The measure authorizes fed pral grants to the states of enough funds to provide free vaecine for one-tnira oi tneir itill unvaccinated children and expectant women. This will cost about $60,000,- 000. Congress, when it came to G putting up the actual cash, vot ed S30,000,000 as the govern ment's share. Each state's share of the $30, 000.000 allotment was determin ed bv a formula based on. the number of still unvaccinated persons in the state, the cost of the vaccine, and the states per capita income. The law is an emergency mea sure designed to make sure that, while Congress is not in session, no eligible person is deprived of tile polio shots because he or she" cannot afford to pay for the vac cine. Both the House and the Sen ate have promised to see what more should be done when they reconvene in January. Federal grants will be under the . supervision ' of the Depart ment of Health, Education and Welfare. Of the $30,000,000, $25,000, 000 is available for the purchase ,of vaccine, and $5,000,000 may be used for the costs of planning and conducting of polio immun ization programs or for the pur chase of vaccine.

Ike Can Be Satisfied With Week's Results At Geneva Conclave BY ROBERT MUSEL United Press Correspondent Geneva (U.R) This is the balance sheet of the first week of the atoms for peace confer ence one of the most remark able gatherings of scientists ever assembled. President Eisenhower, who first proposed it, can be well satisfied with the early results. As he had hoped, scientists from East and West are mingling for the first time in years with less stiffness and suspicion between them than might have been thought probable. ' No one from Russia or the United States is happily slapping his opposite number on the back, of course. But the fact that a Russian can get up in a discus- Downtown Portland Bank, Apartment Buildings Planned Portland (U.R) Plans for a new apartment house as tall as Portland's tallest office build ing, were announced here Sat urday. The 15-story structure would be built by Joe Coleman and Son, former eastern Oregon lumber and timber operators, on the west side of the park blocks (between Southwest Clay and Market streets). The apartment house, if pre liminary plans are given final approval, would be the tallest "skyscraper-type" a p a r t m ent building in the city. It would contain 188 apartments. Esti matde cost is in excess of $2, 000,000. Edmundson, Kennedy and Kockendorfer prepared prelim inary plans for the building. Coleman and Son formerly held extensive interest in Kin zua Pine Mills. Portland (U.R) First Na tional Bank of Portland Satur day anounced plans to construct a $1,000,000 building on Port land's west side. The proposed bank structure would be three stories tall.

Red Paper Praised Delegates agree the United States is disclosing far the most information but Russia's speak ers seem to be striving to make a real contribution and some of their papers have been praised, even by Americans. Americans believe, however that the Russians must be op erating under a much stricter security or classification system. This was evident when Dr. Alvin Weinberg of Oak Ridge National Laboratories vainly tried to pin down D. I. Blokhint seve of Russia about a molybde num compound used in an atom ic power station, proudly de scribed by the Reds as "first in the world." Other Russians have shown the same elusiveness on oc casional technical points. But no matter what they are hiding and they may have a few cards in reserve the American dele gation is certain on the basis of what it has been and heard that the U.S. still holds a lead over the Soviet in every field of peaceful applications. On the whole, the ledger for the first week of the congress of 1,200 scientists from 72 nations is in the black. The papers read thus far have made clearer the outlines of the atomic age on which an unready world em barked in the blinding flash over Japan ten years ago.

Headquarters for JOHN DEERE - 25 South Riverside MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TJIIBU LtVE World Pays Tribute To Late Thomas Mann Zurich, Switzerland (U.R) The world paid tribute Saturday to Thomas Mann, Nobel prize winning "Grand old man of German literature." Hundreds of messages poured into the little post office at Klichberg, the small town on the shores of Lake Zurich where the noted novelist spent the last months of his life before enter ing the hospital. Wat 80 Years Old Mann, a naturalized citizen of the United States, died sudden ly Friday night at the Cantonal hospital.

Nobody seemed to want to believe that this man so full of vitality had left the world. Until stricken last month, the famous novelist led a quiet but active life in his home above Zurich. He wrote daily, read with insatiable desire arid walk ed in his garden every day. His daughter, Erika Mann, said her father's funeral will be held at Klichberg. Survivors are Mrs. Mann, the writer's wife of 50 years, Erika, who lived with her parents, and four of the other five living children: An gelus, Monika, Elizabeth "and Michael.
