Nation Ready
To Start Shots
inocuIution Task
BEGINS in Week
BY the Associated Press

Doctors and health officials in
communities across the Nation
today turned to the huge task
Of inoculating millions Of chill
dren against polio.
Most local Salk incubation
programs were expected to get
underway within about a week
of yesterdays announcement
that the vaccine was a safe and
potent protection against the
sometimes Gripping and fatal
disease.
From city after city came re-
ports that inoculations were
scheduled to start Monday or
sometime during the following
week. A number of cities, how
ever, said they did not expect to
begin until early May.
The earliest starting date so
far came from San Diego, Calf. =,
where authorities hope to begin
inoculating by Saturday.
First Shipments Made.
The first shipments Of vaccine
went out to State and local
health organizations last night
shortly after the Federal Gov
eminent formally licensed it for
general use. The official ap-
proval was given by Welfare
Secretary Hobby after Public
Health Service scientists evalu-
ated reports on last summers
vaccine field tests.
Opinions varied on how long
the vast incubation job would
take.

Only the Rats Remain.
In Rotting Hoiphong

the rats have moved where they
can find food-into the center
Of the city. Rats the size of
small cats scurry along the curbs
or crawl from shop to shop even
in daylight.
The Wet Namese don't seem
to mind. But a dozen Ameri-
cans still here combat the ro-
dents with planks. Mrs. Nancy
Austin. wife Of a United States
Information Service official and

with the menfolk.
Danger of Plague
The danger of a rat-borne
plague is great. The water sup
ply may carry cholera germs be-
fore the end comes.
Even the weather is depress-
ing. At this season a dank fog
hides the sun throughout the
day.
Hammering goes on around
the clock. Businessmen and
houSeholders are Grating their
belongings to ship to South Wet
Nam. Sometimes doors are taken
off their hinges to turn into
sides of crates.
Seats in the Haiphong opera
house are being packed. The
box seats with red velvet cover
ings look on an empty stage. A
hotel with great spiral stair
case and a spacious ballroom
stand empty except for q few
Grated items awaiting the
movers.
A few Frenchmen are operat-
ing their restaurants until the
very last. But even the French
men are losing interest in serv-
ing fine food. They know the
customers won't be back. Only
rats will remain.

A North Carolina official con-
tended in Supreme Court argu-
ments on desegregation today
that a State could constitution
ally abolish its public schools
and that North Carolina would
almost certainly do so if ordered
to integrate its system in the
near future.
Assistant Attorney General
Beverly Lake also said that. de-
spite the Supreme Court decision
of last May II outlawing public
school racial segregation. a State
conceivably could set up a CEN
tralized radio and TV educational
plan for children. He added,
however, that it could not force
children to look and listen.
Explaining that North Caro-
lima contemplateS no such State
schooling over the airwaves, Mr..
Lake told the tribunal:
II would say that the chance
that North Carolina will mingle
white and Negro children in its
public school system in the near
future is exceedingly remote.
That is why I have the greatest
fear that any early decree or
dering integration will cause the
abolition of public schools"

attorney general presented his
argument and suggestions as the
court convened for its third
afternoon of hearings on how

While Pentagon leaders have
been mapping out the military
side of the program for pre-
paredness. a less spectacular but
equally. important part is being
directed from the old State
Department Building. There,
Office of Defense Mobilization
planners work to develop a pro-
duction machine capable of
carrying on an all-out war and
prepare for the complete mobil-
lzation of the Nations economy
that would be required if war
should come.
All this is a break with the
American tradition of living in
a state of comfortable unreadi-
ness and waiting for an emer-
gency to strike before preparing
to meet it. But the planning
military, industrial and civilian
defense-recognizes the fact that
in the next war America itself
likely will be a battle-ground and
never again will we have two
years for a buildup, secure from
direct attack, as we did after
Pearl HarbOr.
Planning Perfected
The present compromise be-
tween about preparedness and
the old wait-until-trouble- comes
approach began long before
President Eisenhower took office.
But under his direction the pres
ent planning has been refined
and brought into line with the
requirements of the atomic age.
Early in the Korean war,
Pentagon chiefs sat down and
took a long look ahead. They
were convinced that Korea, while
serious, would not lead to a gen.
eral war. They also concluded
that peripheral wars like Korea
were the sort of Communist tao
tics that could be expected for q
long time to come. :,
This thinking led to q decision
that, while the country's mill
tary strength had to be built up
and built up rapidly from the
post World War II letdown, this
would be done short Of full
mobilization. Implicit in the
planning at that time was the
conviction the country no more
could risk peaks and valleys of
military power and that a pla-
teau of strength that could be

Senators to Investigate
Corsi Sabotage Charge

Judiciary Committee should get
to the bottom of the situation
because the fight involves adj
ministration of the McCarran-
Walter immigration Act and the
Refugee Relief Act, and because
it also involves the reputation of
Mr.. Corsi, who was a public SER
want in New York for many
years.
If an investigation is ordered,
the matter theoretically could be
referred to a judiciary subcom-
mittee headed by Representative
Walter. Democrat, of Pennsyl-
vania. But it was Mr.. Walters
attacks on Mr.. Corsi which pre-
cipitated public controversy over
the Corsi appointment.
Mr.. Heating pointed out that
Chairman Celler also could ap-
point a special subcommittee, or
turn the probe over to the fell
judiciary Committee.
Alteration Seen.

Senator Humphrey said:
ut is apparent to me, despite
your assurances that Mr.. Corsi's
change of assignment does not
involve any question of security
that this case represents another

Of the security program"
Senator Humphrey, chairman
of subcommittee studying the
Governments security program,
asked Mr.. Dulles to answer seven
questions in connection with the
Corsi case.
The questions are intended to
find out whether Mr.. Corsi's orig
inal job or the new one he turned
down were sensitive" The
questions also seek to find out
what investigations, if any. the

buG the thinking DehlnQ Oul
national security program never
really seems to take hold in the
national consciousness. It re.
mains ACCOMPLISHMENTS
elusive.
The difficulty of visualizine
what we. as a Nation. have beer
trying to do, stems largely from
the dual nature of the task.
Because we may find ourselves
under devastating attack at any
time. we must maintain a high
level Of instant military pre-
paredness-and arm ourselves
additionally. with a blueprint fol
complete civilian mobilization
for use if war starts.
But because our intention is
peaceful-because we hope not to
have to f1ght-we must devise
our security program so that ii
can be carried on for so years
Forever. If necessary.
Complicates Planning
This is the rub. 1t is not hard
to plan for war if you mean to
go to war. But it is hard to
plan for war when your pur-
pose is to insure peace. 1t has,
as history makes plain, never
been done before.
It all comes back to the old
saying that you can do anything
with a bayonet but sit on it.
In sense, however, that is
what this Nation must do dur
ing this cold war"
The administration, attempt
ing to make that seat as COM
Portable as possible, has stopped
short of about mobilization. 1t
is emphasizing, instead, air de-
lenses and the ability to strike
back massively by air in the
event of an enemy attack-and.
of course, the continuing develop
ment of atomic arms.
Simply stated, the program is
this: Instead of maintaining a
huge standing Army and a Navy
at full strength, with noun
famous stockpiles of guns and
tanks and other weapons of war,
the administration is holding
active military strength to what
Is needed to meet the initial
impact of war. At the same
time it Is establishing : a base
for a rapid and tremendous
buildup of military manpower
and arms production should the
need arise.
What is being undertaken was
demonstrated dramatically by
the recent decision to cut back
the Army's manpower strength
by more than 100000, while
moving at the same time to build
up a reservoir of 5 million
