That vaccine was supplied without charge by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis from its March of Dimes funds. A total of 112.115 Minnesota children were vaccinated. This fall that same group of children received second shots, and a total of 106,753 lined up for them. The 5 per cent drop between first and second shots was described as very low by Nelson, who attributed it to moving of families, sickness of children and some loss of interest after the polio season. There were 21 rases of polio among children who.

had received their first vaccination, Nelson reported, with only two cases of paralysis. Among the 33,239 children who could have received the vaccine but didn't, there were 22 cases of polio with It of them paralytic Nelson said. Minnesota's 1355 polio season was light, with 526 cases and eight deaths reported through Dec. 1. Last year there were 621 cases with 15 deaths.

This year there were 72 cases of polio in Minneapolis with two deaths and 43 cases in St. Paul with one death. Dr. Robert Barr, executive officer of the slate health sent out letters last Friday asking members of the vaccine advisory committee to meet at noon today to review the situation. He also asked the state board of health to meet following the advisory committee session to receive its recommendations and possibly reconsider the state vaccine program.

"From reports I have heard In recent weeks about experience throughout the country with the vaccine, I feel that two doses will gh'e high protection against the paralysis of polio," Barr said. "I personally feel that one shot can replace the first two and then the final, or second shot, could be given just prior to onset of the polio season," Barr said. There are four possibilities the board of health might de cide to follow at today's meet ing: CONTINUE the present vaccine program and encourage everyone eligible to have first shots before permitting second shots to be given.

Y. DELINQUENCY HEARINGS WASHINGTON -ONS The senate subcommittee on juvenile delinquency, headed by Sen. Kefauver will open hearings Wednesday In Pittsburgh, Pa. BERLIN (UP) The East German Communists said today that West Ger man barges will lose their permits to supply West Ber lin Dec. 31.

The Reds also set the stage for new interference with highway traffic to the city. The official Communist party newspaper Neues Deutsch- land said the permits used by the barm bringing in one fourth of the city's supplies will lose their validity Dec. 31. Then the Bonn government will have to negotiate with the Communist government, the paper said. At the same time, the East German government instructed its finance ministry to deter mine whether foreign vehicles must have Soviet zone insurance to travel on East German highways to the isolated west-1 ern outpost here.

The "vehicles" Include the vital truck traffic. The constant reference to barge traffic in the Communist press has aroused fears in West Germany that the Communists may begin another blockade of the city, which lies 110 miles inside the Soviet zone of Germany. Western authorities said the Communists might be planning either to ban western vehicles or to impose a heavy new financial burden on truckers by The trucks already pay exorbitant highway tolls. The latest action plainly was a renewed Communist bid to win recognition of the eastern regime. Bonn has refused to negotiate with East Germany on grounds the "German democratic republic" is a puppet state and does not represent the will of the Germans.

Neues Deutschland said the Soviet Zone had the right to control barge traffic to Berlin because the canals leading to the former German capital "run through the sovereign part of Germany, the German democratic republic."

Dulles' statement referred to the Portuguese possession of Goa as a "Portuguese province" directly contrary to the official Indian government viewpoint. American officials said the United States had been gaining from the statements made by the visiting Soviet leaders which embarrassed the Indian government. Now they said only a statement by President Eisenhower could retrieve the situation.

It marked the first time the high court has agreed to review the controversial state laws which restrict unions more sharply than the federal Taft-Hartley and railway labor acts. Seventeen states have such statutes.

Today's case was brought by 16 AFL railroad unions. They appealed a Nebraska supreme court decision that a 1951 amendment to the federal railway labor act is unconstitutional because it permits railroad workers to enter into union shop agreements with their employers. The state court held that this violates the state's "right-to-work" law, which provides that workers have the right to decide for themselves whether they wish to join a union. Under a union shop, all workers are required to join a union 30 days after tftey are employed. In their appeal to the United States supreme court, the unions argued that the state court interfered with congress' power to regulate interstate commerce.

They also noted that the supreme court has never ruled against union shops, which are permitted under the Taft-Hartley act. The supreme court will schedule arguments on the case and hand down its decision later this year. Leaflet Bombing TAIPEI.

"In these meetings," he added, "the rights of minorities holding differing social, economic and political views must be scrupulously protected and their views accurately reflected." Mr. Eisenhower stressed the view that employer and employe must work together for "mutual prosperity." "The splendid record of labor peace and unparalleled prosperity during the last three years," he said, "demonstrates our industrial maturity." Mr. Eisenhower said this came about "against the back-drop of non-interference by government except only to protect the public interest, in the rare cases of genuine national emergency." He called on the delegates, too, and the union members they represent, to think of themselves as citizens first. "The roads you travel, th schools your children attend, the taxes you pay, the standards of integrity in government, the conduct of the public business is your business as Americans," he said.
