THIS IS SUPPOSET TO BE SPORT-A young member of
the Communist “New Democratic Youth League.’’ in Chungking,
China, learns to assemble a parachute harness. The trainee then
gets a chance to try out the mechanism by dropping from a 200-
foot training tower. The training is supposed to be nonmilitary
and intended only to develop self-reliance and interest in air
sports. Picture from NBC-TVs “Inside Red China.”
Dr. Jonas E. Salk of University of Pittsburgh reads results of new
polio color test developed in his laboratory under a March of Dimes
grant. Color system determines presence of polio virus and level of
polio-fighting antibodies in human blood. New test is faster than
older method, using roller drum, shown at right. Both systems are
being used in the evaluation of the Salk polio vaccine, which also
was developed under research grants from March of Dimes tunds.

ARMED FORCES “NEW LOOK”—One of the first things President Eisenhower would like the
84th Congress to consider is his new plan for the U. S. military. The Administration puts initial
emphasis on atomic rather tnan conventional weapons, and *his would drop military manpower,
chiefly in the Army ground forties, as shown on above Newschart. As originally scheduled the
total manpower is to be reduced from 3,318.000 to 2,815,000 over a three-year period. The Air
Force is the only branch which will increase Its personnel (14,000) during the period. Number of men
in each branch of the Armed Forces is shown within bars.
