Effects Of Vaccine
Get Further Study
By the Associated Press

It will be fall before the ma
tionwide polio vaccine program
resumes full stride and its results
so far can be eyaluated.
This was indicated today by
comments from Federal officials
and by a survey of State capitals
lon plans for implementing a new
program of Federal aid to pro-
wide free vaccine for many chill
dren.
Surgeon General Leonard A.
Scheele told reporters yesterday
there are signs the incomplete
Iinoculation program already Is
beginning to show beneficial re-
suits in preventing paralysis OF
death.
The Public Health Service re-
ported yesterday 1882 polio
cases since the disease year.
began April l. This compared
with 1886 cases q year ago.
Mass inoculations began shortly
after April /.
But DR.. Scheele stressed that
any real evaluation must await
scientific analysis Of data that
won't be available until this fall
"at the earliest"
About SIS million children al
ready have received shots Of the
Salk vaccine.
! States Seek Funds
/ Meanwhile, State officials re-
ported preliminary steps toward
/ taking advantage Of q new law
providing $50 million in Federal
funds for State-administered
free vaccine programs.
/ When this program gets
started. States may distribute
1.-THE free vaccine through either
public agencies or private chan
nels.
Two other vaccine programs
already are under way.
In one Of these. the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis is furnishing free shots to
first and second grade school
children.
Under the other. which has
handled relatively small amounts
so far, vaccine Is distributed to
1.-THE States from commercial
manufacturers under quotas SET
up by the Federal Government
Some States are paying for this
vaccine and giving 1t free to

Health Service report on the in

The Health Service concluded
that live polio virus was present

original testing standards were

school fare increase for Capital
Transit Co. to the District Com
missioners, it was understood.
Present rate is 3 cents per
ride for school children during
the school year. The increase
granted VIVA applies only to its
District Of Columbia operations.
It was learned, meanwhile,
that a group of three Washing
ton attorneys have been granted
incorporation papers to operate
Ia mass transit system here.
The new organization is la
belled Washington Rapid Transit
System, Inc. The corporation
papers were issued to I. William
Stempil and Ford E. Young, both
having offices in the Warner
Building, and Marshall r. Diggs.
whose Offices are at 1925 Con-
Inecticut avenue NV.
Applied for Franchise
None of the three lawyers
could be reached for comment on
their plans. Mr.. Stempil's ap-
plication to the Public Utilities
Commission, filed last July %,
for a transit franchise still Is
pending before the regulatory
body.
WMA-the Washington Met
Iropolitan Area Transit Co.
had requested an 81a-cent school
fare. Capital Transit has con-
tended that it needs the full 10
cent-per-ride fare authorized by
the last session of Congress.
The utilities commission heard
further testimony on the VIVA
petition this morning before
reaching its decision.
: The Tla-cent rate was recon-
mended during the recently
ended Capital Transit fare In
crease hearing by Edward A.
Roberts. New York transporta-
ton consultant retained by the
utilities commission as an ex-
! pert witness.
/ School fares for Capital
Transit did not enter into to-
days proceedings, although the
! company was represented by its
attorney, F. G. Await.
Under New Law
/ The commission filed its
formal recommendation on CTC
school fares in accordance with
the new law which cancels the
Capital Transit franchise next
year. Under this act, the Dis
trict Commissioners last Satur-
day authorized the company to
raise its charges for tokens and
the weekly permit issued to nom
school passengers.
The only witnesses at today's
hearing were Roy A. Chew,
treasurer of VIVA, which
Operates between points in Mary
land and the District, and
lCharles M. Maize. who said he
spoke for columbia Lodge
No. 174. International Associa-
ton of Machinists.

