lowed, this amount could cover
nearly 45 million youngsters.
The National Foundation will
supply, free of charge, enough to
give a three shot series to nine
million first and second grade
school youngsters, plus some in
the third grade who participated
in the tests last year.
Doctors will probably have
enough for 21 million children and
for pregnant women who are es-
pecially susceptible to polio.
It would be up to medical so-
cieties, or individual doctors, to
decide whether to give the two-
spaced shot or three bunched to-
gether. No word was available
whether this would be done.
Vaccine sold commercially is
expected to cost from $4.20 to $6
for the three-shot course. Doctors'
fees for giving it would be addi-
tional.
A plea for adults not to storm
doctors' offices to get the vaccine
for themselves came from Dr.
Dwight H. Murray, Napa, Calif.,
chairman of the American Medi-
cal Assn.’s Board of Trustees.
"Give the children priority," he
declared. While private physicians
have to buy vaccine, “there is no
reason why any patient has to be
denied the vaccine for financial
reasons,” he said.
Dr. Salk told a news confer-
ence that vaccinations could be
given during the summer when
polio usually is raging. Giving the
shots "would do more good” than
not doing it if the vaccine is avail-
able, and if a child does not have
any fever at the time.
Results of the great voluntary
mass testing last year might have
been even more heartening except,
for a few facts, he said.
One was that different batches ■
of the vaccine varied in their po-
tency due to differences in the J
way they were prepared. This can
be avoided now by better standard-
ization of the vaccine.
Furthermore, in some lots the
virus, already killed for safety,
was practically “fried” by a pre-
servative and lost ability to stimu-
late as many antibodies.
Another, he thinks, was the five-
weeks spacing of all three shots,
which gave less chance for devel-
opment of antibodies.

Ike Pays Visit
To Gen. Clark,
Gets LLD Degree
AUGUSTA, Ga., April 12—UP—
President Eisenhower paid a
warm visit to an old comrade in
arms at the historic military cam-
pus of The Citadel Tuesday, then
flew here for a week-long golfing
vacation.
After his arrival, Mr. Eisenhow-
er immediately donned golf
clothes for a swing around the
famed Augusta National course,
site of the Masters tournament
last week, despite recurrent at-
tacks of bursitis in his right arm.
He is expected to remain at his
cottage on the edge of the links
for about eight days during which
he will try to get in as much golf
and rest from the rigors of his
presidential duties as possible.
Mr. Eisenhower first flew to
Charleston, S.C., where he accept-
ed an honorary doctor of laws de-
gree from a former West Point
barracks-mate. Gen. Mark . W.
Clark, president of The Citadel.
He addressed the 1.350 smartly-
clad cadets at the 113-year-old mil-
itary college briefly, advising them
that above all. . .you must try to
understand people.”
"Youare given that most price-
less of opportunities, to work di-
rectly and specifically for the wel-
fare of the United States of Amer-
ica,” the President said,
there is no greater honor that
achievable by any American."

