Polio Experts Give Green Light To Salk Vaccine By ALTON L. BLAKESLII AP Scitnct Reporter KANSAS CITY t Polio ex pprti say the green light ii on for full-scale production of safe, po tent vaccine through removal of a troublesome bottleneck. Simultaneously, they answered some doubts and questions raised by some health officers concerning the vaccine at a meeting of the American Public Health Assn. In essence, experts said there is no reason to doubt the efficien cy or safety of the Salk polio vac cine. One spiked a rumor that Ca nadians stopped making vaccine because they kept finding live vi rus in the vaccine. Dr. R. D. De Fries of Toronto said the reason was they're building a bigger plant to carry on a much bigger vacci nation program next year. Others, including Dr. Jonas E. Salk, who developed the vaccine, cited evidence that the vaccine could protect very young infants, that vaccination had nothing to do with the outbreak of this year's epidemic in Massachusetts, that use of even a single shot had dras tically reduced paralytic polio in the United Slates this year. But a couple of health officers held to their reservations that some inoculations of vaccine might have been the cause of spread of polio to other members of the fam ily. Virus experts disagreed, or said the assumption was by no means proved. Concern For Average Small Newspaper Told 'LUFKIN.

Forest's Use Determines Future Of Watershed DENVER LP A nationwide con ference of foresters was told this week that the manner in which privately owned forests are used or abused will determine the success of any national water shed program. W. C. Branch, assistant U.S. re gional forester in San Francisco, said about 75 per cent of the 4fil million acres of forest land in the country are privately owned. States own another 5 per cent and the re maining 20 per cent is under fed eral control. He addressed a conference of U.S. foresters concerned with wat er supplies. Branch pointed out that the av erage private holding is 62 acres and said these small individual units constitute the toughest prob lem in watershed planning.

AT Open Evsjry Fridoy From Now Till JEWELERS OWN D AND OPIKATD CHCDtr Sultan Announces Protectorate End Will Be Shortly RABAT, French Morocco I Sultan Mohammed Ben Youssef announced here that the approach ing end of the French protectorate in Morocco. He told a wildly cheering crowd before his palace he had reached agreement with the French gov ernment on "essential principles" which would open a new era of freedom for Morocco. His eldest son, Prince Hassan, who acts as the sultan's political adviser, quoted him as saying: "We are glad to announce the end of the period of protectorate and guardianship." There were differences of inter pretation about what the sultan meant by this statement. The pro tectorate, established in 1912. can not be ended except in agreement with France. The sultan spoke to about 70,000 during celebrations of the 28th an niversary of his accession to the throne. He returned to Morocco only two days ago after more than two years of exile. The sultan promised his people a representative democratic gov ernment, free elections, a consti tutional monarchy, and equal cit izenship rights for all of every faith. He also promised to guarantee the rights of Frenchmen living in the country as long as they re spect Moroccan sovereignty. When he spoke of his friendship with the French and praised their contribution to the country's pros perity, the crowd applauded to the surprise of French observers. Earlier Friday leaders of two major nationalist parties refused to disavow a campaign of terror ism that helped restore the sultan to his throne.

I Two young brother shorn of their waist lensth blond, curly hair and divested of girls' clothing for pos sibly the first time in their lives faced life now ai boys. Pimled welfare officials, mean while, investigated to determine why the parents of the two boys, 15 and 11, were apparently raising them as girls. The parents, unnamed by au thorities until the investigation is completed, said they saw nothing wrong in having their bovs wear curls and not attending school. The father said he was from the south and reported his wife was from downstate Illinois. Miss Janet Theleen. Kenosha County juvenile probation officer heading the investigation, said the Karen Is will face a Juvenile Court earing. No other charges were filed, she said. Th situation came to light last week when a local hotel noti fied authorities that it had found the boys and their mother huddled in the same bed in a darkened, unhealed room. The hotel manage ment said they had been living in the room about a month and sel dom left it. One of the boys oc casionally went out for bakery goods. The boys wearing girls' clolh ing when found in the room were taken to a hospital for examina tion for signs of malnutrition. Their mother was in a hospital room at the Kenosha County jail. The father told police long hair was a tradition in his family and said his hair was not cut until he was 18. He reported he was employed as an instructor at an automobile driving school in Chi cago, about 55 miles south of Ke nosha.

