Health Department
Gets New Request for
Child Protection

The. Health Department-already
struggling to meet Board Of Educa-
ton demands for adequate pupil
medical service-today was re-
quested by the Recreation Depart
ment to notify playground directors
OF the names of children with
marked physical difficulties or with
communicable disease.
The details of the notification sys-
tenn will be worked out by Milo F
Chrlstiansen, recreation superin-
tendent, meeting with DR.. Joseph
A. Murphy, director of school medi-
cal inspection, and with Robert L
Haycock, school superintendent.
This decision was made at a Recrea-
ton Board meeting yesterday when
Mr.. christensen said he had been
anxious for some time to be notified
OF students suffering from, for ex-
ample, "a heart murmur," or of stu
dents who should be quarantined
but who may have slipped out to
the playground Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Christensen first suggested
that the schools inform him which
puplls-perhaps only 5 out of every
1,O00-who for some reason needed
special playground attention. But
G. Melvin Sharpe, representative of
the Board of Education on the rec
reation body, said school health files
were confidential and the report
should come only from the Health
Department, responsible for examin-
Ing 10000 public, private and paro-
chial school children in the District.
Meanwhile, the Health Depart
ment has appointed DR.. Herbert H.
Diamond, pediatrician and instruc-
tor at the George Washington Uni
versity Medical School, to part-time
service on the school medical in
spection staff. This leaves only one
vacancy on the staff of 20 doctors,
criticized by the School Board be-
cause Of three long standing va
cancies. DR.. Diamond also is a
member of the staff of Johns Hop
kins University Hospital
The Recreation Board also re-
quested the Navy Department to
return as soon as possible for rec
reation use the Lincoln Playground,

Electric Iron Price
Violation Costs $1,4lO

Straight damages in the sum of
$1,410 were awarded the Office of
Price Administration yesterday in
District Court against Stanley E.
Shamosh, businessman, of the 300
block of Eleventh street NV, for
the sale of 242 electric irons in
l943 to department store at above
ceiling prices.
The OPA had asked for treble
damages or three times the amount
of the alleged overcharges. In
awarding only straight damages
visiting Judge j. G. Collet found
the over-ceiling charges were not
made through willful violation. The
lawful wholesale ceiling price was
$1.65 per iron and they were sold
at more than 81 each, it was found.
