I• gab to name Dr. Jonas E. Balk as the Man-of-the-Year.
With the reading in Ann Arbor on April 12th of his 113
M|* report, Dr. Thomas Francis, Jr.,* of the University of
Michigan, who evaluated the most massive field trials In
tha history of medicine, the world learned that poliomye-
litis can be, and will be licked. ....
In essence, the detailed study of the 1994 trails, involving
the vaccination of 440,000 children in the 44 states with
three eeparat* Inoculations of the Salk vaccine, has estab-
lished the effectiveness of the preventive treatment at 60
t* •• percent. New data presented subsequently by Dr. Salk
*n both the processing of the vaccine and the method of
administering Indicate increasing effectiveness from here on.
At the President’s direction, machinery was swiftly set
in motion to share the Salk discovery with the world and to
formulate plans for proportional distribution throughout
the U. B. and the prevention of black marketing of the vac-
cine. While it is not expected that we can produce enough
of this precious fluid to ship any quantity abroad before
1967, Secretary of 8tate John Faster Dulles will send copies
of the Ann Arbor report and full data on the Salk vaccine
to our diplomatic headquarters in 75 foreign nations, includ-
ing our embassies in Poland and Russia — whence the In-
formation will undoubtedly go to Red China.
But, admidst the rejoicing, we should bear In mind two
Important points. First, because Dr. Salk’s great gift to
humanity Is not yet 100 percent effective, and because it
will be a long time before all of our young people and expect-
ant mothers can be inoculated, hundreds more are yet to
be stricken down by this dread disease. And second, for
thousands of those now suffering from polio, the battle can
never be won.
Here, as with every epoch-marking advance, the suffer-
ing 9t those r?ho were born too soon is etched all the sharper
against this background of immunity for others.
SHE Thought of if First
Bu second annual "Gripe and* Growl" dinner of the
Gourmet Society (composed of people who take their eat-
ing mighty seriously) recently gave diners-out a chance to
sound off on restaurant operation. In rebuttal, the opera-
tors said what they thought of their customers.
Surprisingly enough, most of the complaints didn’t con-
dem food. Table-settings and service took their share of
criticism.
Guido Fusco, vice-president of the Restaurant League of
New York, who has been in the business since he was a boy,
teed off on the bad habits of diners. Poor service Is their
fault, he said, and due. more than anything else, to Indis-
criminate tipping. He reminded the distinguished knlfe-
and-fork wielders before him that a tip is supposed to be
given in recognition for service, and that there's no law that
says a tip should be 15 or 20 percent or the tab.
On the other hand, one of the gourmets complained
about being "intimidated” by tip-hungry waiters, who
snatched his plate away from him before he was through
with It.1 A fellow gourmet, however, told him this wouldn't
happen if he put his knife across his plate "from 6 to 12
o’clock” as a signal that he had finished.
A bachelor gourmet, annoyed by women diners who can’t
deelde what they want to eat, spoke up in defense of t h e
waiter. When a woman starts changing her mind, "even a
good patient waiter is fit to be tied’’.
To a lsdy gourmet, food was not all. She looked for
graeious table-settings Just as much as triumphs from the
euisine. She lost her appetite, she said, when she found a
bent fork or a discord of four or five different patterns of
silver-ware on the table. And we blush to think what might
have said about a cracked cup or a chipped plate. In her
plea for attractive tables, the lady dropped a minor bomb-
shell. “After all,” »he Innocently remarked, "It’s often the
woman's idea to eat out. Restaurants should cater to her.”
We had thought all along that it was the gallant male
the eager-beaver suitor, the solicitous bridegroom, or the in-
dulgent pater-famillM — who always asked, "How about
eating out?”
But now we learn la gourmesse (If that’s the feminine'
was on firm ground. There’8 been a survey made by The In-
ternational Silver Company.. It reveals that about sever
times out of ten, eating out is the woman’s idea. The thin*
no survey will ever tell us, however. Is how the gals make u
men think we were the ones who suggested it.
But at least we know now we’d better take ’em soim
place where they aet a pretty table.

