LXV, No. 151 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1955 FOUR PAGES 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 Board of kgriculture has asked for a hearing before the Senate Ap- propriations Committee to protest cuts in the appropriation planned for Michigan State College.

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 14 Test City 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 had conferred with the President earlier in the day on problems of 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, President Hatcher said, "The states have matured culturally more 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- B ru cuss their thoughts and plans on the Week.

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.

An equal performance was turn- edl in by Michigan's Jim Clark, who relieved starter Don Poloskey in the second inning after the lat- ter had allowed two runs. Clark pitched a magnificent ball game in: his relief role, allowing only two hits and striking out five men.
