Earlier, a House Commerce subcommittee unanimously approved a Democratic sponsored bill to allot Federal funds to the states for free polio vaccine for children. The bill the polio is more liberal than vaccine program re- quested by President Eisenhower, but less liberal than a biil being pushed by Democrats in the Senate. THE HOUSE bill would provide direct grants to the states for needy children.

These grants would be enough to provide free vaccine for 25 per cent of the unvac-cinated children. Second, the bill would provide further Federal grants on a 50-50 matching basis with Oie states. No limit was set on the money a state could get. RESEARCH the Health Service is considering includes: 1 Possible use of "other" strains of polio virus in the vaccine. The Salk vaccine uses the "Mahoney" strain as a preventive against "type 1" polio.

Inclusion of the Mahoney strain has been criticized by some virolcgists on the ground it is too virulent. 2 "Improved tests for potency" of the vaccine and "the improvement of monkey safety tests." 3 Studies on "standardization of tissue culture susceptibility to poliomyelitis virus." Tissue cultures are materials employed both for the growth of virus for vaccine and for test ing the vaccine itself.
