Harris Seeks Link
To Municipal Bench

Chairman Harris of the House
District Judiciary subcommittee
today introduced new bill pro-
viding for a family court for
the District as part of the
Municipal Court.
It would provide for three ad-
ditional judges in Municipal
Court to constitute a domestic
relations branch of that court.
Already pending before the
subcommittee is an earlier bill
proposing creation of a separate
three-man family court to take
over alladomestic relations mat
ters now handled by the U. S.
District Court for the District
Of Columbia.
No further hearings are sched-
.uled, according to Mr.. Harris,
Democrat, Of Arkansas, since the
subcommittee already has an ex-
tensive record of testimony from
hearings on the first bill.
During previous hearings ques-
tions arose as to whether the
family court should be made
separate, or a part of the Mu-
nicipal Court. Similar problems
are pending before the Senate
District Judiciary subcommittee.
Mr.. Harris said the new bill
he introduced today was pre-
pared by the District corporation
counsel at his request.

Vaccine Check Begun
AT Lob Supplying D. c.

Polio vaccine inspectors moved
to a third laboratory today in
their double-check of the vac
cine's safety,
Gradually the scientists were
clearing for public use vast
amounts of the vaccine held UP
last week by Surgeon General
Leonard A. Scheele. who halted
the mass incubation program in
an attempt to clear the air Of
doubts as to the safety of the
vaccine.
Today's plant scheduled for
inspection is Wyeth, Inc, of
Philadelphia-chief vaccine sup
plier for the District and Mary
land, at least in the free-shot,
school program.
Lilly Supplies Approved.
Health officers in Virginia, as
well as parents, were heartened
by yesterdays announcement by
DR.. Scheele that vaccine sup
plies shipped by Eli Lilly & Co.
Of Indianapolis had been ap-
proved by the investigating SCI
entists. Lilly furnished the vac
cine used in f1rst-round shots
in Alexandria. Arlington and
Fairfax.
The clearing action, two days
after similar warranty of the
product of Parke. Davis g. Co..
of Detroit, raised to about l.,
100000 shots the vaccine supply
released since the safety recheck
ives started.
In other developments, the
Public Health Service reported
73 confirmed cases of polio
among persons given Salk vac
cine. Seven new cases were re-
ported over the weekend but one
previously listed in Wyoming
because of duplication.
List Of New Cases
The new cases were: Idaho 2;
Georgia, Texas, Ohio, Virginia
and Delaware, one each.
The Virginia case occurred in
Pulaski County. DR.. Mason Ro-
maine, chief of the States Com

reau, said the case, a 7-year-old
girl. apparently occurred too
early after the child received the
shot to trace the cause to the
vaccine.

Tito Promises
No Secret Deal
Assures West About
ToIks to Russians

BELGRADE. Yugoslavia, May
Is R.-President Tito has as
sured the West that his coming
conference with top leaders of
the Soviet Union does not mean
Yugoslavia is changing sides. ="
He still intends to keep his coun-
try out of all blocs-Western,
Soviet or neutral third force, :"
he declared.
Speaking at the North Adriatic
port of Pula. Marshal Tito said
yesterday he wants good rela-
tions with both the West and
the Soviets. He promised there
will be no secret deal behind
the curtains" at his meeting in
Belgrade late this month with
Soviet Premier Nikalai Bulganin.
Communist Party Chief Nikita
Khrushchev and Deputy For
eign Minister Andrei Gromyko.
"The whole West will know
what we have discussed and
what we have agreed upon," the
president declared. 'Yugoslavia
is grateful to the West and par
ticularly to the United States,
which has given and is still Civ
ing aid"
Wants Free Hands
Marshal Tito restated his
previous policy that he will not
accept aid with political condi-
tions attached. aid is not a
bribe," he added.
"They in the West should not
think that we are changing
Sides" he continued. 1--WE wish
best relations with the West. We
are not going to turn aside from
this road, but we wish to have
free hands to strengthen
Lasting peace in the world
cannot be assured by bloc divi-
sion, but should proceed along
the path of cooperation and
active international co-existence,
regardless of the difference in
political systems"
It was Marshal Tito's first
comment on the announcement
Saturday of the Russians visit.
Bars Interference
Implying that Moscow had
asked for the meeting, he said
he told the Russians Yugoslavia
wants to keep its friends and will
tolerate no foreign interference
in its internal affairs. He said
the Kremlin had consented to
this condition.
In breaking with Russia in
1948, Marshal Tito charged that
the Kremlin was trying to die
tate to him and that Soviet
agents were meddling in Yugo-
slavia's internal affairs. Soviet
Foreign Minister v. M. Molotov
held that same post in 1948,
but is not a member Of the
Russian delegation announced
for the Belgrade conference.
In Italy, meanwhile, news
papers generally considered the
Soviet -Yugoslav conference
would wreck the Balkan alliance
Of Yugoslavia. Greece and Tur-
key, which indirectly links Mar
shall Tito's country with the
North Atlantic alliance. He did
not mention the Balkan pact in

