Of Asiatic fiu itself once its

isn't any. Physicians can only
treat the symptoms and make
the misery q bit more bearable.
But, even II one gets the vac
cine incubation in time to fore
stall sickness from the type Of
flu expected to sweep the Ma
ton, the doctors aren't abb
solutely sure the vaccine will
do the trick. It seems there
are several strains Of the dis
ease.
Virus Is Centuries Old
The special vaccine IS being
prepared for this particular
strain only. It does not act
against other types. and-in
turn-other types Of influenza
vaccine afford little protection
from the latest villain.
A Public Health Service
spokesman pointed out the In
fiuenza virus is centuries old
About every 10 or 20 years q
new strain emerges-the imedi-
cal men don't know why. Each
special type requires its own
vaccine as q checkmate.
The type now worrying medi-
cal authorities from Maine to
California is known as Type A
Far East strain. Ofncials said
there are at least four major
types-A, B, c and d. each
with several sub-strains.
Started In Hong Kong
They said the new strain Of
Type A is different from any
previously known. II apparently
broke out in Hong Kong and
Singapore last April, spreading
progressively through much Of
the Far East.
Strains Of the new type were
sent to six licensed manufac-
turers on May %. and the first
experimental vaccine arrived
at the National Institutes Of
Health for testing in June.
The first batch Of the new
vaccine-502 900 cubic cent?
meters-was approved as being
up to Government standards
several weeks ago. Each dose
carries 'one cubic centimeter Of
the preventative.
All this is q background to
what win probably be the most
concentrated fight against q
communicable disease in his
tory.
For the first time the Public
Health Service has predicted a
major epidemic in the United
States.

Senator Dirksen, Republican
Of Illinois. an Appropriations
Committee member, was quoted
as saying: Its going to be
q tough fight Ito restore funds

Aiken. Republican Of Vermont,
Q Foreign Relations Committee
member. said he thought the
committees recommendation
would be closer to So billion.
But he added that President
Eisenhower's appeals apparent
ly have failed to stir up any
grass roots demand for greater
foreign aid OUTLAWS at this time.
Drive for Adjournment
The final total enacted into
law win depend on the outcome
Of q House-Senate conference
as Congress drives for adjourn
ment, perhaps late this week.
Even If the Senate committee
recommends more than s. bill
lion late tomorrow and the
Senate concurs on Tuesday. the
bills eventual total might not
be more than $2.8 or $40 bill
lion.
The size Of the 252-13O House
vote last Thursday night was
cited by some House members
as ample evidence that the
House would insist on keeping
a compromise total as close as
possible to t2.5 billion in new
money.
After a breakfast conference
with President Eisenhower yes
terday, House Republican
Leader Martin offered no pre-
dictions about the final shape
Of the foreign aid bill. He told
reporters that Mr.. Eisenhower
was "very disappointed" by the
severe cuts voted by the House
and hoped the Senate would
restore most Of the appropria-
ton. He remarked that we're
wishfully hoping"
Special Session Discounted
He added that there was no
further talk Of calling Congress
into special session next fall.
Earlier last week Mr.. Eisea-
hover said this might be
necessary If the cuts were too
drastic.
An authorization bill passed
by both branches earlier last
week set a $3.3 billion ceiling
tor appropriation Of foreign aid
money, not including approx
mately $614 million in un-
obligated balances that could
be carried over from last year.
In voting $2.5 billion in new
money in the appropriation bill.
the House also approved 1857
million in unobligated balances,
for q total Of $3.19l, 8l0, 900.
That overall sum is $809, $50, 900
below the ceiling and more than

number at the beginning and

The Federal figures tended
to support Corrections Director
Donald Clemmer's plea for
more facilities to deal with his
ever-spiralling load. The city's
Public Works Program Review
Committee supported the plea
last June by recommending a
50. 0e6, 900 construction pro-
gram over the next six years.
Other figures in the annual
report Of the Federal Bureau
Of Prisons shed some light on
the conclusion Of the Karrick
Committee on Prisons, Proba-
ton and Parole that many per-
sons are being kept in custody
here who could be safely re-
leased on parole, II there were
enough stan to supervise them.
Paradox Reported
The Federal report showed
that during 1856 an average
of 55.6 Of the released prison.
ers went out on parole from
State institutions. In the Dis
trict, the report noted. only
$50 per cent - approximately
one half-of the releases were
on parole.
The report increased noted
this paradox: Although major
crimes by SO per cent in the
period from 1910 to 1856. the
number Of commitments to
State prisons showed only an
IL per cent increase in the
period.
why serious crimes have
shown so much greater q rise
over the past l6 years than
commitments to State prisons
can only be a matter OF con-
lecture" the report stated.
"One explanation may lie In
the increased use Of probation
and suspended sentences as q
substitute for imprisonment"
Other Findings
The report added that an
other reason might be the ef-
feet Of the increased proportion
Of serious offenses carried out
by juveniles who. II sent to
confinement. would not nor
mally be committed TO the in
situations covered in the report.
The report noted these other
findings:
Escapes-The District was
one Of the four jurisdictions
reporting no escapes during the
year. North Carolina, with an
extensive road-camp system,
reported the most with 1884.
Parole - In the State Of
Washington, 99.2 per cent Of
all releases were on parole.
Oklahoma had the lowest rate
with rs per cent. Ten States
reported using parole in more
than so per cent Of their

