DR JAMES +. SALK. originator of the

told the Association of Research in Ner
vous and Mental Disease recently that the
Gripping form of polio will probably be
ended within five years. Salk said recent
studies have provided the most convincing
evidence thus far that a vaccine will de-
feat the Gripping form of the disease as
soon as the population has been properly
vaccinated.
This is most encouraging report and
herads the end of polio as growing
threat to Americas health Salk also had
other words of encouragement, in his paper

does it occur to them TO apply the

I believe some physicians and
other professional men have this
desire to give every day Of the

other salesman pray about their
work. But how many manufact-

business a part Of their spiritual

White House aides, in which It
w0s suggested that he iesye the
ICC But the official. whose
term has two years TO run, so
far has refused to bulge. He
refused to comment on tine situ-
alton.
The argument used in the eff
fort to GUST Mr.. Johnson. rs,
is that the Civil Service Retire
ment Act compels the retirement
Of employees over 10. The hint
has been dropped that unless
Mr.. johnson steps down volun-
tarily. the President will take
steps to remove him.
Brownell Supports President.
Supporting the White House
position is an opinion by Attor-
ney General Brownell to the ef-
feet that the law requires that
the ICC Commissioner step
down.
But Mr.. Johnson repeatedly
has an opinion to the contrary
on the matter. written by Ed
ward M. Reidy, chief counsel Of
the ICC.
President Eisenhower was
asked at his news conference
today If the White House had
given up efforts to obtain Mr.
Johnson'S resignation. The Pres
ident said he did not know what
the questioner was talking about
that he knew nothing about it.

a question whether he would

Gratis succeed in amending the

He pointed out that the Presi-

whether he will or will not veto
legislation which is still to come
to him. However, he said he
fully realized the power of veto
was his to exercise. The Presi-
dent further commented that he

One thing, the President said

The President has argued that If

will be to borrow more money.

Eisenhower said he and Secre-
tary of State Dulles were in
complete accord that the Pres
ident should act under emer-
gency conditions.
Needs Support Of Congress.
Gen. Eisenhower said, however
that no President could fight q
war without the support of Con-
greSs, which would have to
appropriate funds.
He indicated that the White
House should allow Congress to
act on an emergency If there
were time.
Gen. Eisenhower did not adj
dress himself directly to Secre-
tary Dulles statement yesterday
that the President has authority
to order instant retaliation
without waiting for Congress to
act-against any Soviet attack
on any of Americas allies in the
North Atlantic or Rio treaties.
Gen. Eisenhower said one
couldn't always predict how he
would handle given situation
He recalled the outbreak OF
the Korean war in 1850. He said
Washington'S first act was to
grant air support to the South
Korean defenders.
There was plenty Of time after
that. he said, to decide what
further action should be taken.
Rule Of Reason Needed.
A difficulty, Gen. Eisenhower
told reporters, was that the news
conference was trying to dis
cuss in generalized terms what
would apply in an infinite num-
Der Of situations. He said he
didn't think that could be done.
He said there must be a rule of
reason which differentiates be-
tween an attack on this country
itself and some action which be-
comes American interests in
some far-of corner Of the world
He warned, however, that the
advent of atomic weapons gives
