A battery of six U.S. atomic cannon landed today on Okinawa and the Army announced that atomic rocket launchers would be sent to Ja pan for their first deployment in the Far East. A political storm already was brewing for the government of Prime Minister Ichiro Hatoyama over the impending arrival of the rocket launchers, with So cialists and left - wing groups rallying to protest even though atomic warheads might not be present. United States Prepared An Army spokesman said de ployment in the Far East of the 35-ton cannon and the "Honest John" rocket launchers '"is evi dence that the United States is prepared to defend the free world with the most modern weapons in our arsenal." A Washington announcement said the atomic cannon and rocket launchers had been as signed to Far East stations.

Some 150,000 children in the state received one shot of the vaccine this spring. Feemster said the outbreak in dicates that a single shot of Salk vaccine does not protect against polio.
