Postponing
WASHINGTON (UP)-A growing
number of states appeared today
to be on the- edge of postponing
polio vaccination programs until
after the current polio season ends
next fall.
So far, nine states and the Dis
trict of Columbia either have made
firm decisions to halt their innocu
lation programs or have decided
i tentatively to do so if enough vac
cine is not released to complete
shots in the very near future.
A spokesman for the National
Foundation For Infantile Paralysis
conceded that "it. is beginning to
look as though more states will
be postponing their programs."
The District of Columbia said
Thursday it would cancel all firs
and second shots if enough vaccine
is not available before school' is
out June 16.
Other states which have indica
ted reluctance to continue their
programs during the peak polio
season of the summer or after
school Is out and children scatter
are New Jersey, New York, Idaho
California, New Mexico, Maryland
Oregon, Washington and Texas.
In other developments on in"
vaccine situation:
1. New Jersey's entire supply cf
vaccine was recalled for further
testing under the government'?
new safety standards.
2. Chairman Lister Hill (D-Ala)
announced that Democrats on the
Senate Labor Committee will sup
port a new bill to provide frc?
polio shots to all America s ciii)
dren.
Hill rapped as "gravely defec
live" President Eisenhower's 28
million dollar program under
which the government would pay
for vaccine only for those children
who cannot afford it.
Police Seeking
Killer of Priest
CHICAGO (UP) Police sought
a razor-wielding bandit and ques
tioned delegates to the Rotary In
ternational convention today in
their search for the killer of the
"Father Flanagan of India."
The Rev. John Chiramal, 42,
died Thursday of shock and loss
of blood after gasping "I've been
attacked, I've been robbed."
Two hours earlier he had stag
gered from his car to the door
of the Little Sisters of the Poor
shelter. A seven-inch siash ran
from his heart almost to his left
shoulder.
The Roman Catholic priest died
in a hospital before he could tell
what had happened. His only clue
was that he was attacked "far
away."
Police theorized that he had been
stabbed as early as seven hours
before his death and had managed
to rived to his final destination
holding a blood-soaked shirt to his
chest to stop the bleeding and
steering with the other hand.
An inquest into the slaying was
to be held today.
Father Chiramal had come to
Chicago to raise funds for the Boys
Town of India home he heads jn
the village of Kumbalangi, India.
The Indian priest had modelled the
home on the famed Boys Town of
Nebraska, founded by the late
Father Flanagan, and was known
as the "Father Flanagan of In
dia." Truman Scores
Salk Handling
CLEVELAND (UP) Former
President Harry S. Truman today
criticized t h e administration's
handling of the Salk vaccine pro
gram and said It "may be partisan
politics that has slowed it down
"It has been the policy of this
administration to discredit any
thing that originated in the other
two administrations," he said, re
f erring to those of his own atid
the late Franklin D. Roosevelt
"The development of the Sn!k vac
cine started in the March ol
dimes," he said, "which as you
know, started under President
Roosevelt."
Mr. Truman made the state
ments at a press conference, prior
to a dinner tonight to raise funds
for his Memorial Library at In
dependence, Mo.
The former President ducked
most of the political question;
thrown his way by reporters. He
said his appearance here was
strictly non-political, and suggest
ed that newsmen ask quest ioni on
other subjects.

