Polio Booster Shot Suggested Chicago (Science Service) An annual booster shot of polio vaccine, and possibly two such shots, has been rec ommended by a research team at Michael Reese hospital here. A live-year study involving 4,000 children who had re ceived a Salk-type polio vac cine showed that within one to three years after getting their first three shots the lev els of immunity drop. Aftera booster, however, the immunity levels reached a higher level and fell less than after the primary im munization. After a second booster "there was even better response," the researchers re port in the Journal of the American Medical Associa tion. It seems possible, they ex plained, that once the polio antibodies, or polio virus fighters, are produced, they will be present within tHe body at very low levels for life. Actual virus exposure or booster shots will "remind" the body to produce more of these virus fighters. Thus, persons who - have once shown antibodies is prob ably 'still immune. However, it. is preferable to have a de tectable amount of antibodies present in the blood stream and (he booster shot helps provide them, the team said. The novels of Jules Verne who died in 1905 predicted the age of airplanes, televis ion and submarines. Oregon Delegation Has Little Sympathy for Labor Bill Foes A- Safet Smith Br A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington (Special) Ore gon members of Congress are showing little sympathy for the harsh crit icism of cer tain labor lead ers aimed at the Kennedy Ervin labor re form bill. Most of them hold the view that-labor of ficials ought to get behind a move to adopt reform leg islation this year because the public demands such action from Congress. A number of Oregon labor officials have been to Wash ington recently calling on the state's congressional delega tion. Among them was Clyde Crosby, international organ izer for the Teamsters in Ore gon, who was urging a string of amendments which some lawmakers concluded would practically rewrite the bill. The Kennedy bill passed the Senate by a vote of 90 to 1. Teamsters are giving Sen. Wayne Morse credit for hav ing successfully added a num ber of their amendments to the bill on the Senate floor, but these were only minor procedural amendments. Bill Before Committee The bill is now before the House Labor Committee, of which Rep. Edith Green (D Ore.) is a member. ! "I do not agree with labor leaders who oppose this leg islation." she said. "I think they are short-sighted, and I've told them if no bill is passed to take "care of abuses on part of a small handful of labor officials and employers, I think the next Congress will pass a bill that will make the Taft-Hartley bill look Jike good clean fun." Mrs. Green singled out Teamster President James R. Hoffa, saying she regarded his threat of a national general strike as "an outrage." She said she has "many friends in the labor movement, and this does not express their senti ments," referring to Hoff a's remarks. Mrs. Green said she would prefer the bill as it emerged Medford&Tribune 2nd SECTION MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1959 Pages 1-10 r m ' I i m ?

She said she thought some; procedural amendments were in order, but that the Kennedy bill is a "reasonable bill." She said she opposes a long list of amendments being promoted by the Teamsters. Porter Sees Duty Rep. Charles O. Porter (D Ore.) said "we have a duty to put through a law that will aid honest labor members against dishonest, unscrupul ous officials." But he said the "problem is to allow union members to air their grievances without Sauvies Farmers Threaten Lawsuit Portland -0PD- A group of angry Sauvies island farmers said Wednesday that a dike protecting their property was damaged extensively Tuesday when a group of Canadian "Corvettes" headed up the Columbia river and left de structive waves in their wake. They threatened a lawsuit. The five farmers claimed the Canadian vessels steamed past the north end of the is land at excessive speed. The Columbia river currently is at its highest mark of the year because of the spring runoff. ' The farmers said the water washed away much of a 2,600 foot rock revetment on the river side of the levee and ate into 20 to 25 feet of the slope in places. ; paralyzing the union, because you will always have some soreheads who don't like the way things are going." Porter was critical of the AFL-CIO for initially attacking the Senate-passed bill, rather than taking a positive stand in fav or of some reforn legislation. (Sen.' Richard N. Neuberger took a similar stand in a Sen ate speech, deploring "nit picking"1 or "frivolous objec tions" being raised by labor. No Need to Hear "During the 1920s and 1930s, such ruthless utility magnates as Insull and others objected violently to any government regulation, no matter how moderate," Neuberger observ ed. "As a result, they got a type of regulation which utili ty executives have been com plaining about ever since. In my estimation, no unionist of honesty or a fundamental be lief in democracy need fear the Kennedy-Ervin bill as pas sed by the Senate. I trust the House, likewise, will enact the bill." Rep. Al Ullman agreed that Congress must pass some kind of bill and that the AFL-CIO is "going to have to take a labor bill." But he said he didn't want any "anti-labor bill," only legislation to "put more democracy in the unions and clean them up." HELP US! We Need Clothing, Shoes. Dishes, Furniture. Wo Pick Up.
