Congress. as viewed by Presi-
dent Eisenhower, is rather er-

The President. however, has
tened to explain at his news con-
ference today that he meant the
legislative branch is erratic in
the rate Of its output.
This observation came in
response to a request for COM
ment on the progress of his pro-
gram in Congress at this session.
He remarked that any one who
attempts to measure or predict
congressional progress at any
given moment has forgotten that
Congress is capable of doing a
lot of work in a week. for in

along at times.
His use of the word cratic
brought a burst of laughter. He
grinned broadly but quickly
said he was referring to the
Edle OF legislative action.
Answers to other questions

such as:

said he agreed thoroughly with
the basic proposal of David

logical warfare programs. He
disclosed that he has conferred
with Mr., Sarnoff, board chair
man of the Radio Corporation of

agencies should not put any

The District Commissioners
today approved establishment of

The plan, as announced by
Commissioner Robert E. Nc

a joint effort by three District
departments-Health, Welfare
and Vocational Rehabilitation.
Tom Rathbone, director Of
vocational rehabilitation, told
the Commissioners his depart
ment has $4,000 available to
equip the center.
Health Director Daniel L.

be housed in the basement of the

they felt some notification of the
arrival of vaccine for second
shots had to be received, But,
though no word came, officials
were still reluctant to write an
end to the program. There
seemed to be some outside
chance the program could still
be resumed though schools
wound up another term at noon
today. Already, schools have
closed in Maryland and Virginia.
At State health departments
in Maryland and Virginia, off,
cials expressed the same hesi-
fancy to decide to take one of
two steps left open.
One step would be a fiat de-
cision to call off the program for
now--until schools resume in
September. The other is to at
tempt to round up for second
shots all the children who re-
ceived first shots---a complicated
task, according to health off,
cials, since many children have
left the area along with volun-
teers needed to carry out the
program. The second step-if
taken-also means giving the
shots in the midst of the polio
season, which would unavoid-
ably lead to the chance the vac
cine would be blamed for all
cases of polio.
In any event. it appeared that
officials in charge Of the pro-
gram in all areas will hold back
the decision until some definite
word on vaccine shipments is
received.
