Salk Vaccine Said
Reduces Incidence
Polio 50 Percent
DETROIT, (#)—Surgeon General
Leonard A. Scheele said today
preliminary reports indicate the
Salk anti-polio vaccine has re
duced the incidence of' paralytic
polio among vaccinated children
by 50 per cent or more.
“It is difficult not to be very
optimistic about the value of the
vaccine as used this year,” the
surgeon general said.
In a talk before the Economic
Club of Detroit, Scheele said the
vaccine’s apparent curb on para
lytic polio is all the more notable
because many of the yuongsters
studied had received only one shot
instead of the recommended three.
“It is reasonable to expect even
greater protection when the full
course of immunization is com
pleted,” he said.

in retreat in the Atlas Mountains
today after a series of weekend
guerrilla attacks in eastern Mor
occo and along the Spanish Mor
occan frontier.

and two children, were slain in
a ferocious attack at Immouzer

band of 2,000 were reported killed
before the tribesmen began their
retreat in the face of French
tanks, planes and troops. .The
tribesmen were friendly to the
Sultan who left this throne Sat
urday.
Four other outposts defended
by Moroccans in French uniforms
were attacked Saturday night and
Sunday and two were temporarily
given up by the French.
The outbreaks came on the
heels of Sultan Mohammed Ben
Moulay Arafa’s departure from
his palace in Rabat to a villa in
the International Zone of Tangier.
His going was the first step in
a French plan to meet the de
mands of nationalists in the tur
bulent protectorate.
Anxiety Over President’s
Illness Eased Considerably
By Doctors This Morning
DENVER, (#) — Anxiety over
President Eisenhower’s illness
eased considerably this morning
as physicians reported his condi
tion “showed no changes to in
dicate complications.”
The official report from Fitz
simmons Army Hospital at 9:40
a.m. served to lift tension created
when the doctors announced last
night that Eisenhower was “a
little tired” and not feeling “as
well as usual.”
That bulletin last evening was
the first which failed to say that
the chief executive was progress
ing satisfactorily “without com
plications.”
The doctors have said repeat
edly any complications were most
likely to develop during the first
two weeks after the heart attack
Eisenhower suffered a week ago
last Saturday.
Eisenhower Restored To
Helm of Administration
DENVER, (iP — The signing of
two official documents restored
President Eisenhower to the helm
of his administration Saturday
but the temporary White House
said doctor’s orders will deter
mine how fast the chief executive
can resume additional duties.
As the President’s top assistant,
Sherman Adams, set up shop here
to start paving the way for his
chief to undertake gradually a
greater degree of personal control
of affairs of state.
Dr. Paul Dudley White of Bos
ton, the internationally known
specialist, has said Eisenhower
should remain in the hospital for
a month and prospects are reason
ably good for full recovery within
two months.
Expectations are that the chief
executive may fly back to Gettys
burg, Pa., for further recuperation
at his farm home.

rash of home runs, it could well
be that the 1955 World Series of
baseball will turn on defensive
measures — relief pitching and

5-3 victory over the New York
Yankees in the pivotal fifth game.
Today at Yankee Stadium the
Yanks tied up the series 3-3 when

Eddie Stanky To Manage
Minneapolis Millers, Bill
Rigney to Pilot Dodgers
NEW YORK, —Eddie Stanky,
fiery former St. Louis Cardinal
manager, was hired today by the
New York Giants to manage their
top farm club, the Minneapolis
Millers of the Class AAA Ameri
can Assn.
Stanky, who was ousted as
Cardinal pilot May 28, will suc
ceed Bill Rigney, promoted by the
Giants to manage the big club
after Leo Durocher announced his
withdrawal as manager Sept. 24.
Stanky, 37, reportedly will be
paid $12,500, the highest manag
erial figure in the American Assn.
He still has one year to go on his
St. Louis salary of $42,500, so the
Cardinals will have to pay the
difference of $30,000, it was
learned.
Stanky, a teammate of Rigney’s
on the Giants “miracle” pennant
winning club of 1951, turned
down a chance to be a coach with
the Cincinnati Redlegs because, it
was- said, he wants to be a man
ager.
Government Gives Up
10-Year Court Fight
To Deport Harry Bridges
SAN FRANCISCO UB—'The U.S.
Government, which failed to
prove that Harry Bridges was ev
er a Communist, has given up its
10-year effort to deport the labor
leader.
Lynn Gillard, assistant U.S. at
torney, said Friday that the Jus
tice Dept, at Washington had told
him not to appeal a federal court
decision that favored Bridges.
The government had charged
that Bridges, an Australian, ob
tained citizenship fraudulently at
the time in 1945 when he swore he
was not and had never been a
Communist Party member.
Judge Louis Goodman said at
the end of last summer’s trial that
“my conclusion is that the govern
ment has failed to prove the al
legations of its complaint as to
respondent’s alleged membership
in the Communist Party by clear
and convincing evidence.”
Bridges, 54, is president of the
International Longshoremen’s and
Warehousemen’s Union.

