KOBE, Japan, Mar. 2.-Chinese
airmen who attacked two Ameri-
can merchantmen at Tsingtao,
China, Monday were "out to kill"
crewmen of the Pioneer Dale said
here today.
At least seven bombs were
dropped and hundreds of rounds
of machinegun bullets were fired
at them, officers and men re-
ported.
They described the attacking
planes as P-51s and B-25s of the
type used by the Chinese Nation
alists. Nationalist sources have
admitted a raid on Tsingtao.
Crewmen could not further iden-
tify the attackers.
The riddled United States Line
vessel, which arrived here late to-
day from Tsingtao, was barely
missed by two of the seven bombs
dropped, Capt. James A. F. Knowl-
ton of West Islip, N. Y, said. He
estimated at least 200 machine
gun bullets ripped into the ship.
Henry BaloniS of Warrior Run,
Penn, bow lookout on the
Pioneer Dale, said some of the
bombs straddled the other Amer
lean, ship. the Flying Clipper,
which also was strafed. Balonis
said he saw three two-motored
bombers in the attack. He said
they wheeled inland and bombed
the Red-held port of Tsingtao
while shore batteries blazed away
at them.
The Flying Clipper lis oper-
ated by the 1sbrandtsen Line Of
New York.
The lookout said he saw an
other American Ship. the New
World Victory operated by the
Pacific Far East Lines, at the
dock in Tsingtao. Her captain
earlier said she was not attacked,
"The fighter pilot who made
the first run on the Dale did not
try to scare anybody" Balonis
said. "He tried to kill us"
Herbert D. Smith, 26. of Louis
vile, KY. was the sole casualty
on the Pioneer Dale. Els face
was hurt. He said he did not,
know whether he was hit by
bullets or fell in the wheelhouse
during the attack. He was bleed
ing at the mouth when he rose,
he said, and he had a large sized
hole in his shirt.
IT was more frightened by this
attack than when we were at
tackled by the Germans while I
was seaman on a convoy to
Murmansk, Russia" he said.

CHICAGO, Mar. 2.-Scientists
have disclosed development of a
vaccine that has immunized 80
per cent of experimental animals
against one form of infantile
paralysis.
In report to the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis, researchers at Michael Reese
Hospital here said they obtained
the vaccine by bombarding polio
virus with new type of ultra
violet light.
They also said they are aiming
at form of the vaccine that will
be safe and effective against each
of the presently known three
types of polio. The report said,
however, that much more work
must be done to refine the pro-
cedure before human trials of the
vaccine can be attempted.

of the Institutes research foun-

team that developed the vaccine
said the 80 per cent immunity
rate was scored on a colony of
mice. He said the serum will not
be tried on humans unless or
until it can give immunity to all
forms Of polio.
DR.. Levinson said the next step
in the research is to use the same
ultra violet light treatment on
the other forms Of the virus and
test the vaccine on animals. He
explained the ultra violet light
kills the virus, but does not de-
stroy its ability to stimulate i'm
munity in a patient.
DR.. Levinson said heat or chem
ical destruction of the virus, the
usual method for preparing vac
cines, does not work on the polio
virus because these agents also
kill the immunity factor.

Science Foundation
Approved by House;
Bill in Conference

The National Science Founda-
ton bill-a legislative project of
two Presidents-was ready today
for adjustment of differences be-
tween Senate and House versions
after passage in the lower cham
ber yesterday.
Administration leaders pre-
dicted there would be little diff
Guilty in bringing the two houses
into agreement.
Meanw lille, Representative
Priest, Democrat, of Tennessee,
author of the original House ver-
sion, suggested that the founda-
ton should be headed by DR..
Vannevar Bush-top man of the
Nations wartime scientific re-
search.
Mr.. Priest said appointment of
DR.. Bush would be well received
by many House members. He said
he would recommend it TO Presi-
dent Truman.
First Proposed in 1941.
Mr.. Truman and President
Roosevelt urged establishment of
the foundation to foster basic re-
search in various sciences. The
agency first was proposed by the
late President in 1941.
AS approved by the House yes
terday, the bill would establish .
24-member professional board to
administer the program of the
foundation. A $15,000-a-year di-
rector would be the administra-
tive head of the foundation.
The agency would finance schol-
arships and fellowships for re-
searchers in such subjects as
physics. chemistry, mathematics
and engineering. The work sup
ported would be theoretical in
vestigation-rather than research
directed toward a particular use.
Before approving the bill by a
roll call vote of 247 to 1875, the
House wrote in a number of Sc
curity safeguards. All employees
and beneficiaries of the founda-
tion would be subjected to a thor
ough FBI check. Foreign scien-
lists who might join in founda-
ton projects under international
agreements would have to undergo
the some check.
Instead of the open authority
given in the original Priest bill,
the House voted to limit first-year
expenditures of the foundation to
$500,000 and set a maximum Of
SIS million for any single years
program thereafter.
No money would be provided by
the bill. Funds would have to be
sought through a later appro-
priation bill.

