WASHINGTON —(II— The government Satur-
bny launched a program to distribute *30 million
Id tea states for their SaJk polio vaccine programs.
The funds will be delivered between now and
next Feb. 15 under a bill signed info law by Pre-
sident Eisenhower Frida)’.
The measure authorizes federal grants to the
states of enough funds to provide free vaccine
for one-third of thelr still unvaccinated children
;aM expectant womens ' •
This will cost about $50 million. But Congress,
when it came to putting up the actual cash, voted
only ISO million as the government’s share.
Each state’s share of the *30 million allotment
was determined by a formula based on the num-
ber of still unvaccinated persons in the state,
the cost of the vaccine and the state’s per capita
