S31,488, 206,O00
Figure Predicted

A $3l,488, ,206, 900 defense ap-
preparation bill seemed secure
against any appreciable change
by Democrats or Republicans as
it came up in the House today.
Debate scheduled for after
moons was expected to center
mainly on administration pro-
posals for military manpower
cuts. The Democratic leader
ship has indicated it intends to
give President Eisenhower just
about what he requested for de-
fense outlays for the fiscal year
beginning July /.
Final Vote Due Tomorrow
Before a final vote late tomor-
row, the House plans to vote on
several amendments to be Of
fered by Representative Flood,
Democrat, of Pennsylvania, prin-
cipal critic of the manpower re-
ductions. Mr.. Flood originally
favored adding about $3.50 mil
lion to the total approved last
week by the House Appropria-
tions Committee.
He told reporters today he
would urge the House to increase
the bill enough to maintain mill
-tary manpower strength at levels
as of next June 30. One of his
proposed amendments, he said
would prevent the planned re-
tirement of 100 naval transports
and amphibious vessels. Most of
these and other amendments
sought by Mr.. Flood were re-
jected by large margins in the
House committee.
Personnel Figures
The bill reported out by the
committee last Friday allotted
about $744 million less than the
President asked early this year
Those reductions. however. were
mostly technical. The pending
bill would provide for an Army
of 1927. 900 men, a Navy of 657.-
900. a Marine Corps of 10000
and an Air Force of 975.000 by
June 80, 1856. This would be
an overall reduction of 100000
mostly in Army personnel.
The Army's appropriation
would total $7.329,818,000; the
Navy, $9.071,834,000: the Air
Force, $14,4O1, 100000, and the
Defense Department, 1854, ,650,-
900.

President Puts
Full Trust in
SaIk Vaccine
To Decide. Soon
On Any Change
In Distribution

Expressing personal belief
that the Salk vaccine will end
the polio menace within a rea-
sonable time, President Eisen-
hover said today he. will decide
early next week whether changes
are needed in the handling of
the program.
Mr.. Eisenhower's confidence in
the vaccine was expressed at a
press conference as Government
inspectors began plant by
plant recheck of the safety of
manufacturing and testing
methods.
Earlier Surgeon General Leon
ard A. Scheele said he hoped the
immuniZation program, stalled
since last week end, would get
under way by this week end.
There were indications elsewhere
that some of the frozen vaccine
would begin flowing again in
day or two.
62 Cases Reported
Shortly after the Presidents
remarks, Public Health Service
reported there are now 62 Ma
tion-wide cases of polio among
children who were vaccinated.
The jump from yesterdays 50
was explained by the fact that
some of the cases had developed
last week end and were just
confirmed as bona fide.
Mr.. Eisenhower said he was
no scientist and could not speak
as an expert, but in his opinion
the Salk vaccine would in a rea-
sonable time entirely eliminate
polio. He said he believed abso-
lutely the serum would be found
to meet original expectations of
80 to 80 per cent effectiveness.
Awaits Hobby Report
Mr.. Eisenhower said his deci-
sion on whether to revamp the
vaccination program will be
based on final reports expected
in q few days. He apparently
referred to a report promised
within the next few days by
Secretary of Welfare Hobby. Mr..
Eisenhower said he would have
detailed information from ex-
perts studying the problems of
manufacture, testing and dis
tribution.
The President defended DR.
Scheele's decision to halt dis
tribution of the vaccine last
week end while a recheck was
being made. He said it was
strictly a doctors decision.
Asked why double checks were
not made before the vaccine
distribution began, Mr.. Eisen-
hover said there undoubtedly
was great pressure to get the
program started as quickly as
possible. He said some short
cuts might have been taken
without various additional tests
now being made.
Re-check Ordered
Vaccination of the Nations
first and second grade school
children was interrupted last
week end for a re-checking of
five laboratories producing the
vaccine. The check was
prompted by a number of polio
cases in vaccinated children,
most of them treated with a
vaccine from a sixth laboratory
where production was immedi-
ately halted last week.
A team of Public Health Serv-
ice scientists began re-apprais-
ing the product of the Parke-
Davis Laboratories in Detroit to-
day. One source indicated sup
plies of that plant might be re-
leased for use late tonight or
tomorrow.
