Ike Rests Today
AT His Maryland
Mountain Lodge

THURMONT, Md. R-President
Eisenhower rested today at his
Catoctin Mountain lodge and
planned some work on the tax ad-
dress he will make to the nation
over television and radio Monday
night.
The President and Mrs. EiSen-
hover arrived yesterday afternoon
at Camp David, presidential re-
treat named for their gandson.
They drove from Washington, go
miles south of here, with Mrs. John
S. Doud, the First Lady's mother
Col. and Mrs. Gordon Moore, Mrs.
Eisenhower's sister; and George
E. Allen, who was a director OF
the Reconstruction Finance Corp.
in the Truman administration.
The President still hoped to get
in a round of golf today but the
weather on his arrival dimmed the
prospects.
The Catoctin Mountains were
covered with a light snow which
fell Thursday, and the green's on
the golf course where Eisenhower
usually plays in this area were
crusted with ice.
The course is located at nearby
Blue Ridge Summit in Pennsyl-
vania.

as always - to build as well
as fight"
The Frogmen, of the Underwat-
er Demolition Teams, compose a
vital element of the force. The
newest types of explosives and the
newest methods of effectively en-
ploying them are constantly being
tried in the many team exercises
in the Mediterranean, Caribbean
and Northern waters.
Much of today's Amphibious
Forces training activity takes
place at the Naval AmphibiouS
Base, Little Creek, Va. Command
ed by Capt. Arthur H. Taylor, the
AmphibiouS Base has recently be-
gun long range program includ-
ing the building of new and mod
ern barracks for its men, school
and administrative buildings, cleo
trical and sewage systems, signal
tower and operations buildings,
concrete LIST and small craft piers
and five million dollar harbOr
project.
Since 1916, the AmphibiouS Train
ing Command, with its six specia
lied schools has trained more than
$50, 900 Naval, Marine and Army
personnel as we'll as cadets and
midshipmen in the complex me-
thodS of amphibiouS warfare. 1t is
commanded by Rear Adm. Rufus
E. Rose.
Since the end of World War II,
the Atlantic Fleet Amphibious
Force has conducted training ex-
erciSes from Puerto Rico to New
foundland, from North Carolina to
Greece. 1t was at Kavalla, Greece
in the fall of 1858 that the force
units attached to the Mediterran-
can Sixth Fleet participated so
successfully in the combined NATO
operation "WeldfaSt."
In the final analysis, it is, as al
ways, the individual fighting men
on whom victory depends, the
men who man the ships, coxwain
the small boats and landing craft
and operate the complex communi-
cation equipment. Today they are
among the most capable men in
the Fleet.

"Androcles And

At Islander

Marking the first filming of the
Late Bernard Shaw's famous sa-
tirical comedy, "Androcles and
the Lion" the Gabriel Pascal pro-
duction for RKO Radio, opening
Sunday at the Islander, stars a
notable quintet of piayers-Jean
Simmons, Victor Mature, Robert
Newton, Maurice Evans and Alan
Young as Androcles.
Miss Simmons and Mature have
the romantic roles as, respectively,
beautiful Christian girl and a
captain in the Roman army; New
ton portrays gigantic captive,
with Evans as the urbane Caesar.
Miss Simmons, Newton and Young,
a hen1pecked tailor, are among a
group of Christians being taken
to Rome to be thrown to the gladi-
ators and the lions unless they
recant their beliefs.
Mature begs the girl 10 sacrifice
a pinch Of incense to the Roman
gods and save her life, but she
refuses. When the games begin in
the Coliseum, however, NewtOn's
prowess in Staying half a dozen
gladiators wins Caesars admira-
ton, who promptly orders all
Christians set free. However TO
satisfy the crowd, one of them
must be sacrificed to a lion.
The lion turns out to be one

.Salk Vaccine
May Imlnuniize
Kids For Life
BY ALTON L. BLAKESLEE
APP Science Reporter

NEW ORLEANS R = The chill
dren who get the Salk polio vac
cine this spring very possibly will
become permanently immune to
polio, DR.. Jonas E. Salk says.
He reported new evidence Thurs
day night for this unexpected and
heartening turn in research.
He finds that two small shots of
the vaccine, with a third booster"
shot later, can even Guido mother
nature in creating tremendous
amounts of antibodies to combat
polio.
Antibodies are disease-fighting
soldiers created naturally when
germs invade you, or created by
plan by giving vaccine containing
dead or altered germs.
DR.. Salk, 39-year-old University
of Pittsburgh bacteriologist, gave
his answers on every score to
few scientists who have suggested
delaying the mass vaccine tests on
half a million or more children.
Three trials, scheduled to begin
within a few weeks, must be made
to see if the vaccine actually pro-
tectS against epidemicS of polio,
he said. The key question is wheth-
er antlbOdieS in the blood are the
real defense, as all evidence so
far indicates.
DR.. Salk declared the vaccine is
safe, potent, and can be plentiful.
1t has been given 10 nearly 5000
children in the Pittsburgh area
including DR.. Salk's own young
Sters-and not a single one has
show any fever, or reactions in
the arm from the NEGOTIATIONS, he
said.
Il would not go ahead with the
trials if l had any doubts about
the safety of the vaccine" he de-
clared.
The vaccine is made of dead
polio virus, killed by fOrmaldehyde
and triple-tested for safety.
Some scientists have questioned
whether the vaccine could possibly
damage human kidneys. The virus
fer the vaccine is grown upon
monkey kidney tissues. The vac
cine fluid therefore can contain
small amoutS of protein from the
monkey kidneys.
DR.. Salk, speaking to the New
Orleans Graduate Medical Assem-
bly,, said his tests show no reasons
to suspect that this kidney mate
rial could react upon human kid
ney.
Another question has been
whether dead virus-incapable of
causing polio-is sufficiently able
to stimulate production of large
amounts of antibodies which
would last for more than one polio
season.
DR.. Salk's main news is an an
swer. He finds good evidence that
the first shots of vaccine. set a
trigger for the human body to be
able to make many antibodies
quickly. So 4.st...
When the booster shot is given,
some weeks or months later, the
production of antibodies scars ire
mendously.
DR.. Salk said there would be no
problem in making enough vac
cine for the nations 46 million
youngsters through age Is.

landing on enemy held beaches any
place in the world. This birthday
finds ships and men deployed in
Mediterranean, Caribbean and Arc
tic waters, constantly working to
improve amphibious techniqueS.
Today the very word amphibious,
meaning the ability to live on land
and water, no longer applies. Tri-
phibious would be more appro-
pirate. For with the perfection of
the helicopter and the close inte-
grafton of the tactical air support
control squadronS, the "Amphibs"
have taken to the air.
Here in the Atlantic Fleet, three
of the amphibious command ships
- Pocono, Adirondack and Mount
Olympus - have been equipped
with helicopter landing decks, as
have many of the landing ships
dock. And many of the ships now
under construction in Mississippi,
Maine and Wisconsin are arriving
at Norfolk equipped with built-in
flight decks"
The helicopter, as a fast means
Of transporting troops, scouting
and reconnaissance, and quick re-
moval of wounded personnel, has
become almost indispensable to the
modern amphibious assault.
Tactical Air Control Squadrons
(TACRONS), Seaborne alrmen who
direct their airborne brothers to
the attack, have grown in size and
efficiency along with the rest of
the force. Improved methods of
commune atoms, constant training
ashore, afloat and in the air have
made the air supported amphibious
operation practically invincible.
Other integral parts of the Am
phibiouS Force have also kept up
with the accelerated program OF
training, 4.