The Rev. J. Frank Perry, pastor

the church Tuesday night.
His topic was “CTirist Recogniz-
ed the Pot of Gold”. The invoca-
tion was given by Jo Tooley, and
Keith Bonny was master of cere-
monies. Pianist was Carol Paxson,
and Jerry Sloan was the song
leader.
Cabot Executive
Attends Meeting
At Oklahoma U.
Horace Prince, supervisor of train-
ing for Cabot Carbon Co., was
one of a group of 15 from various
companies who attended a confer-
ence on staff coordination and con-
ference leadership conducted by
the extension service of the Uni-
versity of Oklahoma April 4 to 7
in Norman.
The conference, directed by M. L.
Powers, director of business and
industrial services of the Univers-
ity of Oklahoma's extension divi-
sion, was concerned primarily with
the proper techniques of conducting
a conference.
Wilson Plans
Tighter Rule
On Secrecy
WASHINGTON, April 12—UP—
Defense Secretary Charles E. Wil-
son disclosed Tuesday he plans to
"tighten" military secrecy rules
to “stop giving our potential
enemies so much information”
about America’s new weapons.
He said his program, which may
involve a new system of labelling
restricted material, also will be
aimed at curbing rivalry for head-
lines by the Army, Navy, Air
Force and Marines.
Wilson, at a Jam-packed news
conference, vigorously defended
his recent crackdown on military
publicity. There have been
charges it imposes a “gag” on
military men and restricts the
public’s right to know about mili-
tary preparations.
Wilson stud Jw has no intention
of curbing "the proper flow" of
information about defense activi-
ties. But he conceded under ques-
tioning that his rules might bar
release of information in which
national security is not involved.
Might ‘Talk It Over’
Asked if he had discussed his
new publicity policy with news-
papermen in advance, Wilson said
no and added: "Maybe it might
be a good thing for a group of
editors, reporters and publishers
to talk it over and see what might
be in the national interest.”
Shortly before Wilson's news
conference. Army Secretary Rob-
ert T. Stevens sharply tightened
Army control over release of In-
formation by field commands.
Stevens said that all military
information except newsreel reases
and press conferences must be
cleared by the Defense Depart-
i ment three days in advance unless
it deals with purely local matters.
Local commanders may hold
news conferences and release
Items to the press, radio and TV
without checking the Pentagon
only if their material hqs no
"overriding defense policy impli-
cations” and is
with Army and
tives."
Gives No
Wilson did not
his proposed new
except to say “maybe we will
classify some of our information
a little differently." He said news-
men would like his new rules "as
time goes on.” He said they will
give all reporters "an equal
break."
The secretary also denied he has
restricted officers from talking
with newsmen or answering ques-
tions without clearing through his
office. He said “no directive is a
substitute for good Judgment or
horse sense.” ■
Then Wilson said that "our top
folks" think military information
is being given out which "it would
be much better if we didn’t put
out.”
The White House said last week
that President Eisenhower feels
tfiat some military secrets have
been unwittingly revealed through
news available to the press.
Pressed as to what secrets may
have been given to potential ene-
mies, Wilson said "we talk too
much about details of our develop-
ments." He added “it's our whole
system of publishing information.”
The secretary said he would be
willing to have the United States
New Fiber
Price Set
By Celanese
CHARLOTTE, N. C., April 12
(Spl.i— Celanese Corporation of
America today established a price
of $1.50 a pound, delivered east of
the Mississippi River, for Fortisan-
36 yarn, the new super-strong in-
dustrial rayon fiber developed by
the company for use in power trans-
mission belting, high pressure hose,
fire hose, conveyor belts and other
applications requiring high strength
and dimensional stability.
At the outset the fiber will £
available in 800-denier (the indivi-
dual fiber size being 1 denier per
filament) with an 0.8 twist on a 4-
pound cone. However, it is anti-
cipated that heavier denier yarn,
as well as zero twist yarn, will be
produced later. Plans are also un-
der way for the delivery of yarns
on beams, in addition to cones.
Equipment and machinery are
now being installed at the Rome,
Ga., plant of Celanese for the pn%
duction of Fortisan-36 fiber. Initig
output is scheduled for the fourth
quarter of the year.

