Surgeon General Leonard A. Scheele believes rigid testing by manufacturers and government O insures that the vaccine being released to the public Is as safe as science can now make it. He said the flow of vaccine has been irregular up to now. But he predicted that it will in crease substantially this fall when the mass inoculation of the nation's children is expected to get into full swing again. Confidence Asserted In an informal conference with, newsmen Thursday, the surgeon general once again as serted his confidence in the abil ity of the. vaccine to help win the fight against polio. He said it is too early to say Johnson Predicts Sweeping Victory Johnson City, Tex. (U.R) Senate Democratic Leader Lyn don B. Johnson indicated today he expects the Democrats to win from "the courthouse to the White House" in 1956 whether or not Mr. Eisenhower runs for reelection. "I think the President is doing O the best he can but the Republi- -i i i i.. " can pany is nupeiesbi,y uiviucu he said. "The President is a man without a party, o "He launched a forward look r: ing and bold program at Geneva, Q but it has yet to be embraced by o the Republicans. The Democratic j:j party has demonstrated it is the party of unity and responsi- o bility" !! Johnson, who has been men - tioned as a possible Democratic - nominee, flew home from Wash f! ington yesterday to recuperate from a heart attack. Tomorrow, he will celebrate his 47th birthday. Only a few close friends will celebrate with him, even though, Johnson said, o he has come a long way since he O was stricken July 2. u Fountain Lumber Files o o Incorporation Articles 0 Salem (U.R) Articles of in corporation have been filed here U for Fountain Lumber of Oregon, 0 Inc., of Medford, with capitali J zation listed at $100,000.

The Public Health Service re asserted its confidence in the vaccine after issuing its long-de Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Hollywood Writer Hollywood (U.R) Helen Haye's son, James MacArthur, made his big-time acting debut on television last night but he confessed today he came close to not getting the job. Seventeen-year- old James' lead on "Climax!" is a "second chance" for him. Being the adopt ed son of the famous actress, and playwright Charles MacArthur, he admitted, isn't a sure-fire wedge into television. "When I first read the part they gave me that, 'Don't call us, we'll call you, ", he grinned as he sat in the quiet, nearly bare rehearsal hall at CBS. "And I'd thought I'd had the part for sure. They had called me to come into CBS in New York to pose for publicity pic tures for the show, and then do a reading. I figured that read ing was just some formality. Lands Job "After I went home they phon ed and said, 'We don't want you.' They didn't think I could handle it. So I packed my bags to leave for a visit with' some friends. My mother said, 'That's the breaks of show business.' "Just before I left, they called and asked me to fly to Calif ornia to read for the part again and work with the director. Then I got the job." James is a nice-looking senior at Solebury prep school near Philadelphia. Whether he'll fol low in his mother's footsteps and take up acting as a life career, he hasn't decided. "I'll eo to colleee first," he said. "It's better for kids just to be natural and on their own, and not get mixed up right away in show business, anyway. It looks so romantic, but it's real ly a lot of hard work." Acting Debut Young James made his acting deb'ut when he was eight during a summer stock performance of "The Corn Is Green." Last sum mer he went with his mother to another summer straw hat thea ter. While she acted, he got a job as chief of the parking lot. Somerville, Mass. (U.R) Texire Everett, 30, of Somerville said "sorry" when he bumped into a woman as he entered his car in nearby Cambridge. He was sorrier when he got home. Everett discovered that his wal let, containing $20,000 was gone layed report on what caused the rash of polio cases among chil dren who received vaccine made by Cutter Laboratories, Berke ley, Calif. 'Exact Reasons' Not Given The six-page report said live virus found in some samples of Cutter vaccine apparently gave By ALINE MOSBY lited Press Correspondent u. He graduated to electrician and later won a small role in "Life With Father." "I've read for a lot of other parts I haven't gotten," he said. "My mother never tried to get me a job and I never tried to get one through her. "I was considered for this 'Climax:' role because I met the producer, Martin Manulis, when mother was doing a 'Best of Broadway show at CBS. Later he telephoned he had this 'Cli max:' script and he remembered how I looked." Many an established star pales at the thought of acting on a live television show. But neophyte MacArthur shrugged, "I'm not scared because I don't know anything about TV and ignorance is bliss!" Rabies in Wolf Which Attacked Housewife Lebanon, Mo. A wild animal that attacked a young California housewife definitely was af flicted with rabies, a report from the state laboratory showed to day. The animal of the type known locally as a wolf attacked Mrs Effie Lou Matthews, 25, Oxnard, Calif., late Wednesday night, as she was visiting with her hus band's parents near Nebo, Mo., in the Ozark Mountains near here. She began taking Pasteur treatments early yesterday be cause she was severely bitten on the face, most dangerous area for rabid bites. Dr. George Weeks, who is ad ministering the painful shots, said they would not affect her pregnancy. The shots were ex pected to take 10 to 14 days to comnlete. Mrs. Matthews was reported in satisfactory condition. Borrower of Book Ruled Not Thief Capetown, South Africa (U.R) The South African Supreme Court has ruled that a man is not a thief when he borrows a book and doesn't return it. Acting Justice Bevers made the ruling in a suit brought by a man trying to recover one of his books. He said, "If this is theft, half the lawyers in town would be thieves. I have on my shelf a borrowed book that I have had for two years To Assure Disease polio to some children. But it said four months of investiga tion failed to reveal the "exact reasons" for the presence of the virus. No action against Cutter was recommended. The report suggested the prob able cause of the incident was the "failure" of safety tests and the process by which the virus in the vaccine was supposed to be killed. It indicated this fail ure could be traced to "funda mental weaknesses" in the orig inal safety standards prescribed by the government. These standards were over hauled drastically May 26 and are now considered adequate The extra testing by the govern ment, revealed officially by Scheele, is viewed as an extra guarantee.
