Cases Of Paralysis
Drop With Arrival
OF Cool Weather
Public Health Officers
Report Sharp Decline
In Disease Locally

Continued cool weather such as
this area has had for two days nor
mally would bring about sharp de-
crease in the incidence of polio
myelitis, public health officers be-
lieve.
No new cases of the disease have
been reported since Tuesday, al
though a case which has nearly re-
covered and which was first noted
on August II was added to the three
previously listed in Alexandria, Va
The last Maryland case was re-
ported in Prince Georges County
Tuesday.
Infantile paralysis throughout
Maryland appeared on the wane
with a weeks noticeable slackening
climaXed by the first day in two
months in which no cases were re-
ported, the State Health Depart
ment at Baltimore said yesterday.
So far, $50 cases have been reported
in Maryland while slightly more
than a third of that number have
been reported throughout Virginia.
Health officers declare that pro-
longed cool weather, preferably
frost, will bring an almost complete
halt to the disease, according to
patterns of poliomyelitiS incidence
in previous years. Isolated cases do
occur at any time of the year, how
ever.
The Weather Bureau said that
conditions such as have prevailed
during the past two weeks will con-
tinue until Sunday, when it is ex-
pected the temperature will rise
Such weather as this area is now ex-
periencing must prevail for several
weeks before a definite decline in
the occurance of poliomyelitis is
noted, health officers declared.
The Weather Bureau said such
cool weather normally sets in for
good" about the 1st of october.
A system of county isolation wards
for treatment of infantile paralysis
victims was suggested, meanwhile,
by DR.. C. H. Halliday, chief epi-
demiologist of the Maryland Health
Department.
DR.. Halliday said that if such iso-
lation wards could be established at
strategic points poliomyelitis suf-
ferers could be spared long ambu-
lance rides to hospitals.
Rest is essential in treatment of
the disease, he said, and long trips
to larger hospitals do the patient
no good.
He suggested that isolation wards
could be set up in the counties by
renting buildings or persuading the
hospitals to wall off wings for polio
patients, as was done in York
County, Pa. He said the wards could
be stated by State Health Depart
ment nurses and physicians and the
patients treated near their homes.
DR.. Ralph G. Beachley, Arlington
County Health officer, said the only
two cases that were reported in that
county this year are now recovered
and have been taken out of quar-
antine.
Fairfax County, Va, and Mont
gomery County, Md, reported no
new cases.

Trade Groups
OF D. {. Area
Seek Combine
Mutual Front Planned
On Roads, Housine,
Tourist Trade

The initial step in a move to
coordinate civic enterprise in
Greater Metropolitan Washington
was taken yesterday when WASH
ington Board of Trade officials met
for the first time with representa-
tives of kindred organizations in
nearby Maryland and Virginia. The
meeting was held in the Mayfiower
Hotel.
William H. Press, executive secre-
tary of the Washington board, who
originated the meeting, said the
impact of defense expansion was
being felt not only by the District
OF Columbia, but also by the sur
rounding communities, pointing out
that for this reason problems of
the National Capital now, more than
ever before. belong to the whole Of
Metropolitan Washington.
Mr.. Press said the first meeting
was held to give representatives of
the chambers of commerce and
boards of trade in Washington and
vicinity chance "to get to know
each other" 1t was his hope, he
added, that a regular series of such
meetings will be held in the future,
when definite problems and projects
could be discussed jointly.
Draws Immediate Support.
Those attending we're unanimous
in their support Of Mr. Press idea.
Evidence that it would bear fruit
Immediately was seen in the invita-
ton of H. Brooks Perring, secretary
of the Silver Spring CMdD Board of
Trade, to the other conferees to be
present at the October 16 meeting
of the Silver Spring chamber to be
held at Indian Spring Country Club.
All said they would attend.
Other representatives of nearby
organizations at yesterdays meet
ing included M. E. Green, business
manager Of the Alexandria Chamber
Of Commerce; Paul A. Hill, secre-
tary and business manager of the
Arlington Chamber of Commerce;
H. Heinrich Spang, executive secre-
tary Of the Bethesda Chamber of
Commerce. and C. Maurice Weide-
meyer, first vice president of the
Takoma Park Md Chamber Of
Commerce.
Because of miXup in the invita-
ton, no representative of Prince
Georges County, Md, was present,
Mr.. Press, however, said he had re-
ceived assurance that the county
would send a delegate to future
meetings.
u. S. Chamber Represented.
Ben Lawshe, manager of the
commercial organization department
OF the United States Chamber of
Commerce, also attended.
Representing the Washington
board, besides Mr.. Press, were Fred
A. Smith, president; NJ. Stuart Nc
Gee and Miss Elizabeth Glenn, as
Slstants to the executive secretary.
In outlining the purpose of the
meeting, Mr.. Press set forth three
things which he described as merit
| ing the mutual interest of all pres
ent. These were highway develop
ment, housing and the tourist trade.
He gave assurance of the Washing
ton boards willingness TO CO.
operate with any or all of the
other groups, emphasizing its desire
to give any information or joining
in any program of mutual ad-
vantage"
Mr.. Smith declared the cooper
ative effort of organizations in the
metropolitan area was becoming i'm
perative because the Capital has
got to spread out for years to come"
He described Washington as the
capital of the world"

Bus Head Charged
With Violation Of
zoning Ordinance
Warrant Says Garage
In Prince Georges Is
In Residential Area

A charge of violating the Prince
Georges County coming ordinance
was pending today against Leslie l..
Altman, president of the Wash
ington, Marlboro & Annapolis Mo-
tor Lines, after complaint was made
by Perce L. Wolfe of the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
The warrant is the first prosecu-
ton of alleged Zoning violations
undertaken by the commission in
Prince Georges County and is SINH
lar to prosecutions recently begun
in Montgomery County.
The warrant, issued by Justice of
the Peace John Fainter of Hyatts-
vile, charges Mr.. Altman with
constructing commercial estab-
lishment on residentially zoned
property. He is building bus stor-
age garage at Southern avenue and
the Marlboro pike, just across the
District line.
Mr.. Altman denied the charge in
a statement today. He said the
property has been used for bus stor-
age for nearly 20 years and that the
first floor of the present building
was constructed about seven years
ago. The construction now being
undertaken does not extend the
first floor in any direction on aojoin-
ing land, he said. but simply pro-
videS for the addition of two addi-
tional floors on top of the building.
Mr.. Altman also declared that a
building permit for the present con-
struction was obtained from the
County Board of Commissioners on
May a and that the work was about
so per cent completed when he first
learned that the commission wanted
him to stop construction. He intends
to proceed with the work, he said.
Mr.. Wolf said Mr. Altman received
notice to stop construction about IL
days ago, but that he had ignored
the notice. Mr.. Altman also denied
an accusation from Mr.. Wolfe that
he was unwilling to have the prop
erty rezoned.
