mumbling "where is that old salt

Among DPS
AP Newsfeatures

PARIS - With so babies born
annually among every 1000 people
in displaced persons camps, the
D. P. birth rate is among the high
est in the world, according to the
American Joint Distribution Com
mittee.
The rate is two and one-half
times the U. S. figure of 23.2 per
1000 for 1946-47, which represents
considerable increase since the
wars end. The infant mortality
rate is "Yery low" the A. ]. D. G.
said, due to the special treatment
given every child and mother.
The A. ]. d. C's survey showed
$50 births per month in the first
seven months of this year, or an
average of 1920 annually, among
the Jews in ID. P. camps. At the
rate Of so births per thousand, this
would put the total Jewish popula-
tion in the camps at 165, 900.
The committee explained the high
rate by quoting one of the mothers
"My mother and father were
killed when the Germans came to
my home in Poland. My two bro.
theirs died in concentration camps

kinfolk. But / will have children.

He emphasized, however, that en-
ployers cannot hire handicapped
individual who does not make IL
known that he wants a job.
No matter what the handicap,
DR.. Beebe concluded. "all we need
to know is that a man or woman is
interested and eager to became self
supporting. There is a job of some
kind somewhere for that person.

some cases even special artificial

School Sites at All New
Housing Projects

The Fairfax County School Board
yesterday voted to sponsor county
legislation requiring builders to set
aside land in large real estate de-
velopments for use as school sites.
The resolution asked that the
County Board of Supervisors adopt
such an ordinance. The action was
brought about, it was explained by
School Supt. w. T. Woodson, after
the school board found it difficult
to locate school sites in several new
large housing developments.
It was voted to begin condemna-
ton proceedings to acquire school
site at Jefferson Park, near Grove
ton.
The board also decided to file an
application for $4,000 State lit
erary loan to construct four new
classrooms. library and cafeteria
at Burke Elementary School.
It invited a committee of colored
residents to discuss a request that
the county build a colored high
school. Colored students in Fair
fax County now attend high
school in Manassas, which is jointly
owned and operated by Prince Will
liam and Fairfax Counties. No date
was set to hear the committee.
The purchase of additional play
ground space at Vienna Elemen-
tary School for Colored was au-
thorized.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Dec. 1.-THE
Maryland Court of Appeals heard
an estate quarrel yesterday that
hinged on the question of who died
first when Mr. and Mrs. William H.
Hague inhaled a fatal amount OF
Illuminating gas in their Baltimore
apartment.
City Solicitor Simon E. Sobefot1
and Richard M. Carlin, an assistant,
contended Baltimore had an inter-
est in Mr.. Hague's $4,000 estate
after application of Maryland's
Uniform Simultaneous Death Act, ="
which they said had not been inter-
preted by the courts since its enact
ment in 1941.
Attorneys for eight nieces and
nephews of Mrs. Hague argued that
Judge Edwin T. Dickerson, sitting
in Baltimore Circuit Court No. z,
was correct in dividing both estates
among them.
The couple had made mutual
