committee adopted resolutions* deI noiinclng the surrender of Amer-’ I iean soldiers for trial in foreign nations and also drastic slashes in : manpower of the armed forces. ' both approved by the President. The committee demanded modi' ification of two treaties providing I that Americans accused of any ( violations of the criminal laws of ; countries in which they were sta- ; tioned should be tried in the foreign courts and if convicted, should serve their sentences in foreign prisons. • , The resolution said: “The prisons in many of these foreign countries are nothing more than mere dungeons and prisoners are subjected to neglectful if not outright cruel and inhuman treat-1 ment." It also wa» pointed out that cruel and inhuman sentences often are imposed by foreign courts, including the severing of a man's I hand in Morocco. The American principle that a man is innocent until proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt does not apply in many nations, it was said. Concerning the slash in manpower. a resolution said: “In the great struggle in which we are locked, it is imperative that we maintain our national strength, both military and economic, to the end that we can ' win the air war if our attempts at co-existence via the coid~waf~ prove unsuccessful.” The Legionnaires had heard speakers say that Russia is catching up with this nation in air equipment and that the United States is last of the major counI tries in merchant ship construc- , tion. Russia has passed the United States in building cruisers and submarines, it also was stated. SCHEELE SAYS (Continued from Page .One) called “to get some information on the general situation that prevails today" concerning the antipolio vaccine. He said his committee will wait until next week before taking up proposed legislation that the administration clamp federal controls on distribution of the serum. President Eisenhower champions voluntary methods to assure every child in the nation his antl-pdlio shots, but has promised to take whatever governmental action is necessary if voluntary methods fail. Spence said one of the questions to be asked of Seheele concerns remarks attributed to a public health service officer that evidence “points strongly to vaccine as the cause" of 10 polio cases among Idaho children. Dr. Carl Ecklund. chief of the public health service’s virology section In Helena. Mont,, was quoted as saying the dread disease has occurred only in children who had been vaccinated. Up to now. Scheele has maintained ther eis no reason to fear that the 41 confirmed cases of polio among vaccinated youngsters was caused by the serum. Cutter Laboratories, of Berkeley, .Calif., manufactured the vaccine received by 3fi of the polio victims, and Eli Lilly and do., of Indianapolis, produced the serum received by the other five. Scheele * has temporarily banned Cutter from distributing any more of its ' output. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

Two Minor Blazes In City Thursday Prompt action by the city fire department extinguished two minor blaxes Thursday, both of which could have been serious. A trash, fire at the rear of the Mt&r hide and fur company lot was reported yesterday evening and the loeal firemen got it under coti'trol quickly. With the tricky winds blowing, it would have be’ep pnty a matter of minutes before a large shed near the blaxe would have caught fire. The other fire reported was at the ( George Wittgenfeld residence at 564 Mercer avenue. Burning grease was the source of the conflagration, but it was put out before any damage was done. x NINE MEN DIE (Continued from Page One) It was occupied by 55-year-old Raymond Lawson, who was among the victims. One skid row habituate who escaped from the blazing building said there was no alarm system. He refused to give his name. Deputy coroner W. I). Seward went through the firpt floor of the gutted hotel and said It was “no fit place to live." THREE MEN DIE (Continued from Page gutted halt of the North Webster high school gymgasium Thursday night. Fire companies from half a dozen communities rushed to |he battle and prevented the blaze spreading to the adjoining school building.
