Reporter Tells Of Party Work
New York Times reporter Charles Grutzner testified before the Senate Internal Security subcommittee that he was a Communist in the 1930s and quit in 1940, saying the party wasn’t run on democratic principles. Grutzner named Nat Einhorn as his recruiter and Gladys Bentley as a Communist colleague, while stressing his civil rights work in housing and race matters. Weingarten, another witness, refused to discuss others and faced possible contempt penalties if he persisted. The hearing focused on Burdett’s testimony naming several 1930s Communists.

Public Health Expects To Judge Salk Program Results
A Public Health Service doctor said it may be possible to judge the Salk polio vaccine program by this year’s experience. Dr. Carl Dauer noted early data are unclear on whether 1955 will show a large or small number of polio cases. He cited 1953’s 40 percent drop as needing at least a 50 percent decrease to infer from raw state figures. Through July 25, polio cases rose slightly to 277, with 11 states reporting 20 percent or more above any comparable period in the prior three years.
