In the West Florida State Capital of Tallahassee, the battle against polio was raging in October at a faster Pace than during most summer months of former years. In spite of the fact that shots were given children, the type of disease experienced in Tallahassee attacked mostly adults, particularly middle-aged women. It was not unusual for the small city of Tallahassee to experience a dozen or more new cases of polio each day. One of the interesting things about polio is that the disease seems to attack those in higher income brackets and those who live on a higher level. Its incidence, in oth- er words, rises with the standard of living. Another interesting thing is that polio seems to thrive where other diseases do not make much headway. Where infant mortality is highest, polio is lowest, and vice versa. In primitive countries, with populations of low social economic level, antibodies against polio appear at an ear- lier age than they do in people tivjng in advanced coun- tries, with populations of high sci and economic levels. This was the conclusion of Dr. Thomas M. Rivers, director | of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New | York, speaking recently before a health meeting. These facts show that polio is a greater threat to the | people of the United States than to any other, and.thus the all-out effort of this country’s doctors and scientists to lick infantile paralysis is not a misdirected one, since it This Rock Of Ours | Man Who Was (Cured Of Red Beliefs Dies LAWRENCE, Mass. i) — Fred E. Beal, who served four years | Stalinism Emerges As Power Poliey Under Malenkov Rule By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Foreign News Anslyst Stalinismris coming out of hiding in Moscow. More and more the Kremlin is hewing to the Stalin line, despite outward demonstra- tions to the contrary. It seems to mean that while talking of peace, the Soviet Union is digging in for a long cold war. And here will be no letup in Pressure against areas of least re- sistance, This does not mean a reversal of policy by Premier Georgi Malea- kov’s regime so much as it indi- cates the Kremlin is cautiously reasserting those aspects of Stal- inism which best suit Soviet world designs. In Soviet foreign affairs, this probably will bring concentra- tion on two avenues of operation: | 1, Those areas the official Com- munist line dubs “colonial and de- pendent”"—most of Asia, including Japan, all of Africa and most of Latin America. 2. Communist-controlled organi- zations outside the Soviet borders, such as the World Council of Peace, the World Federation of Trade Unions and various associ- ations Whose members are con- scious or unconscious tools of So- viet foreign policy. Indications are that the honey- moon between the Communist par- ty leadership and the Soviet peo- ple is all but over before it is two years old. The honeymoon be- gan with concessions the nervous regime extended in the days im- mediately following Stalin’s death. Where Stalinism injuted the So- viet Union in the past, it has been repudiated. That permits such things as the determined wooing of | Yugoslavia. It also permits more flexibility in maneuvering, partic- ularly with gestures having the look of an ardent desire for world Peace. But Stalin's words more and more creep into the official party press without quotation marks. An classes of Western nations once were “progressive” in character but changed in the “era of imperi- alism.” Thus, it continues, the mid- dle class became reactionary, lost contact with the people and there- “progressive forces (meaning those | inspired or owned by Communists) are today defending bourgeors | democratic freedoms from the at- tack of imperialist reaction.” Those are originally the words of Stalin, in his last speech. They were directed not to the Soviet party but to the “fraternal” par- ties abroad, at the October 1952 congress of the Soviet Communist party. Then Stalin advised 115 Red ‘leaders from abroad to go back to their countries and be its patriots, to espouse “democratic freedoms.” Stalin — and the Soviet party — had no tender regard for "demo- cratic freedoms,” There were ad- vantages to be had from such a policy, however. It would associ- ate Communists with such free- doms. This association would dam- age such freedoms and thus cause | frictions in such countries as the United States, England and France. The Soviet press emphasizes the “cobonial and dependent’’ coun- tries and their “‘struggle for libera- tion,” Such areas can be a source of irritation to nations of the Western Alliance, and the indica- tions are that Communists will overlook no chance of fostering such irritations, On the home front, Stalin is quo- ted frequently, though not by name on tasks ahead—more competition,” more progressive raising of output quotas for work- ers, more “productivity of labor” in town and farm. Concessions to the people—particularly the pea- sants—appear to have solved little for the Malenkov regime.

