county annexation proposals and a
county prop.sal ballot.

State of Michigan, transfer the sum
of One Hundred Ten Thousand
($110,000.00) Dollars from the funds
now on hand in the General Fund
of the County to a Special Fund
for the purpose of constructing and
equipping a Juvenile Detention
Home in the County."
League View
The non-partisan League of
Women Voters has campaigned to
urge voters to support this propo-
sal. All candidates for state legis-
lative posts have endorsed it.
The first proposal to amend the
state constitution concerns pre-
venting disqualification of voters
who have moved within the state
during the 30 days preceding an
election.

for the State Senate and Legisla-
ture, respectively, as expressed to
The Daily are:
Lewis G. Christman (R)-Yes.

Introduced as the Conlin Plan ita
asks:
"Shall Section 23, Article X ofj
the constitution be amended to lim-
it the sales tax levy to a maximum
of 3% and provide that the sales
tax collected on each dollar of
sales, minus collection costs, shall_
be distributed as follows: %c to
cities, villages, and townships on a
population basis calculated there-
in, 2c to a restricted fund expend-
able for school districts as provid-I
ed by law, including a mandatory
restrictedappropriation for school
employees' retirement, and the bal-
ance to the state."
The League of Women Voters has
come out against the proposal. The1
candidates' preferences are: (
' Christman (R)-Yes
Reimann (D)-Neutral
Sallade (R)-Yes
Carr (D)-No
Third Proposal
The third proposal is to author-
ize the borrowing of "no more than
$80,000,000.00" to pay bonuses for
military service during the Korean
War.
The opinion on this proposal was:
Christman (R-No
Reimann (D)-Yes
Sallade (R)-YesE
Carr (D)-Yes
Final(Proposal
The final proposal is to permit
the legislature to authorize char-
itable lotteries. The candidates'I
preferences are:
Christman (R)-Yes
Reimann (D)-Noj
Sallade (R)-Yes7
Carr (D)-No
The five annexation proposals
are concerned with detaching cer-1
tain parcels of land from the Town-
ship of Ann Arbor and annexing
them to the City of- Ann Arbor.
They may be voted on only byI
property owners.
In future articles which will deal
with individual candidates on the

McLaughlin's Mars Theory

By MARY LEE DINGLER+
Speaking about his theory concerning markings on the planet
Mars, which has been named one of the top ten astronomical contri-
butions of the year, Prof. Dean B. McLaughlin of the astronomy de-
partment said, "I never expected anything to come of it."

Plans To Buy
Salk Vaccine
Francis Gathers
Results of Tests
By The Associated Press
The National Foundation for In-
fantile Paralysis said yesterday in
New York City that it is contract-
ing to buy enough Salk polio vac-
cine to treat nine million persons
next year, although it is still un-
known whether the vaccine works.
Results of the tests to determine
whether the vaccine prevents po-
lio are being gathered by Dr.
Thomas Francis Jr. at the Univer-
sity. His report is expected to be
completed next April.
Calculated Risk
By making the contract, said
Foundation President Basil O'Con-
nor, supplies will be available so
it will be possible to start giving
the vaccine immediately after re-
sults of tests of its effectiveness
are in next spring.
"The national foundation is tak-
ing a calculated financial risk in
purchasing vaccine before it has
been found to be effective," he
said.
But he added "we have every
reason to hope and believe" that
it will be. And if this proves to
be the case, he said, the vaccine
ordered now can be put to prompt
use next year-instead of having
to wait 70 days to get it produced.
Begin Production
On the basis of the advance or-
der, he said, pharmaceutical hous-
es can begin production at once.
The vaccine will cost $9 million'
dollars, or $1 for each three-shot
series for the projected nine mil-
lion recipients.
Shots will be made available,
O'Connor said, to groups deemed
the "most highly susceptible" to
polio, and totalling10,490,000 chil-
dren and adults. He said only 75,
per cent of them-or nine million-
could be expected to ask for the
vaccine.
The groups include 1,390,000 chil-;
dren who participated in field trials
of the vaccine early this year but
not 440,000 others who got the real
vaccine, an estimated 4,275,000
women who will be pregnant be-
tween next April 1 and September
30, and 4,825,000 firt-grade chil-
dren.

The final toll was expected to be

In the aftermath of the storm,
worst in Toronto's history, 28 Ca-

Casualty Toll

Hurricane Hazel's Canadian Trip
Causes 100 Million Dollar Damage'
TORONTO (MP)-Rescue workers yesterday lifted more bodies
from the silt and debris of Ontario's disastrous hurricane, bringing
the casualties to 57 known dead and 39 missing.
Hurricane Hazel, which churned up out of the Caribbean last
week and cut across the North American continent from the Caro-
linas to Hudson Bay, took a known death toll of 155 in Canada and
claimed, "a sideline begun out ofn
pure personal curiosity."
Caused by Currents
By 1941 McLaunghlin was con-'
vinced that the systematic sur-
face markings on Mars "were
caused by great air currents simi-
lar to the trade winds on earth."
In the midst of working on the
problem of the direction taken by
the winds, the war began and Mc-
Laughlin was forced to discontinue
his research. It wasn't until early
in 1954 that "Mars was taken off
the shelf again."

compares the mysterious markings
to the dust bowls of the Southwest.
The winds pick up great amounts
of material from sources located
near the planet's equator.
Active Volcanoes
McLaughlin who is a geologist
and meteorologist as well as an
astronomer says that the sources
must be active volcanoes since
they supply such a tremendous
quantity of ash and dust.
Since there are neither oceans
nor lang mountain ranges on the
planet the dust is then deposited
in drifts over Mars' surface. "It is
nearly the same principle as plac-
ing an electric fan behind a large
pile of sand," the professor ex-
plained. "The sand will continue
to shift and spread out as long as
the force of the wind is behind it."
Disposes Old Idea
Prof. McLaughlin's theory fur-
ther disposes of the old idea that
there are man made canals and
other signs of human habitation on
our neighboring planet.
Commenting on the cooperation
of astronomers around the world,
and on their contributions in gen-
eral the professor stated, "The
same sun, moon and stars shine on
Russia and the rest of the world
that shine here. There is no rea-
son why we shouldn't be working
on similar problems."'
