Stevenson Says Nation’s
Resources Have Been
Turned to Selfish Interests
ELKINS, W. Va„ lift—Adlai E.
Stevenson said yesterday that un
der the Eisenhower Administra
tion the country’s national re
sources “have been invaded and
turned to selfish private pur
poses."
The Democratic presidential
nominee complained of what he
called the “shunting aside of men
who are experienced and trained
in a life-time of conservation work
in favor of political appointees."
Stevenson made these criticisms
as he bid for West Virginia’s eight
electoral votes in an otherwise
non-political speech drafted for
delivery at the Mountain State
Forest Festival.
Stevenson did not mention any
names at Elkins in referring to
the shunting aside of trained con
servationists, but his press staff
said he referred to the dropping
of Albert M. Day as director of
the Fish and Wildlife Service by
former Secy, of Interior McKay.
The staff said three assistant
directors and the chief counsel of
that service were removed from
civil service status and their posts
made subject to political ap
pointment.
Polio Cases in 1956
Will Be About Half
Number in 1955
WASHINGTON, W*—There were
655 new polio cases reported by
47 states last week. No report was
received from Rhode Island.
The total is 110 less than all the
states reported in the week ended
Sept. 22, and a Public Health Ser
vice spokesman said yesterday,
“We can expect a continuous de
cline now.”
The spokesman also said pres
ent indications are that the 1B56
total of cases will be about half
the 1955 number.
Last week’s total of 655 com
pared with 1,259 in the compar
able 1955 week.
Up thru Sept. 29 there had been
12,153 cases this year, compared
with 23,010 a year ago.
For this disease year, which
started April 1, there had been
11,01*6 as compared with 21,947
for the 1955 span.
The totals for the states did not
include one paralytic case report

Iceland Wants
U.S. Specialists
To Maintain Bases
WASHINGTON, lift— Iceland’s
Foreign Minister Emil Jonsson
said yesterday his country wants
American troops withdrawn but
perhaps “some specialists” could
help maintain a big air base
which western countries believe
essential to Atlantic Pact defense.
Jonsson made this comment at
a news conference just before re
turning to Iceland after two days
of confidential talks with State
Department officials led by Sec
retary Dulles.
“It is now, as always before,”
he said, “the traditional policy of
Iceland to avoid the stationing of
armed forces in Iceland.”
He stressed, however, that his
government and people "sincere
ly wish to participate,” as before,
as full members of the 15-nation
Atlantic Pact.
Jonsson flew here from Rey
kjavik Sunday to talk with Dulles
in line with a March 29 resolu
tion by Iceland’s Parliament
which cal ltd for immediate nego
tiations to arrange withdrawal of
4,000 American troops who have
been operating the air base at
Keflavik since December 1951.
After those talks wound up
Wednesday, American authorities
were moderately hopeful that
some sort of compromise could be
worked out to keep the air base
in operation as a sentinel against
possible surprise attack.
