Free 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.
Dionne Girls Sign
Papers To Divide
$1,000,000 Trust
Callander, Ont. U.PJ The
four surviving members of the
Dionne quintuplets have signed
papers to split up their $1,000,
000 trust fund, it was disclosed
today. They also have made their
wills.
The girl soon will, apply to
Hm Supreme Court of Ontario
lor pohssession of the money the
court has held in trust for them.
They signed the papers Saturday
at their 21st birthday celebration.
Oliva Dionne, the girls' father,
said the "important business"
took up most of the time at a
Dionne family reunion.
Cecile and Yvonne, student
nurses at Notre Dame de l'Es
perance Hospital, and Annette,
a piano student at the College
of Marguerite-Bourgeoys, drove
back to Montreal yesterday.
Marie stayed home to help her
mother run the house.
The reunion was saddened by
the absence of the fifth quintup
let. Emilie, who died last August.
It was not disclosed what will
become of Emilie's share of the
trust fund which was built up
over the years from proceeds of
the quints' movie contracts, ad
vertising endorsements and gifts.
Dionne said the girls had not
previously discussed with the
family what they intended to do
with their fortunes. It was be
lieved they would reinvest in
gilt edged securities.

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

vision in the first place and had
acted Sunday to clear, up any
misunderstanding.
Although the softening of de
mands by both sides raised hopes
a settlement could be reached,
the two sides still had to resolve
the basic principle of the guar

Wager Produces
'Remarkable' Tool
Wahoo, Neb. (U.R) An Army
Ordnance safety official bet an
employee at the Nebraska ord
nance plant here that he could
not produce a durable,; non
sparking tool, and the employee
came up with a "remarkable im
provement." Walter Meier, Sr., chief drafts
man for the National Gypsum
Co., at the plant, won his wager
with a tool that may be adoDted
for widespread use in the am
munition industry where non
sparking tools are a must for
safety purposes.
t Safety personnel at the plant
here said the tool is a "remark
able improvement" over other
non-sparking tools available.
They said the tool would spark
after it penetrated one thirty-second
of an inch into metal, but
this is considered to be an am
ple measure for safety purposes.
Officials also said the steel
tool is expected to last much
longer than other such tools, usu
ally made of soft metal. Cost of
Meier's tool would be the same
as others.
