Boise, Idaho U.R) The Idaho
State Public Health Department
Saturday cast the first shadow of
suspicion at anti-polio vaccine as
a possible "contributing cause'
in the state's 10 recent cases of
the disease.
! 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.

Manhunt for Trio
Who Escaped Jail
Magag, Quebec U.R)
Royal Canadian Mounted po
lice her Saturday night cap
tured a wounded man - lhey
aaid it on of the prisoners who
broke out of the St. Lawrence
county jail at Canton Wednes
day. 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.

Crew of Junk Gets
Another Chance
Taipei, Formosa (U.P.) 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.

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."
