New Montgomery Pupils
Warned on Vaccinations

The Montgomery County Health
Department today warned that chill
dren entering school for the first
time must have been vaccinated
against diphtheria.
The department said that at some
county schools. parents are attempt
ing to enroll their children without
having them vaccinated first in ac-
cordance with the law.
At the same time, department
officials asserted that even though
a child has had his diphtheria in
oculation while a baby and again
before entering school, booster"
dose should be given just before
enrolment.
The department feels officials
said, that the booster dose is a
wise precaution because the degree
of immunity is not shown by the
Schick test and it may be that the
child will not continue to be immune
to diphtheria until he reaches the
age when he is less susceptible to
the disease"

Traffic Control Plans
Al CoIesviIIe-Georqia
Intersection Studied

Two plans for improving traffic
control at Georgia avenue and
Colesville road are being studied
today by special committee of the
Silver Spring Board of Trade and
officials of the National
Capital Park Planning Commission.
One plan was prepared by the
State Roads Commission engineers
in connection with the repaving of
kGeorgia avenue. The other was
advanced by Fred w. Tuemmler,
director of planning for the Park
and Planning Commission.
May Go to Baltimore.
G. Gregg Everngam, chairman of
the trade groups committee, said
that If the planning agency and his
group agree this afternoon that the
Tuemmler plan is more desirable,
they will go to Baltimore to dis
cuss the project with Chief Engineer
Wilson T. Ballard Of the State
Roads Commission. If it is decided
the States plan is better, no further
action will be taken.
Other members of the committee
are Victor j. Richter and Walter
Griffin.
The widest variance between the
two plans is in their treatment of
the corner occupied by the Silver
Spring shopping center. The
Tuemmler plan calls for elimina-
tlcn of the wide sweep around the
front of the center, while the State
design calls for an island on
Georgia avenue south of Colesville
road to separate northbound traffic
from that turning right into Coles
vile road.
Repaving Plans Told.
The Board of Trade appointed
the committee following a talk -by
District Engineer Edward G. Dun
can of the State Roads Commission.
Mr. Duncan warned that quick
acton must be taken If any changes
are to be made in plans for the
intersection.
The engineer also told of the
Commissions plans for repaving
Georgia avenue between East-West
Highway and Colesville road.
Plans call for three 12-foot traffic
lanes for both northbound and
southbound traffic and in some
places there will be 8-foot bays"
for parking. Left turn lanes will
be provided in some places.

Albert P. Greensfelder, the city
planner who helped lift" the face
of St. Louis and now is the newest
member of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
believes Washington should develop
its own Individuality"
No other city in the United States
occupies the coveted position of
Washington, he told reporters yes
terday.
Il would not want Washington to
initiate any other city in its plan
ming" he protested. Cant we de-
velop its individuality as it's greatest
asset?"
Mr.. Greensfelder attended his first
meeting of the Planning Commission
yesterday, but he came here a week
ahead of time TO get an idea of what
the Federal planners are doing in
Washington and proposed to do in
the near future.
Praises Identification Objective.
He praised the Planning Commits
sion for keeping the "beautification
of Washington" as its main objective
realized by careful planning of
projects well in advance.
Il find it has instilled here a
spirit for better development" he
emphasized. That isl the most i'm
portant thing the commission has
done to date. 1t tops the Wash
ington Monument in Importance"
Mr.. Greensfelder laughed aside at
tempts to pin him down to the most
important thing Washington should
do in the next few years of plan
ming.
But one thing he did recommend
most strongly was the acquisition o!
sufficient land to provide green
belt" around the entire city. A start
in that direction has been made by
the George Washington Memorial
Parkway and the Fort Drive. Lon

don is planning green belts at the
cost of extra millions, he said, be-
cause it had not acquired the land

Every large city should have
fringe areas for "off street" parking
as well as healthfA recreation, he
said, and these areas should be
within reasonable distances. The
planning commission saw that years
ago, he pointed out, and the value
to the city is inestimable. The work
should continue.
On the whole, the former st Louis
city planning chairman thinks
Washington has had the advantage
of excellent planning. People are

DC. Awaited
Park Commission
Will Hire ConsuItunt
To Publish Plan

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission expects to
enter into contract next week with
a famous consultant to prepare for
publication of long awaited re-
vision of the comprehensive plan"
for the orderly development Of
Washington and its environs.
An outline of the proposed master
plan. which has been neglected for
Is years, was approved at the month";
ly meeting of the Planning Com
mission yesterday. Maj. Gen. U. S.
Grant III, chairman, was authorized
to retain professional help next
week.
Congress appropriated funds last
judy for the use of the planners in
preparing groundwork for carrying
out the s20,000,00o authorization
under the Urban Redevelopment Act
Of 1916. 1t is expected $45 600 will
be used to ready the comprehensive
plan for publication.
Advisory Unit Authorized.
At the same time, Gen. Grant
said the commission also expects to
announce next week a list of 100 to
$50 public spirited citizens to serve
as an advisory committee on future
planning. Approval of the plan was
given yesterday.
Through these citizens, we hope
to get the reaction to comprehensive
planning, step by STEP Gen. Grant
said. Business, professional, educa-
tional and civic groups are to be
represented on the committee.
Making slow progress on its
agenda, the commission left many
items for todays session.
1t approved plans for the location
Of the new Braddock light and
power plant in Alexandria, north of
the circle on the Mount Vernon
Memorial parkway.
Compromise Effected.
The approved location, about 100
or $50 feet from the river bank, was
a compromise worked out between
the planning commission and the
power company, a subsidiary of
Pepco. The planning commission is
maintaining a right -of-way along
the river bank at that point In the
expectation the Mount Vernon road
some day will bypass the heart Of
Alexandria.
If Alexandria traffic becomes too
troublesome, the commission hopes
to obtain approval for the construc-
tion of all elevated highway follow
ing the river bank and connecting
with the main Mount Vernon road
outside the city limits. Gen. Grant
referred to the compromise worked
out with the power company as an
example of economy made possible
by planning in advance of actual
construction"
In exchange for moving the plant
back from the river side, the plan
ming commission got the United
States Engineers Office to agree to
make Potomac River water easily
accessible to the plant.
