WI thing that continues to im-
press us is the manner in which
4-11 club and FM members have
always seemed so appreciative of
the things that are done for them
This has been true for all the
ytas we have known such club
members We have received more
letters from 4-11 club members for
the little things our newspaper has
done for them than from any other
group
We have heard other business
men say the same thing—that they
do not take cooperation for granted
Typical of this action is the letter
that Harold Carter president of the
chamber of commerce received this
week from Rose Mary Shanahan of
the Vinita 4-11 club She writes:
"I wish to thank you and all
members of the Vinita Chamber of
Commerce for the fine work in
sponsoring the 4-H Club Fat Barrow
Show on March 19th 1957
"It is through the active interest
of line organizations like the Cham-
ber of Commerce that 4-H Club
members get encouragement and
inspiration
"I and my associate 4-H Club
members will try in the world of
tomorrow to repay you and your or-
ganization by being good citizens
and help to build a better America
'Any time that we can assist you
ill any way please do not hesitate to
call on us"

Needy To Get
Medical Aid
Free Program Scheduled
To Be Launched July
A free r wdical program for the
needy in Craig and all other coun-
ties of Oklahoma will be launched
July 1 under provisions of a law
passed by congress providing federal
matching funds on a 50-50 basis
Eligible for the program will be
those receiving old-age assistance
aid to dependent children aid to
the blind and aid to the totally and
permanently disabled
The program will cost more than
$800000 a month The state will
pay $412656 a month or $4951872
a year with the U S goveinment
paying an identical amount
In Oklahoma City L E Rader
public welfare director was quoted
as saying that Oklahoma is launch-
ing the program rather than give
persons on assistance coils a $3-amonth
increse
Needy persons will receive twice
as much benefit under the medical
program as through a cash increase
he said since federal matching
money would not be available for
a pension increase
Also the program will have to
be carried on separately from the
regular assistance
Rader said limits must be set on
the free medical care going to any
one person but that this has not
been worked out He expects guid-
ance on this from federal officials
next month

THE VONITA LE
Committee To
Probe Union
Welfare Funds
House Labor Group Will
Prevent 'Pillaging' By
Racketeers Chairman Says
WASHINGTON March 28 Clo— I
The house labor committee voted to 11
day to investigate union uellare
funds to prevent their "pillaging"
by racketeers
The house conunittee's decision
came as the senate rackets commit-
tee recessed temporarily in its in-
vestigation of the giant Teamsters
union
Chairman Graham A Barden (D-
N C said the house investigation
would be no "sideshow" to the sen-
ate inquiry
Nor he added will it be "puni-
tive" to labor
Barden said the purpose will be
to draf t legislation to protect the
rights of 'wol hers in welfare funds
to which they are required to con-
tribute In many stat 3 he said
these funds are inadc4iately po-
liced Ile said these funds total per-
haps more than $35 billion
Needed Job
''We want to get a job done that
I think needs to be done" Barden
said
The senate investigation reached
a climax this week when Teamsters
boss Dave Beck refused on grounds
of possible self-incrimination to an-
swer charges that he "may have
misappropriated" more than $322-
000 of union money
Beck said in claiming the protec-
tion of the Fifth Amendment that
he expects to be prosecuted on in-
come tax charges When he is Beck
said he will answer in court ques-
tions he refused to answer before
the senate committee
No date was set for the opening
hearing of the house investigation
but Barden said the committee staff
has already begun preparations
Democratic and republican commit-
tee members alike pressed for an
early start on the hearings No list
of witnesses was made public
Expects Indictment
Beck's attorney Arthur D Con-
don said he expects the Teamsters
chief to be indicted on charges of
income tax violation "at any time
now" Condon told the United Press
he believes a federal grand jury in
Seattle will act soon against Beck
However in Seattle Federal Dist
Atty Charles Moriarty said he knew
of no forthcoming indictmen t
against Beck He said a regular fed-
eral grand jury will be summoned
ill June "in the normal course of
events"
The internal revenue service re-
fused to comment on whether it
plans to act against the burly Team-
ster boss A spokesman said only
that action against anyone is cus-
tomarily taken in the district where
the individual pays taxes For Beck
this is Seattle

NEW YORK March 28 (UP) —
A shortage of Salk vaccine has de-
veloped in the United States on
the eve of a new polio season
Are frightened parents tearing
hair to get their Johnny first into

!wads to roll?
There is barely a ripple of alarm
Parents whose children have re-
ceived Dr Jonas Salk's cherry-
colored creation feel secure Mil-
lions of others who have not had
shots for themselves or their chil-

mistakenly—thinking that polio no
longer is a menace Officials em-
