Goodrich Plants Hit By Walkout
The CIO United Workers struck the B. F. Goodrich Co. in Akron and other plants, while negotiations continue. About 13,000 of 30,000 workers involved in Akron joined the walkout with nine processing rubber plants affected nationwide. Talks in Cincinnati broke off at 1 a.m. and were to resume later. Goodrich offered a 10 cent hourly raise, similar to peers, but the union cites fringe issues including holiday pay and grievance procedures as unresolved. URW president L. S.

Polio Fatalities Rise as Drug Hopes Surface in Texas
Polio killed more Texans over the weekend with Fort Worth City-County Hospital reporting its eighth death and Houston hospitals taking in four more patients. Barry Bishop Jr, son of the U S Embassy press attache in Mexico City, showed some movement after injections of Amodic, a Belgian led iodine derivative by Dr Albert Trencavel, who claims the drug boosts lung blood flow and lymphoid activity when given within 72 hours. The boy’s improvement may be due to natural recovery or the treatment, doctors say, and Trencavel plans a paper on Mexico results.

Military experts warn the combat pay program will require extensive verification and create a long backlog. The plan, approved by Congress, pays 45 a month to veterans who spent six days in each month under enemy fire, retroactive to Korea’s start and costing an estimated 250 to 300 million dollars. Verification rests with commanding officers and unit records, risking ineligible veterans and disputed qualifications among infantry and Marine personnel.
