T01TRTEZH MIDFOBD (OREGON) MAIL THIBUNK Sharp Jump Noled In Polio Cases During Last Week Washington (U.PJ The Pub He Health Service today report ed a tharp jump in polio cajes last week. But it said the in crease was strictly seasonal. There ware 112 cases last week compared to 85 the week before. But last week's total was considerably less than the 240 cases reported in the comparable week of 1955. So far this year, there have been 1744 cases compared to 228S for the same period last year. There have been 935 par alytic cases this year and 954 for the same period of 1955. This is the first time this year that the paralytic rate has fallen be hind last year. The ' paralytic cases last week were 53 com pared to 85 in the comparable week of 1955. The Health Service released . statistics on the incidence of polio so far this year in various age groups in Florida, Louisiana and Washington. These showed less polio among the Salk vaccinated age groups in Florida and Louisiana but not Washington. However, the Health Service, emphasized that "since the vaccination status of the reported cases was not slated, no conclusions can be drawn with respect to the ef ficacy of vaccination in the var ious age groups."

Undersecretary of Commerce Waiter Williams got a big hand Thursday with a speech which plugged for the vice-president. There has been a lot of behind-the-scenes infighting in re cent months involving Nixon's friends and spokesmen of the citizens organization. Nixon's friends went all-out for an en dorsement of their man and a change, in the organization's name to make it read: Citizens for Eisenhower and Nixon. Will No Budge The organization would not budge and will not, although some of its top people would welcome an immediate Nixon endorsement. Organization Republicans gen erally would welcome an imme diate endorsement. Typical of that sentiment was last week's action by the Senate Republican campaign committee urging a unification of all campaign ef forts in behalf of the Eisenhow er administration. The commit tee significantly added: "Such unified efforts should include, in campaign activities generally, the coupling of the names of President Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon and the urging of voters to support the entire Republican ticket." That will not budge the citi zens' group, either. Their plan now is to ignore Nixon until he is forced upon their attention by the Republican national conven tion next August in San Fran cisco. Only then, if he is re-nominated, will the names of the two men be linked. The citizens organization's top people have heard from several Republican members of Congress that a citi zens for Eisenhower, but not for Nixon, campaign would be un welcome in some important areas if Nixon again were on the ticket.

The President told the delegates their organization should fight not only for his reelection but for the election next November of a Republican Congress. The citizens hope to make a lot of political medicine in southern states this year as they did in 1954. How to plug for a Republican Congress in the south without losing some Dem ocratic voters who might sup port Mr. Eisenhower again is something for the citizens or ganization to ponder. They might solve that one by an application of practical poli tics in which the organization could work for Republican con gressional candidates where it was wise to do so and ignore congressional contests in haz ardous areas. Four Students Die As Car Misses Curve Warm Springs, N. M. (U.PJ Four students from Brigham Young university at Provo, Utah, en route to their homes in Georgia were killed today, and one was seriously injured, when their automobile left the road one mile south of here. The dead were tentatively identified as Virgil Vincent Geiner, 19, Quitman. Ga.; the driver; Gwendolyn Odem, 18, Udowici, Ga., Yvonne Lott, 18, Fitzgerald, Ga.. and Albert L. Middlebrooks, 18, Quitman, Ga. The injured youth was identi fied as James Randall Brannen, 24. Jacksonville, Fla. The car failed to negotiate a dangerous curve' in the moun tainous country and plunged off the road. Authorities said the curve was marked for 35 MPH, but the car tried to make it at high speed. The dead and the injured were taken to Albuquerque. Ti wist & &mMs??U. CiiTH til A Hearing Aid Talks Like Jet-Age Pilot Honolulu (U.PJ Herbert Drechsler wants his colleagues at the U.S. Weather Bureau sta tion at Honolulu Airport to understand that he did not talk like a jet-age pilot. His hearing aid did. It did not particularly disturb 47-year-old Drechser when his battery-operated ear piece began to spout without warning such Air Force jargon as: "Tower to Yellow Dog make approach runway four left,"or "Tower to Red Dog. You're 6',i miles out. You should be in in two minutes. You should be at 600 feet." What Drechsler found a bit disconcerting was the looks of astonishment he got from fellow workers who often could clearly hear his hearing aid "talking" from a distance of several chairs away. Then, they were wont to interrupt with him, "What did you say, Herb?" It didn't help matters much when he had to reply, "I didn't say anything; sit was my hearing aid." One got the impression that Drechsler rather enjoyed listen ing in on the Air Force fre quency sometimes used by jet pilots and the control tower at Hickam Air Force Base a few hundred yards away. Investigation revealed that the cause of it all was a newly in stalled air force radio frequency sometimes used for communica tions to the tower by jet planes. This frequency because of its classified call letters is known in Civil Areonautics Authority circles as the "Jerk." For some reason probably a high resistor grid lead Drechsler's hearing aid was sensitive to reception of the frequency, and the wiring in the piece probably acted as a re ceiving antenna for the signal from the Air Force transmitter nearby. Drechsler accidentally dropped his hearing aid one day and sent it back to the States for repairs. He now uses a substitute of a different manufacture" that picks up only normal room conversa tion and noise, He wonders jf his old one will still pick up the tower when it gets back.
