Two Democrats Hit Mrs. Hobby On Salk Vaccine
Washington — (U.P.)- Two Democratic House members demanded today that the President order Mrs. Ovela Culp Hobby to answer congressional charges that she approved the polio vaccination program "without adequate testing" of the vaccine.
The request was contained in a resolution drafted by Rep. Abraham J. Multer (D.-N.Y.). He said he would call for a vote on it at a secret committee meeting today because Mrs. Hobby has turned down three invitations to testify.
"Mrs. Hobby licensed the vaccine without adequate testing and should be brought before the committee to explain her actions." Rep. Vanik told a reporter.
They urged the House Banking committee to request President Eisenhower to direct the secretary of health, education and welfare to appear and "answer all pertinent questions" about the temporarily stalled vaccination program.
Dr. Leonard A. Scheele, U.S. surgeon general, has agreed to appear before the committee for questioning at a public hearing tomorrow. He is head of the Public Health service, an agency of Mrs. Hobby's department.
Rep. Charles A. Vanik (D.-O), whose daughter already has received her first Salk vaccine shot, said he would support Rep. Multer's resolution.
Democrats critical of the handling of the program centered their fire on Mrs. Hobby. They questioned her contention that compulsory controls are not needed to assure fair distribution of the vaccine as well as whether adequate safety controls were established in advance of the mass inoculation.
Kansas City, Kan.—(U.P.)—T h e Democrats will put their 1956 campaign on state-wide telecasts in an effort to swing the vote in traditionally Republican Kansas, Marvin Harder, State Democratic committee chairman, said last night.
State Demos Eye Telecasts
Mr. Harder addressed a Johnson county party rally of 200 persons. He said the next campaign will be concentrated in three congressional districts the Democrats consider marginal.
The labor vote will not be Republican Gov. Fred Hall's simply because he vetoed the right to work bill, Mr. Harder predicted. He said the veto probably would have been overridden if a Democratic House bloc had not supported the governor.
Mrs. Georgia Neese Clark Gray, Topeka, formerly the nation's treasurer, said the party needs only a switch of 10 per cent of the popular vote for a Democratic victory.

Mr. Grother was alone at the time of the wreck. He was the son of a Higginsville used car dealer, police said.

Rich Bequest Fails To Excite Couple
Tacoma, Wash.—(U.P.)—A middle-aged Tacoma couple who inherited $743,918 from a friend refused to be excited about the bequest today and said, "We've lost a dear friend, and we'd sooner have him than the money."
Mr. and Mrs. John J. Donohue were left the money by William G. Stedmond, a former farmer in the area, who died in February.
Donohue, a disabled truck driver
was named of the inherit-
ance yesterday.
'My, isn't that a lot of money,' he commented.
"Mr. Stedmond was our closest friend." Mrs. Donhoeue said. "He told us a few days before he died he was naming in his will, but we thought the estate would just amount to his farm."
Attorneys said taxes will take up about half the estate and the Donohues said they were in no hurry to realize their inheritance
"Mr. Stedmold wouldn't have written to make a fuss," said Mr. Dupeau.
Donohue at one time helped Stedmond operate a 32-acre farm southeast of here. Stedmund, a native of Ireland, came to the United States about 35 years ago. He was a widower without children and the son of wealthy Irish parents.

British officials said Sir.

"We are on the verge of successful conclusion of the treaty," he said. "... I hope that today we will learn the definite time for the arrival of the Big Four Foreign Ministers in Vienna."
Dulles announced early today in Paris he will not come here until the Big Four reach agreement on the treaty—that he will not sit down in an unofficial Big Four Foreign Ministers conference to thresh out the treaty details.
He had already accepted an invitation from Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav M. Molotov to a dinner Saturday night, but now does not plan to come to Vienna until tomorrow—if he comes then. The dealock continues, he might fly direct to the United States.
The Soviets insist that a Bilateral Soviet-Austrian agreement, reached recently in Moscow, should be omitted from the treaty, leaving the original article 35 unchanged in the treaty draft.
