Nixon On First Leg Os 37,000 Mile Tour Vice President And Wife Open Long Trip SAN FRANCISCO UP — Vice President Richard M. Nixon, accompanied by his wife, Pat, left today for Hawaii on the first overseas leg of his 37.000-mile “listening and learning” tour as President Eisenhower’s personal representative. Nixon's tour-engme Constellation left San Francisco Airport at 5:20 a.m. e.s.t. It was due to land at Hickam Field, Hawaii at 3:20 p.m. e.s.t. One x>t the first things Nixon was expected to do after his arrival in Hawaii was to bring the Hawaiian people renewed assurances that the Eisenhower administration is backing their aspirations for statehood. Nixon was prepared to tell Hawaiians that he will exert his personal influence wherever it would help them achieve their goal. Nixon will be in Hawaii until Saturday, when he leaves for New Zealand. The vice president arriyed in San Francisco Tuesday from Washington and immediately plunged into a round of conferences, speeches and personal appearances. He told Californians that the nature of his trip was to bring a message of peace from America to 'the peoples of the Far East. But for Californians, the most significant part of his brief visit was “his emphasis on Republican Party harmony in the state, particularly with U. S. Sen. William F. Knowland. The California senator, who has recently returned from the Far East, accompanied Nixon on the flight out from Washington and gave the vice president what he said was an “effective, complete and concise’’ briefing on that part of the world. However, it was presumed they also discussed the political situation created by the appointment of Earl Warren to the U. S. Supreme Court and the succession of Goodwin J. Knight to the governorship. There had been reports on a “rift" between Nixon and Knowland over control of California’s powerful . delegation to the 1956 GOP convention. Warren, who has been close to Knowland, headed the 1952 delegation. Both men went td some pains to give* assurances that “complete harmony” reigns in\ the state GOP. Nixon also endorsed Knight as GOP candidate in the next gubernatorlal election. department light trucks for Robinson. “I’m sorry I killed the kid,’’ he said.

U. N. To Open Debate Today On Morocco Future Os Morocco Is Scheduled For Debate Before UN UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., UP— The United Nations opens debate today on the future of Morocco at a meeting which the French plan to boycott. French diplomats said they would not attend the political committee meeting because *it would serve no purpose” and added they did not want to dramatize the issue by walking out after debate was under way. I Long and heated debate on the African protectorate of France was imminent, even in the face of the boycott. Discussion Will center on demands of Moroccan nationalists for independence of the country, in which there are important United States air bases. Tension has increased in the Moroccan matter since the August overthrow and exile of Sultan Sidi Mohammed Ben Youssef and his replacement by Sultan Mohammed Ben Arafa. The Asian-African bloc, champions of Moroccan nationalist aspirations. planned today to introduce resolutions calling for: ' 1. An appeal to the internation-' al court of justice for a judgment on the legality of the ouster of the old sultan. 2. U. N. “arbitration” or "good office" efforts in French-Tunisian negotiations. 3. U. N. supervised free elections and the fixing of a date for Moroccan independence.

Medics Disagree On Gamma Globulin Use House Committee Holding Hearings WASHINGTON, UP — Medical authorities still haven't agreed on the best way to distribute limited supplies of gamma globulin to victims and potential victims of infantile paralysis. Dr. Gaylord W. Anderson, director of the University of Minnesota school of public health, made this confession in testimony before congressional investigators. “We are still trying to find a formula for the use of something very precious,” he said. "Time will tell how we're going to use it.” The house-commerce committee is holding hearings on the causes and control of the major diseases attacking the nation’s health. It took dp blindness, diabetes and neurological diseases today. Anderson, in his testimony Tuesday, said gamma globulin supplies have never been large .enough to meet the demands of all the people who think they should get the antipolio serum. <To satisfy everyone who wants gamma globulin “we would have to bleed all the people in the country several times a year,” he said. Gamma globulin is made , fzom human blood. Anderson said under questioning that in his opinion use of the shots in some cases had been “indiscriminate.” But I Dr. W. T. Aufranc of the office j. of defense mobilization (ODM) said there has been little criticism of the globulin distribution “considering the potential emotional impact” involved. tribution of globulin is made ' through state health officers under a plan drawn up by ODMDr. Joseph Stokes, physician in chief of Children’s hospital, Philadelphia. said a series of tests in Sioux City, lowa, has shown that gamma globulin does not prevent polio infection, but does help protect against paralysis fn cases of infection. / Pedestrian Fatally) Injured By Truck TERRE HAUTE, UP — Harlan Price, 81, Terre Haute, died in St. Anthony's Hospital today of injuries sustained when he was hit a truck while walking in Indiana 42 Tuesday.
