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.

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.
He urged closer cooperation be
tween federal and other public
agencies in evolving overall plans.

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.

Girls Become Boys
When Tresses Cut,
Dresses Removed
KENOSHA, Wis. 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. BURNS PROVE FATAL

Boxcar Situation
Will Be Aired
Before Committee
WASHINGTON to The nation
wide boxcar shortage and com
plaints of railroad discrimination
against certain sections of the
country, will be aired before a
Senate subcommittee when Con
gress reconvenes.
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.

Reports Of Intimidations
Of Reporters To Be Probed
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, m
Rep. John E. Moss (D-Calif)

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

SLOW MOTION ACCIDENT
WACOTex. (i) Most traffic

Wilson had a blowout and pull

change the tire. But one side of

Wilson sat back and watched as

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."
