ELKS FUN NIGHT - TONIGHT WHY NOT ELKO WITH MURPHY HIS DONUTS AND BLACK-OUT COFFEE Dining Room Will B Closed Wednesday Evenings To Moke Room For Fun Night ELKS Army Identifies Body Of Wartime Correspondent TOKYO Wl The Army has iden tified the body of AP Correspond ent William R. Moore nearly five years after he was killed in des perate American fighting to check a Korean Communist drive on Pu san. Moore died July 31, 1950, at the age of 40. He had dropped his pen cil and notes to help care for the wounded of an American tank pla toon, overwhelmed by Red forces near Chinju, about 50 miles west of Pusan. The Army's graves registration laboratory at Okokura, Japan, made the identification, which was confirmed officially in Washington. The small tank force, which Moore had joined the day before he died, was on a bluff and recon naissance mission to find where the Reds were and how strong thev were. The fight in which Moore and most of the platoon's men lost their lives established for the first time that the Korean Reds were end running far to the south of the Taeion battle in which Maj. Gen. W'Uiam Dean was captured. The Red purpose was a try for a quick capture of Pusan before American reinforcements could ar rive. A Marine force later stopped the drive.

VACCINE ESTIMATE SEATTLE A drug firm; executive estimated here Tuesday that the cost of Salk vaccine for: any child who does not receive it at school will cost about $20. The estimate Is based on about $5 for the vaccine and $5 caeh for three inoculations by a doctor. to. Activities Salk Vaccine Will Be Made Available Later For Adults ' ANN ARBOR, Mich, to Th4 Salk vaccine, success of which was formally announced Tuesday can protect adults as well, but a call to "give the children priority" was sounded by Dr. Dwight H. Murray, Napa, Calif., chairman of the American Med ical Assn.'s board of trustees. Enough vaccine to inoculate 30 million children with three shots each a complete course is ex pected to come pouring from phar maceutical houses. Dr. Salk, on the basis of new findings, urged that only two shots be given this summer. , This would expand the available supply to make enough available for 45 million about the entire population of children under 10 years of age. He finds that given two 3hots, spaced two to four weeks apart, "primes" the human body to turn out antibodies to combat any invading virus. The third, or "booster" shot, should be given not earlier than seven months later, Dr. Salk said. It then pulls the trigger of the antibody mechanism to flood the bloodstream with anti bodies. Whether his recommendation will be followed it was too early to say. Dr. Salk said the fact that the three shots were given last year within a period of only five weeks may have explained some of the lack of protection among some vaccinated children. Another rea son for lack of complete protection among vaccinated youngsters was that some batches of vaccine weie over-treated, or their potency knocked down by a preservative chemical. Tuesday's great announcement climaxes an often frustrating search for a weapon to strike back at polio. If encompasses years of drama, of stubborn courage, tears and fears, of blind anger against destroyer, white hospital beds, pulsing iron lungs, the quiet of scientific laboratories, and 'tie imaginative, trained minds of doz ens of scientists. Dr. Francis revealed his report at a meeting of 400 scientists and Gunman's Death, Ends Horror Plot LOUISVILLE, Ky. W Three hours of horror for a mother and her children and a 20-year-old grudge ended in death Tuesday for a mad gunman. Guy C. Shearer, chairman of the Kentucky State Alcoholic Eever age Control Board, fired the shct that finished the revenge plot of Thomas Fay Rcdfern, 35, short of its objective. After holding Mrs. Shearer and her three children as hostages, Redfern sat down to discuss his mission with Shearer, Police Chief Carl Heustis and Dr. S. Spafford Ackerly, a psychiatrist who had befriended him several years ago. Shearer, who had flown to Louis' ville from his office at Frankfort, listened as Redfern, flushed with anger, reminded him of an arrest 20 years ago when Shearer was a probation officer. "I want compensation for what you've done," Redfern cried. He reached for a gun in his belt. Heustis lunged across a desk and felled Redfern with a flying tackle. Dr. Ackerly grabbed the man's gun hand by the wrist and forced it floorward. Shots rang out in Shearer's fash ionable East Louisville home and Redfern went limp with a bullet through the heart. Shearer had fired a pistol ob tained from a stats trooper as he entered his home. Police wilh heavy arms and tear gas surrounded the place after Shearer got word from Redfern by telephone that his family was being held hostage to await his arrival.
