Salk Vaccine Found 8O- % Percent
 Effective in Preventing Paralytic
 Polio; More Improvement Assured
By Alton L. Blakeslee Associated Press Science Reporter


 ANN ARBOR, Mich, R-The Salk polio vaccine works-safely, potently-and can virtually end the icy fear that long has gripped the hearts of parents.
 The vaccine was officially de- clared Tuesday to have proved to be SO to 90 percent effective in preventing paralytic polio.
 Tn Washington, it was announced Secretary of Welfare Hobby will formally license the vaccine for general use at l pm. today.
 Young Dr. Jonas E. Salk, who developed it, declared he is cer- tain it can be potentially made almost 100 percent potent to smash polio's terror and tragedies.
 The triumph of the vaccine was announced in an atmosphere of supercharged excitment by Dr. Thomas Francis Jr. of the Univer- sity of Michigan at a scientific meeting.
 Point by point, he detailed the saving of life and limb from vaccine made of safely killed polio virus:
 Only n of 440,OOO vaccinated children paralyzed by polio last summer
 In comparison, 445 unvaccinat- ed children were paralyzed.
 Only 113 cases of proven polio among the vaccinated children. many recovering with no damage.
 But 750 cases of proven polio among the nonvaccinated.
 Not one child dead of polio among vaccinated youngsters, ex- cluding one who died after re- ceiving only his second shot of vaccine and undergoing surgery for tonsil removal during a polio epidemic.
 Fiftten killed by the vicious disease among about 1,400, ,000 children not vaccinated.

Seattle Committee Asks Senate Group Probe MSTS West Coast Operations

SEATTLE, R-Sen. Magnuson -WaSh), chairman of the Inter state and Foreign Commerce Com mittee, was. asked to investigate the Military Sea Transport Ser vices West Coast operations.
 The Seattle Maritime Advisory Committee, in letter to Magnu- son, specifically asked that the committee probe the reason why San Francisco headquarters of MSTS orders its transports to sail the southern. route to Japan rather than the northern great circle route from the Pacific Northwest.
 The Maritime Advisory Com mittee has charged that the south ern routings are politically-inspir- ed in order to effect the transfer of Seattle-based transports of San Francisco.
 That charge was repeated in separate letter to Vice Adm. F. c. Denebrink, commander of MSTS.
 Denebrink has answered pre- vious charges by saying the south ern route is preferred because of heavy weather off the Aleutians on the great circle route.
 The Maritime Advisory Com mittee, in it's letter countered Denebrink's answer by saying many maritime men hold the southern route to be rougher than the northern route. The commit tee said MSTS captains prefer the northern route but were prevent ed from saying so without jeop- ardizing their Civil Service jobs.

Secretary Wilson Sharply Limits Giving Out Military Information
 By Defense Dept. Personnel

WASHINGTON, R- Secretary of Defense Wilson says "We must stop giving out potential enemies so much information about new weapons.
 This, Wilson explained yester- day, is why he issued sharp new order setting limits on the giving out of military information and speeches by Defense personnel.
 In a news conference, Wilson stoutly denied censorship or any attempt at avoiding adverse criti- cism was intended.
 Ut should be clearly under stood," the secretary said, "the directive was not intended to be interpreted as an effort to curb the proper flow of information to the public
 He said he wouldn't "be a party to trying to cover up something that ought to be exposed for the good of the Defense Department. :"
 What then did Wilson's March 27 directive mean when it said information released by the mili- tary should constitute a con- structive contribution to the pri- mary mission of the Department of Defense?"
 At what does the order aim?
 1t is a little hard to define real quickly. Propriety and policy are involved, as well as what might be called the technical side of it"
 Here Wilson touched on an- other issue raised by his order the refusal to take into consider

much 81 million to Negroes in single year. have
not had foreclosure and denquencies prac-

tending themselves They not only generally put up
szeable dOWnpayment to purchase a home, but also
endeavOr to take out small mortgage possible
commensurate with their monthly income.
2. The typical minority family prefers to pay back
its mortgage in from ten to fifteen years. substantially
shorter period than that preferred by the white
family.
3. Negro families generally seek out older existing
homes with more and larger rooms and in neighbor-
hood where other colored families reside.

Disc JockeysSay
Buddy Johnson
Band Is Tops

NEW YORK.-Often spoken of
as the country's most "underrated"
band, Buddy Johnson won his first
major poll today when his band
was chosen by the nations top disc
jockeys as the one they play the
most on their programs.
In survey of more than 500
platter spinner from Maine to Cal
ifornia by Cash Box magazine, re-
garded as the bible of the jukebox
and disc jockey industry, Johnson's
orchestra finished ahead of such
names as Les Brown, Billy May
and Ray Anthony's crews. The
Mercury record maestro just cele-
brated his 18th anniversary in show
business with a gigantic party at
the Savoy ballroom that drew an
overflow crowd Seven buses
packed with members of his fan
club came form as far away as
Miami, Florida, to fete him at this
occasion.
For the past decade, Johnson
has toured the nation with his
down home beat" band and is al
ways looked upon as a Standing
Room Only attraction by promoters
and niteclub owners. He is par
ticularly favorite on the southern
dance circuit and a Johnson ap-
pearance in town is akin to a local
holiday for dance lovers.
At the Savoy party he was given
gold record plaque by officials
of Mercury, for which he records.
Bobby Robinson, president of the
Uptown Record Dealers Associa-
ton, also gave him a scrool be-
cause of his consistency as best
seller in record shops.
