THURSDAY. APRIL 28. 105.5 Salk Vaccine Halted As 8 Contract Polio . WASHINGTON, April 27 VP)—The far-flung campaign to immunize America's chil dren against polio ground to a halt in some areas of the nation tonight after eight chil dren, treated with one company's output of Salk vaccine, were reported to have contracted the disease. The U.S. Public Health Service emphasized there was no cause for alarm, but clamped a Stop order oh vaccine made by the Cutter Laboratories of Berkeley, Calif. • All the vaccine made by the company Was ordered withdrawn, while two public health experts rushed to the Berkely laborator ies to join company officials in a study aimed at determining whe ther the ,accine was faulty. Authorities said there was no evidence that it was. The stop or der, they declared, was purely precautionary. It was sated that the stricken children, one of whom died, may have been among those tor whom Salk vac cine is not effective. Virus Assumed Dead Infantile paralysis normally has an incubation period of ten to 14 days before it takes hold. Most of the stricken children showed symtoms of the disease within a week after inoculation. The virus in the vaccine is presumably dead, but one public health offi cial said that if a vaccine con taining live virus were used it was conceivable though not prov en that the disease could• show up in less than the ten-14 day normal incubation period. Much of the Cutter vaccine was used for mass inoculations in sev eral Western states, but some of it found its way as far East as New England, New York state and Virginia. Mass Inoculations California, Idaho, Arizona and New Mexico stopped vaccinating school pupils until the Cutter vac cine is run through tests in gov ernment laboratories. The city of Philadelphia also cut off its pro gram temporarily for safety's sake, although using the vaccine of a different company. Cutter Laboratories said it had made shipments for mass inocula tions of school children in parts of California, in Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho, Nevada and Ha waii Eisenhower Optimistic (Continued from pdye one) Bisenhower listed Russia's re cent decision to accept an Aus trian peace treaty as one hopeful peace sign ,today.

David J. McDonald, president of the 1,250,000-member union, said notices were mailed out yes terday to "06 basic steel and min ing firms." Just how much of a pay hike the union will ask will be de termined by its powerful 170- member wage policy committee. That group will be called into ex ecutive session later—probably next month, The wage talks are permitted great interest because steel finds its way into almost every phase of American life. The steel indus try has hinted that any pay hike will be offset by a price increase. May Raise Costs If the price of steel goes up ap preciably, it could .up the cost of automobiles, refrigerators, bridg es—thousands of things. The wage talks are premitted under a reopening clause in the basic contract signed last year. That pact—a two-year agreement —gave workers an hourly pack age boost estimated by the union at'l2 cents. Steelworkers now earn an average of $2.33 an hour. The reopening clause does not permit discussion of such subjects as • a guaranteed annual wag e, shorter work hours or working conditions. McDonald already has said these subjects will not be brought up. Open With U.S. Steel As in the past, the union ptoba bly will open the 1955 wage talks with U.S. Steel Corporation, the world's biggest producer an d. usually the pace setter in labor management matters. McDonald will bargain with stronger talking points than at any time since he succeeded the late Philip Murray as head of the union three years ago. Only yesterday, Big Steel an nounced record first quarter earn ings of $72,652,402 as compared to net income of $44,830,376 for the first quarter last year, Other firms are enjoying profitable pro duction.
