U.S. For Another
Disarmament Plan
BONN, Germany, May 27 JP—
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
called on the United States today
to submit a new global disarma-
ment plan to the Big Four con-
ference this summer.
He spoke in a lower house de-
bate that wound up with rejection
of a Socialist proposal to postpone
arming of West Germany as the
newest member of the North At-
lantic Treaty Organization. The
vote. 244-145. indorsed Adenauer s
policy of putting German armed
forces in the West's defense lines,
that world disarmament must be
the primary and decisive Issue
when President Eisenhower, Brit-
ish Prime Minister Eden. French
Premier Edgar Faure and Soviet
Premier Nikolai Bulganin hold
their “meeting at the summit.”
The United States, as the world s
strongest power, “can and should
make certain that disarmament is
being given serious consideration
and intensively and effectively ad-
in charge of the water safety pro-
gram at a meeting Friday of the
Red Cross water safety commit-
tee, headed by Mrs. Gene Fath-
eree.
McNeely is director of the city
summer recreation program. He
said the recreation and swimming
programs will be held on alternate
days. Details will be given fully
later.
Registration for swimming will
begin June 9 when all students who
live north of the railroad tracks
will sign up at the high school
field house. Those who Uve south
of the tracks or out of the city lim-
its will register June 10 at Baker
School.
Mrs. F. W. Shotwell, Red Cross
executive secretary, said the chap-
ter is urging parents to have their
children given a physical examin-
ation by the family doctor before
entering the swimming classes.
There will be 10 “stations" for
the swimmers starting with those
who can not swim and progressing
through those who can swim ac-
ross-the pool to the advanced stu-
dents. The “assembly line” teach-
ing method will be for a child to be
advanced to another "station” and
a new teacher as soon as he fin-
ishes learning his lessons in one
phase of swimming. A child will
progress according to his ability.
Intermediate and advanced stu-
dents will learn different types of
swimming strokes and near the end
of the summer, a two-week water
safety class will be offered to those
14 or older
If enough women are interested,
a beginner's class for mothers will
be started. Mrs. Shotwell said.

Wooing
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, May
27 AV-Pr eside nt Tito demanded
today that Soviet Communist boss
Nikita Khrushchev put the Bel-
grade talks strictly on a govern-
mental plane, an informed source
said tonight.
Tito was described as resenting
efforts by Khrushchev to woo him
through a Communist party line
appeal.
Khrushchev's “Dear comrade”
approach apparently has misfired
and Tito's national communism re-
mains intact, the source said.
Khrushchev holds no office in
the Moscow government but Soviet
Premier Nikolai Bulganin is here
with him.
The informant said Tito took his
first opportunity today to reply to
Khrushchevs arrival speech of
yesterday. Tito was quoted as tell-
ing the Moscow delegates he had
agreed to their coming to Belgrade
on the understanding that the talks
would be purely governmental.
The Yugoslavian leader,
with a long record of Communist
activity, was trained in the same
tough school as his Soviet visitors.
He presumably saw in yesterday's
speech an effort to lure him back
into the Cominform. something he
has declared he would never do.
Informed circles here suspected
from the time Khrushchev was
named head of the Soviet delega-
tion that the Russians were coming
here mainly to persuade the Yugo-
slav President to give up some of
his independence. It was doubted
that the Russians were actually
coming as they said to discuss
primarily problems of state.
Today Tito was believed to have
made an effort with his usual
forcefulness to sidetrack the Rus-
sians.
The best informed opinion in this
Balkan capital, where most news
sources have dried up completely,
was that Tito is buying only a
part of Khrushchevs ideas.
It-was a wearisome, day for the
Russians, who had to get up at 6
a.m. to take part in wreath laying
ceremonies honoring the Yugoslav
war dead, then attend morning and
afternoon sessions around the big
room of Gardijski Dom, the
“Guards Home" on the outskirts
of Belgrade.
Khrushchev, Premier Nikolai
Bulganin and other Soviet bigwigs
are accustomed to working through
the night and sleeping most of the
day. Their clothing was wrinkled
and they looked tired and glum as
they entered the conference room
Tito wore a sharply creased
light gray summer suit and he
smiled broadly as he greeted
newsmen and photographers
Khrushchev. who apologized
yesterday for the expulsion of Yu-
goslavia from the Cominform in
1949. apparently did not make a
favorable impression at the start.
Every indication was that Tito
was shying away from closer po-
litical relations

