(AP Wirephoto direct to The Argus-Leader), Giant Trap Is Planned To Catch fSea Serpents' This Is a deep canyon connecting the Palliser Bay end of the strait with the Pacific Ocean.

BE REPLACED BY BRUCKER Compelling Personal Con siderations Reason for Resignation Washington, June 22 (JP) Robert T. Stevens resigned today as secretary of the Army, and President Eisenhower nominated Wllber M. Brucker, general counsel of the Defense Department, to succeed him.

Stevens gave "compelling per sonal considerations" as his reason for quitting. He was a princi pal in last year's row between Sen. McCarty (R-Wls) and top Pentagon officials, but neither he nor Eisenhower, who accepted the resignation today, made any reference to that spectacular event Brucker, a former governor of Michigan, has been general counsel at the Pentagon since April, 1954. He will be 61 tomorrow. His home Is In The White House announced Stevens' resignation and made public a letter in which the President accepted "with deep regret" Just before Eisenhower left on a six-day tour of New England.

Stevens' resignation came a year after his spectacular clash with McCarthy over the question of alleged subversion In the Army and of asserted favored treatment for a one-time McCarthy aide. O. David Schlne. 1 Previously the Army's general counsel, John O. Adams, quit his post in the aftermath of the hearings', and so did McCarthy's top aide, Roy M.

Former Governor Brucker was governof of Michigan from January, 1931, to the end of Decemer, 1932. previously he was Michigan's attorney general, and from 1923 to 1926 was prosecuting attorney of Michigan's Saginaw County. A native of Saginaw, Brucker Is a Republican.

So Is Stevens. In his letter of resignation Stevens said he first brought to the attention of the President fe weeks ago" the personal con siderations he said have dictated his decision to resign. Letter Quoted Stevens letter continued: i "I have c6nferred with Mr. Wilson and believe I can accomplish what you and he desire of me before the end of July. "If this is satisfactory to you, I will be guided accordingly and will work out the precise date of my resignation with Mr, Wilson who, I am sure, will keep you Informed.

"I cannot submit my resignation without expressing my profound admiration of your leadership during these last two and a half years and my deep appreciation of the opportunity you accorded me to serve the country, and your administration' during this same period. I shall always be grateful for this chance to serve our great army and for your never falling support. "I leave with real regret. 1 would like to carry on as a member of your team. Only personal considerations have decreed It otherwise.

"I am sure you know that will always be willing to be of service to you, if the occasion should arise." Accepting the resignation "with deep regret" Eisenhower said in a letter to Stevens he was "indeed sorry that you find it necessary at this time -to return to private life." Eisenhower started his letter "Dear Bob." BILL FOR NEBRASKA FLOOD JOB OFFERED Washington, June 22 (JP) Rep.

OPINION AT HOUSE SIFT Denies Serum Hurts Kidneys; Others Doctors Express Doubts Washingtqn, June 22 (JP) Dr. Jonas E. -Salic said today that children "properly vaccinated" against polio do not transmit the disease to others. He declared that contraction of polio through association with children who already have received Salk immunity injections "Is so highly improb able as hardly to merit con sideration." The question of "association cases'" arose as Dr. salk, developer of the vaccine, appeared in company with 14 other of the nation's foremost polio authorities before a House Commerce Subcommittee.

"It is clear that children who receive properly prepared vaccine do not transmit disease to adults, because they do not have the disease," Salk told the congressmen. Then under further questioning by Rep. Hayworth (D-Mich) who said authorities of one New Jersey community ordered vaccinated children to keep away from school as potential carriers of polio, Dr. Salk declared there was no evidence to support association contraction. "Not if the children receive properly prepared vaccine," he said." But Dr.

Salk conceded there seems to be an association" between contraction of polio by others who have come In contact with children receiving improperly made vaccine. Public Health Service statistics on polio incidence have shown a considerable number of cases among persons associating with others who have received vaccine, Earlier in the hearing the question was raised whether the Salk vaccine as now manufactured might produce kidney ailments. Dr. Salk said he had determined experimentally that it would not have any effect on the human kidney. But doubts were expressed by some other physicians among 15 outstanding researchers in the field of virus medicine.

Chairman Priest (D-Tenn) of the House group arranged the session with the idea, he said, of "creating a renewed and well-informed confidence in the The discussion developed that some residual protein from monkey kidney material remains in the vaccine under present manufacturing processes. The polio virus needed for the vaccine is grown in monkey kidney.
