infantile paralysis an achievement which every one of us should be proud of and very thankful for." Mrs. Frank E. Phillips, 28 E.

Producer Robert L. Bendick of NBC's "Today" show defended the breach of confidence on the grounds the story's "importance warranted early release." Later, in a statement, NBC said it jumped the gun because "many metropolitan dailies and wire services had carried accurate and lengthy reports on the success of the vaccine as much as three weeks prior to the official release day." WIRES WEAVER In Des Moines, President Russ Van Dyke of the National Radio Television News Directors Assn.

wired NBC's president, Sylvester Weaver: "As an organization devoted to upholding journalism standards RTNDA is much disturbed by re-: lease date break on polio story. Am informed Robert Bendick, producer of deliberately jumped release without warning to other media. If true he violated one of oldest and most useful rules of journalism and strong protests are in order. Does NBC television have explanation or adequate reason why such protests should not be made?" An NBC spokesman said the network had no comment on Van Dyke's telegram. GIVEN COPIES Representatives of the various news media were given copies of the official announcement of the vaccine's success at 9:15 a.m.

with the understanding the news would not be made public until 10:20 a.m. The 10:20 a.m. release time was fixed to coincide with a special scientific meeting at the University of Michigan. NBC switched its "Today" program to the university where an NBC announcer broke the vaccine news at 9:20 a.m. The program had gone off the air in some areas but was carried on the western portion of the network and broadcast in New York by another show which cut into As a result of NBC's premature broadcast, the Associated Press, Salk-Francis-O'Connor Team Is Center Of Day It Won't Forget ANN ARBOR, April 12 (P) Three tired plodded through the hectic remainder of a day, in the of a momentous medical decision that almost dwarfed them.

Resigned resolution marked the face of Dr. Thomas Francis 54, University of Michigan scientist who told the world today that the Salk polio vaccine success. Dr. Jonas E. Salk, whose six years of research on the known facts of polio gave birth to the vaccine, showed the strain less.

He's 14 years younger than his one-time teacher, Dr. Francis. WEARING THIN Basil O'Connor, president of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis since its inception, exhibited a patience with newsmen that was wearing thinner and thinner. He's 63. The three of them had brought the world its first effective defense against poliomyelitis.

The magnitude of their announcement wore them down by mid-afternoon. First they sweltered under the batteries of lights that focused them in the eyes of television and newsreel cameras. Then they withstood the merciless pounding of questions that flowed in from all over the world. Questions like; "Will there be enough monkeys to provide enough kidneys to produce the vaccine that's needed?" "When will shots be begun?" "How will they be given?" For hours, the three men bowed under the weight of the questions and the exposing light of the television crews which deprived them of all privacy. They even ate in front of an audience and answered questions.

HOBBY PUTS OKAY ON VACCINE WASHINGTON, April 12 (P The government tonight signalled the start of a vast campaign to treat America's children with the Salk vaccine, hailed as a potent foe of polio. Secretary of Welfare Oveta Culp Hobby formally licensed the vaccine for general use.

This paved the way for commercial concerns to place the material in the hands of doctors, so they can administer it to children before the start of the summer polio season. Estimates of the number to be vaccinated this year range as high as 45 million. SIX FIRMS The licenses, giving the go-ahead to six pharmaceutical firms to manufacture and distribute the vaccine in interstate commerce were signed by Mrs. Hobby on the recommendation of Dr. Leonard A.

The praise came from Dr. Thomas M.

Rivers, director of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Dr. Rivers speaking before a meeting, lauded the work accepting the Dr. Thomas Francis Jr. report for the institute.

WAY PAVED Dr. Rivers said long development and research work which led to the discoveries concerning the polio viruses paved the way. "From there on," he said, "the development of vaccine awaited the brilliance and perseverance of a Dr. Jonas E. Salk, and America came up with him." Dr.

