Nine Paralysis Cases
Are Reported 10
Health Department
No Cause for Alarm,
However, Director of
Bureau Says

Four cases of infantile paralysis,
all of which are believed to have de-
veloped from one localized source of
infection, were reported to the Dis
trict Health Department within a
period of 10 days last month, the
department announced today.
The Health Department reported
that in addition to these four cases
five others have been reported to the
department since September l, max
ing total of nine so far this year.
Officials said the five additional
cases did not occur in the same To-
cality as the others and that some
of them were non-residents.
DR.. James G.. Cumming, director
of the Bureau of Preventable Dis
eases, explained there was no cause
for alarm, reporting that SO far this
year there have been only four
cases, and that the disease generally
makes its appearance in the spring
and lasts through the summer and
early fall. Last year there were %
cases reported and 3 deaths. IA
of the cases having been reported
by this time of year.
DR.. Cumming said the virus of
poliomyelitis usually strikes in wide
ly separate points in a community,
but that in this case the address
was highly localized.
Three of the cases were found
not only in the same block, but on
the same side of the street The
fourth case was 2 miles away, but
the child frequently visited and
played with children in the neigh
borhood of the other three cases.
He said it was generally believed
there are about 10 healthy carriers
to one clinical case of the disease,
making preventive and control
measures difficult. However, he said
in the area affected strict quaran-
tine has been established on the
advice of the Health Department
to reduce contact among children
by isolating them on their own
premises and not permitting them
to play with other children in the
neighborhood.
DR.. Cumming said three of the
victims were reported doing well,
but that one was reported in a
serious condition.

Pine Orders Stern
Prosecution Of
Narcotic Cases
Wants PeddIers Shown
District Is Not Soft
Spot, Aides Are Told

Narcotics peddlers in the District
today received a sharp warning
from United States Attorney David
A. Pine that his Office will prose-
cute cases against them vigorously,
and his aides were so instructed.
Mr.. Pine, who noted a substan-
tial increase in narcotic cases in
the last half year, informed his
assistants that they were to handle
narcotic cases "uncompromisingly
and with severity"
Il want the word to go out by
our conduct in these cases that the
percentages for the dope peddlers
are not favorable in the District
of Columbia" declared the public
prosecutor in instructions sent to
all his assistants.
Narcotics peddlers are under the
impression that Washington is a
soft" spot, Mr.. Pine said.
In communicating with his as
sistants Mr.. Pine said:
Il assume that you have noticed
the substantial increase in mar
cotic cases during the last six
months.
The agents of the Narcotic Bu-
reau reported to me last spring
that a large number of serious
crimes could be attributed to the
use of narcotics. The Criminal
Justice Association has come to the
same conclusion.
AT the judicial conference of
the fourth circuit last June 1 made
some inquiry about narcotic cases
in adjoining States and came to
the conclusion that the problem is
more acute here than in the ad-
joining States. The agents of the
Narcotic Bureau gave me the same
information last spring. I believe
this is attributable to the fact thai
peddlers believe Washington is a
soft spot.
please bear these facts in mind
in connection with any narcotic
cases which are assigned to you
for trial or presentation to the
grand jury and handle them un-
compromisingly and with severity.
This is particularly necessary in
connection with the peddlers."

tions by the Highway Department,
rather than TO have these ALLEGATIONS
all fixed by acts of Congress. He
said: THE opening or enlargement
of new developments and changing
traffic conditions frequently make it
desirable that the Highway Depart
ment alter its program. 1t should
not have to await the formality of
congressional action"
Mr.. Keneipp also supported re-
quests by Traffic Director William
A. Van Duzer for continuation OF
the new traffic safety education
program, for increased personnel for
the Division of Financial Response
bility and for some increase in
funds for traffic signal lights. He
also supported proposed outlay of
S22 200 for the purchase of gummed
enamel parking signs with raised
red letters and the reflector button
stop" signs, insisting that the
present signs are unsightly and in
some instances virtually unreadable.
Mr.. Cleveland renewed the recon-
AASAAAbtAoil Vi tllC TAIIlOll(oll AuLO-
mobile Association for a 10 per cent
increase in the personnel of the
Police Department and for a sufi-
cient number of additional police
men to be assigned to the motor
cycle corps so as to increase its
number of 100
Mr.. Cleveland also recommended
provision of funds to make possible
automobile driver training courses
in each of the Washington high
schools, in expansion of the expert
ment now being made at the Abbott
Vocational School; that if Congress
provides for additional parking
meters that the proceeds from
them, over and above cost, be al
located to the highway fund, spe-
cifically earmarked for financing
establishment OF municipal off,
street parking facilities.
New Inspection Station Asked.
Other recommendations by Mr..
Cleveland we're:
That third automobile inspection
station be erected in the Northwest
section of Washington; that there
be an increase in personnel so that
the three inspection stations could
be operated on a full time basis;
that the law be amended to provide
for semi-annual instead of the pres
ent annual inspection of motor
vehicles; that the fee for the in
spection be kept down to actual cost;
that funds be provided for installa-
ton of two-way radio service for
police scout cars; that funds be pro-
vided for installation of traffic lights
at the more than 100 intersections
where Traffic Director Van Duzer
has found they should be provided,
and that the Highway Department
be given appropriations sufficient to
continue progress on the five-year
highway program.
Mr.. Cleveland said his group
especially Endorsed the proposal of
the Highway Department for erec-
ton of a grade separation structure
at Fourteenth street and Maine ave-
nue S.W., and said that conditions
demand correction of the situation
at Dupont Circle, where street cars
travel contrary to the normal cur
rent of traffic, but he said his group
was not prepared at this time to say
what the solution should be.
