Nationalists
Sow Mines
Near Reds
Move To Thwart
Possible Invasion
TAIPEI, Formosa (R)-The Na-
tionalists disclosed yesterday they
have sown mines in waters close
to Red China to thwart any inva-
sion moves against offshore is-
lands and to choke off shipping to
the Red port of Foochow.
The minefields were laid around
islands which the Nationalists
hold as close as four miles to the
mainland.
The move freshly underscored
Nationalist intent to hold on to
the islands. Foreign Minister
George Yeh is reported to have
assured the Legislative Yuan Par-
liament yesterday that the gov-
ernment resolutely opposes any
idea of a cease-fire in Formosa
Strait.
T Yeh was quoted as repeating as-
surances there would be no Na-
tionalist withdrawal from the off-
shore islands, where there has
been both Red air and artillery
action this week.
Nationalist quarters did not say
flatly the minefields were laid in
territorial waters of Red China but
this would seem inevitable. They
said there was no need to notify
other countries since it has been
made clear for years that ships
trading with Red China must do
so at their own risk.
The Nationalists believe the Reds
have been getting through with
jet fuel and other war supplies to
Foochow despite the vigil of gar-
risons off the Fukien Province
coast in the Matsu Island group.
l Settlement
Near in 54
Day Strike
WASHINGTON ()--Chairman
Francis A. O'Neill Jr., of the Na-
tional Mediation Board said short-
ly before midnight yesterday the
chances appeared good for a set-
tlement of the 54-door Louisville
& Nashville Railroad strike.
"We're talking business," O'Neill
said, "the flare up Thursday night
over the shooting of a striker is
all over with."
O'Neill mentioned that com-
1 pany negotiators had reported a
train wreck yesterday.
Dynamite set off under a freight
train derailed five diesel units and
12 cars near Corbin, Ky. late yes-
terday. In another dynamiting, the
L&N tracks were bent, derailing
three freight cars en route from
Knoxville, Tenn., to Corbin. No
one was hurt in either incident.
Asked if he looked for any set-
tlement Friday night, O'Neill said:
"Oh, yes, we're right at it."
Smouldering tempers in the
strike erupted into pistol fire
Thursday night and yesterday,
leaving one striker dead in Ten-
nessee and another seriously
wounded in Kentucky.
Disputes Rage
Over Recent
Appropriations
LANSING (P)--Sen. Elmer R.
Porter (R-Blissfield) lashed back
at Gov. G. Mennen Williams today
in a dispute over the si.e of the
appropriation for mental health
purposes.
Sen. Porter, 'chairman of the
t Senate Appropriations Committee,
said the Governor "should be
ashamed for not telling the people
the truth" about the appropria-
tions.
Gov. Williams had said it was
a "real shock" to see the size of
the 'cuts in his recommendations
to the Legislature, especially in
the money allotted for hospital
personnel.

East Lansing (P) - The State

SAIGON, South Viet Nam ur-
A government informant said yes-
terday South Viet Nam will pro-
claim herself a republic if assured
backing by France, Britain and
the United States.
The attitude of these powers,
the source close to Premier Ngo
Dinh Diem said, is the only
stumbling block to the Mouth's rev-
olutionary move to depose Chief
of State Bao Dai.
The informant said Diem's gov-
ernment is confident of quick rec-
ognition from such non-Commu-
nist Asian nations as Japan, the
Philippines. Nationalist China,
South Korea, Cambodia and Thai-
land.
Officials To Meet
U.S. Secretary of State Dulles
and French and British officials
will discuss South Viet Nam po-
litical developments in Paris this
weekend. Bao Dai also is expected
to be on hand with a personal
appeal to France and the United
States to keep him in power.
The President of South Viet'
Nam's Revolutionary Committee,
Nguyen Bao Toan, said yesterday
that as long as Bao Dai remains
as Chief of State there can be noj
lasting friendship between France
and this country.
"Not Anti-French"
Atom Blast
Result Seen

