Noting the largeness of the fig ures, the Pennsylvania governor explained that various proposals have been advanced for federal and state financing of the project. "But whether it comes from the federal government or the state government, in whole or part, it is the taxpayer who pays,” he said, adding: "As to Pennsylvania taxpayers, we pay to the federal government more than we receive in return.

In their present stations, the spokes man declared, the troops handicap Diem’s efforts to establish a sound administration. The French expeditionary corps, numbering between 70,000 and 80,000 now is based chiefly in the Saigon area, at Tourane in central Viet Nam, and at Cap St. Jacques, on the coast southeast of the capi tal The spokesman said Diem in structed his brother, roving Am bassador Ngo Dinh Luyen, to ask Paris to move the corps to the 17th Parallel or take it out of the country. The 17th Parallel roughly marks the line dividing South Viet Nam and Communist ruled North Viet Nam. The bulk of the French popula tion and holdings in Viet Nam are concentrated in the areas where the French troops are based. For this reason, prospects of any im mediate French compliance with Diem’s request appeared slim. The spokesman, from Diem’s office, said the French troops will be a source of friction and an ob ject of Nationalist resentment so long as they remain where they are. It would be preferable, he said, if the French pulled out of the South completely so the Premier’s government could avoid Commu nist charges that it is still under the influence of French colonial ism. Under last year’s Geneva agree ment ending the Indochina war, all French military units are to be out of Communist North Viet Nam by May 18. The spokesman said that since the French role in South Viet Nam officially is to insure the South against Red encroachment, the best means of accomplishing this would be to station all French troops at the border. Vaccine Shots To Be Resumed WASHINGTON, May 12 <7P)— Spokesmen for the U.S. Public Health Service indicated today that —if all goes well—the signal may be given tomorrow for lim ited resumption of inoculations with the Sr.lk polio vaccine. They said they expected to hear within hours from a scientific team re-testing vaccine made by Parke, Davis & Co., Detroit. If the report from Detroit is favorable and if Public Health of ficials here concur, they added, there is*likely to be quick action to release batches of the Parke- Davis product previously approv ed and now in the hands of doc tors. At the beginning of. the week the Public Health Service urged states to suspend their inocula tion programs until federal offi cials had rechecked the safeguards being used by drug firms produc ing the serum. These doublechecks began at Parke-Davis yesterday and will be extended to the other pharmaceutical houses. The governors appeared on the second in a series of programs entitled “The Voice of Delaware Valley-U.S.A.” Six Groups Named In Civil Anti-Trust Suit NEW' YORK, May 12 (#)—Six publishing and advertising groups were named today in a civil anti trust suit, charged with illegally channeling national advertising through about 1,000 agencies.

THE PERFECT PIZZA SALLY’S WE DELIVER AD 7-2373 France T roops Eisenhower May Control Polio Shots WASHINGTON, May 12 (JP)— Sentiment grew in Congress today to give President Dwight D. Eisenhower broad, discretionary powers to control the distribution and price of Salk polio vaccine. Many members of Congress want to clamp on immediate con trols to make sure the limited supply will go to children who need it most and at a fair price. The administration is reluctant to impose controls unless they are, absolutely necessary. At the moment tne U.S. Public Health Service is urging states to suspend their inoculation pro grams until federal officials have rechecked the safeguards being used by drug firms producing the vaccine. These double checks be gan in the Parke, Davis & Co. lab oratories in Detroit yesterday, and there was hope that fresh supplies of vaccine might be released for use by the weekend. More than five million school children have been inoculated with the Salk vaccine since it was pronounced a safe immunizing agent last month. According to the latest figures of the Public Health Service, 64 of the children have come down with polio since being vaccinated. The development of these cases apparently was a major factor in the decision to go back and check over manufacturing methods em ployed by the six companies li censed to turn out the serum. But both President Eisenhower and Surgeon Gen. Leonard Scheele, chief of the Public Health Service, have reiterated their f~'th in the vaccine and described the suspension of inoculations as just an extra measure of caution.