Chairman Warren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.) said here that he will name a subcommittee of the Sen ate Interstate Commerce Commit tee to conduct the investigation. He said he would name the group immediately after Congress meets in January. During the last year, the sen ator said, he has received a "con stant flow" of complaints from shippers in all parts of the coun- try. contrary 10 me irequeni sea sonal complaints which accom pany the harvest season, Magnu son said letters indicate the box car shortage it a year - around problem. The most recent complaint came Wednesday when Sens. Morse and Neuberger, Oregon Democrats, ac cused the Southern Pacific Rail road of discriminating against lum ber plants in Western Oregon where it operates as the sole car rier. They said the Interstate Com merce Commission had failed to take any action to correct the situ ation. Lumber plants in the area, Morse and Neuberger said, are operating at "25 to 50 per cent of capacity" becaust of the car shortage. Magnuson previously has said the committee would introduce in January whatever legislation it it might consider necessary to cure the car shortage problem, on which it held other hearings during the summer.

I Mon., Nov. 21, 1955 Tht Reports Of Intimidations Of Reporters To Be Probed COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, m Rep. John E. Moss (D-Calif) said here his House subcimmit tee on government information plans further investigations into reports of intimidations and re prisals of news reporters by fed eral officials. "1 am speaking about flagrant episodes where federal officials have tried to intimidate reporters by Improper use of the FBI or Powr Sites All To B Developed By Year 1975 PORTLAND liB All major Northwest water power sites will be developed by 1975 and after that additional power will come increasingly from nuclear energy. That was the forcast made here by E. C. Starr, chief engineer for the Bonneville Power Administra tion. He reported the long range outlook for the region'! power use at a meeting of Bonneville custom ers, including public and private utilities ana large inaustnes. The report was based on a study i made in a co-operative effort be tween the Pacific Northwest Pow-I er Co., the Puget Sound Council i of Private and Public Utility, the Grant county, wasn., ruonc util ity District and BPA. The estimated 1975 power loads, by regions, were: Puget Sound 7.510,000 kilowatts, Portland 3.440, 000.

(i) Most traffic accidents happen fast. But it took five hours for L. O. Wilson's big trailer truck lo overturn. Wilson had a blowout and pull ed onto the road shoulder to change the tire. But one side of the trailer began sinking into the soft dirt. Wilson sat back and watched as the big trailer, over a five-hour period, settled on its side "as gent ly as if you had laid it down with your hands." Nws - Rviw, Roseburg, Oro. 9 other investigative g e n e i i." Moss told The Associated Press Managing Editors Assn. conven tion. He said in his prepared speech the subcommittee hearings to date already have uncovered a "Dan gerous and surprising concept an assertion by government de partments that they intend to pro tect the public by not letting the people know what i going on." Along with studying complaints of intimidation and reprisal Moss said the committee also will "look into the refusals of information to Congress, and the effect of this withholding upon American busi ness, industry and the sciences." Hearings resume next January. The laws should be changed, the California congressman declared, lo clarify the many variations of interpretations of laws and claimed inherent powers of the agencies. He said witnesses have testified their departments have kept in formation from the public for 100 years and they could not see any reason to open their records now. Others claimed there were no laws specifying that information has to oe made. public. "For the first time I heard as serted a very strong inherent right within the executive branch of government to keep information from the people. That is a new concept of law." Moss said. He told the editors that agencies testifying at the previous hearings displayed a great variance of opin ions on just what right the public has to information about federal government activities and the in terpretation of laws. But the pattern clearly demon strated, he said, that the emphasis was on "freezing rather than the freeing of information." HELP (or Coughs You feel coding, toothing help from the very first dose.
