-The National Foundation, expanding its research and aid field to cover arthritis and birth defects as well as infantile paralysis, will begin from here Monday its 1959 March of Dimes campaign for $65 million. The University of Michigan, where effectiveness of Salk polio vaccine first was announced in 1955, will be the scene of campaign opening and Dr. Jonas Salk, developer of the vaccine, will be among speakers. The foundation is tying the beginning of its conference campaign in with a national for its teenaged program chairman and a University of Michigan medical symposium. The meetings stretch through Tuesday.

State teen-aged chairmen for the foundation began arriving Saturday and will be welcomed Sunday by Basil O'Connor, president of the National Foundation, which has stricken "for infantile paralysis" from its title in expanding into arthritis and birth defects.
