WASHINGTON IN - Vernard F.

ington newspaperman and part
time party headquarters worker,

means subcommittee earlier this
week that Bond made such pay
meni.
Sherman said he arranged q
meeting between Bond. who lives
In nearby Fairfax County, Va, and

Mr. McGrath suggested Federal-aid program which
would provide matching funds for states the building

the field Of hospital construction also in the field of
highway construction.
McGrath further stated that there was not single
state territory which did not have school housing
problem. He advocates abandonment of obsolete school
houses and the construction of plants based on the
anticipated need indicated by the number of babies
born in recent years.
The 83rd Congress may may not take action as
Commissioner McGrath proposed However the new sug-
gesonfor the construction of the nations elementary

seek to avoid Federal nroads into school operations

HAL BOYLE SAYS

WILMINGTON, N. C. IA mil
lion flaming azaleas have drawn
l00, 900 visitors here for one of the
Southland's greatest festivals of
flowers.
Every front yard is aflame with
prideful bloom in this mecca of
nature lovers. The queen of the
annual four-day show is lovely
Alexis Smith of Hollywood, pretty
as an azalea with two stems.
But where there's a queen there
ought to be a king. And the king
Of the flower festival here, pardner,
is a pint sized Hopalong Cassidy
called Bobby Benson.
The grownups come to admire
the azaleas and the burning red
bud, but the kids have got a bad
case of hero worship for Bobby.
Bobby has achieved the dream
Of every American boy. He became
famous cowboy before reaching
his teens.
Young Mr.. Benson at the ripe
old age of IL is radios top cow
hand. His exploits as boss of the
B-Bar-B Ranch are broadcast by
$50 Mutual network stations, more
than double the number that carry
such older horse opera standbys
as Gene Autry and Hopalong him
self.
Bobby gets about 1900 fan letters
a week. He packs two plastic
handled gats. He may be no faster
on the draw than Roy Rogers,
but has one clearcut edge over
every other rival in the profess
sional cowboy field. He is the only
one who can sing soprano.
"But my voice is getting deeper
every day." said Bobby, who has
baritone yeafnings.
Many a child star is ruined by
adulation. But Bobby has never
let his honors 60 to his head, al.
though naturally ne is proud that
he is the only junior deputy OF
the National Safety Council and
has had a statocriiser named after
him. Some people live TO be seven.

Georgi M. Malenkov's government
announced a sweeping amnesty
program Sat. to free Soviet pris-

state.
The amnesty decree, issued by
the PreSidium of the Supreme So
Wet. said the pardons had been
made possible by a decrease in
crime and by the consolidation of
the Soviet state system. The de-
cree was published prominently in
Russian newspapers and broadcast
by Moscow radio.
The full amnesty program ex-
tends to most persons serving
five years or less in prisons, cor
receive labor camps and other
places of detention. Those serving
more than five years viii have
their sentences reduced by half.
The pardonS specifically do not
apply, however, to anyone serving
more than five years for counter
revolutionary crimes, large-scale
theft or embezzlement of public
property, gangsteriSm or premedi-
tated murder.
Some prisoners viii be freed re-

Prosecution viii be halted, mean
while, in all cases falling into
these categories and in cases in
which the major sentence would

The decree also called for re.
examination of the USSR'S crimi-

Ministry to submit recommends,

The decree said the government

The amnesty was the second pro
claimed by the Soviet Union since
World War II. Shortly after hostili
ties ended, the government an
nounced a broad amnesty under
which large number of criminals
were freed and prosecution was
halted on many cases under trial.
In an editorial, the government
newspaper IzveStia described the
decree as "a manifestation of the
strength of the Soviet structure. "

LOOKS Good BEING DEVELOPED RAPIDLY
Polio Vaccine Won't Be Ready This Summer
BY ALTON [. BLAKESLEE
AP Science Reporter

NEW YORK R-The new polio
vaccine looks good and is being
developed rapidly, but you won't
get it this summer.
The creamy white vaccine has
worked well in 90 persons-mostly
children-but it has a long way
yet to 60, DR.. Jonas E. Salk of
the University Of Pittsburgh said
last night.
The vaccine is made up of all
three types of virus which can
cause human polio. The viruses
are killed, and emulsified or ho-
mogenized in mineral oil to step
up their ability to create antibodies
against polio, without causing in
lection.
This vaccine, disclosed last jan
uary, gave all 80 persons protective
antibodies against ell three types
Of virus, Salk reported in the jour-
nal of the American Medical As
ISOLATION. Not one got sick.
BY every expectation, ii would
actually make them throw off any
epidemic or invasion by live polio
virus. The vaccine protects mon.
keys that way. Humans. of course,
are not Intentionally given a dose
Of virus.
The next step Is to try il on
more and more persons to make
sure it is as good as it looks,
Salk explained last night at sci
ence-press dinner of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis.
But Salk, 50, said, "We have not
yet had 4 chance TO decide on
what the next steps will be.
We still have work to do before
we can 60 out on broad scale"
Twenty years ago vaccine was
used widely with tragic results.
Some children died. some were
paralyzed. In those days little was
known about the mysterious 20.
lilo virus, and it was not known that
there were three dangerous types.
Tests Of the new vaccine will
not be rushed too rapidly. nor de.
layed unduly,'' said Basil O'Con.
nor, foundation president.
| Enthusiasm about this vaccine is
plain. But it isn't known just how
long the vaccine can protect. II

maybe years.
