Critics of Prouty's proposal denounced it as fiscal profligacy. Florida Democrat George Smathers warned that it would "feed the fires of inflation." Asked Rhode Island Democrat John Pastore: "How can we have our cake and eat it too?"

In Michigan's Isabella County, after an outbreak in which 92 cases were reported-and 900 suspected-2,076 children were vaccinated in a drive that ended last week.