SURVIVAL CITY, Nev. (i)-Civ-1
il defense experts prodded into the
shredded wreckage of this atom-r
blasted town yesterday and learn-
ed where and how you would dieI
-or survive - in a nuclear attack.i
Ripped and crumpled debris of
some homes, like two which were
standing less than a mile from
Thursday's mighty atomic explo-
sion, made clear that none would
have lived in them. The manne-
quin families in them "died"-to
a man. Force of the blast was equal
to 35,000 tons of TNT. The bombs
that leveled Hiroshimo and Naga-
saki had the power of 20,000 tons.
Two other homes, about equally
near, bore up better. Their walls
and flat roofs withstood the bat-
tering. But the awful force of the
atomic storm had swept their in-
teriors into windrows of fittings
and furniture, made the house
hollow shells.'-
Powerful Weapon
Radiation would have been a
powerful weapon against any per-
sons above ground and exposed
within the 4,700-foot area.
Harold L. Goodwin, test direc-
tor of the Federal Civil Defense
Administration, said that, "Most
people above ground within this
area would have died." He esti-'
mated a probably fatal dose of 400
roentgens hit the front line of
homes at 4,700 feet.
Flying Debris Danger
Some persons would have been'
hurt, perhaps fatally, by flying de-
bris, too, he said. But those in shel-
ters in the 4,700-foot area prob-
ably would -have been safe.
An inspection of shelters in the'
homes bore hijn out. In the two
flattened homes on Doomsday
drive, four shelters were uncrack-
ed.
Tower Collapsed
One 150-foot radio tower col-
lapsed at midsection and toppled
to the ground. But another, of
similar dimensions and construc-
tion and located at roughly the
same distance, remained upright,
though bent. The transmitter
building escaped with some rough
buffeting and CD repairmen said
the stationhcould be made opera-
tive in an hour or two.
A test home 5,500 feet from the
explosion, built specially to with-
stand blast, showed a smashed
front, all windows blasted into
pebble-size shapes of glass, the in-
terior ripped by the passing of the
shock wave. The roof was gone.
Dulles Sees
'New Europe'
WASHINGTON (P)-- Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles de-
clared yesterday that "a new Eu-
rope,'*united, free and secure" is
assured with Germany's entry into
the North Atlantic Alliance.
Dulles took off for Paris later
with a party of advisers in Presi-
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower's four-
engine aircraft, Columbine. He

Hatcher Presents Culture
Plans for Michigan Week
By DICK SNYDER-
Plans for cultural activities during Michigan Week, May 15-21,
were presented at a press conference held yesterday by University
President Harlan, H. Hatcher.
Present were Erich A. Walter, assistant to the President, and
members of the Cultural Materials Committee.
Opening the informal meeting in the Regents' Conference Room,

rapidly than the citizens are aware."
Week Offers Chance
Michigan Week, he continued, offers us a chance "to recognize'
'what is in our own backyard with-
out being entirely provincial about
C_ TU Eit."
The President called on various
1 .members of the Committee to dis-

the Week.
In B attle Cultural aspects discussed were

But Scheele
Says Only
Temporarily
Approved Vaccine
Shots To Continue
By The Associated Press
The federal government's pro-
gram for approving Salk polio vac-
cine for shipment has been brought
to a temporary standstill while a
top-level scientific conference re-
views production and safety stan-
dards.
Surgeon Gen. Leonard A. Scheele
disclosed t h i s yesterday. He
stressed it does not mean the vac-
cine is "under suspicion." He ex-
plained that the government mere-
ly wants to use "every conceivable
safeguard."
He urged that inoculation pro-
grams throughout the nation con-
tinue with vaccine already ap-
proved, and said he was confident
the clearance embargo would be
lifted in a few days.
County Program to Continue
Washtenaw County's polio inoc-
'ulation program will continue un-
til word is received to interrupt it,
Dr. Otto K. Engelke, Washtenaw
County ahealth , director, said at
noon yesterday.
Dr. Engelke said that first round
of shots in Washtenaw County was
completed' yesterday. So far, the
County has no more vaccine for
the second round which issched-
uled to begin May 20, he added.
"Vaccine Excellent"
Scheele, head of the U.S. Public
Health Service, told the House
Bankinsg Committee the vaccine
is excellent despite some 40 cases
of reported polio among children
who have had their first "shots.
He said this is a small number
among the four to six million who
have been inoculated, and added
there is "absolutely no cause for .
alarm."
Michigan first case of suspected
polio in a child who received Salk
vaccine was reported today.
At the same time state officials
said the school vaccination pro-