PrObers Told Of Meetings
The undercover role played
by Mr.. Morros was brought to
light at an interview last week
in the United States Attorneys
once in New York after Myra
Soble and Jacob Albam were
convicted Of espionage. Jack
Soble Is awaiting sentence.
Mr.. Walter said the COM
mittee has been in contact
with Mr.. Morros for the past six
months and that he gave the
committee Significant infor-
nation about Soviet espionage
operations" under oath In New
York Friday.
Mr.. Walter said Mr.. Morros
testified that Vassili zubilin,
former second secretary in the
Soviet Embassy. took Mr.. Nor
ros to the home Of Stern and
his wife. Martha Dodd, in
Connecticut.
Mr.. Morros at the time
operated a small photograph
record company in Los Angeles,
the Boris Morros Music Co.,
which he. had established for
his son.
"At the meeting with the
Sterns." Mr.. Walter said. ut
was proposed by zubilin that
the Boris Morros Music Co.
be expanded with money fur
nished by Stern.
Friction Hats Project
This firm was to serve as an
espionage cover and provide an
opportunity to legitimize Soviet
agents as representatives OF the
firm. Stern did advance the
sum Of 10000. but the project
collapsed because Of personal
friction between Mr.. Morros
and the Stems.
Subsequent to this, Martha
Dodd wrote a derogatory report
to her superiors in which she
questioned Mr.. Morros' loyalty
to the Soviet apparatus"
When zubilin left the United
States. according to Mr.. Nor
ros' testimony, Jack Soble be-
came Mr.. Morros' superior In
the espionage operation and
sent Mr.. Morros to Moscow in
1850 to meet Soviet spy chiefs
and receive assignments.

The American public is now
being hit with a series Of soft
sell" advertising campaigns.
A soft SELF campaign is one
in which the advertiser does not
hit you over the head with a
baseball bat. Instead. you are
knocked silly with pillow.
The newest soft sell is a tele-
vision commercial for a candy
company, in which the an
nouncer knocks over a display
Iof the product, forgets its name
and generally fumbles. It's on
film and the story along Madi-
son avenue Is that there had to
be a lot of retakes because the
announcer kept forgetting and
did things right.
The theory is that these very
natural errors will disarm the
viewer and make him sympa-
thetic to the announcer and,
hence, to the advertising mes
sage.
Unhappy Beverage
Another new soft sell gimmick,
this one on radio. is by a bother
of soft drinks. The commercial
consists Of an apology for the
bottler's sarsaparilla, which is
not a happy" drink. Other bev-
Ierages in the line are mentioned
as happy and the announcer ex-
plains that the sarsaparilla is not
happy because Of its name
Would you be happy if your
name was Sarsaparilla?" he
asks.
Another new radio commercial
urges listeners to try Venom
for their troubles. guaranteed to
pick them UP and give them a
new outlook on life. 1t has two
ingredients. just like a doctors
prescription. They are gold and
silver. The advertisement is for
a chain of loan establishments
and Venom" is money" spelled
backward.
One of the most successful
soft-sell campaigns has been for
an Eastern coffee and every hour
on the hour a radio speaker
urges listeners not to buy the
coffee unless they are plain
crazy" about good coffee. The
coffee. he says. costs more than
ordinary coffee and people who
are satisfied with ordinary coffee
should not waste their money by
buying his brand. This seeming
frankness seems to sell the stuff

NEW YORK. April 16 R.-
The American Stock Exchange
today suspended trading in the
common stock of Swan Finch

The exchange said this action
was "necessitated by the CON-
Iplications to trading which arise
Jas a result Of the allegation that
certain shares have been. or may
be. in distribution without COM
Ipliance with the registration
provisions Of the Securities Act
of 1888"
Another factor which prompted
today's action. the exchange said
was the failure of the company
to supply the exchange. despite
repeated requests. with certain
basic facts concerning recent de-
Ivelopments in the company"
Supreme Court Justice William
C. Hecht. jr.. held up a stock
holders meeting pending further
action on a petition to examine