Stockholm Possible
Site for Meeting
Of Top Leaders

VIENNA, Austria, May 16 up.
The Big -Four Foreign Minis
ters started home today to begin
preparations for the meeting this
summer of their government
chiefs.
Jittery Western Europe hoped
the two major accomplishments
of the ministers weekend re-
union in Vienna-agreement on
the summit" conference and
signing of the Austrian inde-
pendence treaty - had brought
the West and the Communist
world two steps closer to a last
ing peace.
Ranking Western officials
limited that Stockholm might be
chosen as a compromise location
for the meeting Of President
Eisenhower, Soviet Premier Niko-
lai Bulganin and the British and
French Premiers. July or August
appeared to be the likeliest times.
Soviet Foreign Minister v, M,
Molotov accepted the Vests in
vitation to Marshal Bulganin
late Saturday night. In a 13-
minute speech yesterday at the
signing OF the Austrian treaty,
he indicated the Russians in
the coming high-level meetings
will demand as their price for
German reunification the same
neutrality they exacted Of Aus
tria-a pledge not to join any
foreign alliances and not to al
low foreign military bases.
Pattern of Neutrality
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer,
who last week brought West Ger
many into the North Atlantic
Alliance, has already said his
government could not accept
such neutrality.
In his speech at Vienna's Bel
vedere Palace. Mr.! Molotov ex-
pressed conviction that other
states also will follow the pat
tern" of Austrian neutrality. He
referred directly to Germany
later, asserting "the danger Of
a reborn German aggressive mil
itarism has revived, and it Is
forcing the peaceful countries
OF Europe to take new measures
toward insuring their security"
The other foreign ministers
United States Secretary Of State
Dulles, Britain's Harold Mac
milan and Frances Antoine
Pinay - confined their much
shorter speeches entirely to-
Austria.
Ministers Depart
Mr.. Dulles was the first of the
four to leave Vienna, taking of
by plane last night for WASH
ington. With President Eisen-
hover and his cabinet around
him, he will report to the Ameri-
can people tomorrow night by
television and radio on the mo-
mentous diplomatic events of
his past 10 days in Paris and
Vienna.
Mr.. Macmillan flew back to
London today. Mr.. Pinay flew
to Copenhagen to join French
President Rene Coty and Pre-
mier Edgar Faure, who are pay
ing a state visit there. Mr..
Molotov is to leave tomorrow
for Moscow.

the official festivities decreed for
the occasion, the flags, flood
lights and pink balloons pro-
claiming the freedom of the
Austrian people. 1t was not to
be found in the polite crowds
that lined the route of the re-
turning ministers, in the columns
Of rain-soddened citizens parad-
ing through the streets of Vienna
later in the afternoon-or amid
the glittering throng waltzing
last night at Schoenbrun Palace.
Quite Simple for Crowd
The cause of the outburst was
not only emotion over the fact
Of Austrian independence, or of
the treaty which had been held
up for the crowd to see. What
made the sparks fly was some
thing personal between the
people in the park and the four
foreigners who stood on the
balcony.
For the crowd, it was quite
simple: AS long as these four
especially the one
clasping his hands and the one
with the handkerchief-could
stand together on the same bal
cony. the peace of the world
seemed safe.
For Mr.. Molotov and Mr..
Dulles. perhaps the scene had a
somewhat different meaning.
AS they smiled and waved, each
watching the other carefully out
Of the corner of his eye, both
men were looking beyond the
and the crowd to some
thing that lay over the horizon.
The direction of Mr.. Molotov's
thoughts was plain enough. A
few minutes earlier the Soviet
Foreign Minister had made a
little speech, explaining what the
occasion meant to him. And,
strangely enough, most of what
he had to say was devoted not
to Austria at all, but to Ger
many.
Halls Neutrality Pledge
Hailing Austria's declaration
of permanent neutrality, Mr..
Moltov expressed his confidence
that other states. too, would fol-
ow the same road. Austria's "at-
;itude Of honest neutrality" he
'emarked, will be supported
With satisfaction by other ma
ions Of Europe-and not only
If Europe"
The Soviet people, said Mr..
had worked hard for a
solution to the Austrian prob
lem. They were equally anxious
to settle the question of a Ger
man peace treaty. New obstacles
had unfortunately arisen with
the resurgents of aggressive Ger
man militarism. But the Soviet
Union would continue the search
Ito find ways which would cor
respond to the legitimate aspira-
tions Of the German people for
the re-establishment of German
unity without reviving German
militarism."
, Mr.. Molotov spoke of the
forthcoming meeting between
the Big Four heads of state, to
find ways for reducing interna-
tional tensions.
Roads For Settlement
"The Austrian treaty." he
said, "vividly shows that roads
for settlement of these problems
do exist-roads which COR
respond to the real wishes OF
the people concerned-irrespec-
tive of the social systems OF
their states"
On the same occasion, Mr.
Dulles remarks were consider
ably briefer. but the point was
joint as clear. What had hap
pened in Austria. he said, proves
that even overwhelming force
cannot stop people from want
ing to be free.
I'm this case, as is indeed al
ways the case" said the Secre-
tary, military power succumbs
to the moral power or an ideal"
