Vaccine Use During
Peak Polio Season
Says Hazards Less
Than Delay to Fall
New York fo-R) A com
mittee of family doctors and
public health officials Saturday
gave the green light to comple-
Washinston (U.R) The
administration is seriously
considering the need for
weeping new federal powers
over mass Taccinations in
view of the troubles encount

program, informed sources
said Saturday.
tion of the national polio vac
cination program during the
peak polio summer "season."
Thirty doctors called together
by the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis said after a
six and one half hour meeting
that the hazards of giving Salk
inoculations - during the polio
season were smaller than the
hazards of calling off the pro
gram until next fall.
The doctors had been called
here to consider whether an in
jection of the polio . vaccine
would bring on paralysis in a
person who already has been in
fected with poliomyelitis virus
but who has not yet become sick.
Their conclusions were dis
closed in a six-page statement
containing recommendatiops the
committee will submit to the
U.S. Public Health Service.
There had been some talk of
calling off the program as a pre
caution to protect the still un
vaccinated children among the
9,000,000 included in this year's
inoculation program.
Some Will Be 111
"It must be emphasized that
when poliomyelitis vaccine is
given to large numbers of indi
viduals during epidemic periods,
a small proportion receiving the
vaccine will, subsequently ex
perience paralytic disease," the
statement released by the doc
tors said. -:;:j:. '
"This is because the vaccine is
not 100 per cent effective."
The doctors said that it should
be emphasized that the "small
risk" in giving the injections
during the summer probably can
be reduced still further by not
giving injections to persons with
minor illness, especially fever,
sore throat, or gastro-intestinal
upsets.
Peak periods vary in different
areas. The polio season began in
the south in April and May.
Then it moved slowly north and
will hit the northernmost states
in August or early September.

Molotov Arrives
In San Francisco
For U.N. Session
Oakland, Calif. (U.R) Soviet
Foreign Minister Vyacheslav
M. Molotov, flanked by 50 Rus
sian aides, arrived at the
Oakland terminal of the Sou
thern Pacific roalroad at 2:20
p.m. PST Saturday and was
quickly whisked away to the
headquarters of the delegation
across the bay.
The balding foreign minister
stepped from his private car,
waved to a crowd of about 200
persons and was immediately
guided into the Soviet's awaiting
Cadillac.
Molotov spoke briefly through
an interpreter from inside the
car.
"I want to thank you for the
welcome you have given the
Soviet delegation here," he said.
"I wish to express cordial greet
ings to the people of San Fran
cisco, the city where the U. N.
was born."
As he stepped from the train,
he took a few steps towards
photographers crowded behind
a cordon of security police. He
appeared willing to talk to news
men, but security agents, appar
ently concerned for his safety,
turned him around and guided
him into the car.
The foreign minster arrived at
the delegation's headquarters at
3:05 p.m. PST., and an immedi
ate police line was thrown up
around the estate to prevent any
sightseers from entering. News
men and photographers milled
about the gates for a while but
were not allowed entry.
The stocky diplomat, wearing
a blue-gray, double breasted suit,
with a blue shirt and blue tie
and brown shoes, was greeted by
an orderly quiet crowd. The
only sign of a demonstration
came from the Estonian society
of northern California who stood
behind the police -barricade and
displayed signs with slogans
that read: "Mr. Molotov, ,do
ghosts of millions haunt you,"
and "Soviet Union Press is a
puppet of Communism," and
passed out pamphlets that said
"Molotov dictated the occupa
tion of the Baltic states 15 years
ago."
Washington (U.R) Rep.
Owen Brooks (D-La.), an influ

affairs, 'predicted 'Saturday the
House will get another' chance
to vote on creation of a military
reserve force.

