Considers Health In Industrial Expansion British Are Pressing For Soviet Trade London, March 30 British press kept up its campaign today for relaxation of controls on trade with the Soviet bloc. Their chief target was U. S. foreign aid chief Harold Stassen, meeting here with British and French officials on the issue.

Pushing to leave for Washington tonight, Stassen saw Chancellor of the Exchequer Richard A. Butler this morning and then went into joint talks with the British and French officials. Stassen had come here Saturday to appeal against anv radical changes in the restrictions. Both the British and French governments are under considerable pressure from trade-hungry businessmen for relaxation of the bans.

According to the sheriff, two 14-year-old boys admitted breaking into the former Parnett slaughter house on Route 209 between Kingston and Hurley and causing an estimated $250 worth of damage. Two other boys, one 14 and the other 15, allegedly stole tools belonging to the contractor on the state Thruway in the Ardonia area.

Such action on the part of the "oard of health would require a New York, March 30 virtual shutdown of New multi-million-dollar port operations continued today, but the International Longshoremen's Assn. faced legal troubles from many directions in its 26-day strike. Morning reports indicated that fewer dock workers were on the job than yesterday, when the total was put at 3,915. Police estimated about 2,526 were handling cargo on New York piers today. Across the Hudson River in New Jersey, about 900 were said to be at work.

The port paralysis is the result of a showdown battle for waterfront representation between the independent ILA and AFL International Assn. Refuse to Work A few AFL men have gone through ILA picket lines, but most have refused to do so. Another AFL marine honored the picket lines in Brooklyn this morning. About 150 warehouse workers were involved. ILA pickets changed tactics at another spot, on the Manhattan waterfront, where AFL men have been going through their lines.

When the AFL workers arrived this morning, they found pickets carrying American flags instead of placards. The AFL men went on to work as usual. Faces These Factors City, state and federal governments all are seeking to halt the port tieup. and today the ILA found itself facing these factors in its bitter battle for survival: 1. A federal grand jury probe of the waterfront dispute.

Under special scrutiny is an alleged conspiracy between some employers and the ILA to keep off the piers those AFL men willing to work. Also to be checked is support given strikers by ILA tugboat crews. 2. A federal court trial in which the ILA, eight of its locals and three local officers are accused of contempt of federal court. The trial goes into its second day after ILA attorneys failed to win a de(Continued on Page 8 Col 3) Killed in Action, Is Official Report CPL.

Details of Ulster Vaccine Trials To Be Planned on Thursday Administrative details for the polio vaccine trials in Ulster county will be worked out at a meeting of physicians, school and health department personnel at Kingston High School on Thursday evening, Dr. Dudley W. Hargrave, county health commissioner, announced today.

The trial involves the inoculation of first, second and third grade pupils in all Ulster county schools, public, private and parochial. Ulster is one of 20 New York state counties selected for the trials, which will take place this spring and summer. Dr. Hargrave has invited physicians, teachers of the first three grades, the school superintendents, nurses, and representatives of Ulster County Chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile the state Department of Health may also attend, he said. Personnel of the Ulster County Department of public health nursing, sanitation and clerical divisions will also be in attendance.

Details to be worked out include the distribution of forms for the necessary permission, timing of the inoculations, record keeping and the like. One-half of the children will receive injections of the new polio vaccine, and the other half will receive a harinless suhstance, in the test to determine the effectiveness of the vaccine which authorities hope will be key to the eventual stamping out of polio. No one taking part in the trials, not even the doctors giving the vaccine, will know which children receive the vaccine and which the control substance.

In a special message dealing with the politically explosive issue of import duties and laying down the foreign economic policy of his administration, Eisenhower also; 1. Called for cutting down aid to other countries, and an end to outright grants of economic aid as soon as possible. 2. Gave assurances that increased trade in peaceful goods between the west and Iron Curtain countries not cause us undue 3. Asked that Congress ease up on laws which give prefefence to domestic firms over foreign competitors on some government or government financed purchases.

Important sections of the gram may be heading into legislative quicksand. on Progress For the message goes pretty much down the line of recommendations of a special commission on foreign economic commission whose report was so loaded with dissents as to raise grave doubts as to how far its proposal should get in Congress. Those same doubts still apply now that Eisenhower has accepted the suggestions in general, bundled them together into a message, and asked Congress to do something about them. Many members of the own party in the Senate and House adhere to the historic GOP position that tariffs should be kept relatively high to protect domestic industry against cheap imports. The commission, headed by Clarence Randall of Chicago, president of Inland Steel turned in its report Jan.

The core of the report and tha Eisenhower message is a recommendation for a three-year extension of the reciprocal trade agreements law which expires June 12 and for expanded authority for the President to negotiate tariff adjustments with other countries on a give and take basis. Unity In Question Randall told reporters at briefing session that the commission supported this part of the program 14-3. The singular thing, he said, the dissent but the degree of unity on a highly controversial subject. But the severity and source of the objections are significant, too, they came from members of Congress who will have a vital role in deciding the fate of tariff legislation: Chairman Daniel A.
