Smith Joins Plea For Vaccine Use Salem U.R) Gov. Elmo Stnith today joined President Eisenhower and federal health authorities in urging Oregonians to take advantage of the present plentiful supply of Salk polio vaccine. The State Board of Health re cently announced that the num ber of polio cases reported in Oregon so far this year was 62 per cent less than during the same period a year ago, the governor pointed out. At the same time, the depart ment urged that all children and adults up to age 45 receive the full series of three inoculations of Salk vaccine at recommended intervals to provide protection before the start of the 1957 polio season. The governor said adequate supplies of the vaccine were on hand. He added that sufficient funds were available through the national polio vaccine assist ance act for almost 325,000 in oculations in Oregon before next July 1. "I urge that private physicians and public health departments use this supply to assure that no one in Oregon be denied the protection of Salk vaccine for financial reasons," the governor said. Outgoing Mail Listed New- closing times for out going mart from Medford, which went into effect Dec. 1, have been announced by Moore Ham ilton, postmaster.

Reg istration also will be held during the first class session. Fee for the welding class is S10. and for the feeding class it is $5, Griggs said.

There will be no limit for the livestock feeding class, he said. 5P&5, Union Meet To Settle Dispute Chicago U.R) Representa tives of the Brotherhood of Lo- comotive Engineers and the Spo- ! kane, Portland and Seattle Rail- i road met today in an effort to settle a dispute which caused a five-day strike last week. Negotiations have been in pro gress since last Tuesday. A spokesman for the National j Mediation Board said work rules 1 pertaining to the extra board, the use of radio in train opera- tion and locomotive changes were at issue. i The strike a week ago was called off after President Eisen hower declared an emergency under the National Railway Labor Act and appointed a fact finding panel. ! The road is owned jointly by the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific. ized resistance. With a handful of antiquated 85 millimeter anti-tank guns, they knocked out more tanks and the huge 152 millimeter Red army seige guns. In the Kil-ian-Corvin area alone, they de stroyed two siege guns and at least six tanks. But finally, courage, ingenuity and old weapons were not enough. In their second attack, the Russians brought in their T-34 tanks. They were virtually in vulnerable to fires. Unlike the 34s their gasoline was carried in internal tanks. I took a long hard look at these new land-going Soviet dreadnoughts. It was the first time they had gone into action before Western eyes. The sleet turrets and closely joined body seams of the T-54s gave little opportunity for flam ing gasoline to cling or pene trate. Exhausts were protected by flaps and pillows were put in the engine louvers to filter out gasoline fumes. Shells from the World War II 85s bounced harmlessly off this most modern tank in mass production in either fide of the Iron Curtain. Unlike the first attack, in the second the Soviets used planes, the MIG 15s and 17s and the IL28s, to bomb strong points Long rifle 152 millimeter guns into on Gellert Hill fired down the resistance areas. But the Hungarians fought on. Men holding out in the post office telephoned Josef Cardinal Mindszeny in the U.S. legation to ask, "Bless us, Father, before we die." They died on the sec ond day. The Russians took no chances? A single shot from a sniper brought a salvo from the heavi est artillery to kill one man Church steeples were system atically shelled because they were choice spots for a sniper. Last Stronghold The last areas to hold out were the great iron and steel plants on what was once called " Red Csepcl," and the indus trial suburb of Ujpcst. They stopped fighting only whom it became clear the Russians would destroy the entire works that the men consider their own. Even after the crushing of re sistance in Budapest, the Strug gle went on in -the country. Stu dents at Saropatak College near Satoraljauhely, not far from the Soviet border, took to the hills as partisans, confining the Russians to the main roadi. As I write this, reports from Budapest indicate fighting may break out again. If it does, I will hope, against all logic and rea son, that a people who have taught the world a lesson in courage will win. A British diplomat said to me one night in Budapest: iTie especial btovea oi uoa. "These are a people who must I I subscribe. e, The REV. MAX If.
