Still on Serious List
After Heart Attack

Senate Majority Leader Lyn-
don B. johnson remained on the
serious list at Bethesda Naval
Hospital today after suffering a
heart attack late Saturday while
visiting a friend in Middleburg.
Va.
A hospital bulletin described
the 46-year-old Texas Demo-
Gratis condition as comfortable
and stable. but still serious" It
added that "he is in a cheerful
mood this morning"
The hospital said it planned

unless there is a significant
change in the Senator's condi-
ton.
According to one of his aides,
the Senator will not return to
his post before the end of the
current session of Congress, now
tentatively set for July 80. SEN
ator Clements of Kentucky, the
assistant majority leader, will
take over the reins.
Senate Ahead in Work
Many legislators believe SEN
ator Johnson's illness is unlikely
to have much effect on the
accomplishments of the Senate
from now until adjournment
Their reasoning is that, thanks
in part to his leadership. the
Senate is well along on its legis-
lative workload this year.
Senator Johnson repeatedly
has obtained unanimous agree
to limit debate on meas
ures that otherwise might have
kept the upper chamber arguing
for a week or more.
Democratic leaders say Senator
Clements will undoubtedly follow
Senator Johnson's policies that
generally have brought party
unity in the Senate.
President Eisenhower, with
whom the majority leader had
q political exchange last week,
expressed deep regrets" Many
OF the Senator's colleagues, Re-
publicanS and Democrats, also
voiced sorrow and hopes for a
speedy recovery.
Senator johnson was stricken
late Saturday afternoon while
visiting George R. Brown, a
Houston contractor, in Middle
burg. He began to suffer pains
around the heart. A local ply
sician diagnosed the trouble and
had the legislator rushed by am
bulance to the naval hospital
Mayo Doctors Fly Here

the attack was moderately Sc

Two doctors from the MAYO
clinic at Rochester. Mimi, flew
here to see him.
Mrs. johnson, the only person
allowed to visit him, said she
would be grateful for prayers TO,
her husband. She asked that
friends contribute to the Heart
Fund or some similar cause
rather than send flowers.
The Senator's 73- year : ole
mother, Mrs. Rebecca Baines
Johnson, made her first airplans
"trip to be with him. She arrived

18, 900 British Strikers
End 6-Week Dock Tieup

LONDON, July 4 R.-Brit-
aims $4,000 waterfront strikers
streamed Jack to the docks to-
day after a stoppage that idled
hundreds of ships for six weeks
and cost the nation millions OF
pounds in trade.
The strikers had gained vir-
tually nothing from their walk
out. They went back in full
force this morning. but many
were bewildered and angry as a
result of the factional squabbles
that marked the strike.
The strikers quickly started
clearing some ITO ships lying idle
at London. Hull, Manchester,
Liverpool, Birkenhead, Roches-
ter and Garston.
Factional Rift Continues
But the rift between the
northern and southern strike
factions in the National Anal
gamated Stevedores and Dock
ers Union remained.
In the London area the strikers
had voted earlier to return if the
northern groups did likewise.
Not until last night did the
northern ports agree.
The strike began as a jurisdic-
Itional struggle by NASDU to gain
equal bargaining rights on the
waterfronts with the big Trans
port and General Workers Union
At the height of the strike
more than 10000 men were out
but members of TGWU, which
opposed the strike, stayed on the

DETROIT, April 10 P1.-The

gray market in Salk polio vac
cine has appeared in Detroit.

proper connection could obtain
at least a three-shot supply

said.
The Free Press said it learned
from two Detroit druggists and
a physician that the vaccine is
available in Detroit to those who
are willing to pay the price.
Neither the druggists nor the

situation in that area.
Following his conference with
President Eisenhower at Augusta
Sunday Mr.. Dulles did not spec
ulate about Communist inten-
tons. He emphasized he was
talking only about increased Red
capability.

today necessitated a recess until
tomorrow in the committees

United Nations Charter.
Committee members generally
were favorably impressed by the
testimony of former President

agreed the U. ~ can be improved,
but cautioned this country
against throwing away the good
in the existing U. N. setup in a
search for something better.
Threats to Peace
Mr.. Truman also urged the
United States to take all current
threats to world peace into the
General Assembly of the U. N.
The former Democratic Presi-
dent, who was in the White
House when the charter was
written 10 years ago, did not OPP
pose the calling of a conference

dicted it may be impossible to
get any worthwhile changes
