Army Agrees
To Give Early
Statements
WASHINGTON - (4P) - The
Army agreed yesterday to give in-
vestigating senators an advance
statement of its accusations
against Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R
Wis.) and of the evidence to sup-
port the charges.
The Senate investigations sub-
committee, which will conduct the
inquiry at public televised hear-!
ings starting April 22, announced
it also has asked McCarthy fori
similar statements in connection
with his accusations against top
Army officials.
SEN. KARL Mundt (R-SD), who
will preside at the investigation,
told a news conference the charges
made by each side in the bitter
' o will be made available to thg
other, and the subcommittee's
special counsel, Ray H. Jenkins,
said it would be "normal" prac-
tice to make the statements pub-i
4 lic at the same time.
Mundt described the move as
intended in part to prevent ei-
ther side from springing some
"surprise package" of testimony
at its adversary in the hear-
ings.

a 3%/4 hour meeting behind closed
doors with Stevens and Joseph N.

Yanks, Dodgers Favored
To Cop Pennants in'54
By PAUL GREENBERG
Associate Sports Editor
Major League baseball, as sure a harbinger of spring as young
love, makes -its appearance today with all sixteen teams seeing action.
And once again, the dreaded duo from New York-the Yankees
from the Bronx and the Dodgers from Brooklyn-are in the favored
roles for the pennant chases that get under way this afternoon.'
AFTER THIS 'PAST injury-plagued exhibition season, the Brook-
lyn team, fed by young ballplayers from its own minor league affil-
iates and the Yanks, with their talent for importing established stars

'County Drops
Participation
In .Polio Tests
Dr. Thomas Francis, Jr., chair-
man of the department of epi-
demiology, School of Public
Health, said yesterday that to his
knowledge no other arca in the
country had cancelled participat-
ing in the new polio vaccine tests
besides from Washtenaw County.
Washtenaw Country dropped out
of taking part in the Salk polio
vaccine tests scheduled on a na-
tion-wide basis for this month
last Friday when Dr. Otto K. En-
gelke, County Health Director said
he was calling off the experiments
here because of "delays and con-
fusion."
IN A PREPARED statement
which was endorsed by about 50
doctors attending a meeting of
the Washtenaw County Medical
Society Dr. Engelke said he had
"'eceived word from a very reli-
able source that vaccine will not
be available to complete the five
week program of vaccination with
a sufficient margin of time before
the polio season or the closing of
schools."
The move came in the wake
of a news release issued by the
State Medlical Society and a
broadcast by Walter Winchell
discussing the polio vaccine.
Winchell said that "live" polio
virus was found in some of the
vaccine being tested for safety,
and the state medical group said
the conditions of its safety pro-
gram had not been met by the Na-
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis which is conducting the
test.
Dr. Engelke emphasized, how-
ever, that he did not lack faith in
*from other major league teams,
rule as favorites.
But that isn't to say that
they won't be challenged. The
elderly Yanks, held together for
several seasons by the adhesive
mastery of Casey Stengel's man-
agerial talents, stand the great-
er chance of failing 'over the
154-game route.
The Boston Red Sox. the
Cleveland Indians and the Chi-
cago White -Sox will provide New
York with its greatest opposition.
CLEVELAND has stood still un-
der the general managing of
Hank Greenberg, and the failure
to make important trades has
hurt the Indians-but they still
have a fine pitching nucleus in
Bob Lemon, Early Wynn and Mike
Garcia.
Paul Richard's White Sox
have class and speed but the
pitching is pretty thin once you
get past Billy Pierce and the
aging Virgil Trucks.
So the Yanks, despite their
poor spring record and their in-
creasing age and the injured
Mickey Mantle, are expected to
win. They have the depth and
the talent needed to outclass the
field.

would be little for him to dis-
cuss with French leaders be-
cause the f'rench already agreed
with Britain on the issue.
But if Dulles was able to get
agreement on some united action
before the Geneva meeting, France
saw little chance of holding out
against both her major Western
allies.
