Rebels Remain Firm
But Believed Nearing
End Of Prison Siege
sy NE Assoeiolsd prsss

BOSTON, Jan. 90 State pris-
on authorities today saw indica-
tions that the four rebellious COM
victs holding i've guards hostages
for the third day may soon be
ready to settle for less than free
dom, despite their continued
show of defiance.
Hopes for q bloodless settle
ment were expressed by the Rev.
Edward p. Hartigan. prison
Catholic chaplain; the Rev.
Howard Kellett, Protestant chap
lain, and DR.. Samuel Merlin, the
prison physician, after a visit to
the beseiged cell-block.
They listened to the four hard
ened criminals for an hour and
a half last night and later told
newsnen: THE men say they
are determined TO hold out, but
we are optimistic as to the eyen-
tuai outcome"
Warden Also HOpefui.
Warden John ]. O'Brien said
the situation was unchanged
this morning, but hopeful" He
explained that the longer 1t
goes on, the better"
Meanwhile, an armed service
car containing high explosives
was taken to the prison. but
soon was driven away again.
The warden made 1t clear he
did not ask for explosives and
said they would not be permit
ted inside the prison.
Father Hartigan said. zone Of
the injustitces they feel greatly
is the type of sentencing in the
criminal courts of the Common
wealth, whereby men are sem
fenced for very long terms which
takes from their hearts any
hope"
"They agree" the chaplain
said, that proper sentencing is
practiced in California whereby
a man is sentenced for an in
definite period, limited to life,
which gives him q year-to-year
hope according to the progress
he himself makes in prison"
The 35-year-old priest said
that was the convicts' principal
complaint. He did not outline
any further grievances.
No Guards M;streated.
He said the hostage guards
"have been given every consid-
Grafton and courtesy. No officer
has been mistreated."
DR.. Merlin said that although
he has seen three guns in the
possession of the rebellious con-
victs, there has been no bully
ing display of them at any time.
Family members of all -four
desperado-convicts tried yester-
day to convince them to release
the hostages and surrender
peacefully-but all pleas failed.
In an unprecedented move,
17-year-old Barbara (Toby)
Green made a fearful but fruit

POLIO VACCINE WILL BE HANDLED BY TERRITORY

JUNEAU: Under proposed polio vaccination plan now being considered by the U. s. Public Health Service, the Alaska department of health will purchase all polio vaccine for the territory with special funds made available by congress. The announce ment was made this week by pr. Charles R. Hayrnan, pre- ventive medical services chief.
 He said that since some vac
 cine is already on hand the
 plan is now being put into eff
 feet in a few communities, as
 formal approval from the US- PTIS is anticipated. Vaccine
 has already been supplied to Ketchikan, including Annette island and Hollis, and will shortly be sent to Petersburg,
 Sitka. Wrangell, Juneau, Ha-
 ines, Sihagway, Angoon, Yaku-
 tat and for patients and stud Tents at Mt. EdgecurrIbe.
 Outlining the plan pr. Hay man said that in the urban
 areas the Salk vaccine may be
 given only to children 5 thru g years of age, excluding those school children who have re- ceived injections through the National Foundation for In- fantile Paralysis. and to preg- nant women.
 After the territory has been covered with an initial sulp- ply, each community will be given material for the second injections. All vaccine will be supplied without charge by the
 Alaska Health department. Those eligible for the vaccine may receive it either through their local health center where no charge will be made for its administration, or through their private physician who may make charge to cover cost of administration. The Polio Advisory committee rec commended that the service
 charge should not exceed $2.5O per injection.

 The nations which voted a- gainst discussing Algeria be- came the target of bitterness from the Arab world and that section of the world which con siders itself to have been abus- ed by colonialsm On both
 sides of the issue, therefore. the Soviet Union has scored victories for world communism And now, virtually on the eve of the Geneva foreign min listers conference, France faces crisis and all the uncertainty and insecurity that go with it. Such a development must cer tainly weaken the Western front at critical time, in the face of the most determined and sustained diplomatic often sives the communists have ever attempted.
 The Cominform radio for ex- ample, is hailing the develop ment in North Africa and the United Nations as "the defeat of imperialism" and the begin ming elf a solid alignment of the Asian and African world on the side of the communist bloc. That is too close to the truth for the West to shrug it off.

Interpreting News
by William l.. Ryan AP Foreign News Analyst

Less than three weeks before the scheduled opening of the four4power foreign ministers conference, France is amid a full4bloWn crisis that can knock Western strategy into a cooked hat.
 What is happening to France seems not so much the uprising of nationahsm in her empire. but civil strife involving the French diehard colonialists in North Africa and their support CTS in metropolitan France with those Frenchmen who sought and still are seeking desperate ly for ways to end the strife short of disaster,
 Much French business and much Of Frances very economy depends upon the North Am erican proctectorates and AL gerla, which Paris says is part of metropolitan France.
 Therefore there is stubborn and powerful support in Paris for the firm-hand colonials. But there are many French in- side and outside North Africa who favor even more far reach ing reforms than those propos- ed by the Faure government. Among these French are those who see only two alternatives - significant home rule con sessions or total loss of North Africa.
 Separation of North Africa from the French Union would be a major disaster for France It could lead to chaos inside metropolitan France herselfI Yet in the midst of the bitterj quarreling over what is needed to pacify North Africa, time is I rapidly running out and Fra nce's authority continues toI slip in the pattern established in Indochina.
 The effects already are beingl felt elsewhere in the West. troubles in Algeria are gradually weakening links that hold the chain of theI North Atlantic Treaty Organ

Virgin islanders
Seek Removed
Of Alexander

st. Thomas, Virgin Island =
The Virgin Islanders are riled
enough at their Governor Archie
Alexander to the extent that
they are seeking the removal OF
the Negro executive. In a special
protest meeting this week, two
thousand Islanders under the
sponsorship of the CIO passed
resolutions, which seek the
immediate resignation Of Gov
Alexander.
Accusing Alexander of "hating
the people of the Virgin Islands
and making derogatory utter.
ances to their character, the re.
solution addressed to Alexander
ask him specifically to resign.
In the resolution to President
Eisenhower, the Islanders claim
that the act of "a under which
the islands are governed, gives
too much authority to the execu-
tive and creates a virtual dicta-
torship. To Congress, this resolu-
ton charges Governor Alexander
with unethical conduct and NAL
administration.
An outstanding business execu-
tive from Des Moines, Iowa,
Alexander took office April 10th,
1854. One year after his admin
istration, a group called the
Unity Club in an open letter to
Eisenhower charged: So. there
is an atmosphere Of fear and I'M
certainty along all the elements
of our community. We ask you
in good faith to recall him and
place the administration of the
Virgin Islands in the hands of
competent executive sympathetic
to the people, their problems and
their aspirations for advance
ment in self-government."
The Governor has the support
of Secretary Of the Interior, Doug
las Mckay, who has been saying
all along that he had done an
excellent administrative job. VIII
