FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 4. 1955 U.S. Urges Arab, Israeli Parleys WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 (/P)—The United States today prodded Israel and the Arab states to hold high-level peace talks instead of trying to fight out their "explosive" border dispute. State Department press officer Lincoln White said such talks "would be welcome." He thus endorsed a call by Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, for face-to-face Byrnes Hits Assertion By Truman COLUMBIA, S.C., Nov. 3 (HI James 'F. Byrnes denied and called "shocking" today an as sertion by former President Tru man that Brynes falsely claimed the support of Franklin D. Roose velt in seeking the Democratic vice presidential nomination in 1944. Byrnes, who was Truman's sec retary of state. and later governor of South Carolina, also denied an other statement in Truman's new ly published memoirs—that Tru man scolded him for going beyond his authority in the 1945 foreign ministers conference at Moscow. Supports Stand In support of his stand, Byrnes released for publication an auto graph inscription in a book which demonstrates, he said, that Tru man sought his friendship as late as August, 1952. The South Caro linian commented: "It is difficult to reconcile Mr. Truman's privately expressed de sire for my friendship with his publicly expressed reflections up on my integrity and my public service." Asserting he kept Tru man informed to the extent com munications permitted, Byrnes declared: Would Have Resigned "Had President Truman read to me in January, 1946, the 'lec ture' he now reports, I certainly would have resigned immediately; not in personal pique but because of my deep' conviction that the President of the United States must at all times have complete confidence in his secretary of state, and that it would have been detrimental to the national in terest for me to remain in office if I did not enjoy such .confi dence." As for the charge he misled Truman on the vice presidential nomination, Byrnes said: "I did not tell him President Roosevelt would advocate my nomination. I did not know that the President favored him." Vaccine Against WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 (fP)—The Public Health Service and Johns Hopkins University today jointly announced successful trial of a still-experimental vaccine against a common form of "cold type" illness. But illness against which it tection is only one of many cold type ailments, the Health Service said. The joint announcement said experiments with prisoner volun teers indicate that the vaccine provides "substantial protection for human beings" against one of the nine "APC" viruses. That's a family of respiratory viruses discovered several years ago. The initials stand for ade noidal pharyngeal, conjunctival. The APC viruses usually attack the adenoid, throat and eye tis sue. Deals With Type 3 APC The current research dealt with Type 3 APC virus, which causes a five-day illness marked by fe ver, sore throat and conjuncti vitis, or "red eye." This sickness can occur sporadically or in sharp outbreaks or epidemics. The researchers stressed that "there is no prospect for produc parleys with Arab leaders In Cairo and Washington, how ever, Arab leaders challenged Ben-Gurion's sincerity. Statements from Egyptian of ficials in Cairo and from Egypt's embassy in Washington contend ed border fighting which flared today was planned even as Ben- Gitrio urged peace talks yester day. White told his news conference today the United States is con cerned about fighting along the Israeli-Egyptian border. He said the State Department is "explor ing ways and means by which the United Nations can be helpful to this situation." East Explosive White said the Middle East pic ture "has been explosive for some time." In view of the new fight ing, he said, "it's getting worse." The chief responsibility rests with the United Nations, whose Security Council is specifically charged with maintaining world peace. The Council could, for ex ample, investigate and recom mend solutions—but its actions are subject to a Soviet veto. 'Urging Sobriety' White said the United States is "urging sobriety" in Cairo and Tel Aviv. He said U.S. diplomats there are doing everything pos sible "to calm tempers." But he recalled a recent obser vation by Secretary of State Dulles that the United States can't resolve all the world's trib ulations. Dulles is making a personal appeal' to Sovik Foreign Minis ter Molotov at the Geneva con ference on the subject of Com munist arms shipments to the Egyptians. • Ike Takes Walk; Leaves Wheelchair DENVER, Nov. 3 (EP)—Presi dent Eisenhower discarded his wheelchair around hi s .hospital quarters today and for the first time walked onto an outdoor ter race to soak in sunshine and brisk air. For several days now, the Pres ident has been able to stroll at will around his room and through the corridors on the eighth floor of Fitzsimons Army Hospital. To day his doctors told him he could walk anywhere around the 2ne level--the sundcck and an audi torium included. Called Effective One 'Cold-Type has shown evidence of high pro- tion of the vaccine for public use in the near future." Moreover, they emphasized that: 1. The present vaccine is de signed against only one of the nine APC organisms, and that re search must be undertaken to de velop an experimental vaccine against the entire group. Infecting Only Part 2. Infections caused by all the APC viruses constitute only part of the over-all problem of com mon respiratory—or cold-t yp e diseases—which strike the aver age American six times a year and cost the nation several bil lions of dollars in terms of ab sence from work or school and resultant lowered productivity. The announcement concerning the experimental vaccine was made coincident with publication of a technical report by the re searchers in the Journal of the American Medical Assn. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN.
