The Eli Lilly Co., one of the major producers of the vaccirte, will produce about 30 million cubic centimeters of the vaccine between now and July, he added. Dr. Herman N.. Bundesen, president of the Chicago Board of Health, said Tuesday Chicago’s vaccine supply has been practically used up and no shots are available at the moment.

Officials reported they have been unable to get the vaccine they needed for their citywide inoculation program. Postpones Trial Os Accused Communist INDIANAPOLIS (UP) - Federal Judg. Cale J.
