WASHINGTON. iAPJ- The gov- ernment clamped export controls Wednesday on the Salk polio vac- cine except to Canada. a step to- ward ensuring that enough will be available to inoculate North Am- erican children this year.

Otherwise the government back- ed away from any idea of federal control .of its distribution.

in Congress Senato Lister Hill, Democrat from Alabama. urged President Eisenhower to call a country-wide conference of health and pharmaceutical leaders to choke off any black market in the vaccine.

Hill made his suggestion to Welfare Secretary Oveta Culp Hobby. She said she doubted a black market would develop.

SAY'I "DBAMATIZE IT"

The Senator said he was qulted" by talk from experts of "the possibility that selfish in- dividuals might pay any price for a vaccine they might not need.”

Specifically Hill referred to a telecast Tuesday in which vac- cine's developer, Dr. Jonas E. Salk. and Dr. Thomas Francis Jr.. took part. Francis had just re- ported the vacclne safe and 00-in- 90 per-cent effective in preventing paralytic polio.

Hill said it would be tragic I a

single child should be crippled or die because "sortie adult had. for purposes of greed.” decided to build a black market in the Salk vaccine." He said a White House conference would dramatize some of the problems involved. Dr. Leonard A. Scheele. U. I. surgeon-general. said a govern- ment allocation system would probably add to a shortage.
