Clark Sees No War
Over Formosa Crisis
Jackson, Miss. (U.R) Gen
Mark W. Clark, former Far East
commander of United Nations
forces, predicted Tuesday night
lhat the Formosan situation will
not develop into a "shooting
war."
He said he felt sure the Com
munists would avoid that "at
pny cost."
Clark, addressing the annual
meeting of the Mississippi Eco
nomic Council, said he is con
vinced after 10 years of dealing
with the Communists that "they
respect force only and we
haven't confronted them with
Sufficient force and determina
tion since World War II."

Authorities Plan
Immediate Start
Of Inoculations
By UNITED PRESS
Tons of Salk anti-polio vac
cine were rushed to points
throughout the country today
and public health authorities
planned to start inoculating 57,
000,000 American youngsters al
most immediately.
Crates of the cherry red vac
cine left pharmaceutical houses
by air and truck as the biggest
mass assault on disease in his
tory got underway.
Many states and communities
planned to start administering
the shots to first and second
graders as soon as the vaccine
arrived.
In parts of Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, and New Mexico, the
deadline was Friday. San Diego,
Calif., planned to start Saturday
and Rock Island, 111., children
will roll up their sleeves for the
first of their shots Sunday.
Millions of children in other
parts of the nation will accom
pany their grateful, happy par
ents to distribution centers Mon
day. Other states planned to
start a little later and space the
shots through the spring.
'Shot' Schedules Drawn
The National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis, which or-
d e r e d the mass inoculations,
hoped that 57,000,000 children
would receive free vaccinations
with their parents' consent be
fore the end of summer.
The blitz attack against the
crippling disease may be speed
ed up by Dr. Jonas E. Salk's an
nouncement that two shots,
backed up by a booster seven
months later, would be suffi
cient.
The polio foundation and
health authorities throughout
the nation had based their plans
on three shots, spaced a week
apart.
- Most health officials said they
would go ahead with plans for
the three shot program unless
they get a change in orders from
the polio foundation.
But Pennsylvania officials
said their entire planning would
be revised on the basis of the
Salk statement. Authorities in
Pennsylvania,, Texas, and Okla
homa said a two-shot program
would boost the number of chil
dren eligible for immediate in
oculations by the hundreds of
thousands.
Shipments on Way
Pharmaceutical houses began
shipping out tons of the vaccine
within hours after it was pro
nounced a success Tuesday.
Cutter Laboratories in Berke
ley, Calif., moved out two tons
of vaccine by plane and truck
and at Detroit, Mich., Parke
Davis & Co. flew supplies to 25
points for use in commercial
channels. It also planned to put
10,000 doses on sale in Detroit
today.
At Indianapolis, Ind., two of
the largest vaccine - producing
houses had huge amounts of it
bottled, packaged, and waiting
on warehouse "skids" for a go
ahead signal from the National
Institute of Health.
Many states were poised to
speed the vaccine throughout
the countryside by dramatic air
and highway relays.
Some Hitches Develop
Ohio was geared to start inoc
ulating 440,540 first and second
graders within 12 to 24 hours
after the vaccine arrives in the
state.
Hundreds of doctors and regis
tered nurses stood ready to be
gin the stupendous task of in
oculating the millions of chil
dren throughout the country.
Some hitches developed, how
ever. In Maryland's Montgomery
county, 4,000 parents flatly re
fused to let their youngsters re
ceive the vaccine. Two counties
in Indiana objected that the plan
smacked of socialized medicine.
The same objections to mass
inoculations had arisen in Chi
cago, but the city's Medical so
ciety called them off at a last
minute meeting Tuesday night.
The decision cleared the way to
start inoculations of 135,000
Chicago first and second graders
within a week.
In New York City, 281,000
youngsters will " start getting
their arms pricked April 25. Los
Angeles will start inoculations
of 82,514 children Monday.
One Seaman Killed
As Vessels Collide
Norfolk, Va.-4U.PJ Two ships
collided in a dense fog bank off
the North Carolina coast early
today, killing one seaman and
leaving one vessel disabled.
The disabled, vessel, the 320
foot Ciudad de' Bogota, radioed
a rescue ship late this morning
that she was taking water and
the situation was "worse."
The other ship, the 323-foot
cabin motorship Bahia de Matan
zas, was standing by. Rescue
vessels groped through a 700
foot deep fog bank toward the
Bogota. . .
Oregon Planning To Start Mass
Polio Inoculations Next Monday
Portland (U.R) The State
Board of Health last night re
vealed its plans for mass inoc
ulation starting Monday of a
possible 84,350 Oregon children
with the Salk anti-polio vaccine.
Dr. Harold Erickson, state
health officer, said he expects
the vaccine to be flown to Port
land from headquarters of the
National Foundation for Infan
tile Paralysis "in a day or two."
County health departments
within 50 miles of Portland will
be asked to pick up the vaccine
by truck. This will include Mult
nomah, Clackamas, Yamhill, Col
umbia, Washington and Marion
counties.
Marion county officials will
pick up vaccine for Linn and
Polk counties.
All other Oregon counties will
receive their shipments by air.
Areas not served by commercial
carriers will receive air ship
ment from the Civil Air Patrol.
Present plans call for three
planes to be ready at Portland
airport at 8 a.m. Saturday. One
will fly the newly-proved vac
cine to Gold Beach, one to New-.
port and Tillamook and a third
will take off for Hood River,
The Dalles, Condon, Fossil, John
Range Conditions
Poorest on Record
Portland (U.R) Range con
ditions in Washington, Idaho and
eastern Oregon were the poor
est on record for April 1 because
of last winter's "drought" con
ditions, according to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
The department's western
range and livestock report said
cold weather and lack of' mois
ture resulted in the lowest range
feeding conditions in 33 years of
record in the three states.
Conditions were between 10
and 13 per cent below the 10
year average.
Oregon cattle and sheep were
kept in good condition through
the winter by heavy supplemen
tal feeding.
Grass growth in western Ore
gon was also held below normal
by cold weather.
Day, Lexington and Lakeview.
At Lakeview, vaccine for
Burns will be placed aboard an
other. CAP aircraft.
Dr. Erickson said all first and
second graders in public, pri
vate or parochial schools would
be eligible for the shots which
have proved 80 to 90 per cent
effective . against the dread dis
ease. He estimated that as high as
95 per cent of the 84,350 eligible
children would participate in the
program. In addition, all chil
dren who were unvaccinated
while acting as "controls" in the
1954 tests could be vaccinated
this time if their parents wished.
Dr. Erickson said the state
board's policy as to the number
of shots will be governed by the
policy of the National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis.
Educational figures show that
an average American woman
gets 8.5 years of schooling as
compared with the average
American man who receives 8.3
years in school, according to re
cent statistics.
