involved the mountains of canned
hamburger, worth almost $40

Their gamble is beginning pay off. not only in the

and will be released all at once
1.-THE service feels" he said,
that it would be unfair and mis-
leading to give fragmentary re-
ports because the whole thing
must be thought of in terms of
the total picture"
Uncertainty over the voluntary
incubation program began in
some quarters with the with
drawal II days ago of vaccine
made by the Cutter Laboratories
in Berkeley, Calf, following re-
ports that a number of children
had contracted polio after re-
ceiving the vaccine. A few cases
of polio also have been reported
among children receiving vac
cine from other sources.
The latest count of post-inoc-
ulation cases is 40. Two deaths
have been reported in Idaho and
one each in Louisiana and Ha-
wall.
The Public Health Service an
nounced last Wednesday it had
authorized five manufacturers
of Salk vaccine to release a total
of 10l2 million cubic centimeters
since the vaccine was pro-
nounced success on April IL
One cubic centimeter is enough
for one incubation.
Medical Opinion Divided
Medical opinion was divided as
to what part If any the vaccine
played in polio cases thus far
reported. DR.. Carl Ecklund, chief
of the virology section of the
United States Public Health
Service laboratory at Hamilton
Mont, said investigation of 10
cases among Idaho children
points strongly to vaccine as
the cause" He said further tests
would be needed before this
could be determined definitely,
however.
DR.. Cecil Reinstein, medical
director of the South Central
Idaho Public Health Department,
said an eleventh case in Idaho
appeared similar to those re-
ported on by DR.. Ecklund.
On the other hand, doctors in
some areas reporting cases said
they did not believe the vaccine
was responsible.

latest huddle over its use. he
added.
The society Endorsed suspen-
sion OF vaccinations until uncer-
tainty has been cleared. 1t also
applauded Surgeon Genera
Leonard A. Scheele's care in
pointing out again that the vac

surprise at the Governments

Services appeal for a temporary
shutdown.
But Virginia Health Commits
sioner Mack l. Shanholtz said he
couldn't indorse the recommen-

about it. He said his State has

Despite the suddenness of DR..

ever. there was no indication of

In today's report.

concentrate on the report.

With some exceptions, the few
areas which had scheduled Sat-
urday inoculations called them
of. One of those exceptions was
In Detroit, where Wayne County
officials said their clinics would
remain open Saturday to inoc-
ulate children who previously
missed their turn.
Many health officials continued
to express confidence in the vac
cine. while others showed an in
clination to await further as
surances.
Michigan's State health COM
missioner. Albert Heustis, COM
mented:
I'VE have ample evidence that
in Michigan. at least, we are
dealing with a safe and effective
vaccine. We have been unable
to get anything specific out of
Washington as a reason for
changing the program. All we do
is read the press releases"
At Ottawa Canadian health
authorities decided that the Salk
vaccine used on Canadian chill
dren is safe and there will be
no change in the countrywide
Ammunization program.
Health Minister Paul Martin
said about 100000 Canadian
children have been inoculated so
far and there has been mo evil
dence whatever Of unfavorable
reaction"
The vaccine Canadian school
children are receiving is pro-
duced at the University of To-
ronto's Connaught laboratories.
Doctors in Fort Worth, Tex,
said they would refuse to give
any more NEGOTIATIONS until they
had assurances that every batch
Of vaccine received there had
been adequately tested.
The doctors told the Fort
Worth tar-Telegram they had
the false impression" that the
same method used in last years
field trials was being used this
year. That method called for a
check of every batch of vaccine

DR.. Scheele had earlier pointed
out that approval is given now
on the basis of samples sub

DR.. Saulk has described the
vaccine being turned out now as
an improved version of the ma
terials he developed for last

LONDON TIMES SAYS:
Only Russian Action Could Shake
Swedish Policy From Its Course

