...last week's sick list: Colorado's brainy Republican Senator Eugene D. Millikm, 64, ailing with a "digestive upset" in the capital; roly-poly Industrialist Henry J. Kaiser, 73, bedded in Honolulu after suffering slight injuries when he fell in his bedroom in the dark...
Most available vaccine will probably continue to be distributed free during 1956 (doctors usually charge a fee for administering the injections privately). Some states, e.g., Illinois and Colorado, have decided to freeze out commercial vac cine for the present, distribute their entire allotment free. Others are increasing their allotment of commercial vaccine. The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, which provided the free vaccine for first-and second-grade school children in 1955, has stopped distributing vaccine, although some of its vaccine is still being used. The Government's $30 million vaccine grant to the states is available only until...
...schools into public-health clinics and the offices of general practitioners and pediatricians. Polio shots are being tied in with general immunization programs. Yet many parents are showing little initiative about having their children inoculated, despite doctors' pleas that now is the best time to do it. In Colorado, where 300,000 children still need shots, only about 35% of the free vaccine allotted to private physicians has been reported used. Demand is well below expectations in Georgia, where 700,000 children have yet to get their first shots. Parents have failed to take advantage of available vaccine...
Atoms & Responsibilities. In 1955 the Government loosened its tight hold on the development of nuclear energy. Encouraged to go it alone, power companies poured $150 million into half a dozen nuclear power plants with up to 250,000 kw. capacity. On the Colorado Plateau alone, the new demand for uranium built the fledgling industry into a $100 million mining complex. Yet for all the expansion and new-found reserves, the uranium deposits uncovered so far, estimated the Atomic Energy Commission, will last the U.S. only until...
...lined up an artillery regiment, two cavalry regiments, the capital's police force and an infantry battalion for the revolution. Stroessner hastily secured the loyalty of two cavalry regiments, the presidential guard battalion, an infantry regiment and Paraguay's two-gunboat navy. Politicos of the dominant Colorado party, who have developed a phenomenal sensitivity for this sort of thing, carefully studied the lineups and threw in with Stroessner. Without a shot having been fired, Mendez conceded, at least for the moment. The crowds in the streets of Asuncion went happily back to their Christmas shopping...