Government Planners Agree
U.S. Not Ready for Attack
Washington U.R) Govern
ment planners are agreed that
the .nation isn't ready for an
enemy atomic attack such as
they pretended hit the country
this week in the grimmest peace
time civil defense exercise in
history.
President Eisenhower' said the
mock attack demonstrated the
need for passage of his proposed
compulsory military reserve bill
which is now stalled in Congress.
He said that in the kind of
"disaster" the exercise pretend
ed "one trained reserve battalion
in the proper place would be
worth five divisions located a
thousand miles away."

Plot to Overthrow
Peiping Officials
Declared Broken Up
Monarchy Restoration
Said Aim of Leaders
Tokyo (U.R) Peiping radio
said Saturday Communist China
had broken up a plot 'by a group
of religious sects to overthrow
the government and restore the
centuries-old monarchy.
The broadcast said leaders of
the group were sentenced to
death, but the Chinese language
broadcast was vague as to de
tails. It did not say how many
persons were involved or when
the arrests were made.
Peiping said the anti-govern-
ment group was organized into
a number of religious sects with
such names as "G r e a t Budd
hism," "Clairvoyance Religion,"
"Basic Principle of the Heavenly
Way" and "The One Prevailing
Way."
The Communist radio said the
anti-revolutionaries operated in
underground shelters in central
China near Peiping and that one
of the shelters contained a forge
for manufacturing "murderous
weakons." -
Peiping said 27 shelters ap
parently natural underground
caves were raided and that one
of them was big enough to ac
commodate more than 30 per
sons. The Communist broadcast said
the religious-monarchist plotters
carried on subversive activities
among Thincese farmers in the
Changchiakow sector of Hopei
Province northwest of Peiping
where many farmers are Bud
dhists. - -
Peiping said 30 Jollowers of
the sects infiltrated farm co
operatives and that two . of them
became cooperative chairmen.
The broadcast Indicated the anti-
government group based its ac
tivities on the Buddhists' oppo
sition to Red China's religious
policies. ' " '
Announcement of the ."plot"
followed by a few hours a Com
munist broadcast announcing the
arrest of a group of saboteurs
on charges of derailing trains
and setting fires in Manchuria.
Diplomatic observers in Tokyo
said the two announcements
were significant if apparently
unrelated since Peiping rarely
reports any internal discord.
Demos lose Vfopes of
Hiking Defense Funds
Washington (U.R) Senate
Democrats virtually abandoned
hope Saturday, of beefing up
President Eisenhower's defense
budget. '
This prospect' of defeat was
conceded in authoritative quar
ters even though moves are
planned to try to provide more
funds than the administration
asked when the $31,800,000,000
military appropriation bill
cames before the Senate Mon
day.
Democratic hopes for enlarg
ing the .Defense budget were
punctured when the appropria
tions committee rejected pro
posals to vote the money to avert
planned manpower cuts in the
Army and Marine Corps. Dem
ocratic defections on the com
mittee made these actions fairly
decisive.
best way to deal with interna
tional Communism is through
strength.
Federal Civil Defense Admin
istrator Val Peterson concluded
that:
- "America cannot be destroy
ed by a nuclear attack. We can
survive. But, we had better pray
to God we are never subject to
such an attack."
Closed Circuit
The President, Flemming and
Peterson broadcast their re
marks over a' closed circuit radio
channel from one of 31 secret
relocation sites from which the
government tested its ability to
continue to operate if Washing
ton was bombed out.
In the simulated attack on 61
cities, including Washington,
there were supposed to have
been 14-milIion "killed" and "in
jured" and another 25-mUlion
Americans theoretically left
homeless.
17 Per Cent Drop
In Fire Protection
Assessments Slated
Change to Become -Effective
July 1
A 17 per cent reduction in
fire protection assessments for
1,000,000 acres of forest and
brushlands in this area will be
come effective July 1, according
to Ted Maul, district warden for
the state forestry department.
The charge this year has been
13.3 cents per acre. The new
assessment will be 11 cents. The
amount is collected by the coun
ty at the same time as other
taxes in November, and applies
to the fiscal year starting next
July 1.
Money Saved In 1954
The areas involved are in sec
tions protected from fire by the
state forestry department, and
other private lands in national
forest areas. The decrease repre
sents money saved last year be
cause of low fire losses, and ap
plied to the new fiscal, year
budget. The land involved is
in Jackson county will receive
ties.
Another 140,000 acres of land
in ackson county will receive
an even greater reduction, from
13.3 cents to 4.7 cents per acre.
These lands were recently , re
classified as grazing grass lands
by the county land reclassifica
tion committee, and are in areas
surrounding the floor of the val
ley in the Eagle Point, Sams
Valley, Tolo, Antelope Creek,
Little Butte Creek and Bear
Creek areas.
To Have Protection
Another change announced by
Maul will involve unimproved
lands which formerly were in
non-patrol protected areas. Un
der reclassification made follow
ing a public hearing by the coun
ty committee, these will now be
under forest patrol protection
effective July 1. They will begin
paying the 4.7 cent per acre
assessment, and will be ubject
to patrol fire regulations, in
cluding the necessity of burning
permits. .
Several sections of the county
between Ashland and Eagle
Point are involved, all outside
organized fire protection dis
tricts. Loyalty-Security
Reviews Urged
Washington (U.R) The
Senate Government Operations
committee Saturday urged a
"careful and comprehensive" re
view of the administration's loy
alty security program in a
report which avoided any criti
cism of the program itself.
The report recommended
enactment of a bill to set up
a bipartisan 12 member commis
sion to make the study. The
committee approved the bill
yesterday by the unanimous vote
of 10 of its members. Three
others did not vote.
The committee's report, made
public Saturday, outlined the
special powers and functions
which would be given the pro
posed commission. But it care
fully steered clear of commenting
on criticisms of the loyalty
security program which, were
made in hearings on the com
mission proposal.
Family Quits Shelter
After Three-Day Test
Houston, Tex. U.R) The
first American family to live
three days in a tight, under
ground H-bomb shelter came out
Saturday night and told civil
defense officials their worst
problems were humidity and
odors.
The four "members of the
Christmas family crawled
through an escape hatch into the
back yard of their home at
7:30 pjn. to be greeted by Dr.
W. P. Bonin. The doctor examin
ed them closely, -just as he did
when they went into the shelter
Wednesday.
John R. Christmas, 36: his
wife, Dorothy, 40, and their
children, Stanley, 13, and Mary
Louise.ll, were in excellent
physical and surprisingly good
mental condition, Dr. Brown
said. He noted only minor irrita
tions of the eyes and a little
change in their blood pressures.

