9 by Western sunn s UnoeFgoing Analysis Powers 11 Si 111 1 dill Home Propaganda Still Crilical of United States By LYLE C. WILSON "Washington (U.R) The So viet Union's offensive which leads now toward a Big Four confer e n c e is mt-A Lyle C. Wilson under careful analysis by the Western pow ers. The study strongly sup ports the idea that the Krem lin's peace talk is for export only. Communist radio, newspa- pre and periodical propaganda for consumption behind the Iron Curtain continues to be harshly crical of the West, notably of the United States. This is a fac tor in the international situation tending to increase the caution with which Mr. Eisenhower will approach his three-day meeting with the British, French and Rus sian heads of state. The official trend of Washing ton thinking as of now is that the somewhat softening attitude of Moscow and Pciping is more a short range change in tactics than a long range reversal of Communist strategy. Communist Strategy Communist strategy has been keyed to extension of Commun ism to all the world, by force, by diplomacy or by economic pres sures. It is expected that Mr. Eisenhower will enter the Big Four meeting with that in mind. He will be aware of the ap pearance, at least, of a softening of Communist attitude, notably in last week's signature of the Austrian peace treaty. The Presi dent has said that he would offer Premier Nikolai A. Bulganin every opportunity to demon strate good will and good inten tions. In the simplest language, how ever, the Eisenhower adminis tration substantially doubts that the Russians are on the level. That is the principal foundation for Mr. Eisenhower's evident de termination to avoid decisions at the Big Four meeting on the nu merous points at issue between the Communist world and the West. A well-informed individ ual put it this way: "The President will be willing to talk about anything and every thing, but he will decide noth ing." That point is being made with some emphasis here lest the American people build false hopes. Much could come of the Big Four meeting, but it would come largely thereafter as lesser officials may hammer out decis ions in the areas of dispute which the top men merely discussed. Cold War Stalemate The change in Soviet Union tactics toward peace offensive strategy is attributed here to something like a stalemate in the Cold War. Part of the Krem lin's Cold War strategy, for ex ample, was based on conviction that there would be a great de pression in the United States. It has not come nor is it in sight. The Kremlin played it one ay so long as there was no agreement on German rearma ment and a chance to block such. Now, the Kremlin takes another tack. All is not well for the West, but all is a lot better than it was a year ago all over the Cold War front. Best information here is that the Soviet Union is having po litical difficulties in the satellite nations overrun after the war, that her own internal economy is substantially damaged by agri cultural deficiencies. These fac tors may help explain the peace offensive, but they do not neces sarily prove it to be genuine. One thing carefully noted here is evidence that the Soviet Union may be spending for armaments now at a rate higher than during World War II. Oregon To Get Homes At Two Radar Stations Colorado Springs, Colo. U.PJ The Continental Air Defense command said today that it will build 432 pre-fabricated family dwellings, costin $7,00,000 at iso lated radar stations across the nation.

(International) Lasting Power of Salk Vaccine may &e unicnown. i By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York U.R) After more than 40 years of vaccinat ing against lockjaw, medical scientists still can't be sure how long the vaccinated remain im mune to the disease. Maybe they will know the staying powers of the salk anti-polio vaccine sooner than that, but immuniza tion scientists would bet against it. Dr. Edward S. Stafford, of the John's Hopkins university, Baltimore, a leading authority on tetnus or lockjaw, believes that each, of the millions of men and woman who got the tetnus shots in the armed forces during World War II should be getting "booster" shots now. He suspects that their immunity may be running out. Lack of Ceriainiy That goes also for all persons over 10 years old who were im munized against tetanus as in fants. He called attention to the lack of certainty as to how long tetanus immunity persists in a learned discussion in '"Surgery, Gynecology, and Obstetrics," the scientific organ of the Am erican College of Surgeons. Nowadays most infants are given a combined diptheria-tet-anus vaccination. "Eventually nearly all Americans will pos sess active immunity against tet anus," he said, "but whether this immunity is permanent or not cannot be decided on a fac tual basis for many years yet." However, "this valuable health asset now enjoyed by many mil lions of Americans can be pre served with certainty by a booster injection of tetanus tox oid at intervals of 5, or even 10 years." The "booster phenomenon" built by nature into body chem istry is well known to science. Once the chemistry has been set up to manufacture a defense to a disease-causing organism, it retains the manufacturing mach inery, so to speak, and the mach inery, so to speak, and the mach inery can be kept working by just a little more of whatever set it up in the first place. With the Salk anti-polio vac cine, the third shot is the booster shot, and Dr. Salk believes that at least seven months should pass between the second and third shots. Any 'shot given after me Time the third shot would be a booster too. and therein is the big un answered question of the Salk vaccine how soon after the first booster is it needed to keep the immunity alive? The tetanus shots came into widespread use during the First World Wrar, which shows that such a question is not answered quickly with the absolute cer tainty which science demands. Of course, tetanus, the dread "lockjaw" of the layman, is a different disease than polio, but the "booster phenomenon" is the same. j I ' '' ' ' t'i RETIRING IN JUNE General Matthew B. Ridgway strikes a meditative pose in his office in the Pentagon in Wash ington. He will retire as Army Chief of Staff effective June 30. General Maxwell D. Taylor, Far East commander of all U.
