Decrease Noted
In Polio Cases
WASHINGTON (JP)—The num

dropped by about 47Y2 per cent
in 1956, the Public Health Service
said today. The figures were: 15,-
400 cases reported in 1956 against
29.270 in 1955.
Last year was the first in which
there was widespread use of the
Salk polio vaccine. Although the
formal report made no reference
to this, a spokesman said the big
reduction obviously reflected use
of the vaccine.
There were 6708 paralytic polio
eases reported in 1956, compared
with 10,641 in 1955.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
The senator spoke out in an in
terview regarding Eisenhower's
request for standby authority to
use U.S. military forces in the!
Middle East in event of possible 1
aggression there.
The President will .go before an
lunusual Saturday joint session to
press for approval of a resolution
which would:
1. Give him advance authority
to use U.S. military might if he
felt such a move was necessary
Ito block Russian intrusion into
the Middle East.
ITo Authorize Aid
2. A uthorize the spending of
,400 million dollars r over a two
;year period beginning next July
!for economic aid to rations in the
strife-racked area.
So far there has been little out
ward opposition in Congress to
the Eisenhower administration's
Middle East proposals, pictured in
!some official quarters as needed
Ito fill a power vacuum left by de
istruction of British and French
' influence in the region.
Reaction Hostile
Overseas, the administration's
'proposal for standby troop author
ity met a hostile reaction from
sourze.s in Arab Syria and Egypt
and Communist Yugoslavia.
In Damascus, Ihsan El Jabri,
chairman of the Syrian Parlia
ment's Foreign Affairs Commit
tee, called the plan "a plot en
gineered by the imperialists." In
'Cairo, the newspaper Al Messaa
'published an article saying Eisen
hower's request involves a meth
od "rejected by all the peoples
of the world." In Belgrade, the
Communist newspaper Borba said
that by adopting the Eisenhower
plan the United States would risk
appearing in Arab eyes "as an
heir to the colonial powers."
East Germany
Seeks Red Aid
MOSCOW (W) East German ,
Premier Otto Grotewohl opened
negotiations in the Kremlin to
day for increased Soviet economic
assistance for his hard-pressed
zone of Germany.
Grotewohl, Communist Party
Secretary Walter Ulbricht and
others of their 12-man delegation
sat down across a green baize ta
ble in an upstairs office of the
Kremlin for a new round of dis
cussions with Premier Bulganin
and other leaders of the Soviet
government.
Their agenda called for discus
sion, of political, economic and
!cultural relations between the
itwo Red regimes.
fia. Similar action is contemplated
against a group of students at
the Sofia Polytechnic School, the
correspondent added.
In Berlin .a group of 16 refugee
high school students from East
Germany told reporters only a
small percentage of the youth had
succumbed to Communist doctrine
being drummed steadily in their
ears.
Students Persecuted
East Germany has cracked
down on its restive student popu
lation, apparently fearing- they
might spark a revolt there as they
did in Hungary and Poland. The
Soviet Union is also taking a ste
attitude toward any student chal
lenge of Communist doctrine. -
The teen-agers, who fled from
the small town of Storkow in East
Germany - to West Berlin, said
U.S. Trade
With Poland
Expected
WASHINGTON (M—The Eisen
hower administration was report
ed ready today to let Communist
Poland buy surplus U.S. farm
goods with dollars at world mar
ket prices.
-This would be the first step,
officials said, in the Eisenhower
program of helping any country
that breaks' away from Moscow
during the initial stages of its
economic estrangement from the
Soviet bloc.
Restrictions to Be Lifted
The Commerce Department is
expected to announce shortly the
lifting for Poland of export licen
sing restrictions which barred Po
land and other Iron Curtain coun
tries from buying surplus U.S.
farm goods for dollars at world
prices.
The restriction, imposed as ad
ministrative policy two years ago,
dealt specifically at that time
with butter. The argument was
that otherwise the Reds could buy
U.S. butter cheaper than the
American housewife could. Do
mestic farm prices, propped up
by U.S. farm subsidies, are gen
erally higher than world market
prices.
Poles Seek Wheat
In preliminary talks at Warsaw
between U.S. and Polish officials,
the Poles have sought wheat, cot
ton and farm and factory ma
chines;
The Poles emphasized they
wanted trade not aid which
would require them to make a
political commitment to the Uni
ted States.
Miami Attorney to Study
Bus Segregation Ruling
MIAMI, Fla. (!P)—The city of
Miami, faced with the ruling of a
federal judge that its bus segre
gation laws and those of the en
tire state are unconstitutional, set
the city attorney to work today
studying what, if anything, will
be the next move.
The ruling, made orally by
Judge Emett Choate yesterday ap
parently caught everyone off
guard.
most of the students do not be
lieve the Communist doctrines the
school authorities try to teach
them.
Students Fled
"I would say that only five to
eight per cent are good Commu
nists," one youth said. He and 15
others fled to freedom after Com
munists authorities threatefted re
prisals for a student demonstra
tion on behalf of Hungary's free
dom fighters. They plan to join
relatives in - West Germany and
pursue their studies there.
Another Warsaw newspaper,
the Communist party's Trybuna
Ludu, reported that "holligans
and hostile elements" were re
sponsible for disturbing incidents
in areas of Poland where Soviet
troops are "temporarily sta
t ioned."
Democrats Establish
Advisory Committee
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 M—Despite refusal of congres
sional leaders to join, a group of key Democrats established a
permanent Advisory Committee today to make their party
"more responsive and more responsible to its members and to
the public."
The group, organized around such Democrats as former
President Truman and Adlai E.
Stevenson, the party's 1956 presi
dential candidate, -started off by
criticizing the Eisenhower admin
istration's foreign policy and call
ing on Democrats to hold Eisen
hower "accountable for every act
of his administration."
Met in Private
It met in private with eight of
the 11 members of the Democratic
National Committee's Executive
Committee and adopted a lengthy
resolution pledging among other
things to:
1. Provide a "collective voice"
on a year-round basis for the
"millions of Democrats who may
or may not be represented in ei
ther house of Congress."
2. Help the party deal on a
broad democratic basis with "new
situations which may not be dealt
with in our platform."
To Make New Programs
3. Present new programs to
meet problems which arise dur
ing the periods between conven
tions."
Democratic National Chairman
Paul M. Butler read the resolu
tions -to reporters after the Ad
visory Committee proposed in
November by the party's Execu
tive Committee was organized.
Although 20 Democrats in and out
of Congress were invited to join,
only eight have accepted and just
five of these attended today's
initial meeting.

Unexpectedly
. VIENNA, Austria, Jan. 4 (iP)

11951, succeeding President Karl
!Renner, who also died in office.
Koerner's term was to expire
June 20, and he had announced
ihe would retire because of his
'age' and health.
He suffered a slight stroke last

As one of his last official du

It was his work in leading
Vienna in the dark days after
World War H that made him re
vered by the present generation
