The Bev. Dean Greer McKee will present the degrees, and the Bev. Heo'ge Evane Dawkins, pastor ot the First Baptist Peddie Memorial church In Newark, N J., will deliver the commencement address on the topic "Pure Religion." o Polio Preparedness Conference Friday Indianapolis, Muy 21 (I'P)— Governor Gates will lie the principal speaker Friday at a polio preparedness conference to lie held under tlie sponsorship of the state board of health and the national found *'.i..’i for Infantile paralysis. Betty llalinka, state representative of the national foundation, said the conference was being held to determine and evaluate hospital facilities and trained personel i available in the event of an out-1 break of infantile paralysis during the hot ’’polio'* months now approaching. "Tlie meeting doesn't necessarily mean we expect an epidemic In Indiana." Mies Malinka said. "No one can predict a poll > epidemic. We intend being ready just in case.” 0 MOTHER TRUMAN K.oillnuril from I'nae I) ton. As the President's mother started Her night’s sleep early last evening, the White House doctor. Brig. Gen. Wallace Graham, reported that she made an unex- ( pected rally during the late afternoon. Her temperature last night was normal but her heart still was very weak and tired, although ; stronger than it had been earlier I in the day.

>| This news was quickly communicated to the President who had left the cottage at dusk somewhat discouraged. When the President went to the hotel late yesterday for a quiet dinner and early bedtime, he told - reporters: , “She's just about the snme--a ) little weaker If anything. She did . not have a very good day, but she ■ was comfortable when I left." I Two hours later. Graham re- ' ported the rally. But no one in i the presidential party would say ' that the brief rise represented any basic improvement In. her grave condition. Press secretary Charles 0. Ross told reporters "there is much fight in her . . . and much determination." He said that during the early evening hours before she dropped off to sleep. Mrs. Truman appar ently felt better “than she has in the last three or four days." Meantime, Mr. Truman showed plainly the strain he has been under since he flew here last Saturday after receiving word that his mother, recrtperatlng from a broken hip suffered last winter, had slumped badly. The President, as he moved between Grandview and his temporary quarters in Kansas City, looked pale and tired. When he talked with anyone, his voice was low and serious. He made no plans for returning to Washington until there is a material change in his mother's condition. Tentative plans were made for the President to sign the GreekTurkish aid bill in his hotel suite early tomorrow morning. At that time, he will make a brief statement which is expected to underline what has become known as the "Truman doctrine.” Meantime, the President — between <hats with his mother who doted frequently during thh day — attempted as best he could to keep up with the vast volume of paver work always awaiting him. When he was not in the bedroom with his mother, he worked quietly In
