Back then, "CDC" stood for "Communicable Disease Center": http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00042732.htm. It wasn't until 1970 that it changed to "Center for Disease Control" and then in 1981 became "Centers for Disease Control and Prevention" (note the plural).

Despite the name changes, things sure haven't changed much, huh!
