Taking a calculated risk on the

Taking a calculated risk on the
even of another March of Dimes
campaign, the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis has or
dered S9,000,000 worth of Salk
vaccine readied for use in the
spring. This order for vaccine is
one of the reasons the National
Foundation will be seeking S64,-
100000 next month.
During 1854 the National Foun-
daion granted epidemic aid ad-
vances of $470, ,050 to 35 of the 8s
chapters in Ohio; those chapters
receiving the advances had ex-
hausted their treasures in paying
for patient care.
With ''it's bigger job now" as
their watchword, all Ohio chapters
of the National Foundation are
poised to conduct a successful
March of Dimes campaign in Jan
uary.
Adding impetus to the March oi
Dimes will be the first organized
effort among teen-agers to raise
funds. Miss Jeri Suer, a senior a
Wilmington High School, is Ohio
chairman of TAP (Teens Agains
Polio). These youth groups arr
planning activities to raise fund.-
which they will contribute to tn
local March of Dimes campaign.

Vote Recount Law
Applies To Outs
By TED w, BROWN
Secretary of state of Ohio

y
Ohio has just experienced the
largest recount of votes in its his
tory. Twenty-Five counties were
involved in a recount of the votes
cast in the u. S. Senatorial race
at the November election.
Therefore, it might be interest
ing to review some of the legal
facts regarding such procedures,
which sometimes occur in local
races but seldom in statewide con-
tests and certainly not on such a
large scale as the one just COM
pleted.
Just who may ask for recount
Any candidate defeated for NOM
ination at primary election or
any candidate at general or spec
ial election for an office or posi-
tion who was not elected may file
application with the County Board
of Elections for a recount in any
or all precincts involved.
In the case of special levies,
bond issues, any group of five or
more electors who declare that
they voted for a defeated issue OF
any five or more persons who de-
clare they voted against a win
ming issue, may make application
for a recount.
Applications for recounts must
be filed whiting five days after
the day that the officials result OF
such an election is declared.
Each application for recount
must list each precinct in which
the recount it to be made and SIC
in currency or a certified check for
each precinct to be recounted
must be deposited with the Board
of Elections. The Board must de-
duct from the amount deposited
not less than S. per precinct, bas-
ed on its expense in the recount.
In case the recount applicant S
vote is increased more than 4%o,
the entire deposit shall be refund
ed.

Polio Case Rate
Higher In Ohio

Another six months must pass
before Ohioans will be appraised
of the results of the polio vaccine
injections given last spring to IT,
600 Ohio Schol Children in the test
program for the National Founda
ton for Infantile Paralysis, ac-
cording to Richard L. Kroesen Of
Cleveland, Ohio chairman of the
March of Dimes campaign. '
Mr.. Kroesen reported at year s
end the polio attack rate in Ohio
was approximately 19 per cent
higher than the rest of the nation
in 1954-during which time the
number of cases reported across
the country was the third highest
on record.
Ohio also had a high polio at
tack rate in 1852, when 1888 cases
were reported. That figure was
higher, by g per cent, than the ma
tional average. 1t is impossible,
Mr.. Kroesen pointed out, to pre-
dict when and where polio epidem-
les will strike, which underlines
the need for effective control meas
ureS.
According to Mr.. Kroesen, the
evaluation of the Salk" vaccine is
now in progress, and announce
ment of the results of the test will
not be made until spring.
Half of the 1900 Ohio children
wer inoculated with the Salk vac
cine, and then to provide compar-
ison (and so no one would know
who had the vaccine) half were
inoculated with placebo, an innoc-
uous substance substituted for the
vaccine.
Reaction of those with the vac
cine and those with placebo will
be compared before the tests are
complete.
Vaccine will be available next
spring to all Ohio first and second
graders in Montgomery and Rich
mond counties who did not receive
the vaccine in the field trials last
spring.

There were acreage allotment
and marketing quotas this year
for wheat, cotton, peanuts, and
major types of tobacco, and acre
age allotments alone for corn.
Controls may also be necessary in
1855 for rice, the sixth of the bas-
ic' crops. AS provided by law, pro-
ducerS will have to comply with
an established allotment next year
to be eligible for price support on
that crop, and quota penalties (if
a marketing quota is in effect) will
apply when an allotment is eX-
ceeded. Also, in accordance with
legislative provisions, compliance
with all crop allotrnents is a con-
dition for eligibility for Agricul-
tural Conservation Program as
sistance. But exceeding on allot-
ment for one crop will not affect
support eligibility for another, and
there will be no limitation on the
use of diverted acres as a require
ment for price support eligibility
IT am personally convinced that
the greater freedom for farmers
as a result of this action will be
far more valuable than such pro-
lection as might have resulted for
producters of non-basic crops.
THE chief effect of the propos-
ed noncompliance pr gr a m
would have been an incentive for
greater conpliances with corn al
lotments. Marketing quotas for
the other basic crops automatical-
ly insure a high degree of COM
pliance. There are no marketing
quotas for corn. But as I have
pointed out, the present situation
calls for greater flexibility in the
production and use of feed grains
The announcement about small
feed grain supports for next year
which is being made simultaneous
ly today, has an important bear
ing on this situation. Production OF
these four grains Increased this
year, but a lot more of them are
headed for government storage in
stead of going into consumption
Adjusting the price support levels
for next year will help correct
this Situation while still retain
ing effective supports to encour-
age orderly marketing and finan-
cling. 1t is in line with the shift:
to flexible supports Congress has
directed for basic crops. The in
crease price flexibility made pos
sible by this action will also aid
dairymen and poultrymen who
have been caught in a price-cost
squeeze.
The 10 percent of parity sup
ports for oats, barley, rye ano
grain sorghums will be approxima.
teIy the same as the level of price
support for corn in the non-com-
mercial areas of the country, anc
the eligibility requirements will be
the same. With the increase acre.
age of these small grain crops
that occurred this year, and is ir
prospect for 1855, it is estimated
that total cash income from these
crops will be considerably higher
next year than in 1853. And it is
certainly in the interests of al
farmers to permit feed to go into
use freely.

mercial yegetable-potato hmita-
tion is concerned, recent study -

Party Line Hogs
Face Legislation

COLUMBUS, OHIO, DEC. IA
Rep. Kline L. Roberts (R), Frank
lin County, will introduce the
Party Line Hog" telephone bill
when the 101st General Assembly
convenes in January.
The bill, proposed by the Ohio
Independent Telephone Associa-
ton, would make it a misdemeanor
for persons to refuse to surrender
party lines in cases of emergency.
1t also would penalize those who
fake" emergencies to obtain the
line.
Ohio has long needed such leg
islation," Roberts said. Abuse of
party line service by a few indi-
Viduals has brought tragic results
to life and property. 1t is absolute
ly essential to the public welfare
that Ohio make such abuse il
legal"
The proposed bill provides fines
OF $50 to $500 and Jail sentences of
from 30 to 80 days for both types
of violators. 1t parallels similar
laws already enacted by Michigan,
Washington and New York.
The l65 telephone companies op-
Grating in Ohio would be required
to print a warning against party
line abuse in their directories.