Priests Released
After Being Held
'For Own Safely'
Peron's Opponents
Remain in Custody
Buenos Aires (U.R) Two of
the three principal leaders of
Thursday's revolt have been ar
rested, and the third committed
suicide when the uprising failed,
it was reported Saturday.
The independent newspaper
La Razon said police have cap
tured Anibal Olivieri, who was
dismissed as Navy minister be
fore the smoke had cleared, and
Rear Adm. Samuel Toranzo of
the Argentine Marine Corps.
Marine Vice Adm. Benjamin
Gargiulo shot himself in this of
fice in the Navy ministry shortly
after loyal forces crushed the
revolt, the newspaper said.
Earlier, federal police had an
nounced the release of an undis
closed number of priests ar
rested "for their own safety'
after the revolt. President Juan
D. Peron's principal political op
ponents were reported still in
custody.
Peron said in a radio speech
Saturday night that the rebels
killed hundreds and wounded
thousands and accomplished
nothing." He said his regime
prefers to reason with Its oppon
ents rather than force its beliefs
on them.
"We have the law, and we
obey it," he said. "We are in the
right, and we seek to impose it
by truth . . . the force of- the
people's conscience and the force
of law is always superior to the
force of violence."
Theaters Reopen
Lights glowed in downtown
Buenos Aires Saturday night for
the first time since a blackout
was clamped on the city ThurS'
day, and theaters and movie
houses reopened their doors.
A few blocks around the plaza
De Mayo remained cordoned off
while repair crews worked to
restring trolley lines and other
wires knocked down by rebel
bombardment.
The official radio repeated
government assurances that the
nation is "completely calm:"
But the chief opposition party
to President Juan D. Peron an
nounced that its leaders, includ
ing Dr. Arturo Frondizi, party
president, had been arrested and
still were being held. The party,
union civica radical, disclaimed
any connection with the revolt.

