Temporary Buildings
Sought by Officials
OF Junior College

Plans are being made by Mont
gomery Junior College officials to
obtain temporary buildings to pro-
vide additional facilities for its stu
dents and faculty, it was learned
today.
The college, which opened last
month, is now housed in the Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase High School.
Dean Hugh G. Price said a study
is being made of the need for addi-
tional space to accommodate a
chemistry laboratory, students
lounge, library and Offices where
teachers can hold conferences with
students.
The college now has an enroll
ment of 1873. of whom 81 are vet
Grams, The students range in age
from 16 to 46. Dean Price said the
46-year-old student is veteran of
World War I.
School Not Overcrowded.
All are doing fine work" he
said, and the faculty is "enthusi-
astic" over results of the establish
ment of the institution. the first Of
its kind in the East between Geor-
gia and New Jersey.
Although there are more students
than was expected when the COL
lege opened its doors September 18,
Dean Price said there Is no over
crowding. The average class con-
tainS "a students, he said, with the
largest having As.
He said he expected approxi-
mately so additional students in
February and an estimated total
student body of $50 next September.
Annual Budget Of $4,000.
While admitting that the tuition
is a little high Dean Price
pointed out that the institution is
operating on an annual budget Of
$4,000, with only $4,000 contrib
uted this year by the county and
State. The county also provides
the building and furnishes heat,
electricity and janitor service.
1--WE hope to be able to reduce the
tuition if we get an annual grant
from the State" Dean Price said.
I'VE hope the county also will con-
tinue its financial aid" t
Present tuition fee for county
residents is $3.50 semester of IS to
18 semester hours and $40 per Sc
mester hour for special students en-
rolling for less than Is semester
hours.
.Nonresidents must pay SITS a
semester for the same amount Of
semester hours and nonresident spe-
cial students are charged $3.50 per
semester hour.
Junior College Functions.
In discounting a report that
junior colleges compete with uni
versities, Dean Price contended
that a Junior college actually stim-
ulates interest in higher education
and BENEFITS four-year colleges.
A junior college, according to
Dean Price, has the following func-
tionS:
Transfer or preparatory for STU
dents intending to enter regular
feur-year university after complet-
ing their junior college work. popu-
larizing college education, terminal
for students who do not intend to
enter a university, and guidance.
BY establishing it's own bookstore
during the summer, the Junior COL
lege was able to stock up on text
books and avoid the critical short
age existing in other colleges, Dean
Price said.

A controversy over the use of
funds from the water and sewer
departments in Falls Church has
caused Councilman J. H. Mccarthy
to anounce he will refuse to deal
with other council members until
the matter is settled in his favor.
The issue is whether profits from
the operation of the two depart
ments. headed by Mr.. Mccarthy. a
veteran member of the council,
should be set aside for their use
only or whether they should be
spent for other town functions dur
ing emergencies.

sewer department receipts should
be placed in a contingent fund to

despite the efforts of misguided"
leaders.
Planes Due over Scene.
Gen. Wedemeyer had just begun
to pay tribute to the 1900 Clarke
County veterans for their services
when his address was interrupted
with dramatic suddenness.
With a high-pitched whine, a
group of naval planes came from
the skies and made a simulated
strafng run at low altitude over the
field.
They were followed by other for
nations of Navy planes at higher
attitudes and later by hedge hop
ping" maneuvers that criss-crossed
the show grounds area at near tree
top level.
After a 10-minute display, Gen.
Wedemeyer resumed, only to be in
terrupted by the planes later. Re-
suming a second time, he said,
good naturedly:
During the war, as theater COM
mander, one of the happiest sights
I could see was our airmen flying
overhead. I am happy to see them
again today

plea for strong Navy. Gen. Edison

year which the study reflects"

Atom Energy Cures Goiter, Doctor Says

Boston, May 1-(UP)-A Harvard medical researcher today claimed the first successful cure of a disease by the application of atomic energy.
 Dr, Saul Hertz, 8 research asso- ciate at both Harvard medical school and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, described his treat ment with radioactive iodine ther- apy of hyperthyroid - over-active goiter.
 Victims of this disease, he said, may be cured by artificial radio activity at a cost reduced from the present $200 and $500 to $250 if the Army releases the necessary ele- 1nents.
 Cures ''POp-Eyed" Type
 Dr. Hertz, who also is a Navy commander, said his form of iIl- ternal X-ray treatment was highly successful in curing myperthyroid or exopthalmic goiter, commonly called the "pop-eyed" type.
 Once the Army makes available the radioactive iodine, this new method may eliminate the need fer disqualification or surgery, Dr. Hertz said. Formerly. exopthalmic goiter could be cured only by an operation.
 Dr. Hertz explained that when in- ternal beta irradiation is applied to goiter 1t kills the overactive cells and leaves only normal goiter Other organs of the body are not affected by such treatment, he said.
 Sufficient radioactive iodine is present in uranium piles now being operated by the Government to cure all hyperthyroid goiter patients in America, Dr. Hertz said. However this element has not yet been re- leased by the Army.
 Doctors Should Have It
 When released, the radioactive iodine should be put in the hands of medical committee that would properly evaluate its application and to see that it is readily avail able to the public, pr. Hertz sug- gested.
 Atomic energy has been applied with some measure of success to leukemia, Dr. Hertz said, but, in all cases, the victims were helped but not cured. Tn the treatment of hy- perthyroid, however, he said that the internal X-ray treatments given patients in controlled studies over five-year period had proved a definite cure.
 A native of Cleveland, pr. Hertz was graduated from Harvard medi- cal school in 1929. He said he first invented the X-ray treatment in 1936 after hearing a speech on atomic energy by President Karl T. Compton of M. I. T.
