Department Director L. J. Pe iterson aaid each of the children apparently received a shot from .the same lot of Salk vaccine manufactured by the Cutter Lab oratories in .Berkeley, cam. ; Could b Caut ; 'This means the vaccine eon !ceivably could have been a con tributing cause," he said. He added Idaho received enough of the vaccine lot for ; about 14,000 inoculations. ; Scheele made it clear the Pub .'lie Health Service would be "guided" by the recommenda tion of the experts in urging a ; continuing inoculation program. IHe said he saw "no reason" for ; states to halt their Inoculation of school children. Peterson said the department ;nd two U.S. Public Health De ipartment representatives were conducting "exhaustive tests to determine if the children de veloped true or vaccine polio." He also emphasized that noth ing definite can be decided about the vaccine until these tests are completed. Strang Coincidence But he noted that Dr. Carl Ek lund, chief surgeon of the U.S. Public Health Laboratory at Hamilton, Mont., had said earlier that it appeared strange that lhe eases developed in a certain age group, at about the same time, after each had received the vac cine. The latest polio case was seven-year-old Sherman Vau ghan of Malad, who was taken to an O g d e n, Utah, hospital where his condition was de scribed as good. Seven new cases were report ed Friday, and two cases one a fatal were reported Wednes day. All nine active cases were in good condition. Lava Pouring From Hawaiian Volcano Pahoa, Hawaii (U.R) Kila uea, Hawaii's troublesome vol cano five miles south of here shot streams of lava 150 feet in the air Saturday. By late yesterday, two fingers of molten lava were reported flowing alongside the older stream which steamrolled to the sea early in April. Volcanologist, Dr. Gordon MacDonald said the two-pronged flow was creeping sluggishly and no danger was foreseen. On Tuesday, another crater in the vicinity of Kilauea erupted breaking an 18-day silence, but since then has been only tossing out cinders.. MacDonald said the new erup tion holds no threat to the re evacuation of coastal - villages which residents have been re occupying in the past two weeks.

They identified kirn as Frank Telerieo, 44, of Utiea. and said he had been shot in the abdomen, apparently by New York stat polic some tim earlier. Canton, N. Y (U.P.) More than 200 state police and civilian volunteers slogged through knee deep mire Saturday, seeking to set a trap for three dangerous jail breakers and keep them from escaping across the nearby Ca nadian border. The posse sealed off a three- square mile area of woods and dense undergrowth and closed in on the spot in which they thought the fugitives had taken shelter. An Army helicopter sent from Camp Drum hovered overhead, aiding the search. FugitiT Spotted One of the fugitives was re ported spotted and was fired at near the edge of the swamp near Lawrenceville. The man ran back into the trees and brush, appar ently unhurt. State Police Capt. Harold T. Mueller, director of the man hunt, said he thought the fugi tives would try to breakout of the trap and head north toward the Canadian border on railroad tracks on highway route 11. The manhunt began Friday, after the three men fought it out in a farmhouse gunbattle in which a state trooper was wound ed twice. State police end volun teers with , orders to "shoot to kill" corned the countryside with bloodhounds and powerful searchlights throughtout the night. Fourth Surrenders The fugitives broke put of the St. Lawrence jail Wednesday along with a fourth man, Leon Caskinet, 24, Raymondville, who surrendered when his compan ions fled into the woods yester day. The three still at large were Frank (The Hook) Talarico', 44, Utica; Ralph" La Shomb, 29, Pots dam, and Patrick Brooks, 26, Gabriels. They were in jail on various charges including lar ceny, burglary, assault and gun carrying. The four broke out of jail af ter slugging a guard. They stole two guns from the jail office and fled in a sheriff's 'department car. Talarico vowed h . would not be caught alive.