NEW YORK (ASNE)-Europe,
SO rigidly divided between rival
camps, is hardly the soil in which
neutrality could be expected to
flourish, yet in both Sweden and
Switzerland it is so much ira
dition that it has become almost
an article of national faith, The
Times, of London, wrote in an edi-
torial on December 20. Sweden's
persistence in a policy of ri C t
neutrality is particularly interest
ing, since so much has happened
in recent years to challenge it.
But, the paper, added, there is no
sign that the present government
or either of the opposition parties,
the Liberals and Conservatives, is
tending towards abandonment or
even modification of neutrality.
Small and enthusiastic groups of
opinion in favor of Swenden's join
ing NATO flourish inside the Lib
eral and Conservative Parties, but
they do not appear to have made
much Roadway recently. These
groups are now urging that the
proposed ten-year plan for Swed-
ems defense forces would be as
sisted if Sweden's defenses were
linked with those of her neigh
bors. On balance, though, Swed-
ish opinion remains convinced that

bold and unique housing develop
ment, aimed at creating a largely
self-supporting suburbia instead of
merely a sleeping city" for the
capitals inhabitants, is mush-
rooming at vallingby, some ten
miles northwest of Stockholm.
The hypermcden community,
which now has 1900 inhabitants
but expects to accommodate 49,
600, will eventually become a CEN
ter for a surrounding area with
an estimated population of some
$4,000 to 10000. Nallingby's COM
munity center was formally ded-
icated the other day. More than
IS 900 persons used the newly
built subway, which terminates at
Vallingby, or drove in true AM
erican bumper-to-bumper style to
inspect the new stores, schools,
meeting houses, cinema, church,
bank branches, post and telegraph
office, drug store, and supermark-
ct, which, incidentally, is said to
be Europe's largest self-service
establishment. Only q few years
ago there were only meadows and
some small cottages where Vail
ingby today rears its elegant
apartment houses. The first unit
was built in 1851, and the first
tenants began to move in toward
the middle of 1852.
The center of Vallingby has been
given particularly original lay
out, interesting from an architect
ural viewpoint. It is constructed
with the subway station as the
central point, surrounded by fif-
teen houses nine to IL storys high.
Generally, the dwellings, consist of
three-story blocks of flats, besides
row houses, terrace houses and
small detached houses.
1t is the first time that an ex-
pertinent Of this size in the field
of community building has been
carried out in Sweden. While the
planners and builders use the term
"self-supporting," this goal will
never be reached completely. Ev-
entually, however, Vallingby will
become half self-supporting, which
is a big step forward from the
dozens of villa suburbs, the sole
function of which is to provide
their inhabitants with a place to
sleep between working, amusing
and marketing in the
nearby capital. In Vallingby, on
the other hand. it is estimated
that about half of the workers
residing there will have their en-
ployment in the community, while

Pay-As-You-Go
Tax Proposed

The Norwegian government last
week submitted to Parliament a
bill proposing the introduction of
pay as you go taxes on per-
sonal income, effective January /,
1857. To avoid the burden of
double taxation during the transit
ton period, tax payers would pay
only half of the tax on their earn
ings during 1855. These taxes
would be due in the second half
of. 1856. Individual taxpayers
would generally be exempted from
taxes on their 1856 earnings and
on capital assets as of Jan. l.,
1857.
Under the government proposal,
there would be two exceptions
from these rules. If the income
for 1855 or 1856 should exceed
earnings for 1857 by more than
20%, the excess would be subject
to full taxation. And if 1854 earn
ings are higher than the income
for 1857, the former would be used
as the basis of comparison.
State, municipal and Old Age
Pension taxes on wages would be
withheld by employers. Tax on
other income and capital assets
would be payable direct, as asses
sed by the State or municipal tax
office. Corporations and other
taxpayers would continue to pay
in arrears, the system now pre-
vailing for all categories.

lions would bring more harm than
good. If, the argument runs, Swe-
den was a military ally of the
west she might become Russian
target, while she would still, as
now, have to rely almost entirely
on her own resources to repel at
tack. Sweden's policy therefore is
still built, as the Foreign Minister,
DR.. linden, maintained last month,
on the same basis as before the
First World War. There are pro-
badly only two things which could
shake it from its course. One
would be a Russian attack on Fin
land or an attempt to turn Fin
land into a Communist satellite;
the other would be an attempt to
turn the Baltic into a Russian
lake

the other half will be employed in

industrial undertakings out to
suburban areas, it was further
considered that about half of the
employees of concern which
moves to Vallingby will accomp-

first industries to find its way
