Peng Attacks U.S.
Red MIGs
Outnumber
Sabre Jets
KUNSAN, Korea, Friday, May
13 (/P) —U.S. Sabre Jet pilots, who
turned the cold war hot for a few
minutes Tuesday, said yesterday
the Chinese Communist MIG
force from which the attackers
came, outnumbered them four to
one.
They said there were at least
32 MIGs in the force. From 12 to
17 MIGs attacked the 8 Sabrds off
the west coast of North Korea
while the rest of the Chinese Reds
flew high dover.
Sabre pilots knocked down at
least two MIGs and probably bag
ged two more. The Sabres re
turned to base without a scratch.
In Tokyo, Gen. Maxwell D. Tay
lor, U.S. Far East commander, or
dered a strong protest laid before
the Military Armistice Commis
sion against “the hostile and ille
gal attack," '

People’s Daily asserted U.S. Sa
bres invaded .China’s territorial
air. It called this “part of thd
criminal plan of U-S. aggression
to prevent the liberation of For
mosa by intimidating the Chinese
people."
Lt. CGI. Robert E. Dawson, Day
ton, Ohio, squadron commander,
told a news conference the Sabrep
never were closer than 25 miles
to Chinese territory and flew over
no Red islands, as Peipihg
charged.
“It was impossible for us to

he said. "They were above us.
But if they’re going to come down
and shoot at us and think it’s for
fun, they’re just plain crazy.’’

Road Plan Need—Leader
dollar figure from a survey of
roadways in the United States re
cently conducted by the federal
government - .
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.
"We are an industrial state "for
tunately situated.
“We would look with favor on
a greater return; but we do not
begrudge our contribution to
those states not so fortunately
situated.”
He stressed his “firm belief
that we need more roads” and
pledged that he will “strongly

Diem Asks
To Remove
SAIGON, South Viet Nam, May 12 (A*)—A government spokes
man said today Premier Ngo Dinh Diem is asking France to shift
French troops north to the Communist border area or withdraw
them from South Viet Nam. 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

trust suit, charged with illegally
channeling national advertising
through about 1,000 agencies.
At stake is a time-honored cus
tom whereby agencies handle mil
lions of dollars worth of advertis
ing each year for the nation’s pub
lishers, retaining for themselves a
fixed 15 per cent commission.

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.
