6D No More Until 1958 Red Cross Forwards GG To Stem Measles Surge The American Red Cross is sending the State Health Department an emergency allocation of 4,660 cc’s of gamma globulin immediately, to help in combatting Utah’s severe measles epidemic. The department was so advised Thursday in a telephone call from Sen. Wallace F. Bennett and by telegram directly from Red Cross headquarters in Washington, D.C. This was in response to an urgent appeal sent to the Red Cross Wednesday by Dr. A.A. Jenkins, director of communicable disease control, who pointed out that the state’s supply of GG was exhausted. The Red Cross telegram said: “After completing obligations to all states for the first quarter we are fortunate to be able to make an exception because of your extreme emergency. We are sending you 2,330 2-cc vials of gamma globulin, which is the remainder of your 1957 allocation. You understand, of course, that because we must be fair to all states we will not be able to ship further amounts of gamma globulin to you until after Jan. 1, 1958. Dr. Jenkins had asked that Utah be given its entire 1957 allocation at the present time because of the need for the material in the current epidemic. He is trusting that no more urgent need will arise during the rest of the year. The Red Cross gave no indication as to when the GG will be shipped, or from what point. It is expected, however, that it will arrive within a few days by air express. Dr. Jenkins said it will then be necessary to formulate a distribution policy to assure that the limited supply of the material will be used to best advantage.
