Safety of the Balk formula ba* been established beyond qu*e»i«>n After exhaustive laboratory teat*. Dr Salk gave the vaccine to 9.9t0 children in Pittsburgh. In 1954, foltowfog apptoval by tbe vaccine advisory committee of tbe National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, it was given to 440.000 children to many parts of tbe country. This year, some 5,500.000 American children Lave received at least one shot under tue program financed by tbe National Foundation. In tbe manufacture of tbe Salk vaccine, exacting testing requirements fixed by the V. 8. public service are followed from culture of the virus io final packaging of thg vaccine. Finished vaccine is not released for use unil it has been approved by this federal agency. With the demonstration of mass um and with the knowledge of strictest supervision in manufacture, you may rest assured that the vaccine is safe. But this does not mean that your child should be given the shots at any time and under ail circumstances. There are excdMtotti. For example, the polio vaccine should not be given during tbo course of an acute illness of any sort. Nor should it be given to persons with certain symptoms, even ’.bough the Illness may be only minor. Among these "stop’’ signals are fever, sore throat and upset stomach. No member of a household where a case of polio has just been diagnosed should be vaccinated, since most family contacts harbor virus st.this time. If your child needs his tonsils out, your doctor may delay the operation 'until after the polio vaccination — and after the polio season. Haring special circumstances, on which you should consult your doctor, your child can be vaccinated against paralytic polio with no more risk than one assumes In a jmallpox. yacclnadon .or a. typhoid shot. •

Truman Tells Os Refusal Os Bid Influence Tells In Memoirs Os RelatiorrWith Boss Pendergast WASHINGTON (INS) -t Former President Harry 8. Truman disclosed today that be put his foot down in the taxpayers' interest when tbe hue boss Tom Pendergast tried to influence bls letting of contracts as a Missouri judge. Mr. Truman said Pendergast called him tbe ” contraries! man in the state of Missouri” but applauded bis defense of tbe public interest Tbe incident was included in tbe second installment of tbe Truman Memoirs." published today by Life magazine. Tbe memoirs are being published simultaneously by tbe New York Times and the St. Louis Post Dispatch. The article reviews the 71-year-old former-president’s childhood, his military service during World War 1, bis business life and bis early years in politics. He said tbe presidency, with its "intrusion of journalistic curiosity" had resulted in "many, questionable or untrue statements" him. He said he wanted to prevent the spread of further misinformation. Writing of his "happy” years in tbe IL 8. senate, Mr. Truman said: "i recall only two senators with whom 1 would rather not associate and whose word I did not trust.” He did not identify the two. The Democrat, who in April 1945 was catapulted Into the presidency by the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, spoke frankly of his relationship with Boss Pendergast, who later went to prison on income tax fraud charges. Mr. Truman said attacks on that relationship "did not bother me personally, because I had an unblemished record to point to.” He wrote In his memoirs that as presiding Judge of Jackson county, Missouri, he was responsible tor spending some 50 million dollars in county tax funds and bond issues "without one breath of scandal.” Mr. Truman explained that he met Tom Pendergast through Mike Pendergast, brother of the Democratic king pin. Mike's kon, Jim. had served in the 129th field artillery unit with young Truman. Mr. Truman wrote: "when the first contracts were to be let, I got a telephone call from Tom Pendergast saying that he and some of his friends were very anxious to see me about those contracts. "I knew very well what was In the wind, but I went to their, meeting I told them that 1 expected to let the contracts to the lowest bidders, just as I had promised the taxpayers I would do. and that I was setting up a' bi-partisan board of engineers to see that specifications were carried out according to contract, or else the public would not pay for them. "Pendergast turned to the contractors and said, ‘I told you he's the contrarlest man in the state of Missouri.' When the contractors, had left, he said, 'you carry out the agreement you made with the I people of Jackson county.’ And I I never heard anything from him again.” Truman read Incessantly, he recalled, because his doctor had warned him against outdoor play which might crack his eye glasses. He, said that by the time he was 13 or 14 he had read all the books In the Independence library. History was his favorite: ”1 saw that it takes men to make history, or there would be no history. His-

tory does not make tbe man.** It was Mr Truman as president who fired Gen. Douglas MacArthur | as Far East Commander in 1951.. In his memoirs, be made this; pointed reference to what be learn«d from reading history: "J learned of General McClellan.: who traded his leadership for! demagoguery and eventually de-, tied bin commander in chief and was Interested to learn how Presi- ■ dent Lincoln dealt with an insub-, ordinate general. "These lessons were to stand tn* j in good stead year* later, when I was to be confronted with similar problems.” T? He described in detail hi* unfortunate experience as a partner i in a haberdashery business in' Kansas City, which be established 1 with Eddie Jacobson, a World War I companion But be ouußcl the post - wa/ "wringing out" process of treasury secretary Andrew W. Mellon for his failnre. He said Mellon's administration. under President Harding. put farm prices "down to an ali-time low. raised interest rates and ’put labor in its place’.** The haberdashery had a good year in 1921 but closed In 1922. The partners. Mr. Truman recalled. were "hopelessly in debt.” Mr. Truman avoided bankruptcy, paying off his debt over the year*, but Jacobson was forced to take refuge in bankruptcy in 1925. Decatur Dentist Is Convention Alternate INDIANAPOLIS (INSi —Seventeen official representatives of the Indiana state dental association' will attend the annual convention of the American dental association tn San Francisco. 0ct.17-20. Delegate* will be Drs. William E. Barb, Denzii C. Barnhill and Maynard K. Hine, of Indianapolis; Walter A. Crum and J. H. Griswold. of Richmond; Paul H. Asher, of Gary .Frederick C.

Williams, of Lafayette; C. T. Mayfield, of Kokomo; E. A. W. Montgomery, of Evansville; J.. E. Morris, of Decatur, and William T. Smith, of Ham-' mond. PREDICT IKE TO (Continued from Page One) fled in all of them. One of these could happen: 1. Despite continuing satisfactory reports from Denver, Ike might suffer a more severe find fatal attack. This would make Nixon President. 2. Despite these same encouraging reports, Ike might be incapacitated to the point where he would be unable to perform his duties. Under the constitution Nixon would become President. 3. During a temporary incapacitation Ike would name Nixon to carry out his executive powers and functions temporarily. ’ 4. Ike, recovering, would carry On aq usual, but retire at the end -of his present term. Nixon must be the favorite to get the President’s support for the 1955 GOP nomination, because Ike has been training his vice president for the job ever since their inauguration. 5. Or, Ike will recover completely and run again, but only with Nixon as his running mate. •NOTIC'K OF ADMINISTRATION Katate No. 5102 ‘ In the Adams Circuit Court of Adams County, Indiana.
