get his first injection in October
Results of the poliomyelitis ses

have come through the season this

to vaccine production. The vac

child unprotected to face next
year's poliomyelitis seaaon.
The federal government hai ap

New Grandfather
Road Link Sought
Blowing Rock ? W. R. Winkler
of Boone, state highway commis
sioner for the district, has under
consideration a proposal for con
struction of a four-mile section of
new road near Grandfather Moun
tain.
Backers say the new road Is de
signed to open a direct route from
the southern and eastern parts of
North Carolina to Eastern Tennes
see.
Commissioner Winkler received
the proposal here during a meeting
with a number of Lenoir and Blow
ing Rock citizens last week.
Supporters said the four-mile
stretch coupled with another pro
posed new section, would provide
a link between Highways 221 and
1M. The latter highway leads into
Highway 1SE and thence to Elisa
HELPFUL DOG
Norfolk, Va. ? Roger Spencer
started taking hia bird dog, Joe,
to the chicken houae when he
went to feed the hens and. gather

began taking the eggs from the
nests and placing them in a cot
ton-lined basket.
Wsshiagton. ? The frwtfcut Ku
passed the first atage of Crisis fol- j
lowing his heart stuck and now
chances are very food that he will
make a complete recovery. This
prospect, which materialized after
Mr Eisenhower survived a two
weeks period, after his initial at
tack, without setback, has seme O
O. P. leaden hopeful Ike will run
again.
The plan this (roup if working
on in one in which Ike could be
persuaded to head the ticket MSt
year at a sort of nominal leader.
He would be assured that moat of
the highly perplexing duties of
the presidency would be taken off
his shoulders during any second
term.
In other words. Ike would have
a group of close advisers who
would do the detailed planning un
der his general direction and who
would make the lesser decisions,
carryitig out his broad philoso
phy. If the President could dele
Kate most of the heavy work load
that goes with the office, he might
be willing to continue as President,
these Republican hopefuls suggest.
Whether this group will succeed
in getting Mr. Eisenhower in the
political csmpaign next year ? as a
candidate for re-election? is a good
queation, although the odds may be
against them right now. When the
time for a final choice comes, how
ever, early next year, conditions
may be different or the President
may feel more hardy.
His followers can hope anyhow.
Meanwhile, over in the Demo
cratic party, therj is growing talk
that Averel Harriman might be
the man to head a stop Kefauver
movement, if Adlai Stevenson takes
himself out of the presidential
nomination picttul. Odds are that
Adlai will not take himself out of
the picture.
Even if the 1952 Democratic
nominee ia a candidate, Harriman
might still be needed to stop Ke
fauver-? in 1 the opinion of some
Democrats. They say Stevenson is
no cinch to get the nomination
again thia year and that if and
when his effort at Chicago faila,
someone must be in position to
head off Kefauver? leat the Ten
neseao grab the nomination on a
popular surge of popularity at the
convention.
Kefauver has always been pop
ular with the delegates and with
the voters. He is not popular with
the political boeaes in the demo
cratic party. Harriman may have
the city leaders lined up pretty
well br eonvewtion time?in the (
eastern metropolitan areas any- <
how. .. ,
Although Harriman recently Mid ,
be vu supporting Stevenson, he ,
more recently uil he w "for ,
Adlai" but would not noces**rily ?
?effort bi"> at Chicago Such a ,
measure of backing to something
of a record in the way of minimum i
support. It would seem. \ I
Bat despite all the talk about i
Harriman and Kefauver at thia I
?tage of the game Adlai Stevenson I
remains the favorite and he will i
gat a large bloc of Midwestern
and Southern votes in the Chicago 1
convention, almost certainly, if he I
does not step aside next month <

Became Vice President Richard
Nixon is the molt active Vice Pres
ident the country hai had for some
time, the incapacitation of Presi
dent Eisenhower has pushed the
Veep Into the national spotlight
more than might have been expect
ed.
The actual "acting President"
of the country, Sherman Adams,
is doing more of the President's
former ipb than is Nixon, but Ad
apts is an appointive officer and
Nixon ia an elected one.
Deapite reports that all is har
mony among the top Eiaenhower
adviaers, Nixon and Adams have
their different opiniona. Yet they
must necessarily work very cloacly
togther. Nixon preaidea at Cabinet
meetings and in the executive de
partment as the number two man
in that branch of thf government
But since Mr. Eiaenhower U
President, Adam*' actions, taken in
hi* behalf, are the official actions
of the President, taking precedence
over all else, including the Vice
President's ? If there were a con
flict There are those who see a
delicate lituation developing here
?should the President suffer a re
