navy and then commandeered by
Hitler for his private use. Hitler’s

President Eisenhower proposed
Wednesday, if necessary, to take
over all commercial output of the
Salk polio vaccine.
He told his news conference:
“There will never be a child in
the United States denied this emer-
gency protection for want of abil-
ty to pay. Of that we are absolute-
ly certain. . . .
“It is going to be distributed
equitably to every state in the
union.”
Eisenhower made those two flat
pledges in person. A little later at
the White House, Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty issued a state-
ment saying:
“The President believes the vol-
untary system for distribution is
the best and quickest way of pro-
viding a fair and equitable alloca-
tion of the vaccine to the states.
“The President, however, be-
lieves that no child in this country,
because of inability to pay for
inoculations of because of maldis-
tribution of the supply available,
should be deprived of the vaccine.

Gov. Allan Shivers declined
Tuesday to throw his support to
President Eisenhower’s mammoth
federal road-building plan.
He said so after hearing an ex-
planation of the administration’s
10-year 101-billion-dollar construc-
tion program.
The proposal has been junked in
a Senate subcommittee, but the ad-
ministration hoped to revive it
with support from state Governors,
45 of whom were here as guests of
the White House. The Governors
agreed that something should be
done about highways, but were
lukewarm to doing it by issuing
federal bonds as the Eisenhower
plan provides.
Governor Shivers said the states,
on a pay-as-you go basis, could
build roads more cheaply. He at-
tributed the saving to fierce com-
petitive bidding for road contracts.
The Governor also criticized the
move in Congress to raise federal
gasoline taxes. He thought the Fed-
eral Government should get out of
the gasoline tax field altogether.
The White House Governors’ con-
ference ended Tuesday afternoon
after a report from Oveta Culp
Hobby, Secretary of Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare.
Salk polio vaccine supply con-
trol came in for discussion.
Governor Shivers said he favored
any legislation—state or federal—
to meet the needs for distribution
ofthe vaccine.
