CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 53rd Year 2 Sections Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon, Wednesday, December 7, 1955 Sixteen Pages No. 2 BEND Denial Issued By Governor, Senator Smith PORTLAND (UP) Charges by Oregon Democrat Chairman How ard Morgan that the office of the governor had made illegal use of Air National Guard planes drew heated dentals today from Gov. Paul Patterson and State Senate President Elmo Smith of John Day. Morgan yesterday dispatched a letter to Secretary of the Air Force Donald A. Quarles asking an in vestigation into the use of Air Na tional Guard planes by the gover nor's office. He reported to the sec retary that on Aug. 13, 1955. a Na 5onal Guard plane landed at Med ford with Smith as its only passen ger and that Smith went directly from the Medford airport to a Jackson county Republican picnic to make a partisan speech. The plane later carried Smith to Port land, according to Morgan. His letter followed reports that Quarles would stop unauthorized Use of Guard planes by the Gover nor of Alabama. Referring to the Medford flight. Smith said today, "If Morgan! would get over his floundering In ; vestigatiomlis he would know that National Guard flight officers ar? required to put a certain amount ,of time in the air. I was advised by the state guard at the time thai such a training flight was avail able." Smith recounted that he had been1 called to Salem from John Day on state business and that otherwise he would have been able to meet his Medford committment with his own transportation. Federal regulations stipulate that Guard planes may be used by gov ernors, lieutenant governors and adjutant generals only on Guaid or federal business. Smith serves as governor In the absence from the stale of Gov. Patterson. In Salem. Gov. Patterson said he had used the Guard plane twice In the three years he has been in the governor's office. . He said one of those occasions was to address an AFL convention in Medford and an American Le gion convention In central Oregon the same day. The other time ho used the plane was to attend a Na tional Guard review in Boise.

(Bend Bul letin Photo) Communist Refugees Die as Building One Shot Salk Plan Studied At Conference WASHINGTON (UP) The na tion's leading polio authorities met here today to consider recom mending a one-shot vaccination program to stretch Salk supplies to millions of children who other wise would go unprotected in 1056. The present program calls for three injections over an eig!;l month period. Many experts pre urging that the schedule be cut temporarily to on shot ft? give protection to far more youngsters. Summoned to consider the quev tlon were Dr. Jonas E. Salk, the government's technical committee on the vaccine, medical and public health leaders, and officials of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. j Support for a one-shot program was strong. But government offi cials said. It was "anybody s guess" what would come out of the secret meeting. The recommendation of the ex-1 perts,- expected by nightfall, will be submitted to Surgeon General Leonard A. Scheele, head of the Public Health Set vice. He may make a final decision himself or refer the issue to the government's lull National Polio Advisory Com mittee which reports to the secre tary, of health, education and wel fare. J The move for a one-shot inocu lation program stems from two things:-The fact that there isn't nearly enough vaccine to go around and reports that even one shot provided significant protec tion. More than 45 million Americans between Dirin ana iv years oki still have not been inoculated. Un less there is a spectacular jump n production, vaccine supplies are expected to fall far short ol meet ing the need next year. Careful government s t u d I es showed thut the vaccine was. 75 per cent effective against paraly tic polio this year. This record was achieved even though most of the youngsters had received only one shot. The Idea advanced by many ex perts is that' It would be better to c ve limited protection to many, through one shot, than to provide three shots to a smaller number. One problem was whether one shot would last through the com- ine Dolto season, which nuns rough ly from spring until fall. Salk has said his studies indicate that even one shot offers some protection over a fairJy long period of time. It will be up to the experts to decide whether this protection Is sufficient to make a one-shot pifl- gram advisable. FINES ASSESSED ' Roger E.
