400 of '49s Polio Victims Here
Escape Physical Impairment

Gallinger polio unit and one of
the city's top authorities on the
disease, said aid from the polio
foundation in the form of equip
ment and nurses, who often are
needed for around-the-clock bed
side care. undoubtedly saved
lives"
The polio chapters also stepped
in to help patients families meet
the costly hospital bills. with
money raised in the annual March
Of Dimes drives. The expenses of
many families were taken over
completely. Nearly every family
lreceived some help.
After the two-week Isolation"
period. patients at Children's S
either are sent home or, if muscle
weakness or paralysis is present,
are sent to a special polio ward.
When constant hospital treat
ment no longer is necessary, the
patients go home but return peri
odically for care at special clinic.
At present, the hospital reported,
SO children who were stricken last
year return regularly for physical
therapy treatments at the clinic,
where the therapist is paid by the
District chapter of the polio
foundation. Another 20 patients,
including those living in nearby
Maryland and Virginia, receive
care elsewhere.
Regular Check Ups Follow.
To keep a close check on the
large number of patients who ap-
parently escape permanent harm,
the hospital also has set up a
separate clinic. The former
patients are asked to return
regularly for general checkups
over 1ve-year period.
At Gallinger. where "a of the
years polio victims were adults,
patients who pass through the
acute stage of illness are routed
either to the crippled children's
ward or to a special ward at
Providence Hospital. financed by
the polio chapter. Clinics at the
two locations also are in opera
ton to provide the essential fol-
low-up care, AS is. the case at
Children's, non-residents of the
District receive the folloW-up care
in their own counties or States
Under another program the
District polio chapter also sends a
physical therapist to the homes
OF some patients, who otherwise
would have to be hospitalized.

Some Changes Urged
At Alexandra Hearinq
On Proposed Charter

Twenty-Five persons who at
tended the first public hearing on
a proposed new Alexandria City
Charter last night voiced little
opposition to its provisions.
Several suggestions for changes
were made. however. The pro-
posal was made public two months
ago.
Schools Supt. T. C. Williams
called the City Councils attention
to provisions in the charter which
he said may conflict with State
law governing School Boards.
Questions Provision on Funds.
Mr.. Williams questioned word
ing of a charter provision govern
ing expenditure of funds. Coun-
cilmen agreed that under State
law the city could not control
school expenditures once an ap-
preparation is made.
Mr.. Williams also questioned
the wisdom of having an employ
ment rating system apply to school
teachers. The council agreed to
exclude teachers. .
Councilman Leroy Benheim said
that under State law, the School
Board is an independent body and
acts as State agency. Once
school board members are ap-
pointed, the council has no fur
ther jurisdiction over them, he
said.
Councilmen indicated they
would change the charter to fol-
low State law in school matters
Urges Commission Provision.
H. G. Moeller, president of the
Alexandria Community Welfare
Council, said he believed>the char
ter should require appointment
OF a juvenile court advisory COM
mission. Appointment of the COM
mission under the present char
ter, he said, is left up to the judge
Ceuncilmen informed him the new
charter would permit council to
appoint commissions of any kind
After the public hearing the
council went into executive ses-
sion. Another public meeting will
be held after councilmen announce
changes they intend to make in
the proposed charter. Council
men plan to give the charter final
approval SO it can be adopted at
the present session of the Virginia
Legislature.

Maryland University
BY the Associoted Press

| ANNAPOLIS, Feb. Gov.
Lanes new budget allots $13,770,-
773 to the University of Maryland
for the fiscal year starting July /.
The budget also sets aside
$4,212, ,O44 for public schools. OF
this, Montgomery County would
receive $1,217,118 and Prince
Georges, $2,894,926. Thus, the
State would pay 65 per cent of the
cost of operating Prince Georges
County schools and more than 80
per cent of the Montgomery Coun-
ty outlay.
Of the University of Maryland
ALLEGATION, $5,711,585 would come

than the current working budget,
which includes $8,179,301 in spe-
cial funds. $5,766,585 in general
funds and $635,679 from Federal
sources.
I The university does not expect
tc get as large q freshman class
as usual next September because
of the shiftover this year from
an 11-year to 12-year school
system in most of the counties.
Most of the s120, 600 drop in spe-
cial funds was accounted for be-
cause of this.
Although the budget shows a
$55 900 drop in the amount the
university would receive from
general funds, it actually will
have more State money to spend.
The current budget included
$442, ,450 for maintenance of a
psychiatric clinic at University
Hospital. This was unused and
will revert to the State treasury.

