Mew England Polio
Cases Near 2,000
Boston U.P.) New Eng
land's polio cases neared the
1,000 mark Saturday and health
department officials appealed
for trained nurses to bolster
weary hospital staffs.
In Massachusetts Friday, 62
new cases were reported, equal
ling a record for new cases in a
single day. Boston, which has
been hardest hit by the unpre
dictable disease, reported 14
new cases.
In other New England areas.
New Hampshire had three more
victims, Rhode Island reported
five and Connecticut five. There
were no new cases in Maine and
Vermont.
308 In Five Days
New England's polio total now
stands at 747 with 308 reported
in the last five days. There were
220 cases at this time last year.
Dr. John Cauley, Boston's
chief health officer, made an
appeal for more nurses.
"There are a number of bul
bar and other cases in Boston
which require a 24-hour watch
and which rapidly exhaust our
regular nurse supply," he said.
Many Expand Facilities
Health officials were also con
ferring with administrative
heads at Boston City Hospital
and famed Children's Hospital in
connection with possible expan
sion of facilities to handle the
mounting number of victims.
In Brockton, city officails or

The long-striding, fast-moving man you see
in this picture has made the right decision
at the right time!
For the past year or so, he has been think
ing about a Cadillac and he has finally
made up his mind.
He is through with compromise and
doubt and wonder. This time, he is going
after the real thing!
And how lucky he is that he made that
decision today! For wonderful news of a
special nature is waiting for him.
He'll find, for instance, that Cadillac
ownership is far more practical now than
ever before. He'll learn, in fact, that the
city's polio victims have been
removed to hospitals by the Po
lice Department.
Everywhere in New England,
recreational and camp directors

Walter Calls for
Subversive Label on
Rosenberg Group
Washington ' U.R) The
chairman of the House Un
American Activities Committee
said Saturday he will ask the
attorney general to list the na
tional "Rosenberg" committee
as subversive.
Rep. Francis E. Walter (D-Pa.)
said testimony by 21 witnesses
at a four-day subcommittee hear
ing proved the Communists "ex
ploited" the trial and execution
of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg,
the atomic spies.
Charges Propaganda Used
He contends Throughout the
hearings that the National Com
mittee to Secure Justice in the
Rosenberg Case was set up by
Communists as a "front" to raise
propaganda charges in an at
tempt to discredit the United
States and raise funds for their
own use. -
He told newsmen he will ask
Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell Jr.,
to add the group to his list of
subversive organizations.
Four former FBI undercover
agents were among the parade
of witnesses before the sub
committee. They contended that Commu
nists were "very active" in fund
raising and propaganda drives

Harriman Ducks

Albany, N. Y., (U.R) Gov.
Averall Harriman's position as
a possible contender for the 1956
Democratic presidential nomin
ation became, in his own words,
"964,000 question" Saturday.
The governor was asked flatly
if he could be a candidate at a
news conference Friday on his
return to the state capital from
a 27-day trip abroad.
Harriman smiled and said,
"That is a S64.000 question and
I am afraid no one is going to
get the $64,000 ... at least to
day." He eliminated himself from
consideration for the second spot
on the national Democratic tick
et when asked if he would ac
cept the vice-presidential nom
ination if he didn't get the presi
dential bid.
"I don't think there is anv
sence in trying to answer that
question," Harriman said. "I
said in 1952 that I was not
interested in that office."

All but one of the other 17
witnesses all identified as

paign refused on the ground
of possible self - incrimination
to say if they were Communists.
The lone exception was Mrs.
Mildren Rothenberg.
With three other exceptions,
Mrs. Rothenberg and the rest
also balked on the same grounds
at saying if they had taken part
in the Rosenberg campaign.
Novelist David Alman, and
his wife, Emily, who now live on
a farm near Englishtown, N. J.,
readily admitted they once were
the national committee's execu
tive secretary and treasurer. But
they ducked the Communist
question, too, and refused to
talk about any of their associates.
Waited Long Enough !
lowest-priced Cadillac can be purchased
for little more than he might expect to pay
for a goodly number of the so-called
medium-price cars.
He'll also find that his dealer because
of a low used-car inventory is in a position
to offer him a very generous allowance on
his present car.
And he'll discover, that, because of
Cadillac's greatly increased production dur

new Cadillac after a surprisingly short wait

'There Ain't No Justice
Lucky Luciano
Naples, Italy (U.R) Charles
(Lucky) Luciano, former New
York vice king, lamented Sat
urday that so many "fat-headed
cops" are giving him a hard time
these days that "there just ain't
no justice."
Lucky's latest wail about in
justice came when reporters ask
ed him to comment on publish
ed reports from New York that
he was suspected of being "in
the background" of three narcot
ics rings smashed there this
week.
"They're a bunch of fat-headed
incompetents and can't catch the
right guys, so they say it's me,"
Lucky moaned.
Dirty Shame
"It's a dirty, crying shame,"
he said. "I am an ideal citizen."
Luciano, who was deported
from the United States as an un
desirable alien in 1946, admit
ted he knew one of the 11 men
arrested in the New York nar
cotic roundup which netted 75
pounds of pure heroin.
This was Settimo Accardi, 53,
better know as "Big Sam."
"I haven't seen or heard of Big
Sam in 10 years," Lucky said.
"It's a dirty, crying shame.
I don't see any of my old friends
anymore. I go and eat in a rest
aurant once a day and I don't
even go to the race tracks. Still
they make me a fall guy."

ed:
"You know what I'm gonna
do? I'm gonna go inside my ap
artment and close my door and
never come out again. As it is,
I'm so penned up here I might
as well go nowhere."
Actually, Luciano cannot go
very many places. On his 58th
birthday last Nov. 19 a Naples
police commission slapped a two
year restriction on him which
limited his activities sharply.
Under its terms, he can't leave
his home here between dusk and
dawn, can't travel more than 16
miles from Naples, and can't
frequent public places such as
the Agnano race track which,
had been his favorite place of
pleasure.
