The
Rambler
Is Fascinated
By On Old Speech
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Vincent Eaton of the
Library Of Congress, who has
made a study of Mark
Twain's contribution to the
press, suggested that the
Rambler check The Star of
January IL, 1858. Mr.. Eaton
said:

sponded.
"Its first publication was
in The Star. Since then it
has become a very popular

What fascinated the RAM
bier was the annual address
OF the president of the club,
George w. Adams.
Adams, a Hoosier, had
been Washington CORE
spondent of the New York

Health Service Asks
For Data on Polio
Census Bureau
May Survey
Use of Shots

The United States Public
Health Service has asked the
Census Bureau to include ques-
lions on polio vaccination in
next months sample popula-
ton survey, DR.. Leroy E. Bur-
ney, Surgeon General, an
nounced today.
The request, to obtain data
on the groups and areas where
vaccinations are most needed,
was first reported late yester-
day to a closed meeting of med
ical and public health authori-
ties called to discuss means of
pushing the vaccination pro-
gram to include all persons ia
the United States under the
age of 40.
While there still is an acute
shortage OF the vaccine. DR..
Burney urged communities to
plan campaigns to be put into
action as fast as their vaccine
orders can be filled.
Final Doses Needed
He declared that about Al
million persons under 40 have
had no injections of the vac
cine. He also noted that of
the 68 million vaccinated per-
sons some 48 million still need
one or more doses to complete
the recommended schedule OF
three injections.
/ Proving the effectiveness of
the vaccine, DR.. Burney said.
is the fact that during the week
ending last Friday only Sc par.
alytic polio cases had been re-
ported as against 212 for the
same week last year. So far
in 1857, 730 have been reported
as against 1879 for the same
period in 1856.
DR.. Burney said he has en-
couraged the vaccine producers
to maintain peak production
not only during the summer
but throughout the fall and
winter months.
He added that he is also
keeping the manufacturers in
formed on plans for promoting
the use of it to help plan flu
ture production schedules.
"StiII Not Enough"
Even though there is still
not enough vaccine to meet
all current demands, plans
should be made to prevent a
repetition of the situation
which occurred last fall" the
Surgeon General said.
"At that time, because Of a
lag in public demand, the
problem of vaccine shortage
turned rapidly into a problem
of vaccine surplus" Then.
when the demand came. in
anticipation of this summers
polio season, there was an
lacute shortage.
The group, with representa-.
tives of the American Medical
Association. the Department Of
Defense. the Association Of
State and Territorial Health
officers and several others,
called on communities to esti-
mate their total vaccine moods
and be ready for intensive
campaigns as swiftly as the
orders. can be filled.

"On the basis of other cost

said.
The Commission study rec
commended a Is per cent in

Insurance Hit
Mr.. league announced last

He said the new provisions will

trict insurance superintend-

The superintendent, Albert
F. Jordan, was asked by Mr..
league to submit suggestions

is covered" In a previous sub
committee hearing, Represent
alive Multer, Democrat of New
York, charged Mr.. Jordan and
the Commission with failing to
see if taxicab insurance COM
piled with the law.
Mr.. league noted that the
revision will include insurance
coverage for cabs whether they
are being used at the time to
carry passengers.
Mr.. Hyde added:
I'VE should have a law that
insures cabs when they go over
the District line and assures
that they are covered regard
less if they are being operated
as a cab or private vehicle"
Insurance rates would go up
Is to so per cent if Congress
passes a bill pending before the
subcommittee. The proposal
would increase minimum in
surance required of drivers to
$4,000 for property damage.
$4,000 for the death of one
person and $4,000 for the
death or injury of one or more
persons.
The chairman of the Board
of Revocation and Review of
Hackers Identification Licenses
told the subcommittee the
average District cab driver has
a trouble-free record.
Considering that there are
1000 drivers and only 143
complaints serious enough to be

The Dodgers. already leaning

push toward Los Angeles today.
Sentiment apparently with
cred under the stark reality Of
cold financial figures. New
York's Board Of Estimate was
expected to inform Walter

cost the city too much to keep
the club in Brooklyn under the
conditions he has outlined.
OMalley's next step con-
ceivably would be to accept Los

has called very fair and at

consideration"
Whether it would come today
was q matter of speculation in

in downtown Brooklyn for q

Although no ofiicial an
nouncement was made. it was
learned the Board, after two
long executive meetings, was
strongly opposed to Rockefel-

said despite Rockefeller's gen.

stand to lose as much as $6Ia

O'Malley was reported tired
