r EDITORIALS Professors and Shelters A proup of Princeton University pro , feasors, in an open letter to President John F. Kennedy, has raised a basic question con cerning bomb shelters. About a hundred Princeton and Institute For Advanced ... Study professors signed the letter. Among other things the letter argued that Russia would not sit idly by while the United States built an underground shelter system. It also argued that by building ' such a system the government would condi tion the American people to the possibili ties and acceptance of nuclear war and ni1 make it more probable. The professors called concentration on '. a shelter program the channeling of the ; people's energy in the wrong direction, for the wrong reasons and also concluded that ' a nuclear war "is highly .unlikely." ; The letter is disturbing because it is "...iioth unrealistic and idealistic, and refuses to face the basic facts of life, and history. The United States must think about, and build shelters, since war is a possibility. We need not argue how much of a chance there is war will erupt. That does not mat ter. As long as there is a chance, and as long as the people are better off in shelters than without them, the shelters should be built. In summary, the more prepared we are for war, the better our chances of surv ival, the least likely we are to be attacked. The history of aggressor nations teaches nothing more clearly than that the weak and the unprepared invite aggression and that weakness, unpreparedness and appeasement- cause wars and encourage at tacks from aggressors. r Down Memory Lane 40 YEARS ACO "Mr. 'and Mrs. Stibbs Milady Was Well Shod in THE BilUMsii CE SHOE GROUP NO. 4 Uee tiltouii.

Men would get on the train when it stopped at a cross ing, break open cars and steal considerable merchandise, throwing it out of the car and later picking it up. Armed guards have been put on these trains with instructions to shoot all trespassers, so it is not safe for one to attempt to get on these trains except at depots."

Have You Hud Your Polio Shots? Ry State of Nebraska Department of Health With the organization of the March of Dimes sponsored by the National Foundation for In fantile Paralysis, i n c r e ased funds for polio research and for care of patients became avail able in, 1938. Through the generous giving of our citizens it was possible for the Salk and other vaccines to be developed and tested. In 1953, the vaccine was approximately 80 percent effective in prevent ing paralytic polio, despite the fact that most inoculated chil dren received only an incom plete series of shots before the height of the polio season. Comparatively few people who have had the full four-shot series contract the disease. Some do not respond to any vaccine. For others, the vaccine is given too late after the virus is already in their systems or is given when polio iscn the rise in their com munities. The three known types of polio virus are grown and inactivated to prevent passing on the disease when used to stimulate the human body to produce its own polio-fighting antibodies. March of Dimes research is continuing to improve the vac cine; to find how long its effects last, the best times and sizes of doses, the number of booster shots needed; and to support Dr. Sabin's continuing studies of the live virus vaccine which has now been licensed in the United States. Patient care for those who were handicapped before the advent of Salk vaccine remains a heavy expense for The Na tional Foundation as it is now known. In its broad, expanded program arthritis, birth defects virus diseases and disorders of the central nervous sy.stem are li-cluded with poiio. The polio job must be finished first. Have you had your shots this year? Polio is no respector of persons! Cunningham PSedgcs FisiU To Get Rea's OH Free Mai! List Washington, D. C liep. Glenn Cunningham (R-Nebr.) said today he will Work Tri' the'"Poat Office Committee and on the floor of the House to amend the proposed postal rate bi'l to in clude his amendment banning the free delivery of Communist propaganda by the Post Office. Cunningham's amendment was adopted by the Post Office Com mittee as part of last year's rate bill, but a new rate proposal is beinp: urged by the Administra tion this year. Cunningham said tcclay, "It is unthinkable that tho Congress should even consider raising postal rates fcr Americans whi'e the Pest Office delivers free millions cf pieces of Communist political propaganda in this ccun-u-y." Cunningham last year also in troduced separate legislation banning the free deiivery of Communist propaganda and said tcday he hopes fcr early hear ings on this bill. "But if the Con gress is going to force the Amer ican people to pay higher post age for everything they mail, it only makes sense to cut out the subsidy we are giving the Com munists by delivering their anti American propaganda," he said.
