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. -
