These jthree high Governmental officials finite in saying that in not one 6f these cases has syphilis ever been transmitted by smallpox ^vaccine. They also point out that no vaccine cam be sold in intserstate traffic in the United States until it receives the stamp of Government approval. The same kind of vaccine used by private doctors in vaccinating their patients was used by the Government officials in the vaccinations,performed officially. The statement, the original of which is on file in the office of the Surgeon General of the U. S. Public Health Service «t; (Washington, reads as follows: v , Syphilis Not Caused Sjr Vaccination It haa come to "the attention of the undersigned that false statements are circulated that have caused some people to believe or fear that vaccination against smallpox may cause syphilis. Since the activities under our charge furnish direct evidence in refutation^ of this idea we have considered it our duty to issue a statement that. syphilization as a result of vaccination does not occur. Before the discovery of smallpox vaccine the only protection against the dangers of smallpox was by inoculating a person intentionally with the disease and thereby producing, in general, a milder attack than that contracted wljen smallpox was caught in a natural manner. In this way the, inoculation of syphilis along with "smallpox, was' fpttsStBte. This possibility also existed when vaccination first -supplanted smallpox inoculation, and was performed, as was smallpox inoculation, from the arm of one human subject to another.

Dur? ing this, same period the United States Public Health Service has a;lso vaccinated 2,918,748 persons in carrying out its quarantine, immigration, and hospital work. While the?

Furthermore, smallpox I vaccine, together with other vaccines land serums for human use, has been j deemed of suc^i importance by the j Government that its production fdlr | sale within the jurisdiction of the U.

Under this law all establishments producing smallpox vaccine for interstate sale must be licensed by the Secretary of the Treasury, upon the recommendation of the United States Public Health Service, and' the production is controlled by regulations drawn up by a board composed of the undersigned. These regulations provide for repeated inspections of the producing laboratories, for proper labeling, and for all safeguards which may be thrown about the making cf such an important product. At present even the placing of the vaccine in the small tubes and the • sealing of these tubes is required to be done in , such a way that no hand, even though • sterile, touches the vaccine.- Repeated examinations of the product, for safety, are required.

House to Vote on Two Bonus Bills While the House and Means committee voted to report favorably the Vinson bonus bill, It was agreed that the committee would also favor a proceedure that would permit the Patman bill to come up for a vote. Thus the House will be forced to choose between the two bills. It is expected that action will be taken late the coming week. Representative Vinson was called to Kentucky Friday by the illness of his mother and this may delay the calling up of the bill as "it hasbeen agreed to delay consideration until Mr. Vinson returns to Washington. That one of these bills will pass the House is generally -conceded. The only difference is that the Patman bill provides for issuing of hew currency to pay the bonus while the Vinson leaves the method of raising the funds to the U. S. Treasury. Congressional Highlights Adding more than $20,000,000. to the amount previously voted by the Houpe, the Senate passed an appropriation bill Friday granting nearly $400,000,000. to the War Department for its 1936 expenses. Around $60,- 000,000. is for rivers and harbors work, while the remainder is for the Army and other military activities. The extra $20,000,000. voted by the Senate is to provide for an increase of 46,000 in the regular army. The appropriation exceeds that for the current year by seventy millions and sets an all time high record for military expenditures in time' of peace. Both Senator Lewis and Senator Dieterich voted for the bill. - , Moanwhijte i£he Houaie appropriations naval sub-committee is considering a 1936 navy appropriation of $483,133,847. and the House Military Affairs Committee has reported favorably a bill providing for modernization 6f army equipment at a cost of $405,000,000. this sxim being proposed as an additional appropriation for the War Department.

A. codes so that only trades and industries actually engaged in interstate commerce. Senator Hastings, Republican member of the committee said that he was disappointed with the plans-as outlined by Mr. Richberg. Other senators of both parties said that the changes suggested did not go far enough to eliminate the obnoxious features of the present N. R. A. law, particularly in relation to small business and manufacturing concerns.„ Mr. Richberg was the first of a large number of witnesses who are to be called upon to present their views to the committee which is conducting an investigation as ordered by vote of the Senate before legislation to continue the N.
