Melvin Held, Page,
Suffers Fire Loss
PAGE—A fire which burned
his machine shed to the ground
Saturday morning also destroyed
a combine, hay baler, side deliv
ery rake, two wagons and a trac
tor belonging to Melvin Held.
Held, who owns a farm one
mile south of Page and lives in
town, went to the farm to use
the tractor. He attempted to
start the motor in the shed and a
backfire started the blaze.
Because he had no means of
fighting the fire on the farm,
Held went into town for help. By
the time he returned nothing
could be saved. Firemen, how
ever, did prevent the blaze from
spreading to a nearby corn crib.
Held’s insurance covered only
the shed. The equipment was all
reasonably new.

Hope for Polio Control
Increases — Sageser
Increased hope for the eventual
control of polio is reported by
Mrs. Vern Sageser of Amelia,
nealth chairman of the national
home demonstration council, who
has just returned from a five
day polio conference in New York.
Highlight of the proceedings,
Mrs. sageser said, was the session
at which Dr. Jonas E. Salk of the
University of Pittsburg school
of medicine explained the potent
ialities of a trial vaccine against
polio which he developed under
march of dimes grant.
Proved safe on tests on more
than 700 people, including Doctor
Salk s young sons, the vaccine
will be given large-scale validity
trials in many parts of the coun
try before the 1954 polio season,
according to current plans.
Mrs. Sageser stated Doctor
Salk’s work to date indicated that
the trial vaccine against polio has
shown itself capable of increas
ing the amount of antibody level
in the blood.
Field trials are scheduled for
next year, to determine whether
or not this rise in antibody
level is adequate to protect
against paralytic polio.
“A vaccine against polio, when
it is finally developed, holds the
promise of longlasting protection,”
said Mrs. Sageser. “But until the
day when a vaccine is available
for mass distribution, our only
real hope against polio is a tem
porary preventive, gamma glob
ulin—-GG. Reports given at our
women’s meeting indicated that
there would be two times as
much GG available this summer
as there was last summer.”
Mrs. Sageser reported that at
the session devoted to a report on
medical progress, Dr. Hart E. Van
Riper, medical director of the
national foundation, said that "no
body would i claim it was the GG
that reduced the polio cases in
1953, but something did. Compare
the figures of 57,000 polio cases
in 1952 with 35,000 in il953, and
you’ll see there is room for hope.”
At another session. Basil O’
Conner, president of the national
foundation, asserted that “it is
this hope which leads us to plan
to use $26,500,000—over one-third
of the $75,000,000 which we must
raise in the 1954 march of dimes—
!for polio protection. The rest of
this sum will be used to carry
out the national foundation’s basic
progams of patient aid, scientific
research, and professional educa
tion.”
Mrs. Sageser also stated that
the meeting was addressed by
Dr. George Gallup, director,
American Institute of Public O
pinion, and a trustee of the
national foundation. Doctor Gal
lup advised the women that the
American people make their o
pinions with their heads, rather
than their hearts, and predicted
that given facts, they would put
forth the greatest effort yet to
provide the funds for control of
polio.
Helen Hayes, celebrated actress
and national chairman of women’s
activities for the national found
ation, welcomed the delegates to
the meeting. Another highlight
of the gathering was a talk on
“Women, Welfare and the World”
bv Mrs. Lorena B. Hahn, former
Nebraskan, United States repre
sentative to the United Nations
Commission on the status of
women.

Power Problems
to Be Resolved
Sen. Butler Sends
Engineer to State
Sen. Hugh Butler (R.-Nebr.)
has announced that he has called
Elmer K. Nelson, staff engineer
for the senate committee on in
terior and insular affairs, to Ne
braska for consultations with
representatives of the various Ne
braska public power groups, in
cluding the REA’s, in view of
the development of several prob
lems and controversies relating
to the purchase and transmission
of federally developed power by
the various Nebraska organiza
tions. Butler is chairman of the
senate committee by which Nel
son is employed.
“It is obvious that there are
several problems relating to our
use of federal power which must
be straightened out,” Butler said.
“There seem to be two which are
of key importance.
“One is the problem of con
structing transmission lines from
the Missouri river mainstem dams
in South Dakota, so as to get the
power that will be generated by
those dams down into Nebraska.
The other is the problem of giv
ing assurance to Nebraska REA’s
and other consumers that their
expanding future needs for pow
er will be met. This last problem
is tied in to the current interpre
tation of the preference clause.
“The whole problem of analyz
ing power rates and quantities
for our use here is excessively
complicated, particularly when it
comes to predicting future needs
and the terms on which they can
be met from federal power
sources. On the one hand Ne
braska must have large quanti
ties of federal power at the low
est possible cost. On the other
hand we all concede the im
portance of permitting the teder
ai government to recover its
costs.
“I intend to go into the whole
matter very fully with the as
sistance of my staff engineer As
soon as I have the whole picture
I can assure the people of Ne
braska that I will take whatever
action is necessary to see to it
that their needs are taken jare
of.”
Senator Butler had a word of
advice to offer his constituents
in passing judgment on the Harry
Dexter White case, which has at
tracted nationwide attention.
“I would suggest that each of
us decide on the questions that
have been raised in this contro
versy, purely on the basis of the
facts that have been developed,
and ignore the epithets and the
charges of political motivati in,”
Butler said.
“Thus, does the record show
that the FBI gave sufficient
warning to the white house and
the cabinet that Harry Dexter
White was part of an espionage
ring and was a security risk?” he
continued. “The record shows
that on seven different occasions
the FBI specifically cited White
in written memorandums, before
White was appointed a director
of the international monetary
fund.”
