Rambunctious Alligator
Staves Off Army Officers
FT. STEWART, Ga. UP) — A
o-foot alligator proved too ram
bunctious for three Army officers
from Ft. Stewart.
Capt. H. E. Motley said he
and the other officers were driv
ing a truck on the Army reser
vation last week when they spot
ted the reptile crawling along the
road and “stopped to have a little
fun.” t
“We took a canoe paddle out
of the truck and poked it at the
alligator,” he said. ‘Tt snapped
the paddle in two. We started
back toward the truck. So did
the alligator.
“We got another paddle and
tried to beat the alligator off but
it splintered that paddle, too.”
Motley said they climbed into
the truck and the alligator then
crawled under the vehicle, chew
ing off the tailpipe and muffler
and biting the axle.
At that point, Motley said, the
officers decided they were no
match for the reptile and drove
away quickly.

Cuba Abstains
Signing of Punta
Del Este Charter
PUNTA DEL ESTE, Uruguay UPi
—The United States and IS Latin
American nations Thursday signed
the 8,000-word Charter of Punta
Del Este. thus officially launching
President Kennedy’s $20-billion
alliance for progress. Cuba ab
stained.
Secretary of Treasury Douglas
Dillon signed for the United
States. The 18th to sign, he was
warmly applauded.
Venezuela, following an order
of precedence decided by lot at
the start of the 13-day conference,
signed first.
Uruguay, the host country, was
last.
The alliance for progress is in
tended to get the jump on the
spread of Communism in Latin
America.
In the closing hours Dillon and
Cuban economic czar Ernesto
Guevara traded bitter words after
the united States and 19 of the
20 - American participants ap
proved the charter and a 1,000
word summary to explain the pro
gram to Latin America’s 200
million people.
The alliance plan provides for
financial aid and self-help over
the next ten years to improve the
lot of Latin America’s 200-million
citizens and reduce the region’s
glaring gap between poverty and
wealth.
Dillon declared that Cuba will
never benefit frpm the alliance
for progress “as long as the gov
erment of Cuba remains under the
control of a foreign power —
namely, the Soviet Union.”
Dillon added, Cuba’s tactics
here demonstrated that Fidel Cas
tro’s regime did not come to
Punta Del Este with “the inten
tion of developing” the alliance
but “for political reasons.”
Guevara was the only delegate
who failed to sign the 8,000-word
charter.
The chief of the U. S. delega
tion hailed the night-and-day toil
of American 'Republics as achiev
ing a pact that will serve as “the
guiding post for the future of the
America’s.”

Oral Polio 4
Vaccine to Be
Marketed Soon
WASHINGTON OP) — The gov
ernment Thursday announced
clearance of oral polio vaccine
for protection against one of the
three types of polio.
A license has been granted to
manufacture the easy-to-take live
virus vaccine for Type I Polio.
Surgeon Gen. Luther L. Terry
of the Public Health Service said:
“I want to emphasize that an oral
vaccine providing protection
against all three types of polio
myelitis will not be available for
some time. The vaccine being
licensed produces immunity only
against Type I Polio.”
“Therefore, it is of the highest
importance that vaccinations con
tinue with the Salk Vaccine which
is the only weapon we have to
day to provide protection against
all three types of polio,” he said.
“The Public Health Service will
continue its efforts to promote
the widest possible use of the
Salk Vaccine. When the full
series of oral vaccine becomes
available, we will also help In its
promotion.”
Terry said that of the three
types of polio virus, Type 1 has
been responsible In recent years
for between 60 and 70 per cent
of all paralytic polio in this coun
try.
The Type I license was issued
to Pfizer Ltd., Sandwich, England.
The vaccine will be marketed in
the United States by Chas. Pfizer
& Co., Inc. of New York.
The live oral polio vaccine was
developed by Dr. Albert Sabin, of
Cincinnati. The Salk Vaccine, ad
ministered by injection, depends
on killed virus. It was developed
by Dr. Jonas Salk of Pittsburgh.
