POISON CARP LAST
MONDAY IN SAVAGE
LAKE NEAR TROY

A. c. Stubblefield, superintendent
of fisheries for the State of Mon
tana, was at Savage Lake Monday
with state crew to poison the
waters. The object of doing this.
IS to kill off the carp which have
become so numerous in the lake
they have spoiled fishing for game
fish.
It requires 80 days before waters
poisoned by the department can be
restocked. It is planned to stock
Savage Lake with a fast growing
species of rainbow trout which have
been developed on the West Coast.

A gauge that will permit doctors
for the first time, to know the exact
strength patients muscle can ex-
ert was given its first public DEM
onstration yesterday afternoon al
Children's Hospital.
With its disclosure came predic-
tions that the device would elimi-
nate most of the human error ir
judging muscle condition, and woulo
provide accurate statistical records
of muscle development or deteriora-
tion. It may have far-reaching sig
nif1cance in dealing with such dis
eases as infantile paralysis, Chill
dren's Hospital officials said.
The device, called a "myodyne-
meter" was demonstrated by its in
ventor, DR.. Willis c. Beasley, who
has been working since 1885 in the
United States Public Health Serv-
ices Division of Public Health
Methods. He said it represented
nearly three years of experimental
ton In his laboratory at the Ma
tional Institute of Health in Be-
thesda. So far, only six models have
been built, while scientists study its
application to clinical problems.
DR.. Beasley tested the gauge on
Josephine White, 9-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. John E. White
of Wheaton, Md. Josephine was
stricken with infantile paralysis
last September and lost the use OF
her right arm.
At present, DR.. Beasley pointed
out, doctors have no better guidance
to the ravages left by disease on a
patients muscles than the subjec-
tive, personal impression they get
from actually feeling the muscles.
Evening star., 1948-01-18

Individual judgment, whether ex-
pressed as q per cent rating, q
numerical scale, or an adjective de-
scription such as normal" good"
or poor" makes uniformity and
and accuracy impossible.
With the new device, DR.. Beasley
said, a physical therapist with a
thorough knowledge of muscle be-
havior could be trained in two weeks
to substitute measurement of muscle
force in, actual pounds of pressure
for the existing guesswork system.
The machine is operated by q
physical therapist who presses a
small metal device in the palm OF
his hand against the muscle to be
measured. While the patient ap-
plies full strength to move the
indicated muscle, a needle over a
scale on the face of the machine
is DETECTED In proportion to the
strength that is exerted.
DR.. Beasley said he began to
work on the idea when DR.. Don
w. Gudakunst, former medical di-
rector of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis, dumped
the problem In my lap" Research
has been supported by several
grants from the foundation, which
felt accurate measurement of
muscle condition was particularly
needed in treatment of polio cases.
At Children's Hospital, So polio
victims now on the road to recovery
have been getting their muscles
checked with the device at two
week intervals during the last few
months. nd At @ e&

New Health Officer
Plans Study Of Needs
In Prince Georges
By ChorIes A. McAIeer

A chest X-ray campaign and 8
study of county health needs will
receive first attention of Prince
Georges County's new health officer
DR.. Thomas S. Englar.
DR.. Englar's first full day of duty
on Friday was spent meeting County
Health Department personnel, con-
ferring with physicians and officials
and answering telephone calls Of
welcome or invitations to participate
in civic meetings.
"The x-ray survey is the first
thing drawing our attention" the
health officer said. There's lot OF
preliminary work to be done, even
though much already has been ac-
complished."
The survey will begin March IS
A mobile X-ray machine unit will
be sent to communities throughout
the county and a stationary unit
will be made available in several
places between March %, and April
10.
The campaign is sponsored by
the State and county health depart
ments and the County tuberculosis
Association. DR.. Englar said other
civil and fraternal groups, service
clubs, parent-teacher associations
and churches will participate.
The study of county health needs
is necessary, DR.. Englar asserted
to find out what I'm going to do
I'm not sounding off until
I meet the people and members Of
the medical profession"
The health officer said he would
emphasize the value of nutrition.
"I believe that in better, more
scientific nutrition at all ages-anc
particularly of youth up to the
time they get married - will be
found the key to many Of the prob
lens we face"

