Future of Polio Foundation The National Foundation for Infantile Partlysis can take great credit for the Salk vaccine now acclaimed as the reliable pre ventive of polio. The Foundation for many J W Ml J llUd VTU V . kilt. v& 111V American people research to discover just such a safeguard. In addition it has expended large sums to aid . in treatment ' of those afflicted with the disease. 'Assuming the continued success of the Salk vaccine and the swift erasure of the polio menace the Foundation could very well wind up its affairs and dissolve. A United Press reporter, Delos Smith, quotes Basil O'Connor, president of the Foundation as telling him that the trustees had decided the Foundation, could not be dissolved "be cause an organization of such efficiency and scale was too big a force for public good." What tht trustees wanted to do was to witch to some other cause, -"say mental health." -However, already there are other organi zations working in special fields of disease, including mental health. They may have been envious of the success of the NFIP in raising funds, for their own resources have been comparatively meagre. They may not want to be superseded by the polio organi zation. The Foundation will have a func tion in the polio field for some time to come, helping care for those .already afflicted and aiding in providing" vaccine for inoculation. If a switch is made to some other field we hope that the Foundation will not carry along the ultra-aggressive methods it has employed in raising funds. True, the cause was worthy, and good results are definitely visible. But the pressure system used to extract dimes- and dollars gave offense to many people. The refusal of the Foundation to . join in consolidated money-raising cam paigns cost it friends if not dollars. If the organization decides to continue we hope it will, be more of a conformist body than it has been the pas.t 20 years. Speed ... and Time The Eugene Register Guard has installed the AP Photofax which transmits pictures at high speed the print is reproduced with in eight minutes after transmission of the Picture begins. (The Statesman-Journal in stallation is due in September.) The R-G editor,, commenting on this in vention, says: J Let your imagination run wild. Think of what a process like thij can mean. Think of how it may change the ways we learn of things that happen in what used to be called "far away places." Yes, pictures now may ride along with the news. That may 'permit scaling down the copy; according to the old ratio "a picture is worth a thousand words." Maybe the pic tures will be better than the news; that one by Joe Rosenthal of the marines raising the American flag on ML Surabachi was. In this age of high speed the virtually instan taneous transmission of pictures will be of great value in the business of communica tion. But speed offers no measure of value. The greatest values, as in art, are those that stand the test of time. : ' : j "Do row hart anything tor a grit that doesn't look likt H was bought m a raiiroaa station . . . Hells Canyon Plebiscite - , Rep. Maurine Neuberger has proposed a r plebiscite in Oregon on whether the people prefer federal to private development of power on Snake River (Hells Canyon). Mrs. Neuberger knows of course that such a reso lution would have no binding . force. The next election is not scheduled until Novem ber, -1956 ?nd by that time the irrevocable decision will have been made by Congress or the FPC. Moreover, Oregon is not the only state at interest in the matter. Idaho seems to claim a priority to use of waters of Snake River, and Washington has shown great concern over its power development Then it is the people of the whole USA who would have to put up the money for financing a federal project. Perhaps Maurine can influence her husband. Sen. Richard Neuberger to propose a plebiscite in which all the people of the country would vote on the question. In that event federal power would be sure ; to fail judging - by the grumblings over national financing of re gional development A state Legislature committee has endorsed a bill which would provide driving education courses for Oregon schools j tions with state financial aid. This comes on the heels of final legislation which kicked out state-required physical education courses in schools. This means (doesn't it?) that an enterprising school could drop the physical education and substitute the driver training course. And kids could still get plenty of physical exercise in the driver training courses i.e., wrestling in the back seat, sprinting from traffic light to traffic light, running from cops, trying for a four-second mile, etc. ...

ROBERTS Associated Press Newt Analyst Despite suggestions not pressed by the Eisenhower administration there is no indication at the United Nations that the Formosa situation will again come up for discussion there any time soon. Two months ago the Security Council took up the matter. It re ceived two proposals. New Zealand, representing the opinion of the Western Allies, pro posed negotiations looking toward a formal cease fire arrangement in the Formosa Strait, and Com- j munist China was invited to send a delegation to discuss it. At the same time Russia sought priority for discussion of with drawal of all foreign troops from Formosa. Since this would have included, in the Russian view, even the Chinese Nationalist troops. amounting to surrender of the island, the suggestion got short shrift in the council. Peiping made a bitter reply to the invitation made under the New Zealand proposal. The Reds said they would come only if the Rus sian proposal was given priority, and only if the Chinese National ists, who hold a permanent, Securi ty Councils seat ander the postwar "Big Five" arrangement, were ousted from the negotiations. . The council threw up its hands and relegated the subject; to the tender mercies of private hegotia- which have produced nothing. Apparently the State Department discussed with New Zealand the possibility of introducing an anti force resolution in the U. N. .and then dropped the idea before Adlai Stevenson brought it up ! publicly Monday night. Britain was' report ed to have advised against further U. N. discussion until after the Bandung conference of Asian and African states next week, !

