Newspaper Page TextFree Vaccinations For All Children Seen by Sen. Smith Washineton (U.R) Sen. Alexander Smith, ranking Re- ruhlican member of tne Senate Labor committee, thinks Con- orpss will Drovide Salk vaccine shots free to all children. That would mean ditching Eisenhower's r request for S28,000,0060 to provide shots only for the free chil- dren unable to pay for them n. ight Asked whether children mi die of polio before they c be given a "means test" to if thev could afford to pay could see for the shots, Smith replied: "We're not going to have mpans test. We're going to give it to every child of the age pre scribed. We're not going to de termine whether they can pay or not. All children 'probably will get it free before we get through with it." , Standby Control Sen. Lister Hill (D-Ala.), chair man of the Senate Labor com mittee, has introduced a bill to set up standby controls and to give the vaccine free to all chil- dren. Hill failed twice last week in efforts to win commitee ap- proval of his bill when the nec essary majority failed to appear. Only one Republican attended each meeting. Hill has called another meet ing for Tuesday. Although Smith indicated he favors free shots to all children, he did not imply that Republicans favor the Hill measure.

Ford, Union Closer In Talks To Avert Threatened Walkout Detroit, Mich. (U.R) A soft ening of demands by both Ford Motor Co. and the CIO United Auto Workers raised hopes today that some way still might be found to avert crippling strikes in the automobile industry this year. The union watered down its guaranteed annual wage de mands considerably in a bar gaining talk Sunday, while Ford eliminated one of the provisions it had included in its offer to set up severance pay for workers permanently laid off. The two actions were the first signs yet in the nearly two months of negotiations that the two sides were starting to ex plore "the middle ground" be tween the union's and the com pany's positions. Talks Resume Today ' Negotiations resumed again to day in an attempt to reach a set tlement before Thursday when the union has said it will call 135,000 Ford workers out on strike if necessary to enforce its demands. If a strike develops, it would be the first crippling walkout in the industry since 1950. The union softened its guaran teed annual wage demand by cutting down the size of the pay ments it wants for workers when they are laid off. The union has been seeking a payment that would be the same size as a worker's regular take home pay. At Sunday's session, the union agreed it would consider a pay ment giving a worker 80 per cent of his normal pay before taxes, high enough. A union spokesman said this would mean the average worker would receive 11.5 per cent less than normal take home pay when he was laid off. Provision Eliminated The severance pay was one of the features of a company offer presented Thursday to the union. As originally proposed, a worker permanently laid off would have had to give up pension rights if he accepted severance pay. The company eliminated this pro vision Sunday. A' company spokesman said Ford had intended such a pro 4 fir r RETURNING TO CAPITAL from bedside of ailing husband in Texas, Welfare Secretary Oveta Culp Hobby meets President Eisenhower amid speculation she may resign cabinet post.
