Diplomatic sources said Western experts will begin shortly prepar. ing a joint Allied plan for the uni fication of Germany within a broad European security system based on phased East-West dis armament. Russia Watns Price Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov made it clear yesterday that Russia wants the neutraliza tion of Germany on the pattern of the Austrian settlement, and that was the price the West would have to pay for a unified Germany. A rearmed West Germany is a keystone of Western policy in Europ eand the Allies believe it was this new strength that helped win the Austrian treaty. A high American official said the Soviet withdrawal from Aus tria marked a trend "which is going to have a profound effect on tne rest of Europe" and predicted it was a "general' moderation" of Soviet policy toward the slave nations under its thumb. Details of the Western concept for a German solution have so far remained secret. But informed sources said it included unification through free, supervised elections, phased disarmament between East and West in Europe and some system of non-aggression pacts . Molotov Conciliatory In the meanwhile the Western ministers will go ahead with prep arations for talks among the Big Four government heads and the subsequent conference of the for eign ministers to complete details.

The noted he had no full powers to approve the details of the pr iected conference "at the summit" and that he had to refer back for instructions.

Three Weekend Accidents Injure Six Persons in Central Oregon Seven persons were injured in three highway accidents over the week-end, including a spectacular skidding, pavement jumping and rolling mishap near Madras, a three-car crash outside of Red mond, and a near head-on colli sion between Lava Island . and Benham Falls. William B. Kurtz. 28, 8950 S.E. Lincoln St., Portland, sustained se vere head and chest injuries Satur day at 9:15 p.m. when his car skid ded some 300 feet on Highway 2G near the end of Mill Creek bridge while driving toward Madras. Tho car, apparently out of control, left the pavement, flipped upside down moving for 200 feet, and rolled for another 100 feet. Kurtz was found unconscious and pinned under the car by the Mad ras fire department ambulance unit, which took him to the Cen- Measure Gets Patterson Veto SALEM (UP) Gov. Paul L. Patterson today vetoed Senate bill 250 which would have provided for jury trial In any Municipal Court when a conviction of the of fense charged would subject the accused to more than 10 days hi jail or a fine of more than $100. Gov. Patterson said: "I do not pass upon the question of the wis dom of the state in providing jury trials in cities, but I do have spe cific objections to this law which I feel will confuse, rather thun correct the situation . , , the pres ent situation has been In opera tion for many years In the state of Oregon, and I do not feel that any emergency exists that would justify hasty action in this case. "My first objection is that the law exempts those cities which have provided by jury trials with in their charters. I recognize that a great many cities handle these things by ordinance. Therefore, 11 creates an unrealistic distinction between the cities." The governor said he also felt the law doesn't set forth In suffi cient detail provisions for drawing a jury panel; nor does It set forth machinery by which cities may correct or fill ommlsslons "that are quite apparent in this law, such as: jury fee, if any, time within which the request must be made In order to prevent delay" in trial, and fees to be paid the jurors. placing the boom had been loaned by Brooks-Scanlon, Inc., Leonard Lundgren Lumber Co. and Bend Iron Works, and preliminary work was scheduled at a time when the equipment would not be In use elsewhere, and its use In Mirror Pond co' ild be synchronized. (2) Early completion of the boom and platform was considered advisable to allow extra time for experimenting with a 3000-foot steel cable, which had been donated for use In towing the lighted floats. This would eliminate the necessity if having the floats pushed down the river by "longshoremen" witn lone piles. (3) New reinforced metal caps must be affixed to the pilings to prevent water damage, and it Is necessary that the boom be In place in order to work on the pil ings. ( The now pllines were sunk In the riverbed last year, and were cut off below the water level so as not to mar the natural beauty of the river scene.)

No. 137 ice recommended that "for the time being" the vaccine should be administered only to children of . the most susceptible age group, five through nine years' old. Once the federal voluntary pro gram goes Into effect, Mrs. Hobby will direct division and allocation among states of the entire output ' of the vaccine on the basis of the five through nine population in each state. . Shortuge Exists "There will be a shortuge of the vaccine for several months," Mrs. Hobby said as her plan was . an nounced at the White House. She said only a voluntary plan of priorities and distribution could be mobilized "fast enough to he effective during this . temporary period of shortage. 'The program meets the Presi dent's objective of getting all safe vaccine to American children as rapidly as' possible end assures that no child will be denied vac- . cination because of inability to pay, she said. The White House said that ns a result of the report, plans are being made to ask Congress for an additional two million dollars for the Health, Education and Welfare Department to conduct the vaccine program, particularly for "vigor ous enforcement" of laws prohibit ing sales of the vaccine outside authorized channels of prescription drugs. ' Aid To States Legislation prepared by the de partment also will ask Congress for about 28 million dollars to help states purchase tho vaccine for the program to go Into effect following . completion of the foundation's free immunization. These federal funds would be used to pay the cost of vaccine lor children through the age ot 19 In low income families. : ... .'-" '.-... This money either would be given to the states or used for federal purchase of vaccine to be sent to the states for the low in come families. Medical organizations were asked to see to It that doctors vac- cinate only children within the priority age groups. . .. Detailed plans for maintenance of vaccination records were out. lined as part of the effort to assure adherence to the priority plan. States Handle Program Under the plan approved by the President each state, through its governor, will direct the distribu tion of the vaccine within the state. A State agency designated by the governor will advise Mrs. Hobby's office on the desired shipment of the state's allocation, specifying how much vaccine should go to commercial drug distribution channels and how much should be distributed to public agencies. Mrs. Hobby end her advisers said "wo emphasize that the safety of the vaccine must always be the first consideration, distribution must be secondary to safety." "The safely of the vaccine re leased for use will continue to be the responsibility of the. Public Health Service. . .and Is receiving the constant and diligent attention of the Public Health Service." To Mnko Reports The report repeatedly stressed that current distribution should be aimed at the earliest possible ful fillment of the Nntional Founda tion free immunization program for first and second graders.