Two American GIs,
Belgian Request
To Be Sent to U.S.
William Cowart Asks
To, Go to Japan
Tokyo (U.R) Three Ameri
can and two Belgian Korean War
prisoners who elected to stay
with the Reds rather than be
repatriated have changed their
minds and will leave "econom
ically backward" Red China, tha
Communists announced Satur
day. The men had trouble adjust
ing themselves in China and "of
their own free will" asked to
leave the country, a Peiping
radio broadcast announced. One
of the Americans had a "mar
riage problem" the broadcast in
dicated. Two of the Americans and a
Belgian asked to be sent back to
the United States. The third
American, William A. Cowart,
asked to be sent to Japan while
the second Belgian chose to go
to Laos, the Communists said.
The 17 other Americans, a
Briton and a Belgian who chose
to stay in Red China held a news
conference to express their sor
row that five of their group were
leaving.
"The 19 former U.N. soldiers
who are staying in China said
they felt sorry that the five men
were leaving," Peiping . said.
"They had ' been their . friends
when they were in China and -they
still consider them friends
although they were leaving.".
The broadcast also said that
one of the 21 Americans who
stayed behind had died and that
another, Samuel D. Hawkins, of
Oklahoma City, Okla., now a
student at a Red university,
would be married in a few
months. ' ; . .".
The statement by Vice-Secre
tary of the Red Cross Society
of China Lin Shin . Huiao gave
no indication how or when the
five former POWs would be
repatriated. United Nations truce
officials in Korea and American
consular officials in Hong Kong
had received no official word
from thcCommunists.
Panmunjom Possible Site
However, observers in Tokyo
said that the turncoats might be
handed back by the Reds at
Panmunjom, Korea, the scene
of the big prisoner, exchange
after the Korean War and the
point at which the former United
Nations soldiers refused repatria
tion and chose Communism.
Those now quitting the Com
munists are:
Lewis W. Grigg, 23, of Jack
sonville, Tex., who was born in
the , tiny farm community of
Neches, 120 miles from Dallas.
He enlisted in the Army when
he was 17, leaving high school
to do so. He was captured April
25, 1951, and the Army reported .
that prisoners returning from
Chinese prison camps said he
tried to influence other POWs
and preached Communism. He
also wrote articles for Red pub-
lications. ; '
Otho G. Bell, 24, of Olympia,
Washington, s who - has a wife,
Jewel, and a four-year-old daugh
ter, Paula, he has never seen.
Mrs. Bell wept Saturday when
she heard her husband was to
return home. It was believed to
be her letters which persuaded
Bell to leave the Communists.
He has repeatedly written re
cently that he wanted to come
home even if he were hanged.
Bell had heard that two other
Americans who returned from
Communism had been hanged,
his wife said. But, he wrote:
I'm not afraid to face the price
for what I've done It would be
better to be bung than to have to
stay here."
William A. cowart, 22, Mon-
ticello, Ark., who was only 17
when he was captured July 12,
1950. A member of tne vs. 24th
Army division Cowart was one
of the first American soldiers
in the front lines in Korea; He
was one of the first Americana
taken prisoner and had a long
period of semi-starvation before
rations were increased in the
prisoner camps. But he was one
of the first American "progres
sives" in the Red camps and
Army reported he volunteered
to make propaganda recordings
and to write for the Red publi
cation "Toward Truth
Peace."