The Nationalist government granted permission Saturday to the crew of the junk "Free China" to make one more effort to cross the Pacific Ocean. The 32-ton, 70-foot wooden craft turned back twice with engine and radio trouble and is now at Naha Harbor, Okinawa, where it was towed after losing a rudder. The junk carries five Chinese and one American, Vice-Consul Calvin E. Mehlert, 25, of Fres no, Calif. Navigation authorities coun seled against allowing the junk to continue, maintaining the junk is not seaworthy and the crew is not experienced in ocean sailing. Ontario Group Set To Oppose Oregon Sales Tax Plan Ontario U.R) A -delegation of four eastern Oregon bus inessmen, headed by Ontario Atty. Martin Gallegher, left here Saturday for Salem with 40 letters of protest against pro posed sales tax legisaltion. They will present the letters at a public hearing on the Salem tax bill in Salem Monday. Malheur County Rep. Emil Stunz said the sales tax would cripple business in the Ontario-Vale-Adrian-Nyssa area, because he believes county residents would simply cross the river in to Idaho to purchase items other than food to escape the tax. Rep. Stunz said the problem is exclusively an eastern Oregon one as Idaho is the only state adjacent to Oregon without a sales tax. Both California and Washington have a sales tax. Cities in Idaho of a size com parable to Ontario would be no more than 10 to 20 miles distant for county residents, Stunz said. Sunday. May 1, 1953 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREB US. Issues Sharp IProtesiomi French Free Detain IPosdUodh Washington U.R) The Unit ed States sent a sharp protest to Paris over France's refusal to support the free Vietnamese gov ernment headed by Premier Ngo Dinh Diem, officials disclosed Saturday. Leading members of Congress meanwhile cheered the action of a pro-Diem "general assembly of revolutionary forces" in Sai gon which "deposed" absentee emperor Bao Dai as chief of state. The playboy emperor, who lives in a chateau on the French Riviera, had been trying to fire Diem by remote control. House Okays Report On Aid to Jobless Salem (U.R) The Oregon House delayed its weekend ad journment long enough Satur day to accept a favorable report on a bill that would raise unem ployment compensation benefits to a maximum of $35 per week. The bill has already been pass ed by the Senate. By reading it Saturday and placing it up for third reading Monday, the House measurably speeded the end of its work. It was given priority on Monday's calendar. .' Final stamp of approval was also placed on bills granting the attorney general added assistants to prosecute public assistance fraud cases; providing indeter minate sentences and psychiatric treatment for persons convicted of crimes against children under 16- and allowing the University ot Oregon to provide planning assistance to cities and counties. All of the measures have had Senate approval. The State Department de clined public comment on the Bao Dai ouster, pending more information on who constituted the Saigon Assembly and wheth er its action would stick. Backstage, however, the De partment was doing its utmost to get. the French government, which has supported Bao Dai, to stop cutting the ground from under Premier Diem, whom American leaders regard as the best and perhaps the only man in sight to head a stable gov ernment in the Communist threatened Asian country. , Informants said a "complete wrap up", of American com plaints against French conduct in the turbulent Vietnamese sit uation was delivered in Paris by American Ambasador C. Douglas Dillon. Showdown Slated The protest set the stage for a showdown talk when Secretary of State John Foster Dulles ar rives in Paris next week for a Big Three foreign ministers meeting. , Ambassador Tra Van Chuong of Viet Nam called at the State Department in mid-afternoon to talk over the crisis in his home land. He met for more than an hour with Kenneth T. Young, director of the department's of fice of Philippines and South east Asian Affairs. A spokesman for the State Department said the ambassador called on Young to "review the situation and ex change information." Benson Blames Demos For Midwest Drought N Washington (U.R) Agricul ture Secretary Ezra T. Benson says past Democratic farm poli cies ar partly to blame for the drought and dust bowl conditions in the Great Plains states. He made the statement after reporting to President Eisen hower Friday on his tour this week through stricken areas in Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, and New Mexico. He said some of the blam must be placed on "high rigid supports on wheat which encour aged expansion of wheat acre age in marginal areas."
