BALTIMORE. Aug. pa vaccine
against poliomyelitis may be found
some day at the John Hopkins
Hospital, and if so, a group OF
chimpanzees, serving as guinea
pigs, will share in the credit.
The story of the search for the
vaccine and the part six chimps
played in 1t was reported today by
the hospital.
Year-long experiments on the
chimps have set the stage. Def
nitive results, however, are not ex-
pected for another IL or IA months
DR.. Howard A. Howe, member OF
the polio research center at the
Hopkins School of Hygiene and
Public Health, said the experiments
thus far tend to establish that
chimpanzees once infected with the
Gripping disease are resistant to II

He refused to particularize his
findings until further studies are
made--and they are now at q tenn
Iporary standstill. The six original
|chimps are SO immune they nc
longer are useful research subjects
DR.. Howe and his staff are wait
ing for a new set after taking time
out to find a suitable" home foi

come particularly attached during

In Search for Polio Vaccine

though none were paralyzed at any
time, all became temporary carriers.
They remained carriers through
the normal polio period of two or
three weeks. After recovering, most
OF them were resistant to carrying
polio the second time"
DR.. Howe explained most persons
contracting polio are not paralyzed
but are temporary carriers through
the alimentary tract. Many, hi
said, have symptoms of polio but
none OF the after effects.
Chimpanzees were used in the
experiments because they most re-
semble humans in their reactions tc
polio and may be subjected to the
virus by simple feeding rather thar
injections.
Before the experiments can be re-
stunned the new chimps will get 9

Welfare Committee Urges
Merger Of County Services

Plans to merge Arlington child
and family welfare services with
those Of Alexandria and Fairfax
County have been recommended by
the Arlington Social Service Com
mittee, it was announced today.
Better service and more efncient
operation would be provided for all
three communities through such a
program, it was pointed out. Such q
plan would mean separating the
services of the departments OF pub
lie welfare, which are supported by
Community Chest funds, from the
regular relief load maintained by
tax revenues.
Meanwhile, the committee has
started It's survey Of county public
and private agencies to determine If
present operations are able to meet
the community's future needs. In
cluded among the agencies to be
studied are the county Red Cross
chapter, Child Care Counsellor and
Children's Home Society.

2I-The sale of choice grades Of
tobacco to market buyers may soon
net Maryland farmers as much as 81
4 pounds cents more than the
present top price-if production
costs continue to increase, 1t was
predicted here yesterday by Repre-
sentative Sasscer, Democrat, of
Maryland.
Speaking before members Of the
Maryland Tobacco Growers Asso-
citation at the organizations 18th
annual picnic and outing at Seaside
Park, the first since the war, Mr..
Sasscer said such a price was once
considered ''wishful thinking by
former Representative Thomas Par
ran of Maryland, who was presi-
dent Of the growers association for
20 years.
The 5th district Representative
declared, however, that Mr.. Parran
always said Maryland tobacco was
worth 81 pound on the market.
and added, 'it is my hope and be-
lief we are fast approaching it,"
Points to Increases.
Mr.. Sasscer, who was instrumental
in having the top ceiling set at 50
cents pound in 1943 and increased
to 81 cents last year in order to
maintain Accent overall average,
pointed out that despite slow start
after ceilings were removed this
year, prices jumped to a new high
OF "A cents on the Southern Mary
land auction markets and Is cents
on the Baltimore market with the
State overall average going up to
56.47 cents a pound.
Another speaker, Mayor Theodore
McKeldir of Baltimore, State Re-
publican gubernatorial candidate,
called for expansion of tobacco re-
search work in the State, pointing
out that too little was done in
Maryland in the fertile field of
tobacco research"