"It is earlier than you
think"
David E. Lilienthal looked at his
new watch, a ''goodby'' gift from
the employees of the Atomic En-
ergy Commission.
But he didn't seem interested
in the time the watch denoted.
His cryptic remark referred to the
future. An atomic future of peace
or war or happiness or holocaust.
During the reception in the
Hotel 2400, given for him by Acc
employees last night, the atomic
bomb and the still undeveloped
hydrogen bomb seemed to perfect
their implications like invisible
guests.
Il believe it is earlier than you
think"

Not Pessimistic.
"It is not later than you think, p"
he added later. "All this is the
beginning. I'm not pessimistic
about the future"
And then, as if to reassure the
public again that the Atomic Age,
Notwithstanding the possible H
bomb, may bring far greater good
than, evil. Mr.. Lilienthal stressed:
This is not the 18th hour"

Fairfax Delays
Plans for Sale
OF Sewer Bonds
Annexation Moves
By Falls Church
Cited in Decision

Fairfax County's $3,000,o00
sewer improvement program today
was at a standstill because of an
nexation plans by Falls Church
and Alexandria.
Sale of bonds to finance the
project was halted by discovery Of
legal technicality yesterday
shortly before bids were to be
opened,
Bond attorneys advised the
county supervisors not to accept
any bids because Falls Church has
in effect an ordinance authorizing
annexation of part of the sewer
bond issue area. This ordinance.
attorneys held, is the beginning
of annexation proceedings. They
said it was impossible, therefore,
to certify that the bond area was
free of litigation.
Suit Filed in July.
commemorative Attorney Hugh
Marsh said he did not know
until yesterday that Falls Church
annexation proceedings were still
in effect.
Falls Church adopted the an
nexation ordinance and filed suit
in July. The city withdraw its
suit, however, and later an
nounced it would seek to annex a
smaller territory.
This action led Fairfax officials
to believe the sewer bond area
was free from litigation. Sale Of
the bonds would not be affected
by annexation plans not officially
instituted.
The bond issue was approved by
referendum vote last August. It
would finance purchase Of the
Federally owned Holmes Run
trunk sewer and construction Of
a disposal plant and new sewer
lines. The project involves only
Sanitary District No. /, which is
a 30-square-m mile strip adjacent
to Arlington, Alexandria and Falls
Church.
The problem is further COM
pllcated by Alexandria annexa-
ton plans. No ordinance has
been adopted. but the city Is ex-
pected to start proceedings soon.
Agreement Sought.
The supervisors decided to try
TO work out some agreement with
Falls Church and Alexandria off,
cials. They admitted the easiest
solution would be for Falls Church
to revoke it's annexation ordinance,
and Alexandria to delay it's plans
until the bonds are sold.
Falls Church officials had no
immediate comment. pending a
| special council meeting Saturday.
The sewer program has been a
source Of friction between the two
Jurisdictions. Fails Church un-
successfully tried to get county
residents to vote against the bond
issue. Its passage caused with
drawal of the city's annexation
suit at that time.
| Falls Church opposed the sewer
program because city residents
would have to pay higher sewer
fees. Most of Falls Church Is
served by the Holmes Run trunk
sewer. Falls Church now may
t try to bargain for lower sewer
rates.
The city's new position also
may enter the controversy about
assuming a share of the county's
boned debt. Aportionment of old
debts has been argued since Falls
Church became a second-class
city and was separated from Fair
fax County.