Ann oo,- THIS IS AMERICA The decision of the State Department to re-' lease 76 Chinese students and speed them on their way back to Red China can be no more welcome to them than to a great majority of the American people. So long as they were detained against their will, they prompted feelings of guilt in the Amer ican conscience, a sense of shame that this Na tion should stoop, even in reprisal, to the out rageous practices of Communist China. The holding of hostages is z relic of the Dark Ages, a vestige of barbarism, and has no place in the diplomacy of a free and enlightened world. It is hoped that the belated release of the Chinese students will inspire the Chinese government to restore some 56 U.S. citizens to freedom; even if it does not it was a step that needed taking. vcii.ciii.ijr .nllij - f.

But the signs do not as yet suggest that the decision on this vital mat ter can be put off indefinitely.

President Eisenhower is going to have to make up his mind whether to defend Quemoy and the Matsus some time this spring, probably between late May and late June. Nothing is more purely spec ulative of course than specula tion about enemy timetables and intentions. In the present cast, moreover, the evidence seems to v point two ways. But on this very conflict of evidence, the experts here and in Hong Kong have built a rather persuasive theory of the probable Chinese Commu nist plan of action. Considering first the evidence itself, m one side there is the fact the Peiptag's "liberate Tai. wan" drams have now bees 'rather completely mnffled. The, play dw was graftal. Bat by about three weeks ago, the theme thai once was screened from ev ery Chinese Comnmntst radio bad almost ceased to be beard any longer. "Liberate Taiwan" gave place to prolonged and venonona denudations of American "colo nial Intervention" in Indochina and Asia generally. . ( On the other hand, the physical preparations for an attack on the offshore islands have continued to go forward apace. The troop concentrations in the neighbor hood of the Matsus . have been measurably strengthened. The enemy artillery ringing Quemoy has been strengthened too. and there are ominous reports jaai it may now include sixteen inch naval euns which can destroy Above all, the air pattern has grows more menacing. By extra ordinary efforts, Llochaa airfield, Jnst across the straits from the Tachen islaads, has beta rnshed to completion a month ahead of the earliest Siao-Amerieaa esti mate. Aad Llnchao Is several precious scores of miles closer to the Matsn Islands than nay other airfield in the big Checklang Kalangif air. complex. Ana as soon as It was finished, Llnchao was occupied by a cotrple of sqaadroas of Mlf 15s. Intensive work has also begun on Foochow airfield, only 30 miles from the Matsus. The existing concrete runway is 6,000 feet long and only needs an addition of a mere 1,000 to 1.500 feet Hence it seems possible that this extension and the basic repairs of the old runway will be com pleted by the end of May. The combination of Llnchao and Foochow airfields, in tnra. will give the Communists a wholly new air capability over the- Mat sus. Before Llnchao airfield was finished, their relatively short range MIgs could Jnst reach the Matsas flviat: hixh cover. Liao chao. In itself, gives the Migs mac It more time over target. But when Foochow is also avail able Migs that get in a fight over the Matsus can continue the combat almost at will. Foochow will always be there, to provide them with the minimum fuel for the trip back to their main bases . further North. j Tins the Cemmnnlst fightors win actually achieve a longer time over target, when they real ly need it, than the 'Chinese and American Formosabnsed F-Ut. And since Foochow will only be nsed for emergencies, n mini mus strain will be placed on tta . extremely limited soppfy Unes. Maybe these preparations are meaningless, although their po tential meaning is exceedingly ugly. It seems more likely, how ' ever, that the seeming conflict . between what the Communists are doing and saying is to be ex plained by two external facts, the . Bandung conference and the vis ible indecision in Washington.

Future plans call for sponsor- ine a course in dudiic aominis- tration through the general ex tension division next fall. ers, and especially the United States, to get out of Asia and stay out. The current Peiping propaganda line is obvionsly pre naration for the second half of this, program. Warlike acts or even talk be fore Bandung will only make Chou Enlai's task more difficult there. What could be more na tural, then, than to mute the "liberate Taiwan" propaganda, and to concentrate everything on securing a major success at Bandung? ies: Statesman Files any fortification on Matsu Island, egnition ot Cotnmnnist China as Of April ends with a big Chi nese saccess at Bandung, there wffl be the kind of general politi cal commotio the Communists know best how to exploit. And In a nsefuOy agitated atmosphere, attention caa be turned once more to the Formosa problem. Perhaps the thing will happen gradually, beginning with one plane reconnaissance sorties, go ing on to torpedo boat attacks on Chinese Nationalist supply ves sels and small test bombings, and then suddenly opening out into a major effort. This was the pat tern of the build up to the attack on Yikiangshan, at any rate. It has the great advantage of draw ing no sharp line where Washing ton must say "here we must fight or backdown." : Whether or not military prob , lag begins early, the experts think diplomatic maneuvers wfll surely start as soon as Bandung is out of the way.

Corsi said that in 17 months only 1,000 ref ugees had been admitted. Dulles claimed that Corsi sought to take over the administration of the law from Scott McLeod, but that the law itself vested ad ministration in the security offi cer, which is McLeod's position. He, accused Corsi of making reck less charges and Corsi certainly has been quite vocal in his criti cism of Dulles and McLeod. What may have happened was this: Administration of the refu gee law has proceeded at a molasses in January rate. The State Department was : getting criticised and so was McLeod Dulles thought to get in Corsi, an Italian - American Republican, with loyal personal following, as an expediter of the program. The McCarran-Walter act is highly discriminatory, as Eisenhower stated in urging its amendment. Corsi probably criticised the act, worked for its amendment and sought to speed up the processing of eligible refugees.
