Soviet Asks U.S. to Join
European Atomic Pool
( By STANLEY JOHNSON
MOSCOW I The Soviet Union proposed Friday a Europe-wideJ
organization to control peaceful uses of atomic energy including Com
munist and non-Communist nations. Both the United States and the
Soviet Union would belong.
The organization would replace a West European oreaniiatlon
now being developed, known as Kuratom. This is to pool the atomic
resources 01 i ranee, west oer
many, Italy, The Netherlands.
Belgium and Luxembourg.
The Soviet Union charged that
Euratom would be a tool of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion, make more permanent the
division of Germany, and enable
the Germans eventually to pro
duce atomic weapons.
The Soviet Union disclosed its
proposals in a note to the embas
sies of the United States, Britain,
France and so-called "neutral"
nations, including Switzerland and
Austria.
The proposal is reminiscent of
the Soviet call during the Big Four
summit conference in July ",5
for a general European treaty on
collective security to supplant
NATO.
Russia has agreed with the
United States and other countries
to set up under United Nations
auspices an international agency
for the peaceful development of
atomic energy. An M-nation con
ference will meet in New York in
September to consider a charter.
In addition, Communist coun-,
tries announced last March their
own atomic organization the
United Institute of Nuclear Re
search. Euratom is in the treaty drafting-phase.
The French national
assembly this week approved
French participation. The plan.
was approved in principle by the
six governments in May.

carried a crew of 10, and its pas

nine officers, and six civilians.

of the passengers had not releas

Only six were thrown clear.

Eligibility Increased . to 29
Another 200.000 persons became eligible for polio Inoculations
Friday when the Oregon State Board of Health voted to raise the
liimt for commercial vaccine ti 29.
. At the rasne time the board, holding an all-day meeting in Salem,
authorized Slate Health Officer Harold M. Erirkson, with- the advice
of the Polio Advisory Committee to remove the limit altogether or
reduce it, depending on the vac
cine supply.
Announcement of the new policy
signaled a renewed effort by the
board doctors and public officials
lo get eligible persons Inoculated
before the polio season begins. -
Leading off the campaign was
Gov. Elmo Smith who recom
mended parents "take advantage
of the available supply of vaccine
well before the height of the polio
season so that as many children
as possible can be vaccinated be
fore Sept. 1."
"Oregon has an adequate supply
of Salk vaccine on hand now and
can get additional supplies if
needed. Rough estimates show
that only about 300,000 Oregonians
have received one or more shots
out of the 577.905 persons thai are
at present eligible," the governor
said.
Marion County's heslth officer.
Dr. Willard Stone, said he was
unable to estimate just how many
county residents were affected by
the new ruling.
Increased quantities nf the vac
cine coupled with a backlog of un
used supplies accounted, for the
raised age limit, health officials
said.
Oregon citizens are using only
about one-fourth of the tax-purchased
and commercial vaccine
available, officials said. This could
result in a transfer of Oregon's
allotment nf, vaccine to other
slates where the demand is great
er, or, within the stale.