The case is being appealed, and therefore details of it will not be entered into here, but it is significant to note some of the circumstances surrounding this case, and to draw from it some conclusions. In the first place, the case is indicative of the pressures under which free men are put — when captured as prisoners — by the Communists. The convicted colonel in this case admitted making propaganda broadcasts, in some cases, but claimed he | did so while half-starved and while fearing for “his life, | and also because he thought the broadcasts would save the lives of other prisoners. It is quite possible that the Communists told him the lives of other prisoners were in danger. i | Despite these hard cireumstances, 11‘olonels and | lieutenant-colonels, on the court martial board, found | that the officer under trial had acted against the best | interests of his country. It is the first verdict ef its kind in | the history of the country, and should serve as notice to | all young Americans in service that penaities on U. S. prisoners of war by the Communists are sometimes not as harsh as those which can be meted out after repatria- tion. | Such cases are always tragic ones, because it is hard | to say what any qne individual would do under extreme | cruelty and torture, but it nevertheless must be kept in | mind that some things are worse than torture, or even | death, and that the price one is sometimes called upon | to pay for his country is sometimes a supreme one. , Here’s an Associated Press dis-1— yet parking is allowed on the patch you might be interested in right hand side.

Maker Of Counterfeit Violins Is Sought In Switzerland By MICHAEL GOLDSMITH ZURICH, Switzerland w—Swiss | police are on the trail of a master | violin maker. They believe he is | making a fortune by turning out |counterfeit 17th and 18th century | violins of fine workmanship. A violin made by Stradivarius may fetch $100,000 among. collect. ors and experts, Similar prices are paid for violins by such other old Italian masters as Giuseppe Gua:- neri . and Amati. family. Fine modern violins, on the other hand, rarely bring more, than $5,000. The unknown forger, actording to the Swiss investigators, has perb forgeries. Criminal charges against two Swiss violin dealers are pending, and the investigators hope to track down the forger be« fore these cases come to trial. | Some 30 modern violins sold as \old Italian masterpieces at fabu- lous prices have been confiscated as evidence. Police believe scores of the forgeries have found their way into Western Europe and the United States, Investigations are seriously hindered by the reluct- ance of violin lovers to admit they | were fooled. | The first counterfeit violin was | discovered accidentally several | years ago by Giovanni Iviglia, sec- | retary general of the Italian Cham- flooded the world market with su: |) Soviets Must Trim Demand On Atom Plan By TOM HOGE UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. @® — The United States says the Soviets will have to trim their demands Peaceful atom pool plan. Russian objections to the pro- Posed pool were presented to the U.N. last week by Soviet Delegate Andrei Y. Vishinsky. He said Moscow would like to take part-~ but on conditions the West so far refused to accept. Chief U.S, Delegate Henry Cabot describes Vishinsky’s speech before the Assembly's main Political Committee as “a magni- ficent display of forensic fireworks but very little substance to them.” Lodge said he would make a de tailed reply early this week. Vishinsky charged the United States and its atomic partners re- duced the original Eisenhower pro- posal to a mefe shell by 1. Trying to set up an interna- tional atomic agency independent of the Security Council. The So- viets want the body subject to the council, in which they have a veto. 2. Attempting to make the agency a clearing house for mov ing fissionable materials from one land to another. The Russian dele gate branded this an infringement of national sovereignty 3. Sponsoring a resolution which makes no provision for a prior pledge among the nations con- cerned not to use nuclear weapons in the future, Vishinsky added, however, that the Kremli~ would make such a pledge a. condition for joining the agency 4, Failure to reflect the intent of the Eisenhower proposal by not considering methods for prevent- ing use of atomic materials for warlike purposes. In his brief reply, Lodge said nomic and cultural life, that a brief | United States has no objec. tion to the atomic agency keeping liaison with the Security Council —provided the project does not get “bogged down in vetoes.” Commenting on Vishinsky’s call for a ban on atomic weapons, Lodge said the question was up to the Disarmament Commission and had no place in the Elisen- | hower program. Western diplomats viewed Vish- | insky’s speech as a strategie at- tempt to assess the West's flexi- bility om the atomic question, {called classical period, roughly 1640-1740.
