Hearing Room Crowded and Bit Hostile
As Secretary Presents Vaccine Plans

Mrs. Hobby advanced some
distance toward the philosophy
of her opposition by finally
putting out a program of pri-
critics. They are an admission
of Federal responsibility while
the vaccine is in short supply.
She also remedied a presi-
dental omission by asking for
funds to pay vaccine costs for
needy children. The President
had said they would get it but
had not said how.
Her program - is still con-.
troversial. and so by now is
she. It was plain that she knew
it when she faced the Senators.
Their complaints and that
of some Representatives have
been made publicly. What she
knows, too. is that the Cover
nors. when they met her re-
Gently, unanimously agreed to
send their executive officer,
Frank Bane, to the White
House with warnings that the
situation was not pretty in all
the States and might get out of
hand.
Added to the Bane mission
have been friendly alerts from
the press and radio. Polls have
shown parents taking fright
over the vaccine program and
saying they would not allow
their children to have it.

Russia Means to Form Dunubion Union
Thdt Would Include Vienna Regime
CONSTANTINE BROWN

How safe is Austria's newly
won independence? This ques-
ton is being quietly asked in
Washington even by those who
Joined in the chorus of jubila-
tion which accompanied sign
ing Of the Vienna treat.
The foreign ministers of the
big powers said the treaty will
assure Austria not only her
independence and sovereignty
but will also make her politi-
cally into another Switzer-
land" The pact provides specif-
ically that Austria will hence
forth become a strictly neutral
republic, like her neignbor
which has enjoyed that self
imposed status for centuries.
The truth is that Austria
cannot survive on her own.
And while the ink on the treaty
is not yet dry there is already
talk that Austria will eventu-
ally become a member of the
Danubian federation-includ-
ing Hungary, Romania, Bull
garia and Yugoslavia-to be
organized at a convenient time
by the USSR.
Such a federation before the
outbreak Of World War II
could have saved those states
from Hitlerian domination. But
unfortunately the power poll
tics played in Europe prevented
such a sound idea. Now. if
Austria joins the Danubian
states willingly or by necessity,
she will become a Danubian
satellite like the others.
Students of the economic
situation discount the sugges-
tion that Austria can assume
the same position as Switzer-
land, which Is one of the most
prosperous countries in Eu-
rope. Switzerland has a bank
ing system which makes her
second only to Britain in that
field: she has old-fashioned
industries which assure a
stable and remunerative in
come; she has practically no
unemployment, and she has
the lowest national debt and
taxation in the world.
Austrian national resources
are far more limited. For the
next 10 years Austria must
send to the USSR / million
tons of oil from the lister
dorf fields, whose capabilities
are limited. Moreover. she
must pay $3.50 million over a
period Of six years for a num-
ber of industrial plants, which
were taken over by the Nazis
in 1888, then confiscated by
the Russians and now are be-
ing returned to the Vienna
government. This may sound
like a picayunish amount to
us. But to the Austrians it
represents a substantial por-
tion of their budget.
The prospective departure Of,
occupation troops before De-
cember 81 has been received
with mixed feelings by the
Austrian population. The peo-
pie are overjoyed at the evac-
uation Of the Russians, but
feel differently about depar-
ture of the American forces.
This is due to the fact that
Uncle Sam has been a good
spender. According to conserv-

DORIS FLEESON

Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby has
finally met the congressional
critics of her actions in the
polio vaccine field. At the con-
clusion of the exchange. the
Secretary of Health, Education
and Welfare was as far apart
as ever from the Senators who
think her new voluntary pro-
gram is far too little and much
too late.
The Secretary had delayed
the meeting until she could
face them with a program.
She had handed it to President
Eisenhower a few hours earlier,
slightly more than a month
after the success of the vaccine
was announced.
He signed on the dotted line,
they posed for pictures, and
then she went to the Hill. The
scent Of battle on this issue is
IN the air and she found the
hearing room crowded and to
a degree hostile.
Perhaps the line Of her testi-
mony that best epitomizes the
gap between her and her critics
was her cool assertion; mo
one could foresee the public
demand for the Salk vaccine"
They believe any sensible per-
son could foresee it and recog-
nize 1t as a national problem.

