THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Friday, May 21, 1954 Coalition Party Takes Over Control Of Irish Government By TOM OCHILTREE DUBLIN, Ireland m—Associates of John A. Costello said today the coalition leader will give top pri- stity to improvement and mod- anization of Irish agriculture when he takes over as premier. Costello’s control of the govern- * ment was assured last night when final returns from Tuesday’s gen- eral elections gave the group of narties headed by him a majority in the new Dail (Parliament). Out- going Premier Eamon de Valera oneceded that his Fianna Fail ‘Men of Destiny) party had been ‘efeated and the opposition could form a new government. ‘The Dail is scheduled to convene fune 2 to launch the new regime.

The larid E f Eg 4g i tilled only at 60 per LET'S KEEP cent capacity. American economic aid experts have urged the repub- lic to do something about it. With three seats still to be de- cided at a special election next week, Tuesday’s voting gave the parties this representation in the 147-seat Dail: Fianna Fail—64. Independents—5. Coalition parties—75. These in- cluded Fine Gael, 49; Labor, 18; Clann Na Talmhan (Farmers), 5; Clann Na Poblachta (Republi- cans), 3. d Fianna Fail suffered a net loss of only six seats, but it had held only a two-vote control in Parlia- ment. De Valera, 71 and nearly blind, has been a dominant figure in Irish politics for more than a score of years. In that time Costello has been the only man to beat him, and now Costello has done it twice. From 1948 to 1951, Costello was premier of a coalition government that eventually was ousted by the Fianna Fail. In conceding defeat, De Valera stated his party “faced the unpop- CHARLEY He will not hesitale to act in the public interest regardless of how it may affect his political stature.

The cost of food essentials has jumped since the government withdrew the bulk ‘of its food sub- sidies in 1952. Taxes have been in- creased in the face of opposition protests that they were stifling the country’s economy. Unemployment has mounted.

He is a devoted family man, with three sons and two daugh- ters. One son, Declan, also is a member of the Dail.

Session Is On Again Today GENEVA The Ingochina con- ference returned to--¢losed-door session today with the Western Powers determined ‘to find out quickly whether there is chance of an armistice. It is generally conceded that the conference has reached a crucial stage with both the West and the Communists refusing to give that British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden would fly to London Sunday to re- port personally to Prime Minister Churchill, Eden conferred yester- day with both Russia’s Foreign Minister V. M. e prim talks was to break the procedur: deadlock which developed Wednes- day over Red demands that the “resistance governments” of Laos and Cambodia be invited to Gen- eva. The West has opposed the de- mand, France labeled the purport- ed governments “phantom re- gimes” which exist only on paper. French sources said the Commu- nist leaders had agreed to drop their demands for the moment, but this left the two sides as far apart as ever on the question of getting the conflict stopped. The United States was under- stood to feel further talks ane fu- tile, but the American delegation believes France should be the one to decide, when the time comes, to break off negotiations. The French are reluctant to break off talks until they have ex- hausted every possibility because in France.

The French have insisted the problem of Laos and, Cambodia was separate from that of Viet fighting calls for an immediate withdrawal of all Red forces from Laos and Cambodia and a cease- fire in Viet Nam. The Communists, on the other hand, not only are insisting on an armistice in all three Associated States but also for political settle- ment on some issues before the armistice takes effect.

Y. —Sidney Schwartz bought two armadillos from Comfort, Tex., in order. to write a thesis-on their birth habits for a New York University doc- torate.

Suspee Joseph McElroy, identified by the | the FBI as having a police record in Michigan and Indiana for mo- lesting children and young girls, was seized by FBI agents and two Beloit policemen yesterday at a farm near Elwood, Ill., about 50 miles southwest of Chicago. Guy Banister, special agent in charge of the Chicago FBI office, said McElroy would be arrajzned on a charge of violating the Lind- bergh law, which carries a maxi- mum penalty of death. Banister said McElroy lured the girl and her brother into his pickup truck on May 11 by offering them chewing gum. The FBI agent said McElroy stopped the truck several times en route from Beloit to Rockford, Ill, and molested the girl sexually. : The children, who were not identified by Banister, were freed early the next morning in’ Rock- ford and were returned to their parents. Beloit police said the girl had told them she and her brother were playing in a parking lot about half a block from their home when a man approached them and asked if they wanted to go for a ride around the, block. The FBI said the children got into the truck and were driven to Rock- ford, 20 miles away. Banister said McElroy has ad- mitted being in Beloit May 11 and seeing the children. However, the FBI agent said, he has denied kid: naping the children. ; McElroy had obtained employ- ment at a farm near Elwood on Wednesday. On the same day a po- lice officer at Plainfield, near Elwood, telephoned the FBI in Chicago to report seeing a truck which fitted the description of the one driven the kidnaper at Beloit. for a shori No Serious . Reaction Seen From Salk Test CHICAGO (#—Not a single case of serious reaction or death has been reported from among more than 400,000 of the nation’s school children given inoculations of the cps Lepet vaccine, . Robert F. Korns, of the national polio veedine pac uation team, made the first official report on the mass experiment yesterday to the annual convention of the Illinois State Medical So- ciety. _ At the same time, Dr. is Van Riper, medical Pier oe National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, said in New York that the first phase of the nationwide Polio tests is completed and is a success. He said 644,138 children in 44 states have now received the first of a series of three injections, Since the trials started, Dr. Korns said, polio has broken out in Florida, Texas and Michigan and three polio cases have oc- curred among the 644,000 children in the study group. One of the polio cases is that of a first-grade pupil in Florida who is included in the study but who did ‘not receive shots of the vac- cl . The other two cases, onein Michigan and one in Texas, re- ceived either the vaccine or an in- jection of a blank substance of no medical value. Half of the chil- dren in those two states got vac- cine and half got the blank sub- stance, and which substance wa: given will not be disclosed until the final stages of the study. Dr. Korns said a final evaluation of the effectiveness of the Salk vaccine probably will not be possi- ble until next year. Dr. Korns, an Albany (N.Y.) Medical College as- sociate professor, is on leave to the Poliomyelitis Vaccine Evaluation Center at the University of Michi- gan in Ann Arbor, Mich. The eval- uation team is now in its fourth week of observation. Dr. Van Riper said more than half the children already have re- ceived their second shots and the final third inoculation will begin the week of May 31. Preliminary surveys showed, he ime only! failed to continue the series. “This is an unusually fine show cooperation for such a vast project,” Dr. Van Riper said.