Washington - New archeologi-
|cal exploration of the mysterious
|Olmec civilization at La Venta,
Mexico, has just yielded a cache
|of 56 primitive implements, most
|made of jade.
These celts, together with an
|other find, a stone monument rep
Presenting a seated human figure
|offer clues to the culture that flow
|ered in southern Mexico about l.
800 years ago.
The objects were unearthed by
|an expedition sponsored by the Ma
|tional Geographic Society, the
Smithsonian Institute and the Uni
|versity of California.
Particular interest is attached to
five implements carved with Oh
|mec designs of jagur and bird
monsters. The stone monument,
slightly more than life size, was
discovered on a terrace of lime
stone slabs thanking buried
mound. Despite its broken head
land arms, the statue has great ar
|tistic merit. 1t is to be shipped to
1.-THE Museo Nacional in Mexico
|City.
The party is now concentrating
ION digging around the west bast-
lion of La Venta's ceremonial
court, a complex of clay, adobe and
stone reamins.
DR.. Philip Drucker, Smithson-
ian anthropologist and joint lead
er of the expedition, hopes to find
at depth of Is feet block pave
ment representing a jaguar face
covering 400 square feet. Such a
iaguar mask" was found near by
in 1913.
Additional excaVatIuns will try
| 10 locate earlier construction. Dig
gers thus far have removed 300
cubic yards of earth and 100 tons
/ of basalt columns that surmount-
4 ed the bastion. The ceremonial
courts eastern half has been clear
I ed of five-foot-deep layer of drift
sand. The clay floor of the court
has been barred.
La Venta, in northwest Tabasco
Estate, is considered the most inn
portant site in the Olmec civili-
zation which perhaps antedated
Ithe theocratic cultures of the Maya,
Ithe Zapotecs and the Toltecs. Be-
hind La Venta's curtains of anti
1quity lie several mysteries:

Mining Congress Coal Show at

According to Tom Taylor, vice
president of the Ohio Machinery
Co, Caterpillar distributor, the
machine weighs more than % tons
and has a 236 h.p. diesel engine
It's powerful enough Taylor
said, to pull 40 fully loaded, CO.
ton freight cars. Test models, e.
quipped with a bulldozer blade
already have demonstrated they
cqn pile up 90 tons of earth in
less than five minutes.
The Dc is also the first tractor
equipped with a turbocharger
Taylor said that 10 years and
more than a million man hours
Of research and engineering time
went into design of the machine.
Taylor explained that Cleve-
land was chosen for the monster
machines debut, because the coal
show is one cf the country's most
important industrial expositions.
And large-scale miners, contract
ors and industries are the ones
in Ohio who will use the machine
most profitably.

Lake Erie Fish.
Committee Meets

The Lake Erie Fish Manage

meeting, this year at Niagara
Falls, Ontario, and launched a
cooperative lakewide survey OF
conditions affecting Lake Erie.
On June 81, 1855, the first OF a
series of synchronized observat-
ions will be made. There will be
IT boats from the four states
bordering Lake Erie, the Province
of Ontario and the Coast Guard,
participating in the survey, and
each boat will follow designated
course. The entire lake will be
under observation by biologists on
one day, and factors to be deter
mined are: currents, lake levels,
temperatures, turbidity, and che
mical analysis of water samples
taken. This day of observation
will be followed with similar
days in the future.

In First Quarter

Cleveland, Ohio - In the past
eight months, business has re-
covered all of the ground lost in
the recession of 1953-54.
This was asserted by Fred o.
Kiel, senior economist of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of Cleveland,
who spoke on The Business Out
look" yesterday Thursday, May
II, at 2:30 PM before the annu-
al convention of the National As
sociation of Sheet Metal Distri-
butors at Hotel Cleveland.
THE Gross National Product,
an estimate of the market value
of the total output of goods and
services currently produced in the
nation, totaled an estimated 1869
billion in the first quarter and
undoubtedly is now several bill
lion dollars higher and above the
record rate reached in 1853" Mr.
Xiel declared.
Other economic indicators
which are at new record levels
(or very close to them) include
construction activity, industrial
production, personal income, and
retail sales. Non-agricultural en-
ployment has recently shown
healthy gains and in April was at
the highest level since mid-1953.
Despite the recent rise in en-
ployment, unemployment in April,
on a seasonally adjusted basis,
rose slightly for the second sue
cessive month to three million, or
4.6 percent of the labor force.
This persistent level of unemploy-
nent is due to continued growth
in the labor force: it increased
about 100000 in the past II
months and Is million in the
past two years"

Ordinary this side-dress appli-
