neer Commissioner Gordon r

here will be far in excess of the
amount requested now.

AS far as planning is concerned
Gen. Young added, II am informed

Drunken Driver Gets
1OO-Day Jail Term;
Has 2-Page Record

Judge Aubrey B. Fennell today
jailed a laborer for 100 days fol
drunken driving and four other
traffic charges.
Ordering the defendant, Leon
ard c. Williams, colored, 81. tc
pay $500 in fines or serve an addi-
tional 80 days, the Municipa,
Court jurist told him, "You may
as well take a loaded gun anc
run around the streets as drive
while you are drunk"
Along with a 90-day straight
time term for drunken driving
Williams, who lives in the $500
block of C street Sc, was given
10 days straight for leaving after
colliding, and $100 fines on each
Of two charges of driving on q
revoked permit. He must pay a
$100 fine on the colliding charge
or serve an additional 10 days,
which is the alternative time he
must serve if he fails to pay the
revoked permit fines.
The drunk charge grew out of
minor traffic accident yesterday
at East Capitol street and Central
avenue. Williams already had
been charged July % with leaving
the scene of an accident near the
Benning road NE. viaduct. In
both accidents he was driving a
truck, and on both occasions he
was found to be operating on ar

Phone Call Brings Aid.
Mr.. Abbott, the photographer
accompanied the team of Miss
Phipps and Mrs. Traina or
one of these excursions anc
got the remarkable pictures
on this page. Just before they
left the county health Office in the
morning, Miss Phipps was given a
note. A neighbor had telephoned
to say that there was very sick
child in the Arnold home near
Speedwell in the county and sug-
gested that a call be made there.
The photographer was outside
in Miss Phipps' car when the
team went into the Arnold house,
an old, wide. clapboard house be-
hind a stone wall. Mrs. Traina
came out, obviously disturbed.
I'VE think we have an active
case here" she said, land we are
going to have to bring him into
town.
The child was 3-year-old Zan
Arnold. Mrs. Traina's physical
examination of the boy, who had
a fever of 100, indicated he was
breathing with his stomach mus
cleS. If his chest muscles were
paralyzed it was the dread bulbar
type of the disease, and he might
have to be put into an iron lung
to live.
The father carried Fan to the
car, accompanied by the mother
and an uncle. At the Chitwood-
Moore Clinic. DR.. Chimer Moore
thought it was bulbar. He wanted
to take a spinal test. The parents
objected.
1T doesn't matter whether I
take it here, or it is taken in the
hospital" he said. tits going to
be done because this child is going
to the hospital"
In less than two hours, Zan was
in the hospital in Roanoke, 80
miles away.
The story has happy ending.
Fan Arnold was a positive case of
polio all right, but the paralysis
of the chest passed away and a
telephone call to Roanoke re-
vealed that he will be ready to re-
turn home in a few days with no
after effects.

The linoleum on the floor had

1t was indicated that Chairman

had not been taken.
During the hearings, 1t. Col
Thomas J. Hayes, III, assistant

with civil defense planning, tolo
a House Appropriations Subcom-

or is their anything that I can
do to that building in order tc

Col. Hayes said the District
was asking $4,000 to make a sur.

to make them safer.

The first case was that of 49,
month-old Johnny Seccafico, son
of the second baseman of the
Wytheville professional baseball
team. The infant who was
brought to Wytheville by his
parents in April, was stricken on
June 80. The Wytheville epi-
demic was unusual in the num-
ber of multiple cases in the same
family. A baby girl died, and 10
days later her 20-year-old father
died, leaving a widow and small
son. In one family of six children,
four were stricken and one died.
In another house where five
children lived downstairs and
three children on the floor above,
five were stricken.

For Next Year
Amounts Represent
About $3.50 Ruise
For 6 Major Groups

The Community Chest Fedora
ton today made public tentative
money ALLEGATIONS for expenses in
1851, based on a fall campaign
goal of SAL million-$524 900 more
than was raised last year.

by Federation President Chauncey
G. Parker.
A total of $2,779, ,839.93 is slated

sents an increase of about 3.5 per
cent over the amount received by
each Chest in 1947 or 1850, which,
ever year was the greater.
An increase of the same ratio
was applied to the federation's
disqualification fund in earmark-
ing $480,965.75 for the 1851 fund.
Due to insufficient money this
year, sharp cut-downs have been
registered in the numbers of per-
sons able to get hospital care at
Chest expense.
Breakdown of ALLEGATIONS.
The $2,779,S39.93 for member
Chests was allocated as follows:
UCS, $2,189,429.65; Alexandria.

Fairfax, $71,649.20; Monts somerv,

$121, ,384.87.
Further breakdowns included:

$480, ,965.75; Montgomery hospit-
aliEation fund, $21, 1,564.82.
Associated Services for the
Armed Forces, $71,727; contin-
gency fund, 100000; retirement
reserve, $91,500; federation adj
ministration and collections, $114,-
$50; campaign expense, $208,-
862.50; Community Chests and

The contingency fund is set up
for any emergency requests for
funds during the next calendar

about per cent of that organiza-
tion's national budget of $4.026,-

for funds already made available
this year.
The federation president added
that UCS now is developing a
