The Liberty Bell was thrice cast and thrice cracked, says the Na flonal •Geographic Society. Cracked on its first test after arrival from .England in 1752, the famous Philadelphia bell was melted down and recast twice by American bell | founders before a satisfactory tone was achieved. The bell then was j used until 183 S, when it cracked ■ while tolling for the funeral of ■ Chief Justice John Marshall. The , i'rack grew longer when, after attempted repairs, the bell was rung to celebrate Washington’s birth day in 1846.

All four were charged with two felony counts of being accessories to Thompson’s crime of conspiring to advocate revolution and conspiring to harbor a fugitive.

Malenkov submitted the resignation of his.government to the newly convened fourth Supreme Soviet last week in accordance with the Soviet constitution. The parliament accepted the resignation and unanimously asked Malenkov to form a new government. Malenkov presented his government to the Supreme Soviet shortly after it reconvened today. The list was virtually the same as that which has governed the country since Malenkov formed his last government last August. The six deputy chairmen of the council of ministers were reelected.

Fiance has asked for Immediate bombing strikes by Ameri-can-piloted planes on the 40,000 - man Communist force concentratid around the shrinking garrison outpost. Dien Bien Phu looms large in he Indoehina picture because of the possible disastrous effect it night have on French and native norale. If the outpost falls, some experts believe the French governnent may fall with it and start noving to quit the war. Loss of the outpost would free rebel troops dr new attacks farther south.

Assures Parents On ' Polio Vaccinations , _ , <1 Vaccine Developer i Assures Parents NEW YORK, UP—Dr. Jonas E. Salk, developer of the vaccine now S being used to’ innoculate a million < youngsters against polio, assured ( parent.-* Monday might the nptss medical experiment would not endanger their children. ' v professor of bacteriology t at the University of Pittsburgh school of medicine, spoke on the Columbia Broadcasting system’s rrdio show. "The Scientist Speaks Cor Himself." Salk said that in a preliminpry test to the gigantic mass innoculation which got underway Monkday, some 7.500 children were treated with the vaccine with no adverse effects—not even a case of hives. "We are certain of the scientific basis and the solid foundation of experimentation upon which” the innoculations are based, he said. "Those who feel that every possible safeguard has’ not been taken are being unreasonably suspicious," the scientist said. "Greater precautions have been taken in the manufacture and testing of < this vaccine than are necessary.”’ In the test started Monday, the

biggest experiment in medical history, two million children will be Involved. Half will get the Salk vaccine: the other half will com-p-use a control group. A study of reports on polio cases among the group is expected to disclose in about a year exactly how effective is the Salk solution. Says Secrecy About H-Bomb Pointless Defends Advisors Who Opposed Bomb SOUTH BEND, Ind. UP — An atomic scientist warned Monday night it is a “serious error” to drive from public service “sensitive personalities” engaged in radiation projects. Dr. Milton Burton, director of the radiation project at the University of Notre Dame, did not refer to Dr. Robert Oppenheimer by name. But he defended presidential advisors who opposed the development of the H-bomb as men of “the highest scientific achievement and sincerest patriotism." “It is a serious error in a democracy,” he said, “to criticize advisors and policy maker#’ after the event exclusively on a basis of morality, loyalty and good faith. “By such procedure we may guarantee that our best .men, frequently our most sensitive personalities. will be driven entirely out of public service.” Burton spoke at a meeting of Notre Dame alumni. He said no harm was caused by an 18-month delay in initiating the hydrogen bomb project. Burton said secrecy about the H-bomb was largely “pointless.” “An ybo with Rudimentary knowledge of nuclear physics can speculate about fusion reactions.” he said. “All he has to do is look at a text book or examine some tables of data on the masses of nuclei,” then use his imagination and "high school” arithmetic to “calculate what combinations of elements might conceivably give a fusion bomb." Burton said we shouldn’t be unduly pessimistic. “A half-dzen nations today possess or can shortly possess the means of destruction of all of qs,” he said. “Perhaps the impetus given by this horrible fact may make all nations more cautious in their threats, more humane in their imperialism, more wise in theiV selection of goals.” Women pictured on U.S. postage stamps include Jane Addams, Louisa M. Alcott, Susan B. Anthony, Clara Barton, Carrie C. Catt. Virginia Dare, Queen Isabella, Juliette Low. Moina Michael.
