George Fights
Aid Cut Before
Big 4 Par!ey
BY the Associated Press

Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia said today it would be
fatal" for the United States to
choke off its foreign aid pro-
grams in the face of an ap-
preaching Big Four conference
and possible tension easing.
''Now is the very time for our
Government to show every dis
position to go forward with our
ad programs" Senator George
said in an interview. I'VE have
to do those things, including
spending large sums abroad. that
we might very well hesitate to do
in view Of the recent develop
ments."
The developments he referred
to include the German rearma-
ment treaties, the Austrian
treaty and the outlook for a con-
ference this summer among
President Eisenhower and the
British, French and Soviet pre-
mierS.
Senator George. chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, said this Nation
cannot afford" not to continue
expensive foreign aid. That is
more true, he said, of economic
than military aid.
He said he has only two major
questions about the Eisenhower
administrators new aid bill: A
section which would give John B.
Hollister, named to head nom
military aid programs starting
July /, special authority to fire
all employees in the present aid
agency making over $1,000 year.

preference, and the request for
5000 million fund for Asian
economic development.
On the first point. Senator
George said he considers the
special custer power to be an
administrative" rather than a
policy recommendation. He said
he doubted whether President

sence of a directive.
Last Friday the Pentagon-
with White House approval -
suddenly released a statement on
the observance of new, advanced
type Russian planes. The word
Ing was terse to the point of
obscurity and the motivation de-
cidedly mixed.
Mr.. Eisenhower sought to allay
any fears at his news conference
Wednesday, when he said:
". To say that we have lost
in a twinkling all of this great
technical development and tech
nical excellence as we'll as the
numbers in our total aircraft is
just not true"
Within a matter of hours re-
ports on Gen. Burgess speech
began arriving.
He was reported as saying that
Russia has fighters and bombers
equal to the best United States
planes and has more of them:
that "the Russian air force is
currently at least as good as ours.
possibly BETTER" and that "one
of our troubles is that we under
estimate the Russians. News
men who heard him speak said
they were sticking by their
stories.
In addition to his appoint
ments with Pentagon officials,
Gen. Burgess has a date with a
Senate appropriations subcom-
mittee.
Senator Chavez, Democrat, of
New Mexico, told reporters that
the first order of business of the
subcommittee, which he heads,
will be an inquiry into the rela-
tive air strength of the United
States and Russia.

Frankly" the Senator said,
II don't like the philosophy be-
hind this request. They say they
need to eliminate some dead
Wood that they can't get rid of
any other way.
IF that's the real purpose,
I'll listen to their arguments

The experimental Asian devel-

called the absence of "any lin

A good many committee mem

so much because of the amount
involved. but rather the lack of
curbs and time limit on its use.
Avoiding any prediction, the
Senator indicated the Foreign
Relations group is likely to ap-
prove the $3.5 billion aid bill in

That is not the most critical
group in this area, insofar as
polio cases are concerned, several
doctors said. The hardest-hit
group here is the birth-to-5 age
bracket, they said. But pre-
sumably the voluntary control
plan would permit local authori-
ties to decide their own priorities,
regardless of the Federal allot-

apparently was chosen chiefly to

The question Of when the polio
immunization program can re-
sumo full-scale operations still
plagued authorities today.
Public Health Service officials
decided it would be at least some
time next week before the next
batch of Salk vaccine is released
in the Observation-Disclosures
process it is now undergoing.
Some predicted the flow of the
immunizing agent wouldn't be-
gin again before the end OF the
month or later. The result o1
all this was wait-and-see atti-
tude by health and school au-
thorities in the District, Mary
land and Virginia, who had
hoped to get second-round shots
under way next week. These
now definitely have been post
poned.
In kilograms sent to State
health officers, the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis said it believed enough vac
cine will be available for
completion of second round in
oculations by June 80. If it is
released by the National 1nsti-
tutes of Health.
The foundation urged the
State officers to devise means
of carrying on the program since
most schools will be closed at
that time.
Stretching Shots Proposed
Interest turned today to the
National Institutes of Health
at Bethesda. where an advisory
group of scientists and tech
nicians began tinkering with the
idea of making one shot OF
vaccine do the work of ten.
The idea was expounded by
the National Conference OF
State Epidemiologists, meeting
| in Atlanta, where the George
State Health Department has
been experimenting with reduc-
ing polio shots from one cubic
centimeter to one-tenth of that
amount.
DR.. Jonas E. Salk, father Of
the vaccine, has himself been
working on the possibility of
stretching vaccine doses and is
attending the Bethesda meeting.
If such a plan were found feas-
ible, it might solve part of the
current problem-that Of devel-
oping a supply adequate to the
demand of this polio season.
The immunization of first and
second grade children through
out the Nation was slowed down
again when the Public Health
Service did not announce clear
ance of vaccine made by the
Wyeth Laboratories of Marietta,
Pa. This company's product has
been used in the District and
Maryland.
Surgeon Gen. Leonard E.
Scheele emphasized this did not
mean the vaccine was faulty.

