a CoIcuIafed Risk


The National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis has ordered
enough Salk polio vaccine to
treat nine million persons next
year.
The foundation is taking a
calculated financial risk in con-
tracing for the vaccine even be-
fore it has been found effective.
we have every reason to
hope and believe it will be effec-
tive, " said Basil O'Connor, foun-
dation president. He said the
vaccine contract, costing about
nine million dollars, will permit
pharmaceutical manufacturers
to keep their production lines in
high gear making it possible to
start giving the vaccine imme-
diately after results of the tests
are announced next spring.
MuSt be Licensed
Before the vaccine can be
placed on the market it viii
have to be licensed by the u. s.
Public Health Service in Wash

Scientific evaluation to deter

medical evaluation of its kind
ever attempted, is now under
way at the University Of Michi-
gan under direction of Dr.

the leader of Asia. Nehru can
not be the leader of Asia inside
either bloc, the Communist or
the anti-Communist. Thus his
neutrality. But that very neu-
traity fosters the Red campaign
to assure the world that peace
can be achieved through recog-
milton Of and collaboration with
the Communists.
Another Red Promise

eighty Of the three non-Commu-
mist associated states of Indo-
china. That is a Communist
promise. In the past it has been
demonstrated many times that
Communist promises hold until
the time, sooner or later, when
they are ready to break them.
But the Red propaganda drive
has gained such headway in that
part Of the world that even so

French Ratification Is Key

Since the whole future of

from political parties, and there
have been few very important
attempts to organize a labor
party.
British unions likewise try to
keep freedom Of action. But they
are so firmly attached to the La
Dor party, which might better be
named the Socialist party since
it is not actually an adjunct Of
the unions, that it makes little
difference.
TraditiOnalIy Favor Democrats
For years now the labor
unions in the United States, in
sofar as the members are rep
resented by their leaders, have
! tended to react automatically in
favor of the Democratic party.
That is particularly true this
year.
With one great labor organi-
zation, then, would there be,
instead of a formal Labor party,
/ a greater Democratic acceptance
of labor's influence?
/ Certainly against the back
ground Of American tradition.
this could be a likely result. The
record Of third parties is an pn-
happy one, and there would be
many drawbacks for a party Of
Nsingle interest, even though it
might show great strength
against parties attentive to so
many divided interests.
If you accept a unified labor
organization as more powerful
land even more partisan adjunct
of the Democratic party, what
then would be the effect on the
party itself? Would it in effect
become a Labor party without
changing its name or disavowing
its other interests?
It probably would.
A National Realignment
4 It seems likely, then, that
there would be a nationwide re-
4 alignment Of voters, with per-
haps a vital affect on the one
party system in the Solid South.
The Democratic party has a vast
number of so-called conserva-
ltives who would not appreciate
labor domination.
il Instead Of forming q separate
party or adopting q direct par
tisan alignment might the uni-
fed labor organization instead
J constitute q third force, with
Ia tremendous balance Of power9

litical discipline. Not all labor

House Group Votes
$1.9 Billion in Labor
And Welfare Funds
BY tn. A.soeia,.d Press

The House Appropriations
Committee voted today to give
the Labor and Welfare Depart
ments $1.948. .946.011 in new cash
to finance them for the fiscal
year starting July l.
This is only $16,339. $50, or less
than / per cent, below the
amount requested by President
Eisenhower. 1t is 1902 ,243 $50
less than the same agencies were
voted for the present fiscal year.
The committees recommends
tions were embodied in a bill
drafted by a subcommittee
headed by Representative Bus
hey, Republican, of Illinois and
sent to the House floor for de-
bate next week.
1t was the ninth of II annual
departmental appropriation bills
presented to the House. The
House has passed eight others
and the Senate three. Only one
has been sent to the President.
1898 Million for Labor.
Today's bill allotted the Labor
Department $29S, ,704, 900 of the
$299,635.O00 it requested; the
Department of Health, Educa-
tion and Welfare $1,637,615,O11
of the 1852, 500. .62l it requested;
the National Labor Relations
Board $84 million of the $8.7
million it asked; the National
Mediation Board $1,217,00O of
the 1851 900 it sought, and the
Federal Mediation and Concilia-
tion Service $3,010,0O0 of the
$3,180,000 it requested.
Compared with appropriations
for the present year, the Depart
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare took the biggest cut
$289, 9,817. .250-most of it in funds
for grants to States for public
assistance.
For this purpose the commit
tee recommended $1.2 billion,
the amount requested by the

BALTIMORE, June A. The
Air Force announced today de-
velopment Of q solar generator
which when refined could con-
vert sunlight into enough energy
to run q home.
The Air Research and Devel-
opment Command said the new
generator evolved through re-
search conducted by Donald C.
Reynolds and 1t. Col. Gerard NJ.

ment Center near Dayton, Ohio.
Last April IS, Bell Telephone

which converts sunlight into

sisters. Light striking razor-thin

the strips.
Both the Bell device and the
Air Force generator are capable
of storing up the energy taken
from the sun.
The Air Force generator uses

employed as a pigment in the
manufacture of paint.
The powder is processed into
crystal form. The Air Force said

Col. Leies and Mr.. Reynolds
said previously used substances

Can Operate Clock.
The pilot model supplies a
charge of one quarter of volt
and can operate an electric clock.
The resistance factor, which
would have a limiting effect on
the amount Of current produced,
was not discussed in the initial

School Payments.
Funds recommended for the
Department of Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare include SIS
million-$3.5 million less than
was requested-for payments to
school districts to operate schools
overburdened by Federal activ-
tiles. There is also $40 million
a reduction of 81 million from
requests - for construction of
schools in areas crowded by Fed
eral workers.
For vocational rehabilitation,
the committee recommended
-$21 million, an increase of ST.
825, 900 from the Eisenhower re-
quests but 50 million less than
was approved for this year.
The Office of Education was
allotted $18,374,511, a budget
cut of $298,750.
For grants to States for hos
pital construction, the commit
tee earmarked $65 million, or
$40 million under the Eisenhow-
er requests.

crease of $2.365 900 over requests,
for operation of the various
health institutes established by
Congress, including research in
cancer, mental health, heart

and arthritis. The committee said
it doubted the wisdom of cutting
back these programs at, a time
when "the prospect for really
great discoveries is the bright
est" Some of the extra money
it voted was for further research
work in glutamine, used for the
treatment of epilepsy.
