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. Dead line Sunday Classified is at
noon Saturday; 1 a.m. Monday for
Monday; other days 5:30 ereviouaday.

mere
s more
Life
to Rainier
You pour and right from the start you can see there's more
life to Rainier! 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!
