Member Associated Press ' The Assoclateo Press is cnutlea exclusively to the use for republication of slJ local news printed la . this newspaper. - "Flying Manhole" A news picture .from . Palo Alto shows a man flying on a round metal platform. The device is a helicopter with no rotors visible. Instead of the appearance of a "grasshopper which is true of the conventional helicopter, this one resembles a rbjund, manhole cover with a man standing on it, inside a light metal rod frame. According to a writer in the San Francisco Chronicle the new ma chine "is capable of rising vertically and it ' can be. flown after one minute of training by either a child or his grandmother ... To fly the thing is easier than riding a bicycle or skating' The machine was shown at the Hiller Helicopter plant, and is a product developed with the assistance of the Navy. Underneath the platform are two counter-rotating fans enclosed in a circular casing. They suck in air through holes in the platform and thrust it out at the bottom. This "ducted fan" uses 'a new principle of lift and propulsion. Con trols are very simple. The driver can make it move forward, backward Or sideways merely by shifting his weight on the plat form. The gyroscopic effect of the whirling fans gives stability to the machine.- Years ago young Stanley Hiller of Cali fornia developed a new type of helicopter. Later he became interested, in the theories of an aircraft engineer 'named Charles Zim merman of Connecticut and induced him to join the Hiller staff. With the aid of the Office of Naval Research and advice from an Expert engineer the invention was com : pleted for trial. How far it will be devel oped for use" remains to be seen. There is still one" problem: how to reduce the pull of I gravity if the engines quit. Stevenson Asks Questions It looks to The Statesman as though Adlal Stevenson's Monday night address on foreign policy was pointed toward 1956, though he dealt with a subject, of immediate and vital importance. If he continued to ignore the President's conduct of affairs it would be difficult for him- to break out with criticism of he Eisenhower policies, come 1956. How ever, he, is at some embarrassment because members of his own party with two or three exceptions, voted to approve the resolution which j justifies in advance our possible in volvement in war in the Orient. It was the veteran Senator sGeorge, Democrat, chairman of the foreign relations committee, whose speech swung the tide strongly in favor of that resolution. iEven now, Senator Morse, seeking a retreat; from tha't policy statement before jit is too late, has received no support from the Senate Democratic organization. Stevenson avoided conflict with his party in Congress by asking pr5 vocative questions rather than condemning the administration policy. He admitted he had "grave misgiv ings" over the Tisk of world war arising from defense of the China islands, accused the administration of pursuing a dead-end policy in Asia and warned against weakening he grand, alliance by 'going solo in Asia., The questions Stevenson raised are perti nent. Some of them we have .raised our selves. He summed them up in this: "Are we, in short, prepared to face the prospect of war in the morass of China, possibly a global war, standing almost alone in a sullen or hostile world?" - That is a pointed one. It deserves the attention of the 8meriean people. It merits a full dress debate in Congress, not the hasty writing of a blank check !as was done by that body on the. recent Formosa resolution. That resolution is negative in character, pointing no way save by threat to any solu tion of the Asian power problem. Fortu nately President Eisenhower has shown great restraint in resisting the war hawks in and out of Congress. He needs, though, the clear voice of the people to support him against the pressures of groups who welcome a "showdown" fight with Communist China. By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst By going to work first on Aus tria's Chancellor Raab the Rus sians have handed out a good tip on the nature of the last desperate tactics they will use in an effort in nravant M9rmamnt nf Wnctorn Germany. . If their current efforts were di- - rwtnH Hacinallv at an Aucfrian settlement they would bypass Raab as ineffectual and go directly to the three Western powers with whom thev will have to settle in the long run. - They propose to do this, how ever, only after they have wrapped Raab up in some fine-sounding proposals which he will be politi cally required to urge upon the Allies. One such thing is the proposal for all foreign troops to withdraw from the former German satellite inreturn for a guarantee from the Vienna government that it will not join any alliance directed against any country which fought Hitler. The Russians would like to make neutralization of Austria major plank in the treaty. The West, with Austrian acquiescence, clings to the contention that Austrian inde pendence must be complete, as promised long ago, and that it cannot be so unless she has the right to make up her own mind about such things. The Russians obviously think, however, that if they can get a neutralized Austria they 'can then create quite a stir against rearm' amem in Germany dv proposing a similar status in return for reuni fication there. Some Western observers believe that in order to create such a situa tion with regard to the larger prob lem, the Russians might come up with Austrian proposals which could be accepted. Nearly aQ of the issues have been settled for a long time. One place where the Western Russians, however, is at an ex tremeley tender spot When the Russians talk about withdrawing Svajmm (mm A nr-f vi tHw mitct alut ..talk about withdrawing from the .Balkans, wherj their military forces are technically posted to guard the supply lines to Austrian occupation forces, but where they are actually the backbone of Com munist political control. On their side, the Russians are likely to counter this by demand ing an agreement that after Aus tria, negotiations will move on to consideration of the foreign armies in Germany. They already . have suggested that withdrawal must be the basis of a settlement there too. This would be almost as delicate a topic for the Allies as withdrawal Your Health By Dr. Herman N. Bnndesea M.D. TAKE THESE MEASURES TO RELIEVE NEURITIS Persistent pain is probably the chief symptom of neuritis. For tunately, there is a lot doctors can do to relieve that pain. There are many causes of mul tiple neuritis, and if we can deter mine the reason for the distress, we can use specific treatment. However, there are several gen eral measures we can take. whether we know the exact cause or not. ! Drugs, of course, are frequently used (o provide relief from neuri tis. Pain-relieving drugs taken by mouth three times a day, as pre scribed by your doctor, for ex ample, are frequently helpful. As for local application,'.! ad vise gentle rubbing of your af fected limb with methyl salicylate liniment. Then wrap it in flannel. Gentle massage is usually helpful, too. but don't begin any massage treatments while your muscles are still tender. Heat is important, both as a cute and to help relieve pain. During the acute stages, yon can use an infra-red lamp twice a day. Place the. lamp about two feet from your affected limb. Keep tie heat on it for about 15 to 30 minutes. Be very careful not to burn yourself. Another effective way of aooly ing heat is the Kenny' hot fomen tation. - Wet flannels - in boiling 4 r Imwm imii m France to Investigate TTr a n r- is opttinir nrnnnrl tn Jnvpsti ffatintr the causes, of the fall of Dien Bien Phu in Indochina. A year ago the siege of this fort ress in northern Viet Nam was front-page news. Its commander, Brig. Gen. Christian de Castries, was something of a hero after Eisenhower's nroddintf the French nromoted -him. As the increasing pressure of the at- tacking Viet Minh forces threatened Dien .Bien Phu the United States gave consider a 'tion to intervening in its defense.

