Warns Public Apathy Polio's Best Friend INDIANAPOLIS (UPD An official of the Indiana State Board of Health warned today that “polio is not licked and unless the proper action is taken, it never will be.” Dr. A. L. Marshall Jr., director of the Division of Communicable Disease Control, said public apathy is polio’s best friend. Writing in the current issue of the Board of Healths monthly bulletin. Marshall said the old adage of “out of sight-out of mind” is particularly applicable to polio. During peak years of polio, before the discovery of the Salk vaccine, “there was a cry and prayer for a vaccine to protect us from the killing and crippling disease,” Marshall said. “Today vaccine is plentiful, manufacturers have slowed their production or are selling their i

I vaccine to foreign buyers because the folks at home are not using lit." Marshall’s warning came on the Wheels of a mild polio outbreak in the Calumet area. Thirteen Lake 'County residents have contracted -I the illness and three have died 1 thus far this year. ■ Marshall said physicians long ; ago realised, that polio “is as common a disease as measles, mumps or chickenpox." “Everyone during his lifetime was exposed to polio and was infected,” he said. “Those having ■ the most severe cases were the I unfortunates who were paralyzed or died. The milder cases have , been classified as non - paralytic cases because patients either exbited no paralysis or made complete recovery.” Marshall said the limited use of the Salk vaccine demonstrates that it is better than 85 per cent effective. He warned that the disease is more hazardous during adult life than it is during childhood. “As a result in the coming 'years we can expect to see more 'deaths and crippling of adults by ’this disease,” Marshall .said. Marshall said most people would hesitate to drive their cars without insurance protection, yet many are facing the polio season without being immunized. I “Polio is not licked nor will it ever be until more people take the vaccine—and if more people do not take the vaccine we can be sure that we will see ‘polio in the papers’ as a continued epidemic threat," Marshall predicted.
At Least 10 Killed In Indiana Traffic ■ United Press International Indiana went through the first 18 hours of the weekend without a single traffic fatality, but a rath of accidents late Saturday and Sunday sent the death toll sqring to at least 10. Each of the accidents involved a single Vehicle. Strangely, there were no collisions. A one - car crash late Sunday killed Carl Keller, 46, Bluffton, when a car in which he was riding skidded on Ind. 116 southeast of Bluffton and overturned in a ditch full of water. Three members of a Louisville, Ky., family, including two young children, were killed in a one-car crash -south of Shelbyville Saturday. , The victims were Mrs. Shirley Bolin, 23, her son, William, 3, and her son year -old Danny Jones. Danny was the son of a serviceman stationed overseas. His father had never seen him. Six other persons were injured in the accident, including Danny's mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, 25, and her two other children. The crash occurred when a car driven by Oscar Bolin missed a curve on Ind. 9 and struck a tree. A freak accident Sunday killed Paul E. Martin, 29, Loogootee, when he jumped from his stalled car on U.S. 50 west of Loogootee just as the vehicle was struck by another car. Martin leaped into the path of a third vehicle. A car-pedestrian accident killed Dennis Gist, 5, Kokomo, Saturday when he darted in front of an auto on U.S. 31 near his home. John Grover Phillips, 62, Attica, was killed Saturday when an old-model car backed over him in Attica. City Police said Dean Hanthors, 21, Attica, stopped to let Phillips out of his car when the engine stalled and the vehicle rolled backwards over Phillips. Other weekend fatalities included an Indianapolis bus driver, a Decatur teenager, and an Indianapolis truck driver. Delaskie Reeves, 41, Indianapolis, was killed when his car hit a tree along a Lebanon street. A motorcycle accident killed David Myers, 17, Decatur. Myers’ cycle went out of control on a curve south of Decatur and hit a tree. Freddy L. Dean. 30, Indianapolis, was killed and his wife injured seriously when their truck skidded and overturned on U.S 52 in Clinton County south of Lebanon. 15CENT ~ Continued from page one school units next year.