Satellites Told
Hopes of Peace
Grow Brighter
LONDON (UP) Soviet strong
man Nikita Khrushchev told the
Soviet satellites today that Mos
cow's forgiveness tor Marshal Tito
of Yugoslavia has strengthened
world Communism's campaign for
"peace."
Khrushchev and! the star-Studded
Soviet delegation stopped off in
Sofia, capital of Communist Bul
garia, en route back to Moscow
frrom the talks with Marshal Tito
in Belgrade.
The Bulgarian visit was inter
preted here as a move by the Sov
i ets to soot 1 1 sa t el 1 i te lean pers
frayed by the Kremlin's new
friendly attitude toward Yugosla
via which until recently has
been treated as a Communist
traitor and outcast.
Khrushchev addressed a mass
meeting oi thousands of cheering
Bulgarians who were ordered into
Sofia s September Nintn square
minutes after the Soviet delega
lion's plane landed.
Khrushchev's explanation of the
trip to Belgrade to woo Tito and
a description of his reception in
Sofia were broadcast by the Sofia
radio and were monitored here.
The Soviet leader went straight
into an explanation of Moscow'
reasons for forgiving Tito, despfte
Yugoslavia's seven-year defiance
of the Cominform.
For one thing, Khrushchev said,
Tito steadfastly refused to sur
render Yugoslavia's sovereignty to
other (presumably Western) pow-
wers. in spite of the nation s dif
ficulties. Western experts on Soviet affairs
said Khrushchev and the delega
tion that includes Premier Nikolai
Bulganin and Deputy Prime Min
ister Anastas Mioyan probably
will visit other statellite cpitals
to forestall the dangers of a new
Titoism" in the satellite empire.

Last-Minute
Stay Attempt
Unsuccessful
SAN QUENTIN, Calif. (UP) -Convicted
Murderess Barbara
Graham was executed m the San
Quentin gas chamber today after
a frantic sequence of events in
which the execution was delayed
twice, once only four minutes be-
fore she was to have been strapped
in the death chair.
The attractive mother of three
finally was put in the chair at
11:34 a.m. PDT. The lethal cya
nide pellets were dropped at 11:36
and she was pronounced dead at
11:42.
Mrs. Graham was put to death
for her part In the brutal robbery-
murder of a wealthy Burbank,
Calif., widow, Mable Monohau.
Jack Santo and Emmett Perkinn,
convicted with her, were to be ex
ecuted at 1:45 this afternoon.
Mrs. Graham originally was to
have been executed at 10 a.m. and
Santo and Perkins at 1 p.m. But
all three executions were delayed
45 minutes when Gov. Goodwin J.
Knight granted temporary delays
so attorneys could make desperate
last minute appeals.
The pleas were denied and
Warden Harley O. Teets directed
prison officers to prepare Mrs.
Graham for execution at 10:45
am.
Exactly at 10:41, while doctors
placed a stethoscope of Mrs:.
Graham's chest and guards pre
pared to walk her the last few
steps from her cell to the death
chamber, an emergency call came
through from the State Supreme
Court in Los Angeles.
A clerk informed the prison that
the high court had reversed tn;
denial it had made only an hour
before and ordered Warden Hark-y
O. Teets to stop the execution
again.
But at 11:10 the Supreme Court
rejected the frantic plea once
more and Mrs. Graham's execu
tion was re-set for 11:30.
Before Barbara's 10:45 date with
the gas chamber was called off the
state's execution machinery was
all set to put her to death.
Portland Milk
Strike Continues
PORTLAND (UP) Milk
hungry Portlanders today learned
of a new issue injected Into two-
day-old dairy strike and lockout
that could prolong the city s fresh
milk famine for several days.
Teamsters employed at dairies
where no labor disute existed an
nounced they would refuse to go
back to work until paid for the
time lost while Rocked out of their
jobs by employers.
All dairies in Portland closed
their doors and sent workers home
after AFL Teamsters struck the
Mayflower Milk plant In a dispute
over working schedules. The dair
ies contended a strike against one
of their number was a strike
against all.
Emergency milk shipments were
being made to hospitals but Poif-
land schools, now near the end
of the school year, made no such
provision and substituted orange
juice and chocolate made with
powdered milk for school lunches.
Meanwhile, T. E. Bain, chl.'f
milk inspector, said no uninspected
milk will be brought into the city
during the strike. Powdered milk
plants and churning plants wer?
working around the clock to turn
fresh milk supplies into by-prod
ucts and spokesmen said there
would be no milk dumping.