Russia Coddling Austria Chancellor as First Step in Attempt to Force Allies Out of Reich Plain as Mud . . , The new Photofax process, by which photos received yia wire transmission from all parts of the -world are "positive" prints and therefore all ready for" engraving, aroused considerable interest in the Statesman-Journal plant last week. Permanent installation is expectable later when equip ment is available. In the meantime, The Statesman asked technicians for a brief layman-language de scription as to how the operation works. It uses the regular Wirephoto network, but conventional Wirephotos are received on photographic paper and must be processed before being used necessitating a delay. Technicians described the new process' as follows: "During transmission of Photofax copy,' ' electro-iensitive paper is drawn at a constant speed between a stainless steel writing edge and a rotating helix, a thin metal ribbon - wound spirally around a cylinder. Electric current is passed through the paper at its point of contact with the rotating helix, causing a chemical action which 'stains' the , paper with the authentic tones of the original picture. The joint movement of the paper and the helix causes the point of contact to traverse the paper in a series "of horizontal lines similar to the lines which build up the conventional Wirephoto picture printed on photographic paper." We are reasonably certain we don't under stand a thing about it, even yet. But per haps some of our scientific readers will, and in the meantime we'll await full-time opera tion so that everyone can see it. from the Balkans is for Russia. The whole pattern of Western Eu ropean defense has been built around Anglo-American guaran tees to keep their troops in Europe, (which means in Germany) to soothe French fears of a revived Germany. Theoretically, a neutralized Ger many would seem to take care of these fears automatically. Actual ly, nobody believes that a nation such as Germany will remain a military vacuum very long, no matter what agreements may be put on paper.

With becoming modesty he advertised him self as a "Photographer of Everything." Well, one of his first customers was a lady who wanted him to record pictorially the fact that her hus band had been straying from the home feeding trough. Despite the universal scope of his enterprise Joey turned her down, Which prompted his friends to suggest he change his slogan to "Photographer of Al most Everything." .... .

What causes a person to see tiny white spots before the eyes? My blood pressure and kid neys are all right . Answer: The appearance of spots before the eyes may be due to constipation, to a defect in the vision, to high blood pressure, or to migraine. In order to determine the cause of your difficulty, and . to have proper treatment prescribed, it would be advisable for you to con sult a physician.' . . the scientific world. One school believed that the only vaccine that would prove effective was one containing live virus. The other that a "killed" virus should be used. Dr. Salk wrote: : "I share the view that a killed virus vaccine not only avoids the hazards of live virus, but, if properly prepared and used, may be just as effective in producing immunity." The virus employed by Dr. Salk is rendered .noninfectious by a dosage of formaldehyde, i Live-virus vaccines are used to prevent smallpox and yellow fever; but it is recognized that such vaccination does not give lifetime immunity. Quoting again: i "The theory of the killed-virus vaccine rests on the well-estab-. lished fact that an inactivated virus, though it has lost the power to infect or multiply, may still act as an antigen stimulat ing the body to produce anti bodies against the specific vi rus." ; That seems to be what hap pens with injection of the Salk killed-virus vaccine. It stirs up the antibodies which combat any infection from live virus of po lio. For the full "booster" effect "a secondary dose would be giv en between four and seven months after the primary set of inoculations. The score as reported certain i ly vindicates use of the - Salk vaccine. Last year 440,000 chil oren were vaccinated and re sults among them compared with children that were not vac cinated. Of the vaccinated there were only 113 cases of polio and only 71 suffered from paralysis; no deaths. Of the 1,400,000 un- : vaccinated there were 750 prov en cases of polio; and 445 cases of paralysis. Deaths front polio in this group numbered IS. This year enough vaccine will be available to furnish two shots for 45 million persons. Prefer ence should be given children. , Organized programs for inocula ; uon ot cnudren nave been an nounced- subject of course to : parental approval. ' In addition physicians soon will be author ized to obtain the vaccine for use on their patients. For the first time the outlook is that polio will be banished as the great crippler of children, and of adults too, for it Is no re specter of persons. Just as vac cination-has pretty well driven out the once feared disease. smallpox, and other shots ward off dmhtheria and typhoid fever, now a vaccine will be available for protection against -infantile paralysis.
