As a guest of the Secretary of the Navy aboard the USS Albany, Dean Brown observed the training procedures used in teaching the future officers various phases of shipboard routine. Dean Brown will return to the University upon the completion of the cruise Sept. 2. Nearly eight million children in the United States, Canada, and Denmark have received the polio- myelitis vaccine without harmful effect. "This," Dr. Thomas Francis, Jr., University director of the Polio- myelitis Vaccine Evaluation Cen- ter says, "provides additional as- surances that accidents are the exception, not the rule." Editorializing in a special issue of the University's Medical Bulle- tin devoted exclusively to polio- myelitis, Dr. Francis also express- es the opinion that as a disease problem, poliomyelitis has not been over-emphasized. Because the case load has jump- ed to between 35,000 and 50,000 a year, he said he does not believe that the battle against the disease has been exaggerated. Other Diseases Need Research "The fact that other diseases are more prevalent or more severe only indicatesgthat they too need adequate investigation looking to- ward control,"' the doctor says. He states further that despite the outbreak of poliomyelitis among vaccinated children the mass innoculations were not pre- mature. "Too fast? Too soon?" Dr. Francis asks. He answers ques- tions many health officials have been asking by replying that a delay in the vaccination program might have caused a loss of "sig- nificant advantages in the wait- ing." Historically, Dr. Francis de- clares, great medical advances rarely end the way they started. Improvements, refinements, and wisdom are gained along the way. 'Beacon of Assurance' Dr. Francis writes, "A proved product, although not perfected, serves as a beacon of assurance that the objective of protection [louse-Senate Negotiatorsf Reach Housing Bill Accord against poliomyelitis by vaccina- tion can be attained." In reiterating his judgment that the vaccine used in the 1954 field trials was safe, effective and po- tent, he adds that subsequent and continuing follow-ups have not altered his findings in any signifi- cant manner. He comments on the vaccine's apparent ability to provide better protection against Types II and III polio than against Type I. "This appears to have been caused by an unexpected damaging ef- fect of merthiolate used as a preservative in the vaccine," he writes. "Despite these irregularities," he adds, "the conclusion that vac- cine was effective in preventing paralytic poliomyelitis, generally, is firmly grounded." The Medical Bulletin has been sent to nearly ten thousand medi- cal and public health alumni of the University as a review of in- vestigations done in the field of poliomyelitis by University scien- tists. Talbott Quits As Secretary Of Air Force (Continued from Page 1) "I know full well and appreciate deeply," Priesdtn Eisenhower saic, deeply," President Eisenhower said, "the tireless energy and effort you have given to the Air Force. Under your leadership, it has become even stronger in the defense of our nation. Your diligence in the "On behalf of our people and their government, I commend you for your fine accomplishments as secretary. "As a result of public inquiry into your personal business activi- ties, I realize that you have been subjecting yourself and your posi- tion to a most severe and search- ing scrutiny. I, like all others who know you, have been sure that your ultimate decision would ignore any personal desire or in- clination and would demonstrate your devotion to the Air Force and your concern for the security of our country. "Your decision to resign, of course, has been a difficult one for you because there has been no Intimation that your official duties have not been effectively and loyally performed. Neverthe- less, I feelfthat, under the circum- stances, your decision was the right one, and I accept your resignation." MOSCOW FARM-A Russian guide points out crop exhibits to touring American farmers during their visit to Moscow's permanent agricultural exhibition before leaving for the Soviet farm coun- try. The American farmers, guests of Russia while a similar Soviet group studies U.S. farming meth- ods in the midwest, have been enthusiastically questioned during their tour on American agricul- tural and animal raising methods. ONE IN EVERY ROOM NEXT? Two TV Sets Found in Many Detroit Homes Typewritig Expert Set For Lecture George L. Hossfield, ten times winner of the world's professional typewriting championship, will discuss the trend to electric type- writers in modern business edu- cation at 10 a.m. today in Rm. 2019, University High School. His topic will be "Modern Training and Teaching Methods to Develop Typing Skill." Hossfield, who predicts that within the next ten years 85 per cent of all typewriters used in business will be electric models, will emphasize the ease of transi- tion from manual typewriters to electrics when proper teaching techniques are used. An author, lecturer and con- sultant on typing methods, Ross- field is director of Underwood Corporation's Teachers Advisory Service. He has lectured in schools, col- leges, universities and at business teachers conventions throughout the United States and Canada. His appearance here will be part of a lecture-demonstration tour. He established a record of 143 net words a minute for one hour to win his first World's Profes- sional Championship. A surprisingly high proportion About three-fourths of families of Detroit area families have two who earned less than $2,000 in or more television sets in their 1954 have TV, while 96 per cent homes, according to a recent Uni- 15 hae TV, mhie 96 per of those making more than $6,000 versity survey. have a set.

