Wednesday, February 2, 1953 DEie Quoted as Saying U.S.;R3ust Kew Mgain Igree To 0 Speculation on Possible Trade Appears Deflated Washington - (U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower has declared emphatically that the " United States must never again agree to curbs on its striking power like those imposed during the Korean war, a congressional in formant said today. The informant, a Republican leader who asked not to be id entified, said the President made this clear in a table pounding discussion on his need for a com pletely free hand in the Far East. The informant said this insist aiice on preserving every possi ble military advantage appar ently deflates speculation ' that the United States might' be will ing to trade off the Chinese-Nationalist-held islands of Que moy and the Matsus in return for a cease fire. The islands are valuable for neutralizing the harbors of Foochow and Amoy on the Red China' mainland. Chiang -Opposes Withdrawal Generalissimo Chiang Kai shek also was understood to ob ject strongly to surrendering Quemoy and the Matsus. tie was reported to be balking at j evacuating the Tachen islands, ! immediate scene of conflict be-J tween his forces and the Chin ese Reds, while he jockeys for a guarantee that he won't be asked to leave Quemoy and the Matsus. Quemoy and the Matsus have figured . prominently in Senate debate on the Far East crisis and the administration resolu tion passed last week. The res olution gave Me, Eisenhower un limited power to fight the Chin ese Communists, if necessary, to defend the ' Nationalist strong hold of Formosa and the nearby Pescadores. Some senators believed the ad ministration passed ruling Que moy and the Matsus outside the Formosan defense zone because it wanted them for bargaining purposes in the cease fire nego- tiations launched this week by the United Nations. -tr In the Korean war, the United States, as part of a, UN force, refrained from bombing Red China military installations or troop concentrations above the Yalu river boundary of Korea. Under terms of the congres sional resolution passed ,.- last week, U.S. forces would be free to bomb the Chinese mainland or to help the Nationalists de fend the Quemoy and Matsus islands near- the mainland. " He same islands are now in- volved in a dispute about wheth er the Senate should go ahead . with a resolution declaring Sen ate support of UN cease fire .efforts. . The Foreign Relations com mittee voted Tuesday to delay action after Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland ar gued that it would have to be amended so it could not be in terpreted as "a blank check for appeasement." r Crews Work Aramnnidl Clock To Evaluate Ann Arbor, Mich. U.R)- A hardy crew of statisticians," de coders, tabulators and clerks worked around the clock today to meet their spring deadline in evaluating the effectiveness of the Salk anti-polio vaccine. . The vaccine was given to thousands of school children in 217 "test areas' across the coun try last summer in the biggest medical experiment of all time. Researchers already,; know that under laboratory conditions Salk boosts the level of anti bodies, the disease-fighting bod ies in the blood stream. The biggest question is wheth er the vaccine raises the anti bodies to a "protective level" under actual conditions of ex posure in crowds, in classrooms or at play. Looking for Answers.' : Seeking the answers to the $64 polio question is the Univer sity, of Michigan's Poliomyelitis Vaccine Evaluation Center head ed by Dr. Thomas Francis Jr. Francis and his 100 assistants, who often receive as much, as a' half a carload of mail in the morning, hve been keeping their tabulating machines humming 24 hours a day to keep up with the flow of medical data they must process. It comes from 27 laboratories ; which are keeping tab on the 1,800,000, children in cluded in the mass Salk tests. Of the nearly 2,000,000 chil dren, 650,000 received "shots" last summer. About 440,000 of them got the real vaccine de veloped by Dr. Jonas Salk of the University of Pittsburgh. The other 210,000 got a harmless con trol substance. . Mass of Information The case of each child is stud ied and recorded at the center in such terms" as the size of his home town, age, medical history, previous polio record, dates of inoculations and; possible .'re actions. , Before they finish their mam moth evaluation job, Francis and his team expect to have process ed 144,000,000 separate items of information. ' Evaluation of the historic Salk experiment is expected to be completed "in the spring," pos sibly the so-called polio season. It ; has not yet been decided whether the results will be an nounced here or forwarded to New York for release by the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. " Three Possible Conclusions There are three possible con clusions to be drawn from the Salk tests the vaccine is effec tive in combatting paralytic polio, it is ineffective or it is only partially effective. , If the vaccine Is declared a success, polio will be relegated to the class of smallpox and oth er diseases for which preven tives or cures have been found. If it is adjudged not effective or only partly so, it will mean more years of anxiety for par ents and more years of labor for researchers. - INCONSISTENT Lone Beach, Calif. U.R) - Paul B.