Loyal Democrats in the South

before to the Dixiecrat splin-
ter party movement.
Gov. Shivers typifies that
sort of a deal and dealer to
regular Southern democrats
who take their party and its
principles seriously. It is easy
for the latter to understand
his bitter hostility toward Adlai
Stevenson from one episode
during the 1852 campaign. You
may remember how the Texas
Governor visited the 1852
Democratic presidential candi-
date at Springfield, ILL.,, and be-
sought Mr.. Stevenson to come
out for State control of off,
shore oil lands instead of
Federal control. Mr.. Stevenson
refused point blank, and
promptly issued a public state
ment explaining why-one of
those rare examples Of political
courage in the midst of a cam
paign. Miffed, Gov. Shivers
returned to Texas and there
upon announced his support of
Gen. Eisenhower, for which he
and big Texas oil magnates
won their reward when Pres
ident Eisenhower made trans
fer of offshore oil lands to the
States the number one project
in his legislative program and
signed the bill when it came
to him as he had promised he
would do in the campaign.
The aim of loyal Texas
Democrats is to try to re-
capture the party from the
Shivers faction at the State
convention next year so they
can name the 1856 national
convention delegation. That is
the course being urged by
Speaker Sam Rayburn upon

fense line of the West by the
setting up of neutral belts

tactics in Austria and Yugo-

S. While the reduction in
ground forces is possible now

All of this was a bit too
flip and arrogant for Demo-
Gratis who have worked hard,
year after year, for the. party
and its candidates, including
Adlai Stevenson in 1852.
Also Mr.. Buffers appeasing
gestures came along just after
his predecessor, former Chair
man Stephen Mitchell, had
spoken up to urge that Gov.
Shivers and the other 1852
deserters be barred as dele
gates to the 1856 convention
unless they agree to support
the party's nominees. Thereby
he put in words what is felt
by so many regular Democrats
in the South. They work for
the party because of convic-
ton about what it stands for
and has stood for through its
long history. They have no
patience consequently for pro-
fessed party leaders who get
elected as Democrats and then
try to deliver their following,

and economic beliefs, includ-

to roll up their sleeves and go

precincts. It is understood that
if the party is recaptured, then
the loyalists will seek to restore
by convention action the pledge
formerly required Of national
convention delegates from
Texas that they would support

This suggests a course that
may, be employed by other
Southern States to assure loyal
delegations.

Butler Is not as clear as was

II teen-agers were to be
polled on their choice of the
best male popular vocal group
on records, it would probably
be the "Hilltoppers." Con-
sidering that this group was
definitely a teen favorite, l
went to hear the Hilltoppers
at their first rehearsal and
interviewed the four good
looking college boys. Whatta
riot!
This very casual group. which
was all decked out in sporty
sport clothes, is made up of
(going down the picture) fea-
ture singer Jimmy Sacca, Give
Dill, Eddie Grove and Bob
Gaye. All of them are college
students. And all of them are
single!
The name of Hilltoppers is
even college-wise, since they
chose the name after the foot
ball team of their alma mater,
West Kentucky State College.
At college, however, they were
Just a barber shop quartet
performing at college func-
tions and serenading the girls
dormitory.
"All our luck came when one
of the group wrote a song,
Trying" explained Jimmy.
"After he wrote it, we all sang
it on tape using just a piano
as the musical background.
We sold it to the then small
Dot Co. and then suddenly it
burst into q hit song, selling
three-quarters of a million
records!"
Some of their famous rec
ords are "P. S., I Love You,
From the Vine Came the
Grape" IT'LL Then" and "To
Be Alone" Postscript: 'P. S.,
ILove You" sold over one mil
lion records. Their newest
song, which is on the Wash
ington hit parade, is Ken
tuckian Song"
AS for the personal life OF
the Hilltoppers: They don't
own a car and go everywhere
by plane; with their riches
they buy clothes and deyour
foreign foods, mostly italian.
And it takes them only 2
minutes to get ready to come
out on stage for the per-
formance! Lastly, and most
amazing. they never argue
with each other except to de-
eide who's the best looking!
Speaking of their per-
formance and getting ready:
They wear sweaters and
beanies (gung-ho college) and
white bucks. They truthfully
admitted that they can't at
tribute their success to one
thing since they consider their
success luck. 1--WE were so
lucky" they all agreed, "We
never planned on being en-
tertainers, and we still can't
believe that it's happened. One
bit of advice, however, to any
one interested in becoming q
singer: Make a tape and send
1t to large and small record
companies, even if it is a small
company, they might be the
ones to help you reach the
