White House Clinic Has Two Flu Shots No Present Plans To Vaccinate Ike WASHINGTON (UP) — The White House says it has two cubic centimeters of the new Asiatic flu vaccines—enough for two shots. But White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said Monday that so far as he knew there was “no proposal" to vaccinate President Eisenhower before he goes to Newport, R.1., for his vacation later this month. Hagerty’s announcement followed a United Press report that the new Asiatic flu vaccine—released for the first time to the public Monday—had been avaii--1 able for some time to top admini istration officials. Pressed for comment, Hagerty said: “We have a small amount | here, and we have no plans to use it at the present time.” Minutes later, after checking with medical authorities, Hagerty said the White House clinic was in possession of two cubic centimeters. 1 He said he assumed the vaccine . had been sent to the White House “by manufacturers” for Interior Secretary Fred _A. Seaton. Seaton is bound forthe Far East where the highly contagious disease has reached epidemic proportions. But the secretary decided not to take the inoculation and Hagerty said there were no plans for using it on other top officials. Surgeon General Leroy E. Burney released 502,000 doses of the vaccine to the public and armed services. The PHS recommended ' that state and local governments give priority to vaccination of persons who perform essential work. The National Drug Co. of Phila- ’ delphia made the first commercial 1 shipment of the vaccine. It scheduled air shipment of 11,000 vials—enough to treat 55.000 persons—to ■ Boston, Los Angeles, and Dallas, 1 Tex. • Girard Restricted ' To Company's Area Given Restriction Fqr Leaving Camp TOKYO (UP) — The Army today restricted Specialist 3C- William S. Girard to his company area for 14 days for leaving camp and going to a Japanese village bar. Military authorities also announced that Girard, of Ottawa, 111., would be transferred Wednesday from Camp Whittington where be is now stationed to nearby j Camp Drew for “administrative reasons." Girard faces his first session in a Japanese court Aug. 26 on charges of shooting and killing a Japanese woman on a U.S. firing range. The young soldier had been restricted to Camp Whittington but was allowed free movement within the camp. On the night of Aug. 5, however, he left the camp with some friends and went to a bar in hte nearby village of Mishiri. For this, the camp commander restricted him to his company area from Aug. 12 to 23. The Army said Girard “has indicated” he would not appeal the punishment. Girard, now a member of the Ist Cavalry Division, will be assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company at Camp Drew. The Army said the move was made “for administrative reasons in connection with the phasing down (withdrawal) of the Ist Cavalry Division in Japan and has no effect on Girard’s availability to Japanese authorities in connection wth the trial. Camp- Drew is about 60 miles north of Tokyo and about 10 miles northeast of Girard’s old camp, Camp Whittington.

Clark Gable Denies Party Girl's Story First Bombshell At Confidential Trial HOLLYWOOD (UP)—The big- ’ gest batch of dirty linen to date 1 in the Confidential libel trial was > hauled out Monday and it be- I longed to the greatest box office < hero in movie history— Clark Gable. •> , Gable immediately denied from > his Hawaii vacation spot, testimony that he had an affair with a party girl but the frank allegations set off renewed behind-the-scenes maneuvers to keep the ' boudoir lives of the stars out of the trial. Both the prosecution and defense momentarily were expected to pull new tricks out of the legal hat in an attempt to compromise and prevent calling to the stand more than 100 Hollywood luminaries. First of Bombshells The defense has subpenaed celebrities to tell “the truth” about their intimate off-screen lives and the prosecution is striving to circumvent the testimony. The naming of Gable and a girl- ; about-Hollywood as a cozy twosome having an affair while the girl, sloe-eyed Francesca De Scaffa, ferreted out intimate details of Gable's first marriage was the first of the expected bombshells to fall in what could be filmland’s spiciest production. However, Gable vacationing in Hawaii with his wife denied the testimony that he had an affair with Miss De Scaffa and revealed to her spicy tidbits about his first wife, drama coach Josephine Dillon. He told United Press, “To my knowledge I never met the young lady." Desl Areas Named Cuban band leader Desi Arnaz. the husband of Lucille Ball of “I Love Lucy” fame, was the second celebrity to be involved in embarrassing testimony. The actor-musi-cian was linked with a Hollywood call girl. It was what the prosecution had been Moping would not happen. The prosecution, with widespread support from many segments of the movie industry, originally had sought to block the trial with compromise offer to“the defense — only to have Superior Judge Herbert V. Walker announce that there would be “no deals” in his court. The court has under advisement , a defense brief calling for dismissal of the case on grounds the conspiracy to commit criminal libel—if true —was nationwide and does not fall under the jurisdiction of a California court. Mamie Eisenhower Reported Improving WASHINGTON (UP) — Mrs. Eisenhower has recovered sufficiently from her operation to walk unassisted. The White House said the First Lady walked around her room at Walter Reed Army Hospital several times Monday and into its sun parlor. WILSON ORDERS 'Continued from Page Oat) meet costs before the final government payments are received. Economy Order to Contractors A spokesman said the department currently has paid out about four billion dollars on outstanding progress payments. On that amount, the new, lower rate would have meant a saving in current Defense Department spending—but not in long-run expenses—of about 264 million dollars, he said.

Foetal: Backers of the postal increase bill forecast passage in the House. But chances of getting ' the bill through the Senate this year appeared slim.