GORED BULLFIGHTER IMPROVES -Famed Spanish bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin lies helpless (bottom) after he w,.s gored by a bull in Valencia, Spain. He was competing with his brother-in-law Antonio Ordonez, for recognition as the world’s leading “torero.” At top, Dominguin is comforted by his wife, Lucia, at a hospital in Madrid. Close family friends predicted that “barring complications,” the internationallyfamed bullfighter would return to the ring in about a month.
Many State Budgets i At All-Time Highs WASHINGTON (UPD — State legislatures reached into taxpayers’ wallets for hundreds of millions of dollars this year to keep state bank accounts in the black and finance record budgets. Lawmakers in almost all of the 46 states with legislatures meeting in 1959 have approved or still must approve budgets at an all time high. In some cases, they found that the tax take from economic growth or the bounceback from the 1958 recession would cover the increased drain . .on...lhe....ixeasuxy-.’^..- w .w-^ w -..-^.-.... But in many other states, the legislatures glumly agreed that they had to raise taxes. Some tried new tax gimmicks but most of them simply raised income taxes, sales taxes or excises on liquor, beer and tobacco. New York, North Carolina. Oklahoma, South Carolina and Utah joined the federal government and about a dozen other states which impose withholding taxes on paychecks to help insure collection of income taxes. Idaho levied a $lO head tax on each income tax return filed. Four Tax Lodging Colorado, Ohio, Maine and Utah put a tax on hotel and motel bills. Nebraska levied a new tax on pari-mutuel betting. The heretofore dry state of Oklahoma legalized liquor, and the Legislature promptly taxed it $2.40 a gallon to yield an estimated $3,500,000 a year. Cigarette smokers were a favored target in die search for new revenue. Os states which increased cigarette taxes this year, lowa and Wyoming went to 4 cents a pack; Idaho, New York, Ohio, South Carolina and South Dakota to 5 cents; Minnesota 5*4: 'Pennsylvania and Washington, 6; jand Vermont 7 cents. According to the Tobacco Institute, 25 states now collect cigarette taxes of 5 cents or more per package on top of the 8-cent federal tax. California started this year with a 3-cent tax. j In Minnesota, the Legislature jboldly approved a slight increase in the beer tax. which had been untouchable for 25 years. Although it balked at a withholding tax, it also raised taxes on personal and corporate income, liquor, cigarettes and other tax sources as part of a 45-million-i dollar tax package. | States with six - figure tax in- ' crease packages this year included: Ohio. 275 million dollars; ’New York. 273 million; California, 222 million; Illinois, 135 million, and Washington, 112 million dollars. In the crisis - ridden state of Michigan, the Legislature appears to be moving toward a sales tax increase from 3 to 4 or 5 per cent with an exemption for food if it Igoes to 5. Action along this line would kill off Gov. G. Mennen Williams’ proposal for a new state income tax as part of his 140-million-dollar tax plan. Gas Largely Untouched After the recent rash of state gasoline tax increases, fewer states reached for the motorist this year. Among those which did were New York with a gas tax increase from 4 to 6 cents a gallon; Ohio from 5 to 7, and New Hampshire and West Virginia from 6 to 7. Several governors presumed to have national political ambitions ’ as candidates or kingmakers had to wrestle with record-breaking I budgets and sizeable tax proI grams this year. Beside Williams I
and California Gov. Edmund C. Brown on the Democratic side, they included Republican Govs. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York and William G. Stratton of Illinois and Democratic Gov. Michael V. DiSale of Ohio. A Democratic exception was Gov. George Dootoeg of Kansas, who recommended a small reduction from last year’s budget and cutting the sales tax from 2*4 to 2 per cent. The GOP Legislature refused to make the tax reduction and made some increases in the Docking budget but left it still $2,500,000 below the total for last year. In an order delaying new state construction in Illinois, Stratton had Michigan in mind when he roll.” ‘ 1 ' ¥ •’ • nt.* •' I ’■ fl I ■' '' yjp . • w l I ' •* r *' ' z < MKnMMae&<SSß3w*t*toOvß&i*.t.. .-a-.aaom. . .4 DOCTOR'S GIRL HELD — Carol Tregoff, 22, weeps dejectedly in jail in West Covina, Calif, handcuffed to the wall after being fingerprinted.