The study also found that there is a noticable tendency for fami- lies with minor children to be more likely to have TV than are those without children. 1, "g t (Continued from Page 1) its for the Senate alone, it adopt- d and hustled to the senators by inanimous voice vote a resolution o finance Congress this year on he same basis as last year.

On other issues, Congress did make some progress through the pile of legislation still on the schedule. Rival Senate and House meas- ures to provide some degree of free polio shots for children wentj to a Senate-House Conference Committee for drafting of a com- promise. Another set of conferees okayed a bill to extend the defense pro- duction law. It forbids dollars-a- year men borrowed from industry and business to hold policy-mak- ing jobs in the defense mobiliza- tion program. The decision to keep Congress working at least another day breathed new life into fading hopes for some legislation. Sen. Fulbright (D-Ark.) had blocked immediate consideration of legislation to extend the sugar quota law, with major changes, for four years. Now it may get another chance. MSU .Plans Curriculum LANSING W)A - Plans for a Michigan State University high- way traffic school were disclosed yesterday by Secretary of State James M. Hare. University officials said no an- nouncement of the school's estab- lishment has yet been made. ButHare issued a formal state- ment at the capitol which said, "This program, as visualized by Michigan State University, would offer credit courses in traffic problems, in-service training for persons in traffic work and would be able to offer counseling to towns and counties needing spe- cial help and to do basic research. "It would seem obvious that the center of the automotive industry should also be the center of uni- versity training as it affects high- way safety," Hare said. "This plan was initiated.in 1953 and its ful- fillment becomes more urgent daily as our accident rates rise. Prof. Hammett To Give Talk To Architects Prof. Ralph W. Hammett of the architecture college will present a surve'y of the architectural achievements of European coun- tries since World War II to the Twelfth Annual Midsummer Con- ference of the Michigan; Society of Architects Saturday on Macki- nac Island. Prof. Hammet will base his address on material resulting from a sabbatical year spent in Europe. His research covered new con- struction in Spain, Italy, France and Scandinavian countries. Other features of the confer- ence are an open meeting of the Society's Board of Directors Fri- day, a display of twelve paintings entitled "Adventures in Times" which recently completed an exhi- bition at the Detroit Historical Museum, and the awarding of a trophy to the "Architect of the Year." 'UT' Student Wins Math Exam Prize Gary N. See, '57, has been awarded a $100 prize in the 1955 .general mathematics examination sponsored by the Society of Actu- aries. See was one of nine winners throughout the United States and Canada. The Society annually gives a series of prizes to the top-ranking candidates on its general mathe- matics examination. First prize of $200 was won by David Adler of Rensselaer Poly- technic Inustitute. Seven others besides See received $100 awards. The study report suggests that this is a natural situation as one- set ownership appears to have reached the saturation point. It was found that what was true in 1954 still holds sway - 87 per cent, or about nine in every ten, of all the area's families have TV. Inevitable Proportion While the one-set total may in- crease slightly it is reasonable to expect, the report continues, that in a large and varied urban popu- lation about a tenth of the fami- lies, for personal or economic rea- sons, will never have TV. The 87 per cent ownership is a tremendous increase over 1950 when the United States Census found that only one in every four families had TV. In fact the report states that this is probably one of the most rapid rates of adoption of a major invention ever experienced in the modern community. By age agroups, 90 per cent of persons from 25 to 59 have TV, with this percentage declining somewhat for persons 60 and over. Only 70 per cent of persons under age 25 have television, however. 1I A' ll TH'gE BOY COAT STORY * any way it's told, it's the campus favorite It's the boy coat any way you look at it, in whatever soft wool fabric or luscious texture you choose back-belted and pearl-buttoned, more important now than ever!
