HURRY1 THIS IS THE LAST WEEK Demands Increase for Federal Program Providing Free Polio Vaccinations for Children; Labor Lends Support Controversy Could Darken Political Hopes Next Year By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Demands mounted today for a federal pro gram of free polio vaccination fcr the nation's children. Big labor unions are putting on most of the heat. Without free Salk shots, they say, many youngsters may be defenseless against polio this year simply because they are poor. The American Medical Asso ciation quickly differed. It ar gued that physicians must be allowed to vaccinate their pa tients and charge a feevif they wish. But it insists no child will go unprotected for lack of money. The issu has stirred consid erable behind-the-scenes debate in health circles. It is almost certain to come up Friday at fie White House conference on ways to assure fair distribution of Salk vaccine. Sen. Irving M. Ives (R-NY) strongly recommended, in fact, that the conferees thoroughly explore all the advantages and disadvantages of a free program. "There are grounds for con cern as to whether every child will get equal treatment," he told a reporter. "The cost and the mechanical problems of a free program certainly should be studied to see' if it is pos sible from a practical view point." Several congressmen already have introduced bills that would clear the way for a free vaccina tion program. Washington (U.R) An effort to Dunish toD Democrats who supported President Eisenhower in 1952 was boiling today toward angry showdown. The plan is to read them out of the party. This was the opening round of a controversy which could darken Democratic presidential hopes next year. Kepuoucan prospects were correspondingly brightened. The disputed question is this: Vi'hat is a bona fide Democrat? The New Deal-Americans for Democratic Action elements of the party evidently want a defi nition which would bar 1952 bolters from next year's Demo cratic National convention. Named specifically for punish ment were former Gov. James r. Byrnes of South Carolina, Gov. Robert F. Kennon of Loui siana, Gov. Allan Shivers of Texas. There would be others. Convention Challenge Former Democratic National Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell told the United Press the right of these four to sit in next year's convention would be challenged if they appeared with delegate credentials. Sen. John J. Sparkman (D. Ala.) 1952 Democratic vice presidential nominee, agreed that Byrnes, Kennon and Shivers should be challenged. "They are not entitled to be In the convention," Sparkman told the United Press, "unless they say they are good Demo crats and will support the 1956 ticket. In 1952 they broke their promise given to the convention to support the ticket. They are not entitled to take part in the 1956 convention unless they an nounce their return to the party and promise to support the nom inees. They are Republicans as of today so far as I am con cerned." But some other influential Southern Democrats slapped Mitchell down. - Sen. Price Daniel of Texas, who supported. Mr. Eisenhower in 1952, said: "I doubt that Mr. Mitchell is in a position to speak for the party on this subject." 'He's Cockeyed Rep. James P. Richards, from Byrnes' home state, said that if Mitchell "is quoted correctly, he's cockeyed ... he or. anyone else who tries that is cockeyed. They'll relearn a lesson that I thought they had learned before and they'll learn it more em phatically by losing more of the South than they did before." Some other Southerners who didn't want to be quoted said that Mitchell is stirring up trou ble unnecessarily; that some of the men Mitchell named may not go to the convention anyway. Speaker Sam Rayburn of Texas declined comment. As per manent chairman of the 1952 convention, he was the one in dividual most responsible for stopping the "Young Turk" drive to unseat rebellious South ern delegates. He has indicated a number of times in the past that he is all for letting bygones be bygones and welcoming the bolters back to the party. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, Minnesota, a notable member of ADA, backed Mitchell's sugges tion. In a 1952 pre-convention statement, Humphrey said the party did not need the Southern states. Affection Said Lacking; Actress Asks Divorce Hollywood (U.R) Film star Dale Robertson was divorced yesterday by actress Jacqueline Wilson who testified that the ac tor "showed no affection or love" after six months of mar riage. The couple married in 1951. sShe received custody of their two-year-old daughter, Rochelle, SI 50 a month child support and alimony up to 1H per cent of the actor's gross salary not to exceed $12,000 annually for five years. Several Days Expected For Manslaughter Trial The Dalles (U.R) District Attorney, Donald Heisler predict ed today the manslaughter trial of Joseph W. Ferguson, Mosier, would take several days. Ferguson was charged in con nection with the fatal shooting of Portland artist Charles Eaton the day after Christmas last year. The two were hunting in a heavily timbered area 12 miles east of here. The jury visited the scene of the shooting yesterday and aft erwards heard opening argu ments.

Just watch that snowy collar of foam rise to the brim. Watch it stand up. That's a sign of life. And there's more life as you drink. Rainier keeps its sparkle right down to the bottom of the glass because life is brewed into the beer, not added to it. The Rainier people use costly malts such as Hannchen, lightest of all barley malts. They brew and age Rainier for the livelier taste you like. That taste that satisfying Rainier tingle is the reason more people are turning to Rainier for life! 7 S ' iflW. .
