Monkey Deaths
Arouse India
BY the Associated Press

The people of India are worked
up about what they consider
maltreatment of Rhesus mon
keys. AS a result, American i'm
porters of the animals are being
required to meet humane"
standards to assure monkeys for
use in preparing Salk polio vac
cine.
A State Department spokes-
man cautioned against any
scare" ideas as the result Of the
Indian position, stating he is
convinced the standards will be
met.
If they aren't, however. the
Indians-who have a virtual
Imonopoly-will cut of shipment
Iof Rhesus monkeys to this
country on June 30.
Officials at the Indian En-
Ibassy said they wanted to make
lit clear that they have no in
tention of impeding scientific
research but that the Indian
people want no more "massacres"
LOT monkeys.
SuffOcation Cited
The State Department spokes-
man said several hundred mon
keys imported from India died of
suffocation in incidents in Lon
don and New York in recent
months.
He added that many Indians
believe in reincarnation and that
they consider that the soul of a
departed relative resides in the
monkeys.
The kidney of the RhesuS
monkey is an integral part of the
system of obtaining polio vac
cine. It is estimated this Nation
will require about 100000 Rhesus
monkeys. within the next year to
keep the polio vaccine program
going.

ing as no great surprise at the
Capitol, was introduced in. the
course of Senate debate last
week on the mutual security bill
It attracted comparatively little
attention at the time and even
less congressional comment be-
cause both Senate and House
have been in recess since late
Thursday.
Free Vaccine Shots
The Alabama Senator, how
ever, had indicated earlier that
he and others might sponsor
such a plan for Federal grants
to States so that every young
ster through the age of 10 could
receive free vaccine shots.
The administrations proposal
incorporated in bills recently re-
ferred to the Senate Labor and
Public Welfare Committee and
the House Commerce Commit
tee, would authorize $28 million
in Federal grants to States to be
used in buying vaccine for chill
dren whose parents could not
afford to pay for it.
Senator Hills bill specifies NO
total outlay. 1t has been esti-
mated that his plan would re-
quire about $l35 million in Fed

The proposal of Senator Hill,
Democrat. of Alabama, to make
Salk vaccine available free to
all Americans under 20 years old
faces an uncertain reception in
congressional Democratic lead
ership circles.
The measure that would fur
nish Federal funds to States for
this purpose comes up for con-
sideration tomorrow at a closed
session of the Senate Labor and
Public Welfare Committee, head
ed by Senator Hill. His Demo-
cratic colleagues on the Com
mittee, Senators Murray Of Mon
tana. Neely of West Virginia,
Douglas of Illinois, Kennedy OF
Massachusetts and Mcnamara
Of Michigan have Endorsed it.
But Senate Democratic Leader
johnson had no comment on the
bill yesterday. He told reporters
he was not sufficiently acquaint-
ed with its provisions to say any
thing about it at this time.
There also were indications else
where that the bill is not an
official party policy measure. 1t
repeatedly might encounter
strong opposition from some
Democrats as well as most Re-
publican Senators.
Closed Hearing
In any event the polio vaccine
problem will have a major verbal
workout tomorrow on several
fronts, in and out of Congress.
Two hours after Chairman
Hills committee begins closed
hearings on his bill and another
suggested by the Eisenhower
administration. the Senate will

The electronic age has reached
Fairfax County's tax billing de-
partment.
A new punch card system
which the operators say is the
most mechanical setup used by
any county in the State is busy
grinding out 1855 tax bills at a
record rate.
Thomas L. Younger is chief of
the new tabulating section. He
has six employees and a room full
of new IBM machines which can
turn out bills faster than county
officials ever dreamed possible.
Five of his employees were OBJ
tanned from the Department of
Assessments and Finance De-
partment, which needed less per-
sonnel when the billing job
turned mechanical. Mr.. Younger
believes the county will save even
more in personnel expenses in
the future.
Until this year, the billing
procedure in Fairfax County has
been largely manual. Individual
bills were typed by clerks, This
always meant extra personnel
when the tax bill began. Then
the bills and tax books had to
be proofread. The only me-
chanical part of the old system
was the calculation of each bill.
With the new setup, land
record cards, personal property
and income tax returns are sent
straight to the tabulating Office
from the Department of Assess
ments. They don't have to be in
alphabetical or tax district order.
The machines take care of that.

Special Tax Bill.
.vetoExpIained

ANNAPOLIS, May 10 (Spe-
ciaD Gov. McKeldin today ex-
planned that he vetoed a bill au-
thorizing special taxes for special
services to unincorporated Prince
Georges County areas because
the county Board of Library
Trustees objected to 1t.
The Republican chief execu-
tive released veto messages on 18
measures he declined to sign
after the recent State Legisla-
ture.
The Prince Georges County
bill, sought by leaders of the
Chillum section, would have au-
thorized the county commission
ers to supply special govern
mental services such as street.
lights. street signs, and libraries
to unincorporated areas and levy
special taxes on those benefitting
to, pay for them.
Cites Trustees Stand
Gov. McKeldin said the Board
Of Library Trustees "has advised
me that 1t feels this will
complicate orderly development
of the county library system In
this fast growing county"
The Governor also said he
was reluctantly compelled" to
veto a bill designed to outlaw
the abandoning of ice boxes in
public as possible death traps
for children.
1.-THE bill, among other things,
would make it unlawful to place
an uncrated ice box, refrigerator
or freezer in a place accessible
to children without first remov-
ing the door therefrom," the
Governor said, emphasizing the
word "uncrated."
Improper Amendment
Literally construed, if this
bill became law. virtually every
home owner in the State would
become an unwilling law breaker
unless he followed the wholly
unreasonable mandate to remove
the doors from his refrigerator
or freezer, or as an alternative,
permitted it to remain in a crate
and unusable.
"The simple solution lies in
