Nationwide Experiment Planned to Test
Effectiveness Of Recently Developed Shots

An experimental polio vaccine
will be given to between 100000
and a million children in a few

Announcement of the major
move to combat polio was made
today by Basil O'Connor. presi-

Mr.. O'Connor emphasized that

gamma globulin protect polio
victims for only a brief period,
about five weeks.
The vaccine, he said, is aimed
at a complete and permanent
protection against the disease.
The vaccine will be given to
children across the country, in
all economic levels, in order to
make a final determination of
its effectiveness.
Mr.. O'Connor declared that
details of the trial experiment
have not yet been completed, but
that vaccinations must be ended
before June 15-the beginning
of the next polio season.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-A Sem

fuSing to say if he ever had been
a member of the Communist
Party. Svenchansky was an an

At first Svenchansky stated
he never made any kind of in
PRODUCTION knowing it was for
espionage.
Then, pressed about Broth
man. a Queens chemical engi-

Communists World
Movement Declining
Senate Report Says
Power Not as Strong as
Some Election Results
Seem to Indicate
Rv ]. A. O'LeorY
By J. A. O'Leory

The Communist movement is
no longer as strong in Western
Europe as the election returns
continue to indicate, according
to a report filed with the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
today by a special subcommittee.
The report estimates that in
the 16 countries of Western Eu-
rope, Communist parties have
a membership of only about 3
million, even though in national
elections they poll about 13 mil
lion votes.
The report consists of data
on strength of the Communist
movement in all parts of the
world and was compiled for the
subcommittee under the super
vision of Julius N. Calm, COM
mittee counsel.
Explains Large Votes.
In an accompanying state
ment, Chairman Wiley of Wis
consin, explained that frequently
large Communist votes in coun-
tries like France and Italy repre-
sent not so much pro-Commu-
mist sentiment as anti-govern-
ment feeling. He said they are
ballots cast largely out of pro-
test against any incumbent gov
ernment.
The Wisconsin Senator rea-
soned that since a vote for
communism represents the most
extreme form of protest, many
people vote the Communist ticket
for that purpose. although they
are not actually Communists in
their thinking" He said they
may be attracted by Communist
aggressiveness in pushing for
some goal like higher wages,
while actually disapproving long
range Communist goals.
Senator Wiley compared the
variations in Communist propa-
ganda in different countries to a
snake oil" which is offered as
a cure for any ailment. He
warned the free nations not to
count on communism defeating
itself.
InSurrection Improbable.
The Senator pointed out that
no country taken over by COM
munism has freed itself, because
the use of police state methods
by Communists makes insurrec-
ton improbable unless there
should be detection in the armed
forces.
The following are excerpts
from the report:
Western Europe-In spite of
the strength which the Com
munistS still have, they have
lost heavily in membership and
trade union support in the past
few years. They reached their

George Urges Action
To Cancel Rise in
Social Security Tax
Declares Increase
Slated Jan. ! Will
Hurt Little Fellow
By the Associated Press

Senator George, Democrat. Of
Georgia said today Congress
should knock down the billion
dollar social security tax increase
which becomes effective Janu-
ary l.
Senator George, senior Demo-
crat on the taX-handling Senate
Finance Committee, said in an
interview it would be "less than
fair" to persons in loW-income
brackets to let the increase stand
while income tax rates go down.
The net result, he said, would
be a bigger tax load on "the
little fellow" and a tax saving to
others. Many persons don't earn
enough to be liable for income
taxes, but the big majority of
wage earners must pay social
security taxes to finance the
Federal retirement and death
benefit program.
Personal income tax rates,
under existing law, will go down
about 10 per cent on the first
of the year. The excess profits
tax on business expires at the
same time. But January l is
also the date when social Sc
curity taxes are due to go up
from the present 112 to 2 per
cent each on employees and en-
ployerS.
SIS Maximum Jump.
The Treasury has estimated
this increase will bring in about
81 billion more a year. Social
security taxes are collected on
only the first $500 of work.
er's wages. so the maximum
social security tax jump will be
$18 a year.
President Eisenhower last
summer asked Congress to delay
indefinitely the social security
tax increase, but Congress took
no action and the request was
not pressed.
Congress and the executive
department are morally CON-
mitted to eliminate the excess
profits tax and to let the last
raise in income tax expire.
Senator George said. "The sched-
uled increase in social security
taxes should not be retained il
| the other taxes are allowed tx
decline"
Sees No Stability Threat.
He said he thought the ta1
rate could be rolled back to the
existing 112 per cent each fol
employer and employe "for some
reasonably brief period" without
impairing the social security
funds stability.
Representative Carl T. Curtis
Republican, of Nebraska, chair.
man of a special House Ways anc
Means subcommittee studying
the problem, has opposed any
rollback of the social security tax
He said the January / increase
is needed to keep the program
sound.