WASHINGTON. May 27 2P —
Surgeon General Leonard Scheele
said tonight there may be enough
Salk vaccine available before the
peak of the polio season to com-
plete the second round of inocula-
tions for nine million school chil-
dren.
Scheele. chief of the U.S. Pub-
lic Health Service, also told a
news conference "It appears quite
certain that some vaccine will be
released next week,” with govern-
ment approval of additional sup-
plies coming "progressively there-
after."
Dr. James Shannon, associate
director of the National Institutes
of Health, brightened the immuni-
zation picture further with an an-
nouncement that, under the newly
revised standards for making the
vaccine. “We have built into the
process a safety factor that was
not there before.”
The vaccination campaign con-
templates a series of three inocu-
lations, or shots, to be given first
to the nine million children in the
first and second grades This pro-
gram is being financed by the Na-
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis.
And it is the first two shots in
this program that Scheele hopes
to see completed by mid-August.
The third shot in the series is
scheduled for seven months later
as a “booster.”
The surgeon general indicated
the first vaccine to be released
next week would come from the
stocks of Pitman-Moore Co., Zions-
ville, Ind., and Wyeth. Inc., Ma-
rietta, Pa.
Shannon gave some details of
the revised manufacturing and
testing standards, which he said
provide for "more frequent test-
ing. more sensitive testing” than
heretofore.
All six manufacturers licensed
to make the vaccine had accepted
the revised standards in a series
of consultations with public health
authorities.
Secretary of Welfare Hobby
called the agreement a heartening
“ray of sunshine.” She also took
sary papers in the appeal. Then, it
may take some time before the
appellate court rules on whether or
not any errors were committed in
the district court trial.

Mrs. Hobby and Scheele ap-
peared before the House Com-
merce Committee as the number
of confirmed polio cases among
persons receiving Salk vaccine
jumped to 111—an overnight in-
crease of 17. Thirteen of the new
cases were nonparalytic.
Today's Public Health Service
report listed the first cases- two
nonpalalytic ones, both in Ne-
braska -among persons inoculated
with vaccine made by Pitman-
Moore Co., Zionsville, Ind.
Some six million persons have
been inoculated since the program,
at a virtual standstill for three
weeks while the government re-
checked safety procedures, wa^
started in mid-April.
Scheele described himself as
"very optimistic now” about the
program's future. He said he hoped
to announce in a day or so when
the first vaccine produced with the
new safety tests will be released.
Auto Woriiers
Prepare Strikes
Against Ford, GM
DETROIT, May 27—UP—Gener-
al Motors' 350,000 plant workers
joined 135,000 from Ford Friday
in making ready for strikes which
could present the Eisenhower ad-
ministration with its most serious
labor crisis yet.
John Livingston. CIO United Auto
Workers vice president in charge
of the union’s General Motors de-
partment, issued special orders to
all GM locals “to stand by for an
emergency."
Ford workers were ordered to
prepare for what would be the
first serious strike since 1950 on
contract offer.
The Ford offer ignored the guar-
anteed annual wage, top issue the
in current talks aimed at writing
new contracts to replace the ex-
piring five-year pacts.
The Ford contract expires at
12:01 a. m. next Wednesday and
G. M. pact runs out June 7.
However. CIO President Walter
Reuther said earlier the giant auto
union wouldn't necessarily follow
a "no contract-no work" policy.
The twin strike threats came as
Ford and GM negotiators met in
another round of separate bargain-
ing sessions with union negotiating
teams.
Both aftefnoon meetings lasted
a little more than two hours.
The GM talks were recessed tor
the Memorial Day Weekend and
will resume Tuesday afternoon.
But because at the closeness of
the Ford contract expiration date,
Ford and the UAW scheduled an-
other bargaining round for Sun-
day morning.
OmM Itay Stock
One of the features of the Ford
offer would be to give union mem-
bers a chance to buy Ford stock
at half the market price. The stock
te scheduled to go on public sale
for the first time later this year.
The union promptly rejected the
Ford otter counts no guar-
x>m-
five-
were moved out.
Storm Damage Widespread
Five children in one family were
killed at Oxford, Kan., near Udall.
Two persons were killed at Chey-
enne. Okla., in addition to the 17
at Blackwell. One man was miss-
ing at Blackwell. Fifteen were
killed in Texas when a B-36 super-
bomber was felled by a gestating
tornado.
One man was killed in Missouri,
two were injured in Arkansas, two
more were injured in Illinois, and
a tornado struck Carson. Iowa, un-
roofing buildings. The plague start-

all of the victims were killed.