Conversion from artificial to
natural gas will begin in Alexandria,

spokesman for the Rosslyn Gas Co.
Gas appliances in Fort Myer, the
Pentagon, Aurora Hills, Virginia
Highlands and part of Arlington
Village have already been converted,
and when Alexandria is completed
workmen will return to Arlington to
finish conversion there.
So far, no accidents resulting
from the change have been reported
to Arlington police, and housewives
questioned yesterday expressed gen.
eral satisfaction with the natural
gas.
Most, enthusiastic was Mrs. How
ard w. Cooke of the Leehigh Apart
ments, 2409 Lee boulevard, Airing
ton. who said she noticed the diff
ference right away"
Others Comment.
Natural gas is Smoother and
more powerful" Mrs. Cooke de-
clared. She said she hadn't been
forced to make any changes in her
way OF cooking, because she always
Kept the burner low anyhow.
Mrs. Maurice Wagner, 2405 Lee
boulevard, thought the flame from
the new type of gas was slightly
hotter but said it was not enough
to affect her cooking.
She hadn't heard of any mishaps
among her neighborS when the
change was made, she said There
shouldn't have been any accidents, -
she pointed out, because the gas
company sent around pamphlets
with all the instructions about three
times. 1t was very simple. and in
plain language"
Hot Shoppe Likes Flame.
At the Rosslyn Hot Shoppe, frs.
place to undergo notifications for
natural gas last week, Manager
Leonard w. Lefeve said there had
been no trouble among his cooks
In using the new type of gas.
One of the Hot Shoppe griIls, he
reported, had formerly burned with
a very high fame that licked the
edges of the cooking containers.
Since conversion. he said, this grill
can be turned down low. reducing
the danger of setting fire to grease
on the edge of the pan.
1t. Col. Carl o. Shytle, post en-
gineer at Fort Myer, declared,
Everything is getting along fine,
so far as we are concerned"
A. J. McElroy, Fort Myer foreman
plumber, said there had been few
complaints that pilot lights had
gone out, but In each case the
trouble had been quickly corrected.
A soldier at post headquarters re-
ported trouble with the water heater
there, but Mr.. McElroy said minor
adjustments of gas appliances were
to be expected.

Underpass May Be
Delayed Indefinitely

A proposed $900,000 underpass at
the Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad In
Silver Spring is among State Roads
Commission projects involving the
expenditure of approximately &c.
100000 that may be delayed indefi-
nitely, it was learned today.
Commission Chairman Robert M.
Reindollar disclosed that at least
seven of the projects high on the
body's 1916 construction program
might be affected by an order of
Federal ReSonversion Director
Steelman.
The directive, he explained, makes
tit mandatory that highway prof.
ects involving highly critical mate
rails get Public Road Administration
approval before the State can award
contracts.
Other Projects in Jeopardy.
In addition to the Silver Spring
underpass, on which bids are to be
opened Tuesday, Mr.. Reindollar
said he considered the following
projects Sin. jeopardy" by reason OF
President Humans admonition to
postpone work on all projects not
absolutely essential to public health
and safety:
The Stoney Creek bridge which
would link Baltimore and densely
populated shore areas of Anne
Arundel County, an $500 900 project:
Two railroad overpasses in the
Baltimore area. Mr.. Reindollar de.
clined to name the projects, but
said their combined estimated cost,
might exceed $1,000, 900.
Three new major highway links
aggregating about 20 miles and esti-
mated to cost about 100000. Mr.
Reindollar said one was on the
Eastern Shore, another in Southern
Maryland, and the third in the west
ern section OF the State.
Underpass Called Essential.
Noting that these highways arr
the most modern type of heavy, re.
inforced concrete construction, HI
added the PRA might conceivabl,
withhold its approval on the aware
Iof these new bodybuilding con.
tracts, at least until the material.

When told OF Mr.. Reindollar'.
stand, Montgomery County offlcial.
insisted the Silver Spring underpas,
is essential to public safety.
They pointed out that the present
underpass has been the scene o.
scores OF accidents, several fatal
during the last several years ane
that it is flooded during heavy

$35, 42l,84s.
Racing Days Increased.
He cited various reasons for the
underestimate. For instance. ir
racing the estimate was made wher
the sport was banned and Their
when it was resumed, there were
more racing days than in the nor.
NAL season.
Racing revenues were estimated
at $4,000, 900 and reached $500, 1888
NJ. McCusker said wartime
changes had resulted in underesti.
mating the State gross receipts ia,
revenues by $1,444, 176. These actua
revenues reached $4,019,176.
Admissions taxes during the fsca
year reached $276,717, or $36,71,
more than expected when the
budget was drawn up in 1945.
Marylanders smoked many more
cigarettes than expected as showr
in revenue underestimate of $121, ).
000 Revenues from this source were
1927 $50.
Motor Taxes Jump.
The mtoor titling tax, spurred BY
peacetime automobile production
totaled $797, Az or $277,412 more
than estimated.
Alcoholic beverages brought in
much greater than anticipated reve.
nue.. Liquor taxes came to $5,715.-
$50 or $1,415,552 more than esti-
mated and wine taxes to $3l1,376 OF
$11 ,376 more.
Income taxes totaled $8,046, 057, o,
$206 $50 less than the amount ex-
pected by the State, while those
paid by individuals in which the
cities and counties share, were
81 ,632 ,o49 or $245,144 more than an
ticipated.