Francis was praised for his "exacting" work. Basil O'Connor, president of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, "deserves the credit for marshalling the resources of the Dr. Rivers said. -Prescription Item You Just Can't Go In And Buy Polio Vaccine Parents were reminded yesterday that they just can't walk into a drugstore and buy the Salk polio vaccine for their children. Physicians and druggists alike pointed out that the new vaccine, like most other drugs, is a prescription item and can be purchased, when it is available, only on a written prescription by a doctor.

The reminder came last night after several drugstores reported receiving calls asking when the drug would be available. According to a spokesman for the Lancaster County Pharmaceutical Association, no information has been received as to when the drug will be available for sale to the general public. He explained that it will depend on how much of the drug is left in manufacturers' stocks after orders are filled for the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, which has first call on the vaccine, to provide free shots for first and second graders.

"We are going to be faced with a trying period when there will be demands for this vaccine which we cannot supply," Dr.

Berwyn F. Mattison, State Health Secretary. He expressed confidence in the "integrity of our family physicians" to see that the use of vaccine, dards "meets the highest stanof medical practice." Some 47,000 Pennsylvania school children are to receive vaccine free under the program of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Mattison pointed out that the supply available for use of private physicians during the coming polio season may not be sufficient to immunize everyone who wishes the protection. He recommended use first for young children and pregnant women because the prevalence of the disease in expectant mothers and young children is greatest.

WESTERN EUROPE HAILS VACCINE smaller scale." NOTE OF CAUTION LONDON, April 12 (P Western Europe tonight hailed the results of the Salk polio vaccine tests, but researchers cautioned that a vacIcine effective in the United States might not prove as safe and potent in Europe. Several countries announced plans for pushing their own antipolio programs. A spokesman for Britain's, Medical Research Council the results of the Salk tests were "most promising and arrangements have been made for out a similar test here--although on a much He added this note of caution: "There is no proof that what is effective in the United States will also be effective here. Viruses of the disease differ in various parts of the world and the vaccines to combat them must naturally differ, too." A Ministry of Health spokesman said Britain would be "ready with plans for the wider use of polio vaccines just as soon as vaccines which have been proved as safe and effective in this country are available. This stage has not been reached." In Paris, Prof.

Pierre Lepine, a member of the French Academy of Medicine and head of the virus service of the Pasteur Institute, disclosed that France soon will be turning out an antipolio vaccine of its own. SAME PRINCIPLES He said the French vaccine was developed along the same principles as Salk's, but, differed in details of formula fabrication. This was done to adapt it to polio conditions in Europe which are not the same as in the United States, Lepine said. He asserted "Only material reasons have delayed production of a French ch vaccine." He said the vaccine was tested on children a ago "proved its perfect effectiveness." DOCTOR'S MOTHER IS OVERCOME BY NEWS NEW YORK, April 12 (P)-Dr. Jonas E.

We saw this The father, Daniel, 65, a retired clothing designer, added: have words. I just feel great." Mrs. Dora Salk, 65. mother of the Pittsburgh researcher, was in tears as she told reporters at the parents' apartment here: "We knew for some time, for a year and a half.

When he inoculated the vaccine in his own family, that was the proof. My son would never do anything he was not sure of." Dr. Salk inoculated his wife and three boys, Peter, 11; Darrell, 7, and Jonathan, 5, more than a year ago.

But this method wasn't fast enough. The jam of reporters pushed forward, demanding copies -quick. People and deadlines were waiting. PENNY SCRAMBLE Messengers began grabbing hands full of reports and tossing thom into the air. Newsmen started diving for copies.

So did the newshens. It was like an old fashioned penny scramble. Then there was a mad rush for telephone, teletypes and microphones. Reporters bulletined: "The vaccine works." Photographers and newsreel men captured the wild scene. They shot their pictures while standing on anything available- window sills, table tops, chairs, and chairs on top of tables.

When a degree of calm had returned, a meeting of doctors and scientists was held in the building's theatre. There was no emotional outbreak there, except a standing ovation for Dr. Jonas E. Salk. Outside, curious students stood around, books under arms, watching the commotion.