Nixon Won't
Seek Peace
During Tour

WASHINGTON, (JTA) = Vic e
President Richard Nixon'S forth
coming visit to Israel and the Arab
states will have no particular poll
cy purpose other than the develop
ment of friendship and goodwill
between the US. and the Middle
Eastern countries, according to di-
plomatic sources here.
The official White House an
nouncement of the Vice President s
trip raised the question whether
Nixon would seek to improve rela-
tons between Israel and the Arab
states. Diplomatic sources said,
however, that the object of the
tour is the promotion of goodwill
and friendship between the United
States and the Middle Eastern re-
egion. The trip is scheduled for late
this year, probably November.
Syrian Ambassador DR.. Farid
Zeineddine predicted that Nixon's
goodwill tour will not change or
ease tensions in the Middle East
because "this is a problem where
no settlement is in view" I h e
Syrian ambassador expressed this
belief to reporters after a consulta-
ton with state department officials
on the North African crisis.

court has imposed a $500 fine up
on DR.. Genzken, chief medical Off
Ger of a brownshirted Storm Troop
brigade and a former lieutenant
general in the SIS, who conducted
cruel pseudo-medical experiments
with helpless concentration camp
inmates.
The same denaZification court

At his denazification trial he did
not appear, however, and the Ber-
lin denazification court has no way
of collecting the fine in Bremen,

Israel Asks UN To
Question OF
Aininers' Safety

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, (JTA)
= AS a result of the recent shoot
ing down of an Israel passenger
plane by Bulgarian fighters, Israel
has proposed that the next session
of the UN General Assembly, open
ing Sept. 20. place a supplement-
airy item on its agenda, under the
heading: ''The Question of the Safe
ty of Commercial Aircraft Flying
in the Vicinity of, Or inadvertently
Crossing, International Frontiers"
In accordance with the General
Assembly's rules, Israel submitted
a brief memorandum, explaining
the necessity for a study of all
incidents in which loss of life has
resulted when aircraft have 'inad-
vertently" crossed international
frontiers. The memorandum pro-
posed that Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold undertake the study
and report back to the session of
the General Assembly which will
convene in Sept, 1856.
The memorandum, submitted on
behalf of Israel by Mordecai R..
Kidron, acing head of its delega-
ton here, did not name Bulgaria,
but the move by the Israel govern
ment was interpreted here as an
obvious reference to the recent in
cident in the Bulgarian air space.

meantime, raze the slum

This plan necessitated a
long-range program into
which the most up-to-date
and future housing project
designs were included. The
Commission sought to make
these public housing projects
a model for the nation or at
least the most modern of
any anywhere.
A look at the Trib's

will attest to these ambi-
tious desires.
One by only close inspec-
ton can detect that the
north and northwestern sides
oil the area was first started
in 1888. And only a resident
of the city who travels in
the area regularly can tell
that the southeastern por-
ton was just completed
about two years ago.
PLAYGROUND UNDER
CONSTRUCTION
Now. since the opening in
April of the southeastern
side which has the only
high-rise buildings in the
area, the project is complete
as to dwelling units. There
is now in construction a
two-block square playfeld
which will be adjacent to
the area.
But, sight of the playfeld
construction does not tend to
give the viewer an idea that
the project was built on a
piecemeal basis, for each

have one believe all of its
units were constructed at one
