fl6fe toward Q cooperative
S1dthwide program designed TO
pf1mote q vast new scientific

lieved that the successful attain
ment Of these limited objectives
during the coming year win serve
as q starting point for q more
extensive cooperative program

The conference turned its at
tention to industrial development
as the chief executives wound up
their 2lst annual conference
during which politics was mixed
literally with business.

The most absorbing topic dur
ing the three-day meeting was
whether the South will join in a
coalition which would have a
middle-of -the-road influence in
choosing q Democratic presiden-
tial nominee and In writing the
party's platform at the Demo-
cratic National Convention next
year.
For the most part, the Cover
nors were cautious toward a sug-
gestion Of a Dixie coalition. hus
there was some sentiment favor
able to a pre-convention agree
ment" on q nominee and a plat
form.
DR.. Frank j. Soday. president
of the Southern Association OF
Science and Industry, told the
Governors the South's industrial
output since 1899 has increased
from $l1 billion to nearly $50
billion.
sTo illustrate the rapidity with
which the south is building its
manufacturing potential, ne
said, .the Gulf South area, which
includes Texas, Louisiana. Mis-
missippi, Alabama and North
west Florida, has accounted Tor
one-sixth Of all the industrial
construction in the United States
during the past 10 years"
DR.. S01sv recounted the
growth Of i~>,thern industry in
recent years md then referring
to the South's anticipated
achievement in the next decade.
he added:
'.It viii be necessary to build
approximately three plants per
day during this period. or . total
OF 10000 plants in 10 years.
Each State on an average VIII
add 100 plants to Its industrial
potential by 1866"

Their Son Wouldn't Fail

NEW YORK, April 10 Dr.
The proud parents of DR.. Jonas
E. Salk said yesterday they knew
his polio vaccine would be a
success when he inoculated his
own wife and three sons more
than year ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Salk
heard the official report by ra-
dio in their five-room apart

The white-haired mother, Dora,
IS. wept with joy.
The father, Daniel, S.. a re-
tired designer of women's neck
wear and blouses, commented:
1--WE were not surprised. We
saw this coming"
The mother added:
1--WE knew for some time, for
q year and a half. When he
inoculated the vaccine in his own
family. that was the proof. My
son would never do anything he
was not sure Of"
Interrupted constantly by con-
gratulatory telephone calls from
relatives and friends, the father
said:
II have no words. I Just feel
great"
No Polio in Family

While the District situation
