Hoosier Counties In Polio Vaccine Test At Least One County Included In Tests INDIANAPOLIS, UP — An Indiana health department official* said Sunday 1 one and perhaps two or three Hoosier counties will be chosen as for testing the effectiveness of a new polio vaccine through mass immunization. t Dr. Albert Marshall told 200 “March o( Dimes” workers meeting here that second grade children in areas chosen by a committee working with the natiohal polio foundation would be given three dtises'of the vaccine with first and third graders acting as a control group. He said the nation-wide immunization test program would start ;ih southern states about February 8, and gradually extend north in the spring and summer, reaching' an estimated 500,000 to 1,000,000 youngsters in all. Marshall said the committee of state health Officers from Ohio, Slew York and Tennessee working with Dr, Hart Van Ryper, medical director of the polio foundation, would pick- the counties, possibly on the basis of the highest incidence of polio in the past five years. • The vaccine would be administered to children whose parents signed a release asking for the dosage, with none given to first and third graders. At the end of the polio season. Incidence of paralysis cases in ; the second grade and non-vaccinated groups would be tabulated to determine the effectiveness of the new Rubstance. If an Indiana county or niore than one we'rd picked, he said, the test program would be carried on in addition to an expanded gamma globulin program for persons who had contact with the disease.. Improved methods of processing whole blood for GG meant a larger amount probably would be allotted Indiana by the office of defense mobilization than was available last year. The vaccine would be given in three doses of one cubic centimeter over a six-week period, he said. Marshall said the committee must study statistics from every county in the country before making its choice of test sites. He said he sent the foundation reports of the incidence df polio in the 4-to-8-year age groups in Indiana for five years, the number of public and parochial schools, and population of counties last week. He said he had no idea when the committee would j announce its decisions. U Democrat Want Ads Bring Results

Savage Battle Reported Anew In Indochina Fanatic Rebels In Attack On Outpost Os Loyalist Troops HANOI, Indochina UP — More 1 than 2,000 screaming Communist rebels attacked a Red River delta outpost in suicide waves and a4 most wiped out the garrison before a French armored column crashed through jungle thickets to save the survivors, it was learned ' today. The Red Viet Minh forces went through withering machine gun fire and butchered loyal defenders of the Gia Loc garrison with bayonets and knives. \ Authoritative sources said the suicide attack took place Saturday night, only three days after the French invited rebel leader Ho Chi Minh to propose terms tp end the 7-year-old war. The authorities said the frantic rebels were identified as elements Os the crack Communist 43rd division, supported by jungle guerrillas. Another Outpost three miles ■ away also was assaulted. Gia Loc garrison is located 37 miles southeast of Hanoi. ' Loyalist planes and artillery helped hold back the rebels' while the armored column rushed to the area from Hal Duong, four miles south of Gai Loc. Only a handful of French Union troops were left when the column reached the scene to relieve the defenders and scatter the screaming rebels. The armored ♦ column yvas delayed by a rebel ambush. Command of Gia Loc. an important communications center, w'ould have given the rebels a major strategic victory in a densely populated area. As the defenders fought, off successive assault waves, U. S.-built French planes hit the rebels with cannon fire and flaming napalm while the artillery followed through with heavy barrages. The fighting flared again after France’s proposals, in answer to a Swedish newspaper interview by Ho, were beamed toward the Communist jungle outposts by radio. France asked Ho to give his views on armistice negotiations after the Red leader told the newspaper Expression he was willing to stop the fighting in Indochina if France would make a proposal respecting the “independence” of Viet Nam.

MpNDAY, DECEMBER 7. 1953

If any of you could see what w» have seen I’m sure you would he even more generous than you have in the past. Can you visualize a family of 8 living in Lwo rooms, neither of the rooms as large as your kitchen. One family for instance has six children besides, the pare tits, who sleep in the same room in two beds. I feel sure that many of you do not believe this, but- there are thirty-five members of the Delta Theta Tau Sorority who can take you to not just one,! but several of these homes, and prove to you that such condiexi«t in Decatur. -- No doubt by this time you are wonderisg and asking yourselves why do we allow these conditions to exist? We don't allow them, but it is just the fact that they are here and what are we going to do übout them? I feej that if all of you were Good Fellows it wouldn't take too long that some of them would really benefit by our donations and not only that, benefit themselves by the realization that they too can become part of qur community. As they are, they do not feel that they are wanted, hnd consequently do not feel as ,you and I, that they should be trying to not op’.y earn their livelihood but mingling with their neighbors. Seemingly as they are now'l they feel that because they need help from the Good Fellows they do not belong with the rest of ug. This' year let us all make them remember that they too are a part of our community, and that we all want them to take active part in our social church affairs and any other activity they may be called upon to perform.'
