Says Marlowe Was

By Shakespeare
LONDON (Routers)—An American drama historian who thinks
Shakespeare was just a front for
-notlicr author, expects-to prove
tits claim next month by opening
ii 300-ycar-ola tomb.
Calvin Hoffman, of New York,
has obtained ' permission from
church officials to open the ancient
tomb of Sir Thomas Walstngham,
famous Elizabethan nobleman, at
Cli isle hurst, England.
Inside, he expects to find a lead
box containing the 3B manuscripts
o! the first folio of Shakespeare's
plays.
These manuscripts, he thinks,
will show that Christopher Marlowe, another famous playwright
it the Elizabethan era, was thc
real author of the plays now as-
tribed to Shakespeare — whom
Huffman calls a ''stooge'* and a
third-rale actor.

pany "are still far aparl on many
important issues, in addition lo
the question of the: guaranteed

■He confirmed earlier reports,
however, thai Ford had put a new
proposal on the bargaining table
since first offering ,a stock purchase plan latt week. Details of
the new offer were not disclosed.
The new development put added emphasis on the UAW's simultaneous negotiations with General
Motors, The GM-UAW contract
was to expire May 29. But the
union delayed .filing termination
notice so it.is not free to strike
at GM until next Tuesday midnight. The union says a Ford

SOME HESITATION -
Hesitation on. the part of-some
Tiifc delegates at aspects of the
merger terms were expressed at
tlu convention, but the overwhelming majority of the 750 delegates
overcame dissenters in a standing,
cheering vote.
Then president Claude Jodoin led
them in singing "Alouctt**," one of
the friendship song of his native
Quebec.
He announced immediately that
p.osidenl A. R. Moshcr of the CCI
will bc ihvltld by telegram lo
address lhe convention. Mr. Mosher
is expected here about Friday.
No one voted "no" when Jodoin
cnlled for lhe vole, but carpenter
Ed Larose of Montreal got up
later to ask he be recorded as
"dissident" on two paragraphs in
the TLC-CCL statement of principles giving unions of each congress the same jurisdiction in
organizing that they now enjoy.
ENGAGED IN TUSSLE
The carpenters union—of which
"Larose" is an' international representative—is engaged in' juris
d-ctbnal fights with District 50 of

'liMK  FOR SOLIDARITY
His own union hud suffered

"The time has come to call
halt to that sort of thing and
establish solidarity in the ranks of

"We stand here at a point of
history," he added. "There may hc
points of difference. Neither this
congress nor Ihe CCL may be
wholly satisfied with the merger
terms, but the merger has to be

March 31st
OTTAWA (CP)—Immunization of at least 3,000,000
Canadian children with Salk polio vaccine is planned by
next Mifrch 31, Health Minister Martin said Wednesday
night.
Upwards of 750,000 children Jiow
have rorevied the inoculations

"to immunize no less than 3,000,000
children by the end of the current

SEASON PEAK
At last April 1 government records showed 5,184,948 children
were on family allowance rolls,
representing a close approximation
ot the number of Canadian children under 16.
In mid-May the health department estimated about 1,000,000
children will receive the Salk vaccine before July, when polio usually
begins rising toward its seasonal
peck.
. It started on a wide scale about
\Vi months ago after the vaccine
developed by Dr. Jonas Salk was.
declared safe, effective and potent
in a report of the University of
Michigan, which evaluated results
ol its test use in the Uniled State*
last year. *
rOLLOW RECOMMENDATION
In most provinces, in line with
Dr. Salk's recommendation, cJiild«
tvn receive first and second shota
of the vaccine two to four weeks
apart and a booster shot seven
months later.
A health department .official said
the 3,000,000 children mentioned by
Mr. Martin will receive-at least
two shots by next March 31.
Current all-out production of th«
vaccine at the Conn aught labor*
tories in Toronto will be supplemented in August when th-j Institute of Microbiology at Montreal
