CHICAGO, April 3.-The pub
lie may not get any of the new,
highly promising but still ex-
perimental polio vaccine before
1855 at least.
A group OF the Nations top
medical leaders, including the
heads of the American Medical
Association and the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis, have urged that limited but
expanding studies be carried out
the remainder of 1853 and in
1854 to test the safety and effec-
tiveness of the preparation.
This was disclosed today by
DR.. Thomas M. Rivers, New York,
director of the hospital for the
Rockefeller Institute for Medi-
cal Research, in a letter to the
editor of the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
At the same time, the ANA
Journal said in an editorial that

AFL and Machinists
Differ on Compulsory
Arbitration Proposal
By james Y. Newton

The American Federation of
Labor and one of its biggest
unions were sharply at odds
today over the use of compul-
sorry arbitration in dealing with
national emergency labor dis
putes.
AFL President George Meany
called on State federations and
central labor unions to fight any
legislative proposals for compul-
sorry arbitration such as were
made to Congress last week by
the big AFL International Asso-
citation of Machinists.
Mr.. Meany declared that forced
arbitration of disputes "by a
Government agency is bound to
lead to wage fixing and price
fixing by the Government. That
would spell death to a free econ
omy."
Would Replace Injunction.
A. j. Hayes, president of the
Machinists. urged the House La
Dor Committee to. replace the
Taft-Hartley Acts 80-day court
injunction with compulsory arbi-
tration as a means of settling
disputes and strikes which
threaten the Nations health or
safety.
Under his plan, the President
would set up an emergency board
of arbitration when he found a
dispute posing a threat to the
country. The board would be
made up of public, labor and in
dustry representatives. It's settle
ment recommendations would be
binding and enforceable on the
parties in law.
THE Machinist," the unions
weekly paper, today gave full
support to Mr.. Hayes idea, the
first such plan ever proposed by
a top labor leader.
"As citizens" the publication
said editorially, "we believe that
the overall defense of our coun-
try is more important than any
single dispute between labor and
management"
Calls Plan UnWOrkable.
Mr.. Meany said the AFL al
ways has opposed compulsory ar
bitration and I'VE are just as
firmly against it today" He
called the idea unavoidable, un-
constitutional and dangerous to
the maintenance of a free
economy"
How" asked Mr.. Meany, "un-
der the United States Constitu-
ton can you force employers to
stay in business or workers to
stay on the job under conditions
they consider intolerable?"
Mr.. Meany said the AF'L IA
vored voluntary arbitration" of
emergency disputes. Under that
idea, the parties would be free
to decide whether they would ac-
cept arbitration. If they did &C
cept, the decision of the arbitra-
tors would be binding.

|Vejar Gains Win
Over Scortichini

BROOKLYN R-Move over mid
dleweights - here comes Chico
Vejarl
The collegian from Stamford,
Conn, made his debut as a 16O-
FOUNDER last night by stopping
Italo Scortichini after four rounds
and he attributed his success to
an expanding waistline.
Every guy expects to beat me
by betting me in the body" Chico
said in his dressing room. But
with this new weight I've got now,
I'm stronger and they can't hurt
me as much"
The ex-welterweight scaled 1924
pounds for the bout, by far the
heaviest of his career. With a 4s-3
record, he wants in on the tourna-
ment to be conducted to find a
successor to retired middleweight
champion Sugar Ray Robinson.
Eleven boxers have been listed
to take part in the scramble.
Wen take any of those named
by the National Boxing Association
and New York State Commission"
said manager Steve Ellis.
Vejar needed only one round to
solve the sweeping style employed
by the Italian. Once Vejar got
inside Scortichini's swings, it was
no fight as Chico hammered away
at the left eye. The eye swelled
steadily, and after four rounds DR..
Swetnick of the State Athletic Com
mission ordered the bout halted.
Under New York rules, it was
ruled a technical knockout In the
fourth round.

Sports Roundup
By GAYLE TALBOT

NEW YORK R-There was an
air of quiet, dignified jubilation al
"Golf House" today over the In
auguration of the first real golfing
President this nation has had in
80 years, since the death of Warren
G. Harding.
''Not that golf needs the pub

the executive secretary of the
USGA and curator of the local
shrine, ''but it doesn't figure to
hurt the game either. ! imagine
the pictures of President Eisen.
hover golfing viii cause many peo-
/ pie to take up the game"
So far as Dey has any record,
the only ardent golfing President
besides Harding was William How.
ard Taft, the father of the senator
from Ohio, who left the White
House in 1918.
From the pictures ! have seen
of Taft hitting the ball, ! do moi
imagine he was very skilled at it, .
Dey said. I'm sure that neither
he nor Harding was quite in the
class with Eisenhower. After all,
any man who shoots an IS over
the Augusta Masters Course, as he
did, is a pretty good golfer"
Eisenhower, Dey pointed out,
was one Of 80 members Of the
Augusta club who commissioned a
portrait Of Bobby Jones, which win
be officially unveiled at "Golf
House" Jan. 81. II Is planned that
Bobby viii attend the ceremony il
his illness permits him to make
the trip from Atlanta.
Though Harding, from all &C.
counts, was only slightly removed
from the duffer class, there was
no question of his devotion to the
game. He was a member of the
Executive Committee of the USGA
IN the years he was president. and
in. 1921 he presented the Open
Championship Trophy to Jim
Barnes at the Columbia Country
Club in Chevy Chase.
Perhaps not generally known is
the fact that the Harding Trophy,
emblematic Of the national public
links team championship. was put
up by the then president. There is
a story, apparently substantial.
that the bin for the cup came in
after Harding's death in office. and
that the USGA absorbed il.
