Hunter, county health ■ officer, said today that the annual vaccination clinics in Harnett will begin the second week in May.

Vaccinations to prevent diphther ia, whooping cough, tetanus (lock ja«) and small pox will be given. " w , i Dr. Hunt«r4x>lMad out that the. \ power ■pyhpevcntative medicine has been demonstrated dramatically by the elimination of typhoid fever by mass vaccination. The disease ‘ is now so rare that vaccination is not considered mandatory, but will be given to any who desire it. He noted than nine children in North Carolina died last year from diphtheria and that the toxoid should be given to all children at the age of three months. Whooping cough killed seven children in 1952, . in contrast to the 52 of the previous ’year and the vaccine should be gijfen at the age of three months. Small pox vaccinations should be done in the childhood and once la ter in life.

Clark will under take new phsychological warfare moves in Korea if his offer of a SIOO,OOO re ward induces a Red pilot to fly to freedom in a MIG-15 iet, informed sources p> - dieted today. They said the unorthodox offer Is an experiment to see how much demoralization can be produced in the enemy camp by such attractive invitations to desertion. At -the least, officials believe, the tempting reward will sow mutual suspicion and discord among Com munist pilots and thereby decrease their battle efficiency. At best, it may also give the United Nations command a late-model MIG in good condition for operationl flight tests. Since the first rule f psycho logical warfare is to “keep ’em guessing,” high administration of ficials were reluctant to say very much about the strategy behind Clark’s offer, or future plans along the same line. In fact, it took several hours of high-level conference, interspeersed with numerous telephone calls be tween the Air Force psychological warfare branch, its research and development section and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to produce the sole official statement on the affair. It said: AIR FORCE FUNDS ' “The Department of Defense has . verified the fact that Gen. Clark has offered asylum and remun eration to Communist pilots flying MIG-15 or other Jet aircraft over , to U.

WM . ■ JSg Prisoner Issue Still Blocking Armistice Talk PANMUNJOM, Korea OP)—■ The United Nations told the Communist truce team today to start talking bus iness or face another rup ture in armistice negotia tions. Lt. Gen. William K. Harrison, senior U. N. delegate, gave the warning to North Korean senior delegate Gen. Nam 11 at a fruitless 39-minute meeting here, thi-d of the resumed truce talks. The sticking point stiil was the disposition of the 50,C00 Commu nist prisoners who refuse to go back to their Red-ruled homelands. It was indicated Harrison was trying to speed things up. Most ob servers believe the Communists really want an armistice this time. They suggest that the Reds first may nominate India as a neutral to take charge of Communist pri soners who refuse to go home, and that the U. N. will agree. Then they expect the Communists to accept the U. N. stand that the Drisoners must remain in Korea until their future has been decided. The Communists spent nearly the entire 39-minutes of- today's session rehashing proposals—which the U. N. already had rejected— for the disposition of # the prisoner is sue. GETS TOUGH Harrison got tough at the outset. He reminded the Communists they themselves had urged resumption of armistice negotiations. "It was our hope that we might be able to agree on a reasonable and honorable armistice which would protect the human rights of the prisoners of war that caused us to consent to resume meetings,** garrison said. ? “We do not intend to become in volved in protracted and useless arguments.
