...experts in Washington for a conference on allocation of vaccine and enforcement of any controls that might be ordered. Represented were her own department, the National Foundation, state and county health officers and medical societies, and the six firms licensed to manufacture the vaccine. Conference chairman was Dr. Chester Keefer, top medical aide in HEW. Assorted politicians, some labor unions and newspapers were clamoring for rigid federal centre's. But the conferees had been warned in advance that the Administration would not accept any such proposal...
...adds a quality of almost noble despair to the captain's sufferings. Van Johnson, who has hardened in recent years into a competent and calculating performer, brings off the square-headed Maryk surprisingly well. Fred MacMurray looks a little too dumb and stiff to be the fast-talking Keefer, but Jose Ferrer, so long as he is not required to do anything more than leer, is suitably aggressive as Barney Greenwald. E. G. Marshall has a fine stretch as the trial judge advocate...

...screenplay by Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin flashbacks on Florence and Chet Keefer (Judy Holliday and Aldo Ray) as they tell a sympathetic lady judge (Madge Kennedy) about the troubles that led them to the divorce court after seven years of marriage and two children. Among their problems: 1) Aldo was once late to pick up Judy for a party, 2) Judy lost a $2,600 radio jackpot because Aldo tipped her on the wrong tune title when she knew the right one all along, and 3) Aldo was jealous...
...about $16 a gram (average treatment: six to ten grams). Since the drug's discovery in 1944 by Rutgers' Microbiologist Selman A. Waksman, it has been tested against a wide variety of diseases by a National Research Council committee headed by Boston's Dr. Chester S. Keefer. Their report, in last week's Journal of the American Medical Association added up the results in 1,000 cases. Highlight of their report: streptomycin definitely can arrest tuberculosis, but it is too costly at present for practical general treatment...
