and by state officials as "not too
(larming," but life went on much
(is usual today in a city that has

(close city beaches or other gath
ering places for children or
(adults. Movie operators reported

iDt weather, but the pennant

it was "advisable to delay visits
Ocgfc children to Boston from other
(lections until the incidence of
Klio subsides.
"The number of cases of ad
(jjltji; with polio in the city is ex
tremely small. There seems no
Occasion to restrict the3 visits of
(dults to the city."
But Caulev said. "We're not
going to put a gate around the
Tcitv."
Health Commissioner Alex
ander Witkow of Worcester, a
city in the central portion of the
state, has advised residents

state are experiencing a heavy
incidence of polio."

described as having reached
epidemic proportions" by C. C.
Dauer of the Public Health Serv
ice in Washington.
Dr. Joseph Reardon of the
state Health Department said the

in the state Thursday, record
number in one day. Of these
cases. 47 were paralytic, 29 non

Tropical Storm
Thrashes Waters
Off West Indies
Miami, Fla. (U.R) A tropical
storm howled into West Indies
waters with winds up to 65 miles
per hour today and threatened
to become the first full-blown
hurricane of the year before
nightfall.
The Weather Bureau . at San
Juan, PR., said the tempest ap
peared to be increasing in in
tensity. Shipping in the Leeward
Islands was alerted for possible
hurricane warnings tonight.
Planes May Scout
An advisory at midnight lo
cated the center of the storm,
designated "Connie," at 750
miles east of San Juan and pre
dicted it would hold a west to
west-northwest course for 6 to
12 hours.
A spokesman at the Jackson
ville, Fla., Naval Air Station said
that' if the storm continued
building strength hurricane
hunter planes would make an
immediate scouting expedition.
Connie, third major tropical
storm of the year, was first re
ported two nights ago by a ship
which radioed it was lashed by
winds of 40 to 50 miles per hour
in the Atlantic.
Early Renort
"We have never had such early
reports on a tropical storm be
fore," a Miami Weather Bureau
spokesman said.
The storm report came on the
heels of the year's second trop
ical tempest, Brenda, which
sprang up suddenly in the Gulf
and invaded the Louisiana shore.
Brenda was unofficially clock
ed at 75-miles per hour just be
fore it moved inland and blev
itself out but was never official
ly designated a hurricane.
The first storm, Alice, arose
and died in the Atlantic last Jan
uary without reaching hurricane
strength.

Actors Strike
Agaist Television
Hollywood (U.R) The Screen
Actors Guild, AFL, went on
strike against producers of tele
vision shows at 12:01 a.m. today
in a walkout that might affect
some of TV's biggest shows.
A three-year contract between
the Guild and producers expired
July 25.
A spokesman for the Alliance
of Television Film Producers
and the Association of Motion
Picture Producers said further
negotiations aimed at settling
the dispute probably would not
come until "some time next
week." He said both sides ex
pected to resume talks, but no
date had been set.
Brinks' Bandit May
Have Fled To Canada
Buffalo, N. Y. (U.R) A phantom-like
bandit who shot a
Brink's guard in an abortive
armored car holdup apparently
slipped through a police dragnet
and fled into Canada, authorities
said today. ' " .
Police said a man answering
the description of the bandit had
crossed the International Peace
Bridge into Ontario.
The report was the only clue
police had on the whereabouts
of James Salemerio, 35, alias
Jimmy Sheridan, the machine
gun outlaw who engineered the
Wednesday night Brink's holdup.
It was the third time that Sale
merio had slipped through police
nets to freedom. He escaped in
a hail of bullets immediately
after the $498,500 holdup at
tempt failed.
Key issue in the walkout is
the Guild's demand that actors
be paid for second runs of films
in which they appear. At present,
performers receive payments for
the first and third through sixth
runs.
Freshman Year Block
Some College Students
Ann Arbora, Mich. (U.R)
One-third of the students who en
ter college as freshmen never
make it to their sophomore year,
according to a report by Dr. Ira
M. Smith, retired registrar of
the University of Michigan.
"The freshman year is the big
gest stumbling block to a college
degree," Smith said.
"Students are admitted to col
lege because they have the nec
essary educational ability. If they
fail, it is because they do not
have the necessary emotional
equipment to adapt themselves
.to a college atmosphere."
