it makes many a scientist (and non-scientist) nervous. But all the scientific apple carts he upset in the past led finally to the Salk anti-polio vaccine. The question now is, can apple-cart upsetting lead to the conquest of other diseases? Speaking from behind the scientific scene, this reporter is telling you how this man operates. It is of interest because today he embarked on vast new enterprises in public health, and because Dr. Jonas E. Salk himself will tell you gladly that O’Connor is more responsible for the Salk vaccine than Salk. The way O’Connor operates is from the conviction that all enterprises, large or small, must have leadership. Real leadership, not figurehead: leadership which sets goals and directs activities toward the realization of those goals, and meanwhile prevents people from getting bogged down in their disagreements and their special interests. Guided By Facts All this he endeavors to do with a lawyer’s strict reliance bn rooting out the "facts’’ and then being guidedonly by those “facts.” Twenty years ago when he began bis long span as president of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, he set a goal which was the wiping out of polio as a crippling disease. It was an absurd and laughable goal then. The most learned scientists knew just about nothing about polio. In the years since O’Connor has enraged many a scientist by asking. what does that have to do with the goal, Doctor, no matter

how interesting it is as pure science? Or isn't there-a shorter way of getting the same results. Doctor? Or how can we have a vaccine for polio if we don’t know whether the polio virus is ever in the blood stream: Scientists Chuekle This reporter has seen scientists chuckling and shaking their hands, saying: How does a lawyer dare to talk to scientists like that? O’Connor says he has never made a scientific decision which wasn’t thoroughly backed by his scientific advisors. But the scientists who-have over the years they number in the hundreds — have all had to defend their advice against a lawyer’s logic based upon a lawyer’s understanding of facte and goals. No person could be more logical —or more urbane •— in discussion or argument than O'Connor who is now 66 years old, with the grand manners and elegant tailoring of a duke. He is a velvet glove man, but the hand in the glove can be very hard when he can’t make logic prevail and hardness sterns caled for. Beech Grove Infant Is Killed By Auto BEECH GROVE, Ind <UPI) — James Montgomery, 18 months, was killed by an automobile Sunday but his death did not destroy this small city’s 9-year record of no traffic fatalities.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Legion Scout Troop Will Meet Thursday Thursday evening, the American Legion Boy Scout troop 63 will meet at the American Legion home at 7 p.m. A special speaker has been engaged in the person of Chester Martz, of Danville, 111. > He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Martz, of route 6, of this city. His topic will be the use of electronic in manufacturing. He has been employed for the past five years by the Electric Eye Co., of Danville. Prior to that time he completed a course in basic electronics in Chicago, 111. Scouts and veterans are specially invited to attend this meeting, as well as all other interested persons. RUSSIA (Continued from . Pag, one) York police have been guarding his hotel. ■ • Last week Sobolev vetoed an American resolution which would have substituted an armed UN force for the Americans to safeguard the independence of Lebanon. Diplomats said he was almost sure to veto the substitute proposal which waters down the UN forces’ strength. The effect of the Soviet Union’s 85th veto would have on Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev’s proposed summit conference on the Middle East was not clear. But the United Nations itself was prepared to welcome the heads of government to such a high-level conference. Washington and London reports in-dicat ed the allied reply to Khrushchev’s call for a summit meeting would include an invitation to such a summit meeting. UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold. in accepting Khrushchev’s invitation Monday night, also plumped for a UN meeting. “The primary responsibility of the UN in this situation should, in my view, be given the fullest possible application in the arrangements for the conduct of a high-level meeting, were it to come about,” Hammarskjold told Khrushchev. Sobolev, leaning forward in his blue chair, his right hand waving like an orchestra leader, said flatly his delegation "cannot support the draft resolution proposed by the Japanese delegation." Instead he said a summit- conference would be better. MARINES (CantjnuaJ tiom page one) Been Relatively Quiet The Lebanese rebellion was touched Off by opposition leaders who accused Chamoun 'of seeking an ilegal second term. His term expires this fall and in the meantime there were some doubts the Thursday elections would come off as scheduled. The rebels have been comparatively quiet since the landing of U.S. Marines last Tuesday and the American Marines and paratroopers here have not been Involved in major scrapes with the rebel forces. Monday nights firing sounded in the fringe area of the rebelheld Basta area near Riad Solh square and near the city’s racetrack, site of two major rebel areas. It was the second straight night of heavy firing. There were these other major developments in the Middle East: London: Moscow radio stressed the urgency of an immediate summit conference and said “Today a disaster can still be avoided but perhaps tomorrow it cannot.” Beirut: Vice Adm. Charles R. (Cat) Brown, commander of the U.S. 6th Fleet, told newsmen his carrier-based planes would support British action in Jordan if it becomes necessary. Tanks Toward Borders Istanbul: Turkey sent tanks toward the borders of Iraq in new security measures; Premier Adnan Menderes conferred with ( Gen. Fevzi Menguic, chief of I staff, on new defense measures; Iraqi planes were reported on reconnaissance planes near the Turkish frontier. Naples: Twenty American refugees from Iraq arrived aboard the Italian liner Esperia; another group of 30 were flown from Baghdad to Abadan, Iranr en route to Rome. -Cairo: Mohammed-- HassaneinHeikal, editor of the newspaper Al Ahram who is close to Nasser said the Iraqi revolution broke the chain of Western aliances along the borders of the Soviet Union. He said the Baghdad Pact is now I “finished." I Amman: British troops began carrying guns while on off-duty passes. Authorities said the troops took the action in agreement with the Jordanian army. | Jerusalem, Israel: A govern- ' spokesman refused to confirm or deny reports Israel was about to prohibit flights of British and American planes en route to jordan. The reports originated in London; police arrested seven anti-Western Communist demonstrators. Cairo: Masser’s visit to Sheikh Abdulah, ruler of Kuwait, roused speculation that the UAR, would make some move to bring the oilrich area into the Syria-Egyptian union.