Aaaociated Prow News Analyst
It was V-P Day.
The results of the year-long tests
of the new antipolio vaccine were
coming out, and everyone knew
the announcement would contain
news of a great victory. The ques-
tion was, Just how great.
The press room at the University
of Michigan was Jammed. When
copies of the report were brought
in there was a wild scramble as
though the reporters were about
to be able to announce the end of a
war. And indeed it was much the
same, though not quite the final
surrender of the dread disease
which has stricken the heart
the world because it strikes
brutally
There
my Old in.iut .wti, vi nwnruw
N.C., in the summer of 1916. In
those days almost nothing was
known of the causes, or of proper
treatment. That year, too. the vi-
rus was particularly violent. Then
came a flood which cut off many
vital services for a brief time. That
year many of the children did not
eveh escape with paralysis. They
died at widely scattered and dis-
similar spots over the nation, as
they had been dying for years and
as they would continue to die for
many more years. Nothing except
the fight against tuberculosis and
cancer ever engaged the attention
of so many doctors and scientists.
A man who was to be president
got it, and his painful struggle
back to useful life dramatized the
battle. A national foundation was
formed to finance research, the
people contributed dimes and dol-
lars, and now the fight seems
largely won, although it may be
years before it is ended against
all forms.
As was fitting, the victory is that
of a young scientist. Dr. Jonas
F. Salk, for it was against youth
that the disease struck most often.
There is always heartbreak \£hen
such an event comes so late for
so many, but in some respects this
one comes Just in time for vast
areas of the world where polio has
been less of a problem than in
America.
There was speculation, during
the long study when even the
cause was unknown, that people
in congested areas, lacking sani-
tation and proper health measures,
developed early immunities to po-
lio. But in the last few years it
has been seen to roll through
places such as India.
Now they, as well and the
fathers and mothers of the United
States, can know that help is com-
ing. There won’t be enough serum
for all right away. But it will be
coming, along with relief from that
most terrible fear of all, a threat
to your children.
Jaycees Hear
Big Spring
Pastor Speak
Dr. P. D. O'Brien, Baptist pastor
of Big Spring, used a humorous ex-
pression and a nursery rhyme to
bring out two serious messages in
a speech at the Junior Chamber
of Commerce luncheon Tuesday.
Dr. O’Brien, well-known in West
Texas for his humorous speeches,
said a lesson could be learned
from the dialogue in which one
man says, "Well, how did the pota-
toes turn out?" and the other an-
swers, "They didn't turn out. Pa
had to dig them out.”
All worthwhile things in life must
be "dug out," he said, and we
must work if we wish to make a
success. The chief factor in de-
linquency-juvenile or adult—i s
idleness. Dr. O’Brien said.
Quoting the nursery rhyme of
“Jack and Jill’’, Dr. O’Brien com-
mented that “Jill came tumbling
after" could fit too many people
in the world who are afraid to try
or do anything new.
The advantages of our modem
civilization came from people who
were not satisfied to remain the
same and kept pushing toward new
horizons, he said. Progress comes
from "finding new ways to do
old things."
There are always new frontiers,
he said, and if the atomic power
knowledge is used the "way God in-
tended” there is a great future]
ahead for mankind.
Dr. O’Brien was introduced by
the Rev. E. Douglas Carver, pastor
of the First Baptist Church. A mus-
ical selection was presented by Joe
Whitten, church music director,
with Mrs. Carver as his accom- i
panist.
Jaycees were reminded they are
to turn in the ticket books to Pam-
pa Oiler games by Friday.
Daniel Denies
Block Land
Sales Okay
WASHINGTON, April 12 JP-Sen.
Price Daniel issued a statement
through his office today declaring
he had never approved any “block
sales” df lands by the Texas Vet-
erans Land Board when he was a
member of that body.
Texas Atty. Gen. John Ben Shep-
perd, here for school segregation
arguments, had asserted earlier
that minutes of the Land Board in-
dicate Daniel approved such sales.
Daniel is at home in Liberty,
Tex., but telephoned the statement
to his office.
Minutes being airmailed to Shep-
perd, and expected tomorrow, cov-
er June 19, 1949 to Dec. 31, 1952.
Daniel served then on the Land
Board when he was attorney gen-
eral of Texas.
Investigation of the program has
led to indictment of former Tex-
as Land Commissioner Bascom
Giles on charges of conspiracy to
defraud the state.
Shepperd said the same minutes
also, listed him as attending meet-
ings and approving block sales.
“I know I’ve never voted on an
application," Shepperd asserted,
Daniel's statement follows:
"I shall be glad to look at the
minutes and give Mr. Shepperd
every information possible. In the
meantime, I can give him this
much information now:
"During my term as attorney
general, there were two standing
rules in my office with reference
to Veterans Land Board. They
were: 1. That every boad meeting
should be attended by me or my
first assistant; 2. That sales should
be made and approved only on an
individual basis,
"I specifically opposed bulk pur-
chases for what has become known
recently as ‘block sales.*
“If any of these minutes reflect
approval of a block sale by me,
they do not represent the true fact,
and my former assistants advise
me that this is true with respect
to them.
"When the veterans land pro-
gram was first set up. it was I
who insisted that veterans be en-
couraged to select their own land
for purchase and that they certify
that they had inspected it in per-
son.

A. L. STEELE
Secretary
■ Dulles In
lAdlai St
I GOP Idea
I WASHINGTON, April 12—UP—
■ Secretary of State John Foster
■ Dulles said Tuesday the Eisen-
■ hower administration "has been
I and is actively exploring" the
I "very approaches" to the Formo-
■ sa crisis urged by Adlai E. Ste-
■ venson.
I Dulles, at his weekly news con-
I ference, indirectly accused Steven-
| son of stealing the government’s
I ideas for ending the war threat
I in the Far East.
I He also rapped the 1952 Demo-
I cratic presidential candidate tor
I "publicly prodding friendly gov-
I ernments” and "forgetting one
I ally”—the Chinese Nationalist gov-
I ernment on Formosa.
I But the secretary made it clear
I that Stevenson's ideas were close
■ to proposals the State Department
has been working on behind the
' scenes.
Want Joint Guarantee
Dulles gave few details except
to say the government is "seeking
more free world support for the
defense of Formosa" and wants a
United Nations "cease-fire” in the
area.
It is known, however, that the
administration has been consulting
with its allies on two major ap-
proaches :
1. A joint allied guarantee to
defend Formosa against any at-
tack by the Chinese Reds. This
would be accompanied by a cease-
fire in the Formosa Strait. Such
a plan, officials said, would make
the disputed Nationalist-held
islands of Quemoy and Matsu rel-
atively unimportant, either to the
Nationalists or this country.
2. Reopening of UN considera-
tion of the Formosa issue in an
attempt to put the spotlight of
world opinion on any effort by the
Chinese Reds to attack Formosa.
This has run into British objec-
tions.
Warns of Appeasement )
Perhaps significantly, Dulles
said he would not consider omit-
ting the coastal islands of Quemoy
and Matsu from U.S. protection of
Formosa and the Pescadores as a
“craven purchase of peace.”
Dulles had warned against such
appeasement in a speech Monday
night.
Stevenson had said that this
country should ask its allies—and
possibly others—for a pledge to
defend Formosa as a way to avoid
war over Quemoy and Matsu. He
also suggested a UN declaration
against use of force in the area.
