Beware Of Sharpies,
d. c. Public Told

Washington received q warn
ing today to be on the lookout
for "sharpies" operating in con-
nection with the forthcoming
national convention of the
American Legion.
Convention officials said the
public generally, as well as bust
rlessmen, should beware Of such
operators.
Though the convention is six
weeks away, there have been re-
ports here of telephone solicita-
ton for advertising in non-auth-
orized and nonresident pro-
grams, and for the sale of tickets
to non-authorized dances in the
name of the Legion.
The convention corporation
has appointed Theodore John
Christensen, Inc. of Washing
ton, the official decorator. The
company was selected in COM
petitive bidding and won the ex-
elusive use of the American
Legion seal in its decorations.
Official photographers have
been appointed and concession
aires on the streets during the
Convention, August 80 through
September 2, will be licensed by
the District government.

BY the As.oeiassd Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 20.
Ray H. jenkins said today he
will not permit his name to 60
on the November general elec-
ton ballot for United States
Senator regardless of whether he
is nominated in the Republican
primary next month.
Positively, definitely and
finally. ! am not a candidate
and will not be candidate this
year." said Mr.. Jenkins, Knox
vile lawyer who gained the pub
lie eye as special counsel in the
Army-McC arthy hearings in
Washington.
Despite his public announce
ment July 8 that he was not a
candidate, Mr.. jenkins name
will be on the ballot as a candi-
date for the Republican sena-
torial nomination in the August
primary.
He failed formally to notify
the State Republican Primary
Board of his intention not to
run. although he had been quail
fed as a candidate. Robert c.
Gregory of Memphis is the other
qualified Republican candidate.
Mr.. Jenkins said apparently
it was too late" to have his
name removed from the primary
ballot But he added:
II would definitely and posi-
lively not permit my name to
be printed on the ballot for the
November election"

Peterson Says Air Attack
Would ParaIYze Traffic

An air attack on Americas
cities would result in a monu-
mental traffic jam, Federal Civil
Defense Administrator Val Peter
son said last night.
Speaking at the annual dinner
Of the local chapter of Sons of
the American Revolution, Mr.
Peterson said persons evacuating
the cities would have to walk
four or five miles from the CEN
trail section before they could
be picked up by organized trans
port.
This county relies on a COM
pick advance warning network,
he said. Although 1t is designed
to give the alarm four to six
hours before attack, congested
central areas could not be evacu-
ated in that time without mucn
confusion.
Mr.. Peterson said his agency is
now working with city govern
ments to improve road evacua-
ton plans.

Pittsburgh Pupils Given
Solk's Vaccine Injections

PITTSBURGH. Feb. % Dr.
The first batch Of city school
youngsters today received their
injections of Salk's vaccine,
which science hops will confer
immunity from infantile paraly-
sis.
DR.. Jonas Salk. discoverer Of
the vaccine. administered the
injections, as he will to all 5000
first, second and third grade
pupils between now and June
in 10 Pittsburgh schools.
Under terms laid down by DR..
Salk. the names Of the children
receiving inoculations were with
held. They were given no prior
warning Of the injections.
A total Of 1877 youngsters re-
ceived the injections today with
scarcely a whimper.
DR.. Salk has planned the tests
here so that he can watch the
vaccine's effect step by step in
the youngsters receiving it.
Blood tests will be given with
the injections to record the prog
ress OF the vaccine in building
up immunization to polio.
The tests here are the first
large-scale effort in the Nation.
The vaccine has been tested, over
a period of years. on countless
laboratory animals and on more
than 600 human beings.
The vaccine Is quite different
from gamma globulin. "A vaccine
stimulates the human body to
produce its own antibodies, the
natural soldiers against a disease
germ. Gamma globulin is a
blood fraction which contains
antibodies made by other per-
sons. It is a dose Of borrowed
antibodies. which remain in your

Secretary Mitchell
Gets Cool Reception
From Clio al Flint
BY the AssoeiGsed Press

FLINT, Mich, Feb. 23.-Sec-
rotary Of Labor Mitchell came to
Flint today to get a first-hand
look at labor. He got it.
More specifically, the cabinet
member ran smack into:
l.. A violence-threatened AFL
jurisdictional fight which forced
a detour in his tour of Flint
auto plants.
2. A somewhat cool reception
from the CLIO.
8. A tiff between the AFL and
the Go as to how warm a re-
ception should be given the Re-
publican cabinet member.
Mr.. Mitchell came here pri-
marily for a major policy speech
tonight at a delayed Lincoln Day
gathering sponsored by the Gen.
esee County Republican organ
ization. He also figured the visit
would give him a good opportu-
nifty to view labor at the rank
0nd-f1le level.
Buick Plants Picketed.
As the Secretary hit town
police and about 800 picketS cir
culated around General Motors
two Buick plants. The pickets
were AFL building tradesmen,
who have threatened the use of
force If necessary against Detroit
Local 299 of the ALL Transfers
Union. The feud is over which
union should have exclusive
rights to handle removal of Gov
eminent machinery from the
Buick plants.
Seven AFL leaders and Is CIO
officials breakfasted this morn
ing with Mr.. Mitchell. All the
unionists insisted on paying their
own checks.
One CIO spokesman was
quoted as saying the CIO might
be accused Of political PARTISAN
ship" if it took part in any of
Mr.. Mitchell's itinerary other
than the breakfast.
This brought from an AFL
spokesman the comment that
the CIO was showing bad man
ners." He said: ut shouldn't be
q reflection on any one to be
see with a Secretary of Labor,
not matter what his politics"
Itinerary Is Changed.
Mr.. Mitchell's itinerary was
changed to avoid a visit to the
two Buick plants.
All was not feuding, however.
After today'S breakfast President
Joe Berry of Buick Local 500,
CIO United Auto Workers, said
the CLIO and Mr.. Mitchell were
in basic agreement" on unem-
ployment compensation. But he
said the CIO preferred direct
Federal action instead of waiting
for State Legislatures to boost
jobleSs benefits.