Boredom Top Enemy Os U. S. Marines Monotonous Routine In Duty In Lebanon BEIRUT (UPI) - "I only hope ' that people back home are Retting ' it straight and that there isn’t a 1 lot of arm-waving and breast- ( beating about our boys under fire.” The speaker was a young Ma- j rine lieutenant from Tarrytown, N. Y. He is a Princeton graduate 1 who now commands one of the Marine companies stationed in the dock area of downtown Beirut. His company has been subjected to firing from rebel snipers for the past five days. “For pete’s sake, don’t use my name or I’ll get my head chopped off,” he said. “But I think it’s vital that our people get things straight. “This sniping, for example. I can see the headlines, ’Leathernecks under fire for five straight days.’ The facts are that not one of us been hit, and the bullets are going high overhead. “I am convinced they are not trying to hit us. They just like to shoot guns, I think. I saw one guy up on a roof raise his rifle and fire into the air in three different directions. “Os course, it’s not very pleasant to think they could hit you if they wanted, but it sure could

Marines on the beach long ago dug their defenses, and since then about the only break has been a daily dip in the Mediterranean, a few yards away. - Pvt. Donald Knock of Camden, N. J., said, “That water sure is salty, a lot more than the Atlantic, but it feels awful good after sitting out there in the sun.” Next to him was Sgt. James Cabbagestalk, of Pittsburgh.

Non-Farm Workmen Increase in June First Substanitol Increase In Months INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana Employment Security Division reported today that non-farm employment in Hoosierland last month experienced its first substantial increase since last September. Director William C. Staifaker said there was an 8,100 increase in non-farm workers between May 15 and June 15, and a 3,000 decrease in unemployment during the same period. Stalnaker added, however, that an increase in non-farm workers was “not unusual for June.” Nevertheless, he said, the decrease in unemployment was out of the ordinary since unemployment figures usually head upward when schools close and graduates begin looking for jobs. Stalnaker said another indication of an improving labor market was the additional overtime hours put in by production workers and the lengthening of the average work week in manufacturing industries. Weekly hours of factory workers averaged 39.3 in June, an increase of 36 minutes over May, and slightly below the June, 1957, av-
