French Testing
Similar Vaccine

PARIS. April % (P.-The
Pasteur Institute, which has
produced a French anti-polio
vaccine similar to that of DIR.
Jonas E. Salk in the United
States, said today further ,ex-
periments are needed before its
vaccine can be used on a large
scale.
The institute explained in a
communique today that the
length of the immunity which
is obtained with its vaccine has
to be established before its use
is generalized. The institute
said it is not only possible but
probable that with its present
vaccine immunity declines mark
edly after only a few months.
1t added it is impossible for
American or French scientists,
in the present state Of things, to
say at what time. by what means
and in what quantity new injec-
tons of vaccine should be made
to lengthen immunity.
Polio is far from being as
big a problem in France as it
is in the United States. The
Pasteur Institute estimated it
affects only about 80 out of
every million French inhabi-
tants.
Prof Pierre Lepine. who pre-
pared the French vaccine, was
recently quoted by the Paris
newspaper PariS-Presse as say
ing that Eat least IS per cent
of French children spontaneous
ly build immunity against polio"
The institute recalled today
that the French vaccine is based
on the same principles as DR.
Salk's land benefited at differ
ent points in its preparation
from methods inspired by Amer
lean and Canadian laboratories.

France, Tunisia
Near Accord on
North Africa

PARIS. April % P).-France's
government and Tunisian Ma
tionalists laid down a six-point
plan today to bring eventual
home rule and possible peace to
the troubled North African pro-
tectorate.
The agreement in principle.
reached after midnight by
French Premier Edgar Faure and
Tunisian Premier Tahar Ben
Amman, must still be worked
out in detail before a final text
is drawn UP.
Then it must be approved by
the aged Bey of Tunis-Tunisia s
nominal ruler-and the Balky
French Assembly.
Bey Sure to Approve
The Bey's approval is consid-
cred certain. But in the Assem-
bly, the agreement is certain to
encounter opposition from mem
bers sympathetic to the French
colonists who constitute a
powerful minority in Tunisia.
The accord also is expected
to run up against a strong
undercurrent of French national
pride. loath to yield still more
of Frances prewar glory of
empire.
Ending seven months of fitful
negotiations, the agreement
came just before the agreed
deadline-the month-long holy
season of Ramadan when the
Moslem faithful suspend most
business.
Big Hurdle Cleared
Tunisian sources said the
agreement had cleared one i'm
portant hurdle. They reported it
has won the approval of Habib
Bourguiba, exiled leader of the
Nationalist Neodestour party
which has led the agitation for
Tunisian independence. Mr..

yesterday in getting the 29-

cord on Morocco, Frances other

Algeria presents a different prob
lem, since under the French con-
stitution it is an integral part Of

Bondune Fight on Reds
Hailed by Mrs. Roosevelt

The widow of the late Presi-
dent said she did not expect in
advance that this feeling would
come out so clearly at the Ban
dung conference. but added, II
am glad it has"
Mrs Roosevelt. who was an
American delegate to the U. N.
for a number of years. praised
the accomplishments of the or
ganization during its first decade.
She expressed fear that a full
review conference under present
world conditions might be harm
full to the U. N. rather than i'm
prove it.
Reports on Peoples Views
Mrs. Roosevelt said there is a
lack of detailed information
about the u. N. throughout the
country. but she has found a
feeling among the people that it
sis all we have in the way OF
machinery to work for peace"
In agreeing with Mr., Hoover's
testimony that the Soviet Union
should be kept in the U. NJ. Mrs,
Roosevelt expressed the belief
that the lopsided votes frequent
~ cast in the U. N, against the
Soviet Union have been a de-
terrent against Communist ag-
erosion in Europe.
Mrs. Roosevelt testified the
Communists have been clever in
their propaganda in Asiatic
countries where people are
hungry. She said they appeal
to these people by calling every
man brother and offering to
share what food they have. But
she said they are not successful
! in the U. NJ. where the leaders
from those under-developed
countries have an opportunity to
hear the arguments for and
against the Communist program,
Mrs. Roosevelt also testified
that United States reaps a big
ger return from what it spends
1 for economic aid than from mill
! tary aid in underprivileged coun-
tries because the. economic aid

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt said
today the leaders of small nations
in Asia are speaking out against
communism at the Banding
conference because they are
recognizing it as an imperialistic
danger.
She went before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee to
urge that the United Nations ap-
point a committee to study
changes in the charter rather
than attempt to hold a confer
ence on revision of the document
this year.
She agreed with earlier testi-
mony by former Presidents Tru-
man and Hoover that present
world conditions are not con-
ducive to worthwhile changes in
the charter in the near future.
Queried by Sparkman
Senator Sparkman, Democrat.
of Alabama, turned the discus
sion to the current Asian-Afri-
can conference at Banding and
said he has been impressed by
the manner in which some Of
the free nations, like Cey!on
have stood UP to the Commu-
nists. He asked Mrs. Roosevelt
why she thought this was hap
pening.
IT think you will find that
among the leaders of those
countries who have had an OPP
portunity to study, that they
are finding out what has hap
pened in the Soviet Union un-
der Lenin and Stalin," Mrs.
Roosevelt replied. She explained
that many of the people in those
countries have been thinking of
communism as an theology that
might come into existence some
time but not as something that
actually exists. She said the rea-
son the leaders are coming out
so forecefully now is because
| they sense the imperialism
the danger that. having swept
across part of Europe, the So
Wet Union might turn around
and sweep in another direction"
