Carroll (Tex) McCasland of Gresham opened the eighth an nual Oregon youth Legislature today with a call sharply re miniscent of the recently con cluded 1955 legislature to "bal ance the budget." In his inaugural address de livered in the House chamber before - a joint session of the youth Legislature, Gov McCas land stressed that legislature should be parsed that would be feasible and practical and at the same time economically satis factory. Vould Limit Speed One of the measures up for consideration of the youth Leg islature is one that would limit the speed on Oregon highways to a maximum of 60 miles hour in the daytime and 55 miles an hour at night.

Leg islature is in a splendid position to make a worthwhile contribu tion to the affairs of govern ment, whether it be community, state or national. "Under the excellent guid ance your . leaders,, who have given 'so unselfishly of . their time and effort in your behalf, you will have the rich experi ence of seeing democracy at work in your sessions, and will be challenged, I know, by this privilege ' of learning firsthand Eome of the basic qualifications of good citizenship."

EATON'S Dinner House CLOSED FOR THE SUMMER! StochpSled Salk Vaccimie Said Lost By Urofforeseeuu KeactSoira New York U.R) The New York World-Telegram and Sun said today that "an unforseen chemical reaction involving stop pers on thpusands of vials of stockpiled. Salk anti-polio vac cine turned the vaccine into worthless fluid that had to be junked." "Thus chemical snafu explains, at least in part, the 'disappear ance' of 10 million Salk shots early this month," staff writer William Michelfelder wrote for the Scripps-Howard newspaper. He said it would also explain the discovery between the man ufacturers' original production figures and the amount of vac cine made available. "It would also explain," he said, "why the promised 17,200, 000 cubic centimeters were never delivered as promised May 1. The National Foundation for In fantile Paralysis found itself with 7,200,000 shots from man ufacturers as of May 1, or 10 million shots short." Michelfelder said the "miss ing" vaccine was actually inef fective vaccine which had been stockpiled and then destroyed by the manufacturers. He said he had learned that wholesale de struction of the worthless fluid began months ago. "Scientists for one major man ufacturer," the story said, "dis covered that merthiolate, a pre servative, had generated copper particles in the vaccine by its action on vial stoppers. "The copper particles set up another reaction which weaken ed the immunizing qualities of the vaccine. About two months was needed to ruin the potency, the manufacturers discovered. When the situation was discov ered, the supply was poured down the drain. Then new batch es were made with e new chemi cal added." " j The reporter said that a source close to a major manufacturer told him it was impossible to "re habilitate" the stockpiled vac cine weakend by the vial stop pers.