Arlington Board Acts
To Study Possibility
|0f Regional Jail

Faced with q decision by the
State not to approve use Of the
Arlington County Jail next year un-
less expensive improvements are
made, the County Board yesterday
moved to study possibility Of estab-
lishment of a regional jail. 4
The State Commission of Cor
rections, r. M. Youell, advised the
board by letter that unless fire
hazards are eliminated and at least
minimum standards for jail con-
struction and equipment are met
by December 81, the Jail will not be
approved for further use.
Pointing out that the State board
had taken the stand unanimously,
Mr.. Youell's letter declared:
"Since the Arlington County Jail
which was built many years ago to
serve the needs of a much smaller
county and is nows obsolete, unsafe
and does not meet the present re-
quirements of the county, is used
both as a Jail and q place of deten-
ton for prisoners of the police de-
partment, it would appear best to
build suitable and satisfactory new
jail rather than to spend more
money on the present jail building. y
Establishment of regional jail
to serve Arlington and Fairfax
Counties and Alexandria, has the
support of many, including Airing
ton Sheriff J. Elwood Clements, who
took Office January /, and was rec
commended by the Social Survey
The jails in all localities are old and
in Alexandria the State took court
action to force the City Council to
improve the institution.
Prisoners have escaped from all
three jails within the last two years
Although Board Member Basil M
DeLashmutt declared he doubted
the State actually would stop use OF
the Jail, he moved that committee
be named to study possibility OF
establishing a regional lookup. The
group will include Mr.. DeLashmutt,
Board Member F. Freeland Chew,
Sheriff Clements, County Manager
A. T. Lundberg, Commonwealth S
Attorney Denman T. Rucker and
Mr.. Youell.

Truly dramatic changes in the
government of the nearly 1000, ,00G
people living in the National Capt.
tai would result if Congress enacts
the Auchincloss-Ball home rule
plan.
For the first time in "a years, the
people here would be allowed to
vote. They would elect city ad-
ministration responsible to them
selves. Through an elected council
of IL they would budget and spend,
enact purely local ordinances and
propose general legislation.
Their council, as the top city pol
icy body, would name a manager
to administer their programs. The
people would elect Board of Pub
lie Education of eight to take charge
of schools and libraries, running
them through two superintendents
The city, under certain limits
could borrow and float bonds.
BY use of the initiative, the voters
themselves 1could propose legislation
directly to Congress. Through ref
erendum machinery they could pass
on other major policies. By means
of recall procedure, they could kick
unsatisfactory elected officers out Of
their jobs.
Wholesale revamping Of the city
government would go with it, In
moves to simplify the present
agency pattern the critics say is
"crazy-quilt." Major divisions would
be streamlined into II departments
Some Federal agencies also would
be affected and the several congress
sional units dealing with District
affairs would be merged into one
Joint House-Senate District Com
mittee.
Would Rule Own Activities.
To a degree unknown today and
remembered only in the history OF
past generations, the tax-paying but
disfranchised District residents
could seek to rule their own city
activities not infringing on Federal
interests.
Yet, vital and multitudinous as
the proposed changes would be, the
plan would give District residents
no rights not already spread before
the citizenry of the States. In fact,
for the mere reason they live at the
seat of the Federal Government
they are offered less.
The plan still would leave them
without representation in. Congress

affairs, with special attention to the
needs and interests of the Fedora
Government. While the individual
member of Congress would have tht
same prerogatives now exercised
this work would be concentrated il

Committee.
Dual Voting" Involved.
Voting would be, open to all per-
sons resident here for year, q
years of age or older, who are citi.
zens of the United States not con-
victed of q felony or held to be in
sane or otherwise mentally incom-
tpetent. This involves so-called dual
voting rights" since persons resident
here but retaining voting privileges
in their home States would be per-
mitted to participate in District suf-
frage though they also voted back
home" in State and national elec-
tions.
Governors of most States queried
on this offered no contest and said
they would cooperate. Sponsors OF
this plan said it was designed to
swell the District electorate by quail
flying for participation here large
number of persons, generally highly
intelligent, who reside here and
must live under District rules.
The Auchincloss subcommittee
had compilation made by the
Library of Congress of pertinent
State law provisions. This showed
it said, that several" States now
disqualified voters if they also voted
in another State or Territory.
While the District Is neither a
State nor Territory, the subcommit-
tee added, 1t recognized that courts
could construe State laws to prohibit
dual voting" as proposed in the
plan for Washington. Also, II
agreed, State Legislatures could
adopt measures specifically disquali-
flying voters in the District from
voting in their States.
Governors Questioned.
With this issue raised, the sub.
committee then questioned the Gov.
ernors of most" of the States. Al
the report went to press, the sub.
committee said, replies received from
two-thirds of the States queriec
indicated a favorable reaction by 6
S to count. !,
Generally, the reasoning of the
Governors who are favorable" the
report states, was that the District
is a Federal area and that the intent
of Congress as expressed in Fedora
legislation would be respected BY
those States.
Many felt that if 1t were founc
that State laws were in conflict
State legislation would be enacted
specifically to authorize residents o1
those States to vote in local elec-
tions in the District without losing
State voting residence"
This convinced the Auchincloss
Subcommittee that most District
residents who vote back home woulc
not lose these rights by reason o.
participating in District elections.
If the dual voting proposal i!
enacted, the unit concluded, one o.
