This primary obligation also constitutes the largest financial load of the National Foundation headquar ters; perhaps as much as $33,500,000 may be needed for patient care this year, he said. I The vaccine field trials and the greatly expanded gamma globulin pro gram will take up to $26,500,000 by the end of the year. Add to all this, he noted, continued research, training of doctors, nurses, physicial therapists . and other professional workers, im- > proved treatment techniques, medical and community services, and adminis trative costs of operating 3,100 chap ters, state offices and national head quarters will take $19,800,000. “The 1954 March of Dimes raised j $55,000,000 —yet this falls at least J $20,000,000 short of meeting the mini mum needs of the current year for po lio prevention and patient care,” Buff jlap said. “Polio incidence throughout , the nation is disturbingly high.
