WASHINGTON (P)-The government authorized yesterday a par-

After rechecking for safety, the Public Health Service approved 11
batches of Salk vaccine made by Parke, Davis Co. of Detroit.

Minnesota supply, officials said, presumably is all right, too. But its
approval is being held up until all the data is in hand.
All told, enough vaccine to inoculate more than 4,000,000 persons
was approved by yesterday's announcement.

Yesterday was Friday, the 13th,
so someone had to be unlucky.
Much to the regret of the Mich-
igan fans, it was the Wolverine
baseball team which was on the
wrdng end of the luck, as they
bowed to Michigan State, 3-0.
OSU in First
Meanwhile, Ohio State edged out
Minnesota, 4-3, to take a hair-
line possession of first place in
the Big Ten baseball standings.
OSU has a percentage of .714,
while Michigan and Minnesota, al-
though they are both a half game
ahead of the Buckeyes, trail with
percentages of .700.
The Michigan-MSC game, mark-
ed by good pitching and tough
breaks, was the Wolverines' third
conference loss of the season.
Michigan State pitcher Walt
Godfrey and Michigan's Marv Wis-
niewski had a scoreless hurling
duel going until the seventh inn-
ing, when the Spartans managed
to push across two runs. These
proved to be more than enough
to win.

MOSCOW-The Soviet govern-
ment announced today Communist
party boss Nikita Khrushchev and
Premier Nilolal Bulganin are go-
ing to call on Yugoslav President
Marshal Tito in Belgrade late this
month.
The meeting would be before
the expected "summit" confer-
ence of Bulganin, President Dwight
D. Eisenhower, British Prime Min
ister Anthony Eden and Premier
Edgar Faure of France.
Tito's independent Communist
nation has been estranged from
the Kremlin since his historio
break with the Soviet-directed
Cominform in 1948.
U.S. Declines Comment
The State Department in Wash-
ington said it had no comment
to make on the development. It
was learned, however, that the
Yugoslav government had advised
the United States yesterday of the
impending meeting and said it re-
flected no change in Yugoslavia's
policy of good and cordial rela-
tions with the West.
The announcement said Krush-
chev and Bulganin would go to
Belgradehwith other Soviet offi-
cials at the end of May.
Tn recent months, however,
there has been a new attitude, with
both sides seeking to "normalize"
relations. Tito-had never ceased
to insist that he would stick up
for his independence.
Improved Relations Hope
The announcement of the Soviet
trek to Belgrade said:
"With mutual desire with the
aim of further improvements in
relations between the two coun-
tries and with the aid of strength-
ening peace, the government of the
Soviet Union and the government
of Yugoslavia have decided to hold
a imeeting. of their representatives
at the highest level."
The announcement listed First
Deputy Premier Anastase Mikoyan,
the Soviet Union's veteran expert
on foreign trade, and the deputy
foreign trade minister, Pavel
Kumyikin, as members of the So-
viet delegation.
Emphasis on Trade
Though Mikoyan recently was
relieved as minister of trade and
made a deputy premier, his in-
clusion indicated trade would be
one of, the main subjects discussed.
The other two members of the
delegation are Deputy Foreign
Minister Andrei Y. Gromyko, And
Dimitri Shipiliev, who is chairman
of the Foreign Affairs Commis-
sion of the Supreme Soviet's
Chamber of Nationalities, or House
of Parliament. Shapiliev also is
editor of Pravda, the Communist
party newspaper.
The high-level session in Bel-
grade was announced as Soviet
Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov
was preparing to leave Warsaw
for Vienna to discuss with West-
ern foreign ministers the expect-
ed meeting at the summit between
Bulganin, President Eisenhower,
Eden and Faure. The. West has
proposed this meeting for July.

BRIDE PREPARES FOR WEDDING:
Michifish Stage Wet Mock
By LOU SAUER
Colored lights flashed on blue-green water last night as Michifish
took its "Big Plunge."
Coeds from the University and varsity swimmers contributed to the
aqua spectacle.
Bleachers at the women's pool were filled, and in spite of the hu-
mid air, everyone seemed to enjoy himself.
"Big Plunge" was the marriage of "the Bride" as played by Cindy
Camp, '57N.
The theme was the bride's preparation for the wedding. Red light-
ing played dramatically on black-suited women while they swam
through their paces in the skit titled "Gloves-Styled for the Occa-
sion."
Other scenes had "the Bride" choosing jewelry, sweaters, beach-