French Postpone
Visit To Moscow
Of Premier Faure
PARIS, UP)—The French foreign
office announced today the pro
posed visit of Premier Edgar
Faure and Foreign Minister An
toine Pinay to Moscow has been
postponed. The announcement
was made after Pinay had re
ceived the charge d’affaires of the
Soviet embassy to give him the
news.
The foreign ministry said that
the French government thought it
preferable to put off the visit to
a later date. The explanation was
that the government considers, in
view of recent events in the
United Nations and the reaction
of French opinion, the atmosphere
is not favorable now for a trip
of this type.
Russia voted with the major
ity last Friday in a 28 to 27
vote in the U.N. General Assem
bly to debate troubles in Algeria.
France insists Algeria is an in
tegral part of France and assem
bly debate about it would be a
violation of the U.N. charter pro
vision barring interference in the
internal affairs of any member
state.
As a result of the vote, the
French government withdrew its
delegation to the assembly, and
also its permanent delegation, but
kept one foot in the U.N. door.
Ex-Dictator Peron
Goes Into Exile
In Paraguay
ASUNCION, Paraguay, (if) —
Juan D. Peron, the toppled Argen
tine dictator, took up residence
in exile here today behind a
guard of police and tommygun
ners.
The weary one-time strongman
was flown here yesterday in a
Paraguayan amphibian plane 13
days after he had taken refuge
aboard a Paraguayan gunboat in '
the River Plate off Buenos Aires.
His departure had been delayed
while Argentine and Paraguayan
officials straightened out the tech
nicalities of his asylum.
The new Argentine government
of provisional president Eduardo
Lonardi obviously hoped Peron
would not tarry long in Paraguay,
just across the Parand and Para
guay rivers from Argentine terri
tory. A communique from Lon
ardi’s regime said it was “con
fident” Paraguay would prevent
Peron from “being an obstacle to
friendly relations” between the
two countries.
Peron’s pilot on the flight was
Cmdr. Cosne Migliori, an Argen
tine who went into exile after an
unsuccessful revolt against Peron
in 1951.
The first greeting the former
president received as he emerged
from the plane was a jeering in
sult from another Argentine exile.
Peron paid no heed, looking
somewhat wan, the deposed dic
tator saluted to right and left and
smiled at the few officials who
greeted him at Camp Grande
military airport. He entered a
black Lincoln automobile for the
nine-mile ride into the city. A few
townspeople were gathered along
the route to watch the procession,
but there were no cheers.
Peron’s “Girl’ Friend
Says She Is Ready To
Join Him In Exile
RIO DE JANIERO, Brazil, L0—
The newspaper O Globo today
quoted the 16-year-old girl friend
of exiled Juan D. Peron as declar
ing, “If he calls me, I will go
anywhere in the world to be at
his side.”
Nelida Haydee Rivas, the school
girl linked with the fallen dic
tator, was interviewed by O
Globo’s Buenos Aires correspond
ent at her parents’ home near
Peron’s weekend hideout in Ol
ivos, a Buenos Aires suburb.
She told the reporter: “I am at
the disposition of my great friend
and benefactor, Peron. If he goes
to Paraguay, as he said in the
letters intercepted by the police,
and if he calls me—wherever it
be—I will go resolutely to make
him happy for the rest of his
life.”
Nelida’s connection with the
former president was discovered
through letters he wrote after he
had taken refuge on a Paraguayan
gunboat in Buenos Aires harbor.
The O Globo correspondent,
Eurilio Duarte, said the girl’s par
ent’s, Jose and Maria Rivas, were
present during the interview.
