Receipts by
Mothers' March Set
For Monday Evening -
- With but one day left in the
campaign, the March of Dimes in
Medford is lagging behind last
year's figure by about $5,000,
City Chairman Thomas J. Reed
. er said yesterday. , . ; . ...'.
Reeder said a check of receipts
showed that projects which can
be compared to similar, projects
of last year are about holding
their own. ' I- v
Bahind in Gifts "
"We. have fallen down in in
dividual gifts," Reeder said,
."and the projects have not been
doing sufficient business to take
no the slack." . 7- ' "-'
V ''Unless Monday night's Moth
ers March does about 5,000
more than.il has ever dene be
fore in Medford, we are going to
fall : behind for the first time
. since the March, of Dimes has
been conducted in Medford," he
declared. The Mothers March is
.from 7 to 8 p.m. when mothers

pointed out that money
is needed "by the "National Toun
dation for Infantile Paralysis
this year more than, ever since
the Salk vaccine shows so much
promise. Several million dollars
will be needed for manufacture
and distribution of the vaccine
. if current evaluation tests prove
successful. Other millions will
be needed for, car of patients
already afflicted and who will
contract polio before a vaccine
can be manufactured and dis-
. tributed on a mass basis. :.

i "Jackson county has ' always
been one of the top counties in
the state and one of the better
ones" in the nation,'' Reeder

a time when the need is great-

with their fighting power "great

General Lord Ismay of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization re
ported today. : ;-Vs;-f
Ismay said the Communists
could have 400 divisions in the
field 30 days after the start of
a war.- .. ;' '
Listed in Book
" The estimates were contained
in a book published by NATO en
titled "The First Five Years
1949-54.",- In it, Ismay traced
NATO's history since its incep
tion, considered Soviet military
strength and set . down " his
thoughts on the future.
The latest official estimates of
the Communist war potential
made , by .Western Intelligence
sources in 1954 were carried in
an annex called "Soviet armed
strength."
Strength Constant
"Since 1947," Ismay said,
"the numerical strength of the
Soviet . ground , forces has re
mained fairly constant at 175
divisions; but. their mobility and
fire have been greatly increased
by mechanization and moderni
zation of equipment.' ?
' Ismay said the Soviet Union
now has 65 tank and mechanized
divisions. Rifle divisions. have
been - motorized and " equipped
with tanks and additional artil
lery, he said, and the "potential
in airborne troops has been con
siderably increased" since World