CHAPTER U-NR
KERRY put his horse in the cor-
ral and started stowJy for the
house. Tha last of a red sunrise
was fading to faint pink along the
eastern rim. A light, fresh, breeze
was blowing, with a sweet smell
of sage on it. It was going to De
a beautiful day—or it would be
but for three things. Kerry had a
hangover, his pockets were empty,
and the third thing he was trying
not to think of till he had to.
Sandy Weaver came out of the
bunkhouse and put up a hand in
greeting. "HI, Kerry!’’
“Hi!”
"Where you been the last three
days?"
"Town.”
“Last Chance or the Palace?”
Sandy grinned.
"Both.”
“Musi a been a big time."
Sandy's grin widened as he looked
Kerry over.
He wasn’t bad to look at, even
with rumpied clothes and hair, red-
dened eyes and a three-day beard.
A long, slim youngster in his early
twenties-, light in build but with
tough muscles and « lithe, springy
way ot moving. The blood of his
Irish forebears showed in curly,
almost blue-black near, in eyes
that were startlingly blue against
ms weather-darkened tace, in his
quick, devil-rney-care smile. But
he wash t smiling now.
Sandy’s grin widened. "Rob was
paWm* up the ground when you
didn't come home."
"Figured ne would be," Kerry
agreed tonelessiy. "Reckon 1 might
as well go up to the house and get
tt over with.”
The thought of what be knew
was coming slowed Kerry’s feet.
It always followed the same pat-
tern. Rob would be waiting and at
first sight he'd start in on him,
leading from demands about where
he'd been and what ne'd been do-
ing to blistering comments on nis
general wo “hlessnesa And Ker-
ry’s temper would flare tnto hot
retorts, till pretty soon they were
Doth shouting all the nurtful things
they could think ol Then tor days
Rob would be going around in one
of his , black moods. And Kerry
lounging about the place, idle and
insolent and provocative, to show
he didn't care.
•'Maybe if 1 hadn't grown up
around Rob, 1 wouldn't have so
many ef his habita," he told him-
scii, in sullen acii-jusuui.u„u... uui
his fundamental honesty wouldn't
le: the excuse stand. Rob had built
Broken Spur up from a two bit
spread to an outfit known and
spoken of respectfully wherever
cattlemen gathered. And he’d never
let his nell-ralslng interfere with
his keeping a firm hand on the
reins of the ranch, even with a
foreman as reliable as old Sandy.
Whereas ne, Kerry, had never
done anything but live on Rob's
charity since the day thirteen
years back when Rob nad found
him huddled by his dead mother's
body in a broken-down prairie
schooner, and carried him home to
Broken Spur, as he might have
carried a stray pup. A stray who'd
somehow drifted into the position
of Rob's foster son. Yes, Rob cer-
tainly bad a right to expect him
to earn his keep. Well, why didn't
he say so? Why didn't he iell him
to buckle down to work or clear
out? In all the bitterness of their
endless, quarrels, Kerry's depend-
ence was one thing Rob nad never
thrown up at him, and sometimes
Kerry found himself unreasonably
resenting that lone piece ol for-
bearance.
H* closed the front door quietly,
but not quietly enough. Rob had
ears like an Indian s. As Kerry
took hi* first step down the hall,
a voice rapped out, “That you,
Kerry?' and without waiting for
an answer, "Come in here!”
Kerry entered the living room
and stood lounging against the
door-trame. His nerves were tense,
but his pose flaunted a careless
ease more challenging than pl&Ui
defiance would have been. “Well,
Rob, the bad penny's turned up
again."
“About time!" the older man
rasped. “Where've you been?”
“I was In town." Kerry laid the
words down flat. Rob’s lips tight-
ened.
"Good. Then I suppose I’ll have
to smooth down the sheriff again.
Though, if vou've got yourself in
another mess, f*ve got a good nypd
to let you try to squirm out of it
by yourself this time. Maybe see-
ing the inside ot a jail would knoSk
some sense into your head.’’
That threat had an old familiar
ring to it. Kerry knew Rob would
never act on it. He also knew it
was true that he d have ended
more than one of his sprees be-

mnu cuts except for Rob’s influ-
ence. Sheriff Lacey Parran knew
on which side his bread was but-
tered.
“Sorry to disappoint you,” he
drawled, “but ail I did this time
was play poker.’’
"How much did you lose?”
“How you know I lost?”
"Does Vt take much guessing.
You always lose. How much?"
“Two hundred,” he admitted re-
luctantly.
“Could you pay it 7”
"All but a nundred and fifty."
Kerry s grin felt forced and stiff.
He knew what came next, and it
bothered him worse than Rob's
tongue-lashing.
The boss ot Broken Spur rose
front the couch and left the room
with his long, smooth stride. Kerry
could hear him in the office, open-
ing the safe where he kept the
pay-roll, in a moment he was
back, wordlessly tossing a handful
ot crisp greenbacks onto the table.
Reluctantly, Kerry's fingers
closed over them. “Thaqhfc, Rob.”
He wished desperately that ne
could have just let them he there
—but a poker c.ebt bad to be paid.
And at the same time, ne felt the
need to express something more
than bare, grudging acknowledg-
ment—but the words stuck in his
throat
Rob sank back onto the couch.
Over the rim ot his glass, his
eyes, wide-open, not and steel-
bright, pinned themselves on Ker-
ry’s face.
"We had a visitor yesterday. Or
anyway, 1 did. At least, she said
she came to see me.’’
“She?"
“The Toiend girl.
Just the sound of the name
brought to Kerry's mind the pic-
ture ot Christie as he'd seen her
last, ner silvery-fair hair shining
in the tun and her blue eyes
sparkling like tee, as she'd sat her
big sorrel, tali and straight as a
man. and denounced him'. The rush
ot anger that came with the mem-
ory couldn’t blot out how beauti-
ful she'd looked, and Kerry fought
down a wild, unreasonable hope.
“What did she want?”
“She sant the old man sent hei
to talk about arrangements for
round-up. He's laid up again. But
she seted kind of disappoints
when she found out you weren'
abound."

presented to Congress by the United States Chamber of Comm!
Specifically, the Chamber is against a proposal to set up a “S«

The Chamber, reflecting the views of businessmen, said it bell

• SECURITY AND POLITICS—Jhe Democrats are getting n
to capitalize on new political issue handed to them on a silver pH
by—of all people—President Eisenhower.
The issue is that while the Pentagon was clamping down In
name of security the information they can give newsmen, it
okayed use of previously secret military data for use of GOP <
paigners for Congress. The material was prepared to answer D«
cratlc charges that Republicans have weakened defense through
drastic spending cuts. '
The GOP pamphlet gave out information on several new roc
and rocket engines which newsmen had not been allowed to j
about.
Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson’s ntw information-secu
assistant, Robert T. Ross, said there w-re soma slips in the docuf

He said the document was "on the whole reassuring."
However, President Eisenhower said it was a blunder and eonU
