A Parade of Ilonoigi Impressive Program for Israel's Continues for Salk NEW YORK, • (JTA) — The parade of honors for Dr. Jonas E. Salk, conqueror of dread polio, continued this week. Fore- most among them was the award in Washington of a cita- tion by President Eisenhower. The President presented cita- tions to the famed researcher and Dr. Basil O'Connor, presi- dent of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, at a White House ceremony. The White House announced that the citation was being made to Dr. Salk pending Congressional action on proposals to set up a standing award for distin- guished civilian achievement an award for just such contri- butions to humanity as ttiat made by Dr. Salk. New York's Mayor Robert F. Wagner announced the estab- lishment of eight annual gradu- ate scholarships of $3,500 each to graduates of this city's muni- cipal colleges who would con- tinue their education in the field of medical science. The College of the City of New York, of - which Dr. Salk is a 1934 gradu- ate, also announced this week that it would confer on him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. It will be only the ninth time in this-Century. that the College has conferred such a de- gree. A "Jonas Salk Fund" for use in the field of preventive medi- cine will probably be set up from contributions and offers of fi- nancial aid that have- been pouring in to the University of Pittsburgh researcher. He said that he would "very likely" start such a special fund. Independence Day Event, Saturday Mordecai R.

KIDRON * Salk Vaccine Victory Over Racial Prejudice The Salk polio vaccine- was hailed in Toronto, as a victory over prejudice by Rabbi Abra- ham Feinberg.. "The vaccine of Dr. Salk, a dew, is not only protection against the physical plague of polio but a protest against the spiritual plague of racial and religious prejudice," he said. Many American medic al schools, Dr. Feinberg charged, have a "quota" system which bars Jewish applicants from ad- mission on no other grounds except their faith. Only by chance did Jonas Salk seek medical training at a Univer- sity that accepted him in the year of application. "He might have been refused, despite his genius for research," he said. Without the help of his Pro- testant and Catholic partners, Dr. Jonas Salk, a Jew, could riot have reached the full scope of his special genius," said Rabbi Feinberg. "The bright hope in• the war on polio is based on brotherhood?'
