Hagerty Relaxes
Ban on Reporters
WASHINGTON, WV-^James C.
Hagerty, White House press secre
tary, relented Thursday and lifted
a day-old ban against reporters
visiting President Eisenhower’s
office.
“Yesterday I apparently blew
my top,” Hagerty said with a grin.
“I am entitled to blow my top
once in a while, but let’s forget it.”
In reply to a question, he added
with another grin that the ban
was lifted “unless I blow my top
again.”
Hagerty said yesterday that re
porters would be banned from
Eisenhower’s office because they
overheard a conversation there
between the President and Secre
tary of Welfare Hobby.
The reporters had been let into
the office while photographers
were taking pictures of the two.
Eisenhower and Mrs. Hobby
had been discussing his news con
ference remark that he is confi
dent the Salk vaccine will elim
inate polio in the UJS. within a
reasonable time. Then the Presi
dent added, with reference to the
vaccine, that he “couldn’t be hap
pier that his grandchildren have
had it.”
At the request of reporters,
Hagerty checked and t°kl them
later only one of the President’s
three grandchildren (David, 7) had
received an inoculation. He re
fused to explain the President’s
remark which indicated all three
had been vaccinated.
The program of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
provides only for inoculations of
first and second graders. The
President’s other grandchildren,
Barbara Ann, who will be 6 on
* May 30, and Susan, 3, are not in
that category.
After saying that only David
had received the vaccine, Hagerty
told reporters with considerable
irritation that thereafter they
would not be permitted to go to
the President’s office when pho
tographers made pictures. He said
only the cameramen would be ad
mitted.

20 Years ‘Pampering’ of
Labor Racketeers Being
Ended by Republicans
DES MOINES, Iowa, WV-Atty.
Gen. Brownell said Wednesday
night 20 years of “Democratic
pampering” of labor leaders’ rack
eteering is being ended by the Re
publican Administration.
He told 1,700 Iowa Republicans
the administration’s war on “par
asitic labor racketeers” is restor
ing the foundations of the Ameri
can political system.
The former GOP national chair
man addressed the annual state
wide $25-a-plate fund raising din
ner.
In an earlier press conference,
Brownell said “I think the Presi
dent (Eisenhower) will run again”
in 1956.
Brownell said in his speech
that during the past two years the
present administration has se
cured 70 indictments under the
anti-racketeering and Taft-Hart
ley laws as compared to five by
the Democratic administrations in
the eight years prior to 1953.

Eisenhower May
Get Standby Power
In Vaccine Control
WASHINGTON, <*►—A move
was gaining momentum in Con
gress yesterday to give President
Eisenhower sweeping standby
powers to clamp controls over dis
tribution and prices of Salk polio
vaccine.
Rep. Wolcott (R-Mich) said the
proposal seems to be a “happy
compromise” between contradic
tory demands for only voluntary
guides and for drastic, compulsory
and immediate controls.
He added he thought standby
powers should be satisfactory to
the Eisenhower Administration,
which has opposed federal con
trols so far.
Wolcott, usually a foe of fed
eral controls, is senior Republican
on the House Banking Committee,
which is considering a wide vari
ety of vaccine control bills.
Committee Chairman Spence
(D-Ky) said standby controls
“might well be the best solution,”
but he w'as not ready to commit
himself until he explores the tick
lish matter further.
These comments came yester
day while:
1. The Public Health Service
continued an on-the-spot recheck
of vaccine manufacturing at the
Parke-Davis and Co. laboratories
in Detroit, the first of five manu
facturers to be inspected. Surgeon
General Leonard Scheele has
called for a halt in the nationwide
vaccination of school children
pending these plant-by-plant re
checks.
2. Scheele agreed to go before
the committee today to explain
the situation further. Both he and
Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, secretary
of health, education and welfare,
had declined invitations to testify
Wednesday.
Mrs. Revsceblic told us about a
cat that eats cheese and then
waits by the mouse hole with
baited breath.

Postal Pay Bill Faces
Possible Veto by Monday;
Senate Sustainment Seen
WASHINGTON, Uft—A quick
presidential veto, perhaps by
Monday, reportedly awaits a bill
to raise postal workers’ pay 8.8
percent. Sen. Carlson (R-Kan)
said he is certain the Senate will
sustain the veto if it comes.
The Senate passed the compro
mise measure 66-11 late Wednes
day and sent it to President Eis
enhower. The House acted Mon
day by a 328-66 vote.
Carlson said the President had
never discussed a veto with him.
But it was learned the White
House has told key Republican
lawmakers they can expect a veto
message quickly.
Eisenhower, who favored a
smaller raise, has said publicly
only that he would study the mat
ter carefully.
The 66-11 tally was far more
than enough to override a veto,
but Carlson said there would be
many switches if and when the
question of sustaining the Presi
dent arises. The Senate would
have to act first on overriding if
Eisenhower returns the bill.
USSR & M Opens
New Operation
On Bear Creek
FAIRBANKS—James D. Craw
ford, vice president and general
manager of the U.S. Smelting, Re
fining and Mining Co. here, an
nounced recently plans to open a
new dredging operation on Bear
Creek in the basin of the Hogatza
<Hog) River, a tributary of the
Koyukuk.
The new operation in the Nula
to Precinct is about 70 miles west
of Hughes. Mining claims were
purchased from the late James
Huntington 15 years ago, and will
be operated separately from the
Nome and Fairbanks branches.
Supplies will be brought in by
river boat from Nenana and by
air from the Bering Sea coast.
Labor for the most part will be
obtained from the Koyukuk and
Kobuk regions.
Plans call for moving the six
cubic-foot dredge from Livengood
which was purchased this spring
from the Calahan Lead-Zinc Co.
It is to be dismantled, trucked to
Fairbanks, then shipped 800 miles
by riverboat and barge down the •
Chena, Tanana and Yukon Rivers
then up the Koyukuk to within 20
miles of its new location. The last
lap will be an overland haul to
the mining operation where it is
to be re-assembled.