VETERANS PREFERENCE
Former Civil Service Commis-
sioner Arthur S. Flemming has
issued strong denial to charges
by various veterans groups that
the Hoover Commission person.
mel recommendations would de-
stroy veterans preference in Gov
ernment employment.
Mr.. Flemming, who served as
a member with the Hoover group
and is now president of Ohio Wes-
leyan University, declared the de-
centralization of hiring authority
to the individual agencies recon-
mended by the Hoover Commits
sion would multiply the veterans S
chances of getting Federal job. u
when veterans name ap-
pears on a centralized list main
tanned by the Civil Service Com
mission, he is considered for
employment by Just one agency
at a time" Mr.. Flemming de-
clared. Under a decentralized
system, his name may appear on
lists maintained by half a dozen
agencies, and he may be given
consideration simultaneously by
all of these agencies"
MI. Flemming said the Hoover
proposals would still give veterans
priority in obtaining Federal jobs
and said that the Hoover group
advocated Nationwide recruiting
programs for the next three or
four years to place veterans in
specially designated positions.
Regarding the Hoover proposals
for changing the Governments
observation-disclosures program to give
greater job protection rights to
non-veteran careerists, Mr.. Flem-
ming said veterans still would re-
tain an advantage over non-vet-
Grams.
Aside from that, the proposal
to give non-veteran careerists a
somewhat greater degree of job
retention rights is "a fairer
method" and, Sin the long run,
1t would mean that the whole
concept of preference for veterans
would rest on a sounder founda-
tion,' Mr.. Flemming declared.

U. S. Flag Flying.
Capt. Knowlton said the ship
was strafed at masthead height.
He added the pilot should have
been able to identify the Ameri-
can flag. which was flying. He
added he would have fired back
if the ship had been permitted
by law to carry armament.
The tall. handsome captain was
under attack several times during
the war as master of Pacific sup
ply ship. He said both the bomb
ers and fighters at Tsingtao at
tackled without warning.
The situation was complicated
Capt. Knowlton said. by a hysteri-
cal Chinese Communist pilot who
was aboard.
He said he anchored the Pioneer
Dale outside of Tsingtao the night
before. AS the pilot was taking
them into the breakwater the next
morning, the first bomb fell from
a plane at high level, the captain
said.
Capt. Knowlton said the pilot
wanted him to anchor immediate
ly. The captain said he ordered
the ship to proceed.
Proceeded Out to Sea.
While he was on the bridge at
tempting to turn the ship, Capt
Knowlton said the Chinese pilot
from the wheelhouse ordered the
anchors dropped. Capt. Knowf-
ton ordered them raised again.
At this point with the ship al
most dead in the water, the night
ers came in low, raking the
Pioneer Dale with each strafine
run.
Capt. Knowlton said he man
aged to turn his ship around sin
the midst of all that mess" and
proceeded about rs miles out to
sea.
The ship later returned to the
outer harbor and dropped the
pilot into boat loaded with
Communist soldiers. Then it put
to sea again.
Capt. Knowlton said he will
check damage to his ship before
proceeding to other Japanese
ports and the United States.
The 8,281-ton ship was to have
taken on cargo at Tsingtao.

Christ Church Firm
On Churchyard Site
For New Parish Hall

The congregation of Alexan-
dria's historic Christ Church last
night stuck to its plans for a new
parish hall in the churchyard.
The site has been criticized by
two members of the Alexandria
Board of Architectural Review,
Mrs. Robert M. Reese and Worth
Bailey.
Mrs. Reese, who also is a men,
ber of the church, complained
that at least 10 graves would have
to be moved. She also said the
parish house would dwarf" Christ
Church. where George Washing
ton and Robert E. Lee worshipped.

tor, told the congregation last
night there is no evidence that
any one had been buried in the
southeast corner of the church.
yard where the new parish hall
will be built. He said the 10
tombstones there now had been
moved from other parts of the
yard.
He added that the first Alex
andria library formerly occupied
the site, making it unlikely that
any graves were ever there.
Although Mrs. Reese attempted
to dissuade the congregation from
going through with the plans.
there was no move to rescind ear
lier approval. The only issue on
which vote was taken last night
was whether to borrow $4,000
to finance the new building. This
carried, l69 to 9. Mrs. Reese was
among the dissenters.
The new building is expected
to cost 100000. Mr.. Lille said
the construction contract would
require a superintendent to be
on the lookout at all times dur
ing excavations for signs of
graves. If any are uncovered, Mr..
Lille said, the remains will be
transferred elsewhere in the
church ward
