 The President is releasing Smith only because of the extremely im- portant nature of the work to which he is called-the Interna. tional Bank headed by Eugene Meyer" Ross said.
 Smith has been director of the Budget Bureau for more than seven years = period in which the U. s. Government spent around $4OO,. GOO OOO,O 900.
 He was brought to Washington in April, 1889, by the late President Roosevelt. At that time, he was Michigan State budget director.

BidouIt Elected
French Assembly Commissions Him

Paris, June 19- (UP) - Georges Bidault, foreign minister and leader of the Popular Republican Party, was named president premier of France today by the Constituent Assembly.
 The Assembly gave Bidault 384 votes in commissioning him to form new French government to suc- ceed the coalition cabinet of Felix Gouin.
 The Communists abstained in the vote for the New leader of France, whose functions include those of both premier and president.
 Bidaultas selection to undertake the formation of a government was virtually assured earlier today when the Socialists, the Left Republican Union and the Democratic Socialist Grounp agreed to join the Popular Republicans in supporting him.
 The Socialist decision came after police announced that 67 persons had been arrested and one police man wounded in demonstrations climaxed by 8 march on Communist Party headquarters by persons shouting "Thorez to the 'Stake!"
 Maurice Thorez Is the Communist Party leader.
 The demonstrations were led by supporters of Gen. Charles De- Gaulle and were coincident with the meetings of the constituent as- sembly which is expected to elect Foreign Minister Georges Bidault as president.

State Faces Milk Deorth
 Many Producers
 Stop Business

Hartford, June 19- CUP) State Dairy and Food Commissioner Carl M. Sharpe warned today that Con- necticut faces its worst milk short age in history, and that unless something is done immediately to encourage farmers to remain in business, it may last two or three years.
 Sharpe said that production this year will show @ decline of 25,0O0, 900 quarts and that even less may be produced next year. During the past two years 9O2 of the States pro- ducer-dealers have gone out of business, he said. To help overcome the shortage, dealers have been forced to obtain more and more emergency shipments of out-of-state milk. During the first four months of the year he said 100000 quarts had been obtained from inspected sources, and he expected that the total would rise to 10000. 900 quarts by the end of the year.
 Sharpe blamed the cost of feed and price differentials. which gave farmers less than @ reasonable prof 1t. for teh production slump. He ad- vocated an immediate price adjust ment, cautioning that unless this is done more herds will be disposed of end farmers will go into better pay ing enterprises.
 As for heavy cream, the commis- sioner said that while importations will show a decrease of about 3,0O0,- 900 pounds from inspected sources, he expected that shipments into the State from uninspected sources would increase more than 5000, 900 pounds this year.

6, 500 Disappears From Safe
Bozzuto's  Ennptied
 Morks of Force
 Lacking in Police
 Probe Mystery

Police sought today to fathom the mystery sur rounding the report of the disappearance of $6,500 from safe in the John Bozzuto and Sons Gro cery at 1O62 Bank Street sometime during the night.
 Strange circumstances in the case, Inspector Joseph R. Bendler said, included the fact that the door of the store through which thieves entered had not been pried. He said a key apparently had been used. There were no marks on the safe, a small, three-foot strongbox, the Inspector said, and apparently had been opened by someone who was acquainted with the combination.
 Nothing else in the store was dis turbed, detectives reported. No pri- vate papers were missing from the safe and small amount of money in the cash register was untouched. Reluctant to give an opinion pend- ing further investigation, the In- spector merely said, "It looks like a queer situation to me-"
 Patrolman Joseph Flaherty dis covered the door of the store ajar early this morning and summoned Detective James Stack to the scene. The detective reported the safe was closed and locked when he arrived. Later this morning when the safe, was opened by MT. Bozzuto the man reported the loss to police.
 At the, scene later this morning were It. Ernest Pakul, Sgt. Anthony Mariana and Detective Joseph Dun- phy. The officers said owners re- ported the safe was locked last night by one of the four sons who work at the establishment.
 As the investigation continued to- day police were confident that, al- though a curtain of mystery sur rounds the episode, a solution would be forthcoming shortly.

Indians Guineas Ne1u Vaccine Giues Protection, From 1B

New York, June 19-(UP)-Re- suits of 8 six-year study among American Indians in four western states and in villages of southeast Alaska showed today that the vac- cine B-C-G gives definite protec- ton from tuberculosis.
 Announcement of the interim re- port on the first mass-conducted tests in the United States is ex- pected shortly by public health re- ports and follows report by R. G. Ferguson, of the Saskatchewan Anti Tuberculosis Association, in which he said the vaccine was used with some success in Saskatchewan hospitals and sanitoria.
 Dr. Joseph D. Aronson of the Henry Phipps Institute, Philadel- phia, confirmed that the first report on the mass B-C-G vaccinations in this country were ready for distri- button.
 Gives Definite Case
 Results of this study indicated that in higher infected communi- ties B-C-G vaccine was found to give definite protection from tuber- culosis," he said.
 The report in public health re- ports includes paper by Dr. Aron- son and Dr. Carroll E. Palmer.
 It discloses that the tsudy group consisted of BOOT Indian children, from one year to 20 years old, and that the tests began in December, 1885. The study group was selected from larger group on the basis of negative tuberculin reaction.
 The vaccine was given to 1850 with 1,457 not vaccinated. Then followed annual tuberculin tests and chest X-ray examinations. Liv- ing conditions were the same for both groups. During the period, four deaths from tuberculosis oc- cured in the vaccinated group and 28 deaths from tuberculosis occurred in the control" group.
 Studies Made in Rockies
 The study further showed that chest X-rays revealed lesions of tuberculosis in 40 of the vaccinated group, and 185 of the control group. In terms of cases, per 1000 person years, Dr. Aronson said, the rates were Al for those vaccinated and 24.3 for the control group.
 The studies were made in Arizona, Wyoming, North and South Dakota and Southeast Alaska. They are scheduled to continue for another seven years.
 The studies first were originated by the Phipps Institute. and later were participated in by U S. Pulp lie Health Service, the Office of Indian Affairs and the National Tu- berculosis Association.

 Both are returning to the ring after a war-enforced absence of more than four years. Because of this absence and because of their ages-Louis 32 and Conn 28-they are regarded as question marks by the box ing world.

US. Army To.Troin
 Sino Reds
Communist Troops
 To Be Incorporated Into Chinese Army !.

Washington, Juner 19- (UP) = Acting Secretary of State Dean Acheson revealed today that the United States has agreed condition ally to train and supply Chinese Communist troops as a preliminary to incorporating them into a non- political Chinese National army.
 He emphasized that such assist tance would depend on the progress of Gen. George c. MarShall's plan for bringing the Chinese Com munist and Nationalist forces to- gether. He also said only mini mum quantities of equipment" would be supplied.
 He made the disclosure before House Foreign Affairs committee in urging approval of a bill to provide military assistance to China. He said such aid was in the best in- terests of the United States "an orderly world"
 AcheSon said that General Mar shall, special presidential envoy to China and Wartime U. s. Army chief of staff, had agreed to train and supply Communist troops be- fore they are integrated into a single Chinese Army.
 Acheson said Marshall has made "a great deal of progress" in trying to set up a unified army in China.
 He explained that the Communist forces were lacking in the type of organization, training and equip ment which would have made practicable their incorporation into the new non political national army"
 Therefore" he said, the Com munist leaders have asked, and General Marshall has agreed, that their integration with the other forces be preceded by brief period of United States training and by the supply of minimum quantities of equipment"
 This assistance will depend upon the progress of the plan for the amalgamation of all the (ChineSe) armed forces" Acheson said.
