Northern virginiians
In Assembly Receive
Key Committee Posts
BY a stoff Correspondent Of The stor

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 20.-A
large number of the General As
sembly's key legislative positions
went to Northern Virginians in the
assignment of standing committees
of the Senate and House Delegates
The appointments yesterday COM
pleted organization of the Legisla-
ture. Those from the northern
part of the State consist of nine
Senators, four of whom are serv-
ing their first term, and 20 members
of the House, six of whom were
not here the last session. One of
the latter, Robert J. McCandlish, jr.,
of Fairfax. served as delegate from
1912 to 1945.
Some friction over Republican
committee assignments developed
yesterday in the Senate when
Senator Ted Dalton of Radford, one
of the two COP members of the
Senate, objected because only one
Republican was named to the
Finance Committee. Senator Floyd
Landreth Of Galax, the other Re-
publican, was named to the COM
mittee.
Points to Popular Vote.
Declaring Republicans had polled
about one-third of the popular vote
in the last general election, Senator
Dalton said he felt his party is en-
titled to larger representation on
the committee.
Senator John S. Battle of Char.
lottesville, who heads both the
Steering Committee that made the
appointments and the Finance
Committee, replied that one Repub-
lican appointment constituted Sc
per cent of the party's representa-
tion while the Democrats had "only
about 40 per cent" on the group.
Senator Charles r. Fenwick of
Arlington, who served three terms
in the House but is starting his
first in the Senate, was placed on
three major" groups-Roads and
Internal Navigation, Courts of JUS
tice and County, City and Town
Organization-and also was as
signed to the Committee on Moral,
Social and Child Welfare.
Senator Andrew w. Clarke of
Alexandria and the counties of
Fairfax and Prince William, drew
appointment to the Finance Com
mittee and Privileges and Elections
Committee for the first time and
retained his membership on the
Courts of Justice, Public Institu-
tion and Education and Insurance
and Banking Committees.
Magruder Assigned.
On the House side, Delegate j.
Maynard Magruder of Arlington is
the ranking member from the Met
ropolitan area of Washington.

State Aid for
Health Plans
Funds Would Assist
Localities to Obtain
Federal Benefits
BY Alex R. Preston
Stor Staff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 2o.-The
State would give financial aid to
localities to permit participation In
q Federal program for hospital and
health center facilities, under terms
Of legislation being prepared today
for the General Assembly.
This development occurred almost
Immediately after Gov. Tuck yes
terday sent his budget message to
the Legislature calling for expendi.
lures of about $505, 900 900 during
the next two years.
Senator Charles r. Fenwick of
Arlington said, ut is to be regretted
that the Governors message appar-
emily made no provision for the
State to assist the localities in par.
ticipating in benefits under the Hill.
Burton Act"
Refers to Federal Law.
He referred to the Federal law
which provides s2,30o,o00 a year for
the next five years for States or
localities on matching basis to
build new hospital or health center
facilities or expand those already in
existence.
Senator Fenwick is chairman Of
the Legislative Committee of the
Virginia Health and Medical Care
Council. Yesterday the Executive
Committee of the council met
shortly after the Governors budget
message was transmitted to the
General Assembly and Senator Fen
wick was directed to sponsor legis-
lation to make possible local par
ticipation in the Federal aid pro-
gram.
Main objective of bills to be In
Itroduced, Senator Fenwick asserted,
will be to provide funds for State
aid to localities-particularly those
that are least able to raise money
for their proportionate share Of
matching funds.
Since the Governor made no pro-
visions in his budget for State par
ticipation, Senator Fenwick said the
amount needed has yet to be de-
termined. The figure, he said, would
depend on whether the State
matched one-third and the locality
one-third to go with the Federal
funds.
He said he would study the posi-.
bility of working out a formula in
which the locality's responsibility
must be lessened If an appropriate
State agency can certify that the
community Is unable to raise the
money.
Check Already Suggested.
Such a check on the communitys
economic responsibility already has
been suggested by the Virginia Ad-
visory Legislative Council in connec-
ton with teachers salaries.
Mr.. Fenwick explained to the
Health and Medical Care Council
that new law would be needed to
permit localities to contribute funds
to hospitals that are operated as
private institutions. He said he did
not anticipate any appreciable OBJ
lection to such a bill because special
acts have been passed previously
authorizing local governing bodies
to appropriate public money to such
private organizations as volunteer
/ fire companies.
At the last two sessions Of the
General Assembly, total of $4,000
was appropriated for Statewide
hospital survey to qualify Virginia
for participation in the Hill-Burton
Act benefits, the Arlington Senator
asserted,
"The Council" he said, fears that
unless the State gives some as
sistance to the localities, the whole
health program which received such
splendid impetus through the survey
will be lost"

|ChiId Welfare Bureau Joins
In Crusade Against VD Here

The prevention of venereal dis
ease in cxpectant mothers and new
born infants has brought the Bu-
reau Of Maternal and Child Welfare
Of the District Health Department
into the departments crusade
against VD here.
There is good reason for their in
terest. When expectant mothers
are infected with syphilis and the
disease remains unrreated, nearly
a fourth Of the pregnancies result
in miscarriages or stillbirths, medi-
cal statistics show.
OF all the babies born alive by in
fected mothers, Sc per cent are born
with syphilis. OF these one-fourth
die before they are a month old
and the rest may develop late COM
plications Of the disease after they
grow up.
What Statistics Show.
Only one baby in five whose
mother was infected before birth is
born free OF syphilis, the statistics
show.
An unborn child is infected with
syphilis germs from the mothers
bloodstream, but with the new
method of treating the disease the
child can be born free Of syphilis
| If 1t is discovered and treated even
as late as the eighth month of preg-
nancy.
Although SO States in the country
now have laws requiring a blood
test for syphilis of expectant
mothers, the District does not.
Fortunately, however, all hospitals
and Health Department clinics as
well as almost all private physicians
recognize the importance of such
tests Since 1910 a report as to
whether a blood test has been made
during pregnancy is requested on
District birth certificates.
157 Cases Last Year.
In spite of this, there were 157
cases of congenital syphilis reported
in Washington last year-more than
twice as many as in the previous

Seventy per cent of the Districts

flied for service by Army doctors,
but the percentage Is lower than
anticipated by selective service Of

I'VE had estimated. that only 20
per cent would be found qualified
but, of course, we hope that the 80
per cent rate will continue" he said
Thirty-six men have been found
physically qualified to help fill the
November quota Of 55 men and, of
those, 81 already have been notified
Ito report for actual induction in

will report November 2.
Col. Welsh pointed out that most
|of the men being examined now
In the 22-to-25-age bracket-were
passed over during the World War
II draft for one reason or another.
He said that some Of the physical
standards had been relaxed since
the war and that number OF these
now could pass the tests.
"A total Of $50 men showed on
their questionnaires that they. had
obvious physical defects, such as
one leg shorter than the other,
which warranted their examina-
tons by medical advisers to the
local boards. and they will be ex-
amined by them, Col. Welsh said.
Meanwhile, local registration has
dropped to its lowest level since the