Bob Rosburg Is Winner Os PGA Tourney MINNEAPOLIS <UPD — Bob Rosburg, the new PGA champion who finally won “the big one I’ve been looking for,” wasn't sure today whether his triumph came on merit or “little Jerry’s mistakes.” Little Jerry is the 43-year-old, five-foot, five-inch, 138-pound Jerry Barber, who blew the PGA championship Sunday when he bogeyed the last two holes. “I gave the tournament away,” Barber said. “When I put my approaches on the last two holes in sand traps, I blew it.” But he didn’t* take anything away from the bespectacled Rosburg, who with three children, ages eight, seven and six, wanted to win “a big one” in the hope he will get a good job with a golf club so he will be abletospend club so he will be able to spend more time at home, rather than travel the tournament golfing trail. “When you shoot a 66 like Bob did, you deserve to win,” Barber said. "But when it looked like I had frosting on the cake going to the 17th hole, it turned out to be only dough.” Started 6 Strokes Behind Rosburg, who has been making his living playing golf since he turned professional in 1953, was hit six strokes behind the leading Barber going into Sunday's final round. But that four-under-par 66 gave him a 72-hole total of 277, one stroke better than Barber and Doug Sanders. Sanders, one stroke behind Barber going into the final round, carded a two-over-par 72 for the second place tie. Defending champion Dow Finwald was fourth at 280. He shot a fourth round par 70. Tied for fifth at 281 were the favored Mike Souchak, whose putter failed him again. Bob Goalby and Ken Venturi. Next at 282 came Sammy Snead and Cary Middlecoff. Souchak come in with a two-over-par 74 and. with only six players left in the field, there were only three golfers in the running — Rosburg, Barber and Sanders. . \ Sanders, who was in the tournament on a pass, shot a finalround 72. He lost his chance when he three-putted from 22 feet on the 17th hole. Souchak went out of the runmng when he bogeyed three of the first four holes. Closed Gap Early At the nine hole turn, Rosburg had picked up those six strokes on Barber by going out in 30 against little Jerry's 36. So going to the 10th Rosburg and Barber were all even. Rosburg Was in the clubhouse when he heard that Barber had parted the 16th. It looked like Tiny Jerry was home free. He needed only two pars to win. But he took two bogeys instead. Reminded that he stil won $31,562.50, Barber remarked: “Well, that will buy a lot of groceries. But to hell with those groceries — I like money, who doesn’t?—but I wanted to win for more than money. Rosburg’s victory was worth $8,250, giving him a total money winning purse for the year of $26,098. Back of Snead and Middlecoff came Gene Littler at 284. Doug Ford, Porky Oliver and Billy Maxwell were at 285 with Arnold Palmer, Paul Harney and Tommy Jacobs at 286. Use Crawl Space For Storage In New Home Many builders have found that ample crawl space is an important feature in modern ranch and multilevel homes. Most homeowners are using this space as an auxiliary storage space for seasonal clothes, blankets and other bulky items that often fill closets to capacity. There is often excessive moisture in a crawl space, but this problem can be eliminated by hanging a bag of calcium chloride which can be obtained at any hardware store, from a nail or hook. A galvanized steel pail should be placed under the calcium chloride to catch the water that drips down from the home-made de-humidifier. The pail should be checked and emptied regularly. Any clothing, bedding or magazines that are to be stored in a crawl space should be kept in containers that resist moisture and fire. Standard galvanized steel garbage cans are ideal for storage purposes because their durable zinc finish and close-fitting covers protect the contents. Safety officials state that items stored in paper boxes or stacked in the open constitute a serious community fire hazard. To keep the crawl space order-, ly, the contents of each container should be marked clearly on a label. This will save valuable time and effort when it comes times to locate certain items. It will also prevent the crawl space from becoming cluttered.
