But Dr. Otto K. Engelke, County Health Director stuck to his guns late yesterday reaffirming his position that the "community would be better served" were the scheduled experiments postponed here. * * * * THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT withdrew from the polio tests April 8, following a new release from the state Medical Society and (*,' 1 U.S., Britain Seek To Halt Reds in Asia PARIS-(2)-The United States and Britain agreed yesterday to push for formation of a new 10- nation military lineup in the Pa- cific, like NATO, to halt Commun- ist expansion in Southeast Asia. U. S. Secretary of State Dulles flew here from London for French approval. French and American sources said he was sure to get it. A JOINT British-U.S. statement, issued in London, assailed Com- munist-led aggression in Indo- china and Red threats to South- east Asian security. It added: "Accordingly, we are ready to take part with the other coun- tries principally concerned in an examination of the possi- bility of establishing a collec- tive defense within the frame- work of the charter of the United Nations organization to assure the peace, security and freedom of Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific." The 10 countries would be the United States, Britain, France, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, the Philippines, and the three Indo-china states of Laos, Cam- bodia and Viet Nam. Thailand has already volun- teered to join. * DULLES SAID on arriving in Paris that the Western Allies had a common purpose in trying to end the war in Indochina "on con- ditions which will guarantee lib- erty and justice for all the peo- ple of that area." He said he hoped that end of the Indochinese War would be the outcome of the Geneva confer-h ence opening April 26, and that the defense plan would help achieve it.

The executive committee of the Medical School and mem- bers of the faculty directly con- cerned with polio research is- sued a statement declaring that the reason for this action "doubts, delays and public con- fusion" did not seem adequate. "The need right now is to pro- tect as many children as possible against this dreaded disease," the statement continued. "We have every reason to believe that its use entails no greater risks than vac- cines employed daily for other communicable diseases. "With these assurances and with human lives at stake, can there be any rational justification for delay?" the doctors asked. * * * IN ANSWERING this the Health Department said it "has received no new information from any source which would indicate that properly certified vaccine and no- tice of its complete acceptance by the Michigan State Medical So- ciety would be available- in time to permit a successful conclusion to Salk polio vaccine experiments" this month. "To the contrary, the Health Department declared, "all we have been able to learn has con- firmed our original opinion that the community would be, better served were the program here postponed until a time when it might be completed with a suf- ficient safety margin between Ch . l , tinnof Ch oh vpino- Wolverines Beaten, 441 By Broncos Graham Limits 'M' to Two Hits By PHIL DOUGLIS Towering hurler Gry Graham slammed the door in Michigan's face yesterday with a brilliant two-hitter as the Broncos of West- ern Michigan College downed Ray Fisher's nine, 4-1. A slim Ferry Field crowd saw the Broncos take an early second inning lead and never give it up, as the six-foot, three-inch Gra- ham allowed only seven Wolver- ines to reach base. * * * THE WOLVERINES will try to regain their lost composure today at 3:30 p.m. when they host the Titans of the University of De- troit on Ferry Field. Games Fri- day at Western Michigan, and Saturday at Toledo will round out the week's baseball schedule. The only Wolverine hits off Graham were a third inning double by centerfielder Danny Cline and a ninth inning single off the bat of first baseman Jack - Corbett. Cline's double drove in the only Michigan run, a healthy drive that rolled all the way to the fence when Bronco left fielder Al Nagel mis- judged it. The clout scored catcher Dick Leach who had gotten on base on a walk. The big blow for Western Mich- igan, which put them ahead to stay, was Nagel's third inning home run, a ponderous 335 foot smash that dropped over the fence just inches from left fielder Bob Leach's outstretched glove. Teammate Ron Heaviland was on board at the time, having drawn a walk. The Broncos continued to pad their lead in the sixth when Jim Stevenson tallied from second when Corbettsbobbled a ground Iball off" the stick of Bill Lajoie, and threw wild to first. IN THE EIGHTH Fisher lifted pitcher Jack Ritter, who had walked eight men during his seven inning stint, and inserted veteran Marv Wisniewski. Wisniewski soon found him- self in a real jam, as an error, walk and hit batsman loaded the bases with no outs. He then struck out Heaviland but walked Nagel to force in the final Bron co run. He escaped from the predicament by making the next two batters hit foul balls to third baseman Don Eaddy, both in the same spot.

Daily Managing Editor The revised student government constitution including provision for a 25 cent a semester student tax won Student Affairs Commitee approval yesterday, but the tax will not go into effect unless it is favorably considered by the Board of Regents. The remainder of the new charter. which received a two-to-one vote of approval from the student body in last month's all-campus election, went into effect with the - SAC action. Outside of the tax proviso, there were few changes beyond minor substantive revi- sions and several wording adjust- ments arising from the changed campus judiciary structure. STUDENT Legislature President Bob Neary, '54BAd., indicated last night that the tax proposal would be submitted shortly to the Uni- versity administrative officers andI then to the Regents, perhaps at their May meeting.

The executive committee of the Medical School in challenging the Health Department's ruling said that when "one considers the an- ticipated mortality and disabili- ties of poliomyelitis in the next several months, there can be no agreement with any other plan other than one of using the cer- tified vaccine to the limit of its availability." The group also called for a "fac- tual non-emotional approach to this exceedingly important public health program and an immediate practical program of action."

Robert Oppenheimer, the man who directed the building of the first A-bomb and one of the first to conceive the hydrogen bomb. By personal order of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Oppen- heimer has been barred from all access to secret data-and sus- pended as one of the nation's fore- most atomic defense advisors-- pending a check of 16 FBI-gat- ered charges against him. * * * ONE MAJOR charge: that he fought and delayed development of the H-bomb. Other allegations linked the world-famous scientist with known Communists and Com- munist activities even after he took charge in 1942 of the A-bomb development program at Los Alamos, N.M. The Atomic Energy Commission announced that a special three- man panel headed by Gordon Gray, president of the University of North Carolina and former sec- retary of the Army, has been named to weigh the charges Oppenheimer, 49, director of the Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton, N.J., readily acknowl- edged working for Communist causes in the past-he said his wife is an ex-Communist --and agreed that in 1949-50 he opposed making an all-out effort to build an H-bomb. BUT he said in a 43-page reply to the AEC allegations that (1) he never has been a Communist and long has been out of sympathy with the party, and (2) once ex- President Harry S. Truman order- ed the H-bomb work started, he dropped all opposition and helped develop it. All in all, said Oppenheimer, who carries, probably, as much atomic information in his head ' as any man alive, he feels he has sometimes acted unwisely but "what I have learned has, I think, made me more fit to serve my country."
