Nation’s Leaders
Will Evaluate
Capital in Drill
WASHINGTON, UP*—President
Eisenhower goes back to war on
a ‘simuated basis Wednesday to
lead 15,000 top bracket govern
ment officials and employes in an
unprecedented partial evacuation
of the national capital.
With two hours warning at best,
atom or hydrogen weapons sup
posedly will blast Washington and
48 other selected target cities in
the nation, along with six more in
Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and
the Canal Zone.
Sirens screaming an alarm
shortly after noon EDT Wednes
day will signal the start of “Oper
ation Alert 1955," to test govern
ment action as well as civil de
fense plans around the nation.
Eisenhower, the Cabinet, mili
tary chiefs and other key leaders
will scramble into cars, planes
and buses, and head for secret re
treats to start running the gov
ernment on a war crisis basis.
Secretary of Defense Wilson will
use a helicopter.
Then, for three days, the care
fully picked core of essential peo
- pie from 31 federal departments
and agencies will operate from
secret relocation sites spread out
as far as 300 miles northwest,
west and southwest of Washing
ton. They will take on the burden
of solving the vast maze of prob
lems that would descend on them
in the first 30 days of nuclear war.
Some of the evacuated workers
will live in hotels, motels and
boarding houses for the three-day
test. But 600 will occupy floorless
tents devoid of plumbing.
Congress and the courts aren’t
taking part. All 227,000 Washing
ton employes of the executive
branch of government, however,
will evacuate their offices on a
token basis.

SHE'S A BIG GIRL NOW
! LOS ANGELES, UP)—Redhaired
actress Piper Laurie is $7,850
richer today. She went down to
the Hall of Records and picked up
U.S. bonds which Superior Court
had ordered her to buy between
1950, when she landed her first
movie contract, and Jan. 22, 1953, '
when she turned 21. Piper is 23
now and has appeared in 14 films.
A 1950 court order impounded
part of her earnings as a minor.
She got the bonds Friday.
Many of New York’s theaters
today are relics of a 19th century
revival of Italian theatrical inte
riors overladen with gold and
The Proverbs of Solomon are

famous Egyptian work, “the
Teachings of Amenope.”
P WASHINGTON (m—‘The Public
Health Service was under fire
from two quarters Saturday as
Surgeon General Leonard A.
Scheele declared “We can go for
ward,” now that the safety of
antipolio vaccine production has
been assured by stiffer standards.
Scheele’s confident statement
came at a news conference Friday
after publication of a lengthy
“white paper”—a detailed review
by the health service of the brief
but troubled history of the Salk
vaccine program.
The surgeon general conceded
the program “might have come
close to the line of safety” in the
past. But he said he had no doubts
about safety now.
In New York, Basil O’Connor,
president of the National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis, criti
cized the document, saying it “ob
viously gives only the Public
Health Service version of the vac
cine situation to date.”
In Philadelphia, H. W. Blades,
executive vice president of Wyeth
Inc., took strong exception to a
statement by Dr. James A. Shan
non, an associate director of the
health services National Institute
of Health (NIH). Shannon said
Friday one batch of vaccine made
by Wyeth is being subjected to
searching laboratory analysis, al
though he said there was not
enough evidence to label that lot
suspect. In its white paper, the
health service said the circum
stances of three polio cases had
raised some question about the
vaccine used.
Blades termed it4 “most unfor
tunate, misleading and not in the
public interest” that “suspicion
should be cast on Wyeth vaccine
and its routine retesting program
and inference be given that Wyeth
vaccine is suspect.”
The drug company official
said it’s been nearly two months
since injections with Wyeth vac
cine began. “Information avail
able to date does not warrant the
implications contained the state
ment attributed to Dr. Shannon,”
Blades said.
While Scheele reiterated his
confidence in the vaccine and
voiced optimism, he did not say
when he expected the mass im
munization of school children to
get back into full forward motion.
Meanwhile, the summer peak
polio season drew closer with
many localities still awaiting fresh
supplies of vaccine with which to
inject first and second graders.

Stowaway Nabbed After
Trip From Alaska Where
He Couldn't Find Job
SEATTLE, (A\—The FBI said
Friday a man with a wife and
three children at his Boulder,

set. The FBI told this story:
Krempley stowed away from

Unable to find work, he hitch
hiked from Seward to Anchorage.
Still without work, he hitched to
Valdez, walking most of the way.
He went aboard the coastal
freighter James Likck June 2,
hiding in the No. 5 hold and liv
ing on tomatoes he found there.
After three days he was found,
in one of the ship’s holds, and

10 Crewmen Killed
In Alps Crash of
Air Force Bomber
STUTTGART, Germany, —A
four-engine US. Air Force bomb
er crashed into a rocky hillside of
the Swabian Alps and exploded
shortly before last midnight. Ger

was on a training mission.
“On an instrument training
flight, the aircraft had just made
a low approach to the Stuttgart
airfield and was climbing away
from the field when radio contact
was lost with the control authori
ties.” The announcement said the
plane had “intended to fly to Mu
nich, perform instrument training
at Stuttgart and return to Moes
worth before landing on a round
robin flight.”
