On Power Project
.WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 (VP) —President Eisenhower today gave New York state final authority
to join with Canada in constructing a 600 million dollar St. Lawrence river power project that will
produce more than 12 billion'kilowatt hours of energy a year.
The controversial St. Lawrence Seaway is not involved, directly at least, in the power project.
Eisenhower, through the signing’ of an executive order, designated the New York' State Power
Authority as -the American partner with Canada in the power deve
Polio Virus
'Captu red 7
In Photos
POCONO MANOR, Fa., Nov. 5
(A*) —The polio virus, has been cap
tured in photographs' taken by
powerful microscope, it was an
nounced tonight.
The pictures show the virus as
tiny' round ball, so small that a
million side by side would form
a row only an inch long.
Some of the viruses appear sin
gly, others in clusters resembling
fish eggs.
Dr. A. R. Taylor, research virol
ogist of Parke, Davis & Co. De
troit, showed the pictures to the
Electron Microscope Society of
America. They -&ere taken with
an electron microscope at mag
nifications up to 200,000 to 300,-
000 times.
The historic pictures confirm es
timates that the polio virus is one
of the smallest of all viruses.
They were taken during studies
which indicate it is feasible to
prepare concentrated virus prep
arations necessary in -making a
polio vaccine, Dr. Taylor said.
The Detroit company is workr
ing to develop a vaccine,, but has
not disclosed any details. It has
said a vaccine would not be ready
for general use until after more
development and testing, which
may take a year or more. i
Recently developed techniques
of growing polio virus in test
tubes . upon non-nervous tissue
made it possible to obtain almost
pure polio virus, and pictures of
it.
Dr. Taylor showed photographs
of Type I or Brunhilde polio virus.
All three types of virus which
can cause polio in humans are
being studied by Parke-Davis. I
'Air Ras’d' Shows Flaws
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 (^R) —
President Eisenhower went un
scathed in a mock air attack on
the nation’s capital today, but the
possible fate of top military lead
ers—at least in theory—riggeredl
sqme chills. I
At 10 a.m. the eerie rise-and-fall
wail of more than 100 sirens sent
the President and Mrs. Eisenhow
er hurrying to the secret million
dollar bomb shelter buried some
where in the White House
grounds.
For 18 minutes, the President
and his first lady remained there,
snugly protected against the rain
of mythical bombs falling bn the
city.
But while the chief executive

It is Canada’s position that if
Congress again refuses to permit
the United States to join in build

it itself, on its own side of the
river.
Meat Rationing
in Britain to End
LONDON, Nov. 5 OP) The
British meat industry will be
handed back to private traders
next summer and the nation's
15 years of food rationing will
end simultaneously.
Prime minister Churchill's
government announced this to
day. It said also that price con
trol and allocations of meal and
bacon ■ will be wiped away.
When rationing ends, meat
traders will be able to resume
their prewar business opera
tions and the farmers will be
given price guarantees, it said.

onstrated that some of the nation’s
key military leaders in the Pen
tagon—and much of the legisla
tive machinery of Congres s—
might have been wiped out in a
real attack.
| At the Pentagon, Secretary of
Defense Wilson and other high
officials went to Air Force com
mand headquarters, two floors
underground, where actual bomb
destruction of the building might
have entombed all of them.
On Capitol Hill, the alert was
generally ignored in the Senate
and House wings and in the near
by congressional office buildings.
“We are exempt,” one Capitol
official explained. He apparently
meant Capitol Hill was exempt
frorn the drill, not from bombs.

Eden Wants
Conference
With, Reds
LONDON, Nov. 5 (/P) —Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden said to
day Britain will seek talks with
the Soviet Union at any level de
spite what he called Russia’s
“fundamental hostility to; the
Western nations.”
In a review of world affairs,
Eden told the House of Commons
there has been “some relaxation”
of Soviet tension with the free
world since Stalin’s death.”
This 'is encouraging as far as it
goes, he said.
Eden asserted the latest Russian
note,,.a 4500-word document de
livered yesterday, absolutely
turned down the Western Big
Three’ offer of foreign ministers’
talks with the Russians on Ger
many and Austria.
He said the Soviet reply laid
down unacceptable pre-conditions
which would “destroy all our de
fensive arrangements altogether.”
“Despite this setback and this
note,” he said, “we, for our part
remain prepared to discuss Ger
many and Austria with the Soviet
government at any time and at
any place and without any prior
conditions at all.”
In Washington, U.S. officials
who have been studying Russia’s
new note suggested privately that
it marks the end of a brief but
hopeful era in East-West relations
that began with Stalin’s death.

2 Killed , 15 Wounded
In Trieste Shooting
TRIESTE, Nov. 5 (TP) —Pro-Italian demonstrations got out of hand
in this disputed city today and territorial police, shooting to break
up a riotous, hostile crowd, killed twb persons and wounded 15.
Scores of other demonstrators and police were injured in other
battling around the strategic port,
ritory’s Zone A that Britain andi
the United States proposed Oct.
1 8 to turn back to Italian admin- j
listration. About three dozen were'
hospitalized.
I The shooting came in late af
ternoon near the Roman Catholic
church of-St. Anthony in down
town Trieste. A priest was recon
secrating the church because of
blood spilled in it during a wild
melee between students and po
lice earlier in the day.
As hundreds of students crowd
ed around the church for the cere
mony, a riot police jeep moved i
into the throng. Students began
hurling paving blocks and sticks
at the occupants.
• Witnesses said the police tried
to fight free of the crowd, but
failed. Before the fight ended it
was estimated 1000 demonstrators,
all apparently students, and 200
police were involved.
The crowd smashed several po
lice jeeps and trucks. The police
used fire hoses in a vain attempt
to break up the riot, then opened
fire. A youth of 17 and an elderly
man were killed. Trucks bearing
armed United States and British
troops moved toward the center
of the city.
It is the first time they have
been called out -during the two
days of demonstrations and riot
ing, touched off by a celebration
of the 35th anniversary yesterday
of Italy’s victory in World War I.

Radar Spy
Evidence
Is Revealed
NEW YORK, Nov. 5 (TP) —Sen.
Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis)
claimed evidence today that a for
mer engineer in the top secret
field of Army radar “is a mem
ber of the Communist under
ground today.”
And he added that a second
witness before his spy-pr.obing
Senate subcommittee—a woman
—had without question “engaged
in espionage in the Signal Corps
at Fort Monmouth, N.J.”
McCarthy did not name either
of the witnesses in his talks with
reporters o'utside the hearing room
of his Senate permanent investi
gations subcommittee. Press and
public are barred from the closed
hearings.
He claimed the engineer re
i fused to tell the subcommittee
j whether he is a spy or whether
he ever stole radar secrets. Mc-
Carthy added:
“We have evidence that he is a
member of the Communist under
ground today and that he was
part of the Rosenberg spy ring
which delivered material to Com
munist agents . . .
“Evidence before this subcom
mittee clearly indicates that peo
ple labeled as part of the Rosen
berg spy ring are still walking
the streets free.”
The senator said the engineer
worked on radar material in the
Federal Telecommunications Lab
oratories, a subsidiary of Interna
tional Telephone and Telegraph
Co., and said they “are doing 100
per cent government work.”