Paralysis Grips
Britain in Wake
Of Rail Strike
LONDON tUP) A creeping
economic paralysis gripped Britain
today with factories closing down
and unemployment growing tn a
hain reaction to the nationwide
strike by, railroad workers.
The strike by 70,000 engineer:
and firemen, now in its sixth day,,
forced six Welsh steel mills to halt
production. Other factories cut
working hours for lack of essential
materials or because finished
products could not be moved.
An attempt by organized labor
to mediate the dispute broke down
in defeat Thursday night. A spokes
man for the Trades Union Congress

Reds Turn Fire
On Billy Graham
PARIS (UP) The Communists
turned their "Yank go horn" pro
nacanda on Billy Graham! tody
even before the American evangel
ist had a chance to preach In this
had a chance to preach In tins
predominately Roman Catholic
country.
The fellow-traveling newspaper
'Liberation" ridiculed Graham's
mettiods and approach in a report
of his press conference Thursday.
'The French people should re
pent) Read the Bible and follow
me of the Protestant cults or even,
as a last resort 1he Catholic Church
that Is the sense of the appeul
Billy Graham will make to Pari
sians," .the newspaper chided.
The crusader's "organization of
vast publicity campaigns . . . could
hardly fail since it concerns the
revelation of a superman like
Christ," Liberation said,
Graham held the conference as
prelude to his five-day crusade
which begins Sunday In the voat
Palais Des Sxrts.
In answer to some of the con
troversy caused by his appearance
here, the 37-year-old revivlallst
said he was not here to fight any
body but to "preach the bble."
He emphasized that his primary
purpose was to re-awaken lailr.
among the indifferent and that he
would not engage In sectarian dis
putes. "Wherever I have gone, I have
always received the friendship ot
the (Roman) Catholic Church," he
told the newsmen.
He added that It was true he
had never been sponsored by the
Catholic Church and thai there
were no Catholics among the group
sponsoring him in France.

Hope Now Held
Auto Walkouts
May Be Averted
DETROIT (UP) CIO President
Walter Reuther said today talks
between Ford and his United Auto
Workers over Ford's offer to set up
a multi-million dollar fund to p:iy
laid off workers have reached the
"critical stage."
The offer which broke o solid in
dustry front against the principle
of paying idle workers appeared
to have cleared the way for a
possible settlement in the near
future that would satisfactorily
meet the union demand for a
guaranteed annual wage.
The offer brightened ' prospects
the key automobile industry would
avoid long, crippling strikes this
year.
Reuther told newsmen he hnd
cancelled a nationwide television
appearance set for Sunday on
CBS" "Face the Nation" pro
gram because he felt public dis
" jeopardize the course of negotia
tions. . . at this critical stage."
Huddle Separately
He made his statement Just
moments before the two sides ab
ruptly recessed their talks for four
hours, Just an hour and a half
after resumption . of talks today.
The long recess was called to give
both sides a chance to huddle sep
arately on the annual wage de
mand. The autoworkers have been seek
ing a phm under which they would
receive "more adequate protec
tion" against the layoffs which
have long plagued the industry.
With only three days left in
which to reach a settlement be-t
fore Monday's strike deadline,
however, it appeared likely the
settlement might not be reached
before that time.
But If a strike develops hopes
were growing it would be a short
one instead of a long crippling
strike which many had feared
would develop over the annual
wage demand.
Union sources didn't agree on ,
how the 55 million dollar fund that
would he set up over three years
would be meted out to workers.
Some said the company proposed
to give workers payments over
and above unemployment compen
sation benefits. Others said fundi
would not be paid out until work
ers had exhausted these benefits.
Silence fact
Top negotiators refused to dis
cuss the mailer under a silence
pact. Hut the exact method under
which payments would be made
appeared less significant at this
time than the fact Ford had agreed
to the principle of paying workers
during layoffs.
It appeared unlikely that the
Ford offer, if it becomes a basis
for settlement, would emerge un
changed from Its original form in
the final agreement.
Resides final agreement of the
question of layoff pay, tie got la torn
still had to settle the question nf
wages, pensions, insurance benefits
and duration nf contract.
Sporadic wildcat ltrikes at scat
tered plants continued to plamie
Ford operations. New walkouts
were reported Thursday nlprht nt
Atlanta, Ua., and St. Louis and the
protest walkout of 2.7(10 production
workers at Metuchen, N.J., Mer
cury assembly plant went Into ItJ
second day.
