Mother Gets Army
ToReturn SOMEHOW
He May Re-enist

Now that Mrs. Hilda Oxford
has talked the Army into return
ing her underage paratrooper son
home from Korea, she's got new
worries.
Until yesterday, Mrs. Oxford,
who lives at 6511 Allegheny ave-
nue., Takoma Park, Md, was wor-
ried only with convincing the
Army that her son, Pvt. Spencer
Bob" Oxford, was only II; had
falsif1ed his age in June, 1949, to
enlist against her permission, and
had no business being on ship
bound for Korea.
Today Mrs. Oford is worried
about Bob's re-enlisting on Sep
TENDER "a when he officially be-
comes 10.
Even though Mrs. Oxford did
not give her permission for Bob
to enlist when he was Is, she
went along with the deal since he
was stationed at Walter Reed in
the chaplain's Office. 1t was after
Bob finished paratrooper train
ing at Fort Benning, Ca, and
headed for the coast that Mrs.
Oxford sought his return.

By Ted Mcdowell

A rehabilitation program aimed
at putting bed-ridden patients on
their feet and teaching them a
trade is being set up in Gallinger
Hospital as a model for the Ma
ton.
DR.. Joseph Fazekas. Gallinger
chief of staff, said more than 20
per cent of the 1900 patients in
the hospital can be returned to
gainful employment through the
program.
Many of these patients have
been in the hospital for more than
year at an average cost of $12
a day per patient to the District,
he said.
Some patients have serious bed
sores simply because there is no
program to get them out of bed
and keep them occupied" DR..
Fazekas stated. "A rehabilitation
program is an essential part of a
general hospital and We need one
here"
DR.. Fazekas cited a recent sur
vey made at Gallinger by DR.. Dom
aid Covalt of Bellevue Hospital,
New York, which stated that
establishing such a program would
mean a tremendous saving to the
District.
For instance, the report said the
District is spending $48,180 a year
on IL patients at Gallinger who
are paralyzed from the waist
down.

Little is being done to fit them
with braces, to teach them how
to care for themselves. to walk or
travel, and there is no vocational
counseling service to assist them
in learning and finding a trade
which they can carry out in
terms of their ability" DR.. Covalt
stated.
To remedy this situation, the
District, in cooperation with the
United States Public Health Serv-
ice, has begun setting up a reha-

Little Change Is Noted
In Food Prices Here;
Eggs Up St a Dozen

The cost of living showed little
change in the Washington area
during the last week as far as
food prices are concerned, a spot
check showed today.
The Associated Press reported
increased meat and other food
prices across most of the Nation
but the increases for the most
part have not appeared in local
markets.
The Associated Press survey in
dicated higher prices and citec
the weekly Dun and Bradstreet
wholesale food price index which
Jumped this week from $685. tt
$3.50. The index represents the
total cost of pound each Of
81 foods in general use.
Eggs Up 5 Cent.
One retail authority here citec
an increase in egg prices during
the last week as a foretaSte Of
fall. This increase was in line
with the National trend. Egg
prices, he said, are running 5 cents
dozen higher than a week ago
Butter prices also are slightly
higher, he noted.
Various cuts of fresh pork are
somewhat lower than a week age
despite the national trend for
high pork prices. Beef, poultry
and vegetable prices are prac-
tically unchanged in Washington
and the immediate area.
Production Decline.
/, A late summer production de-
cline has boosted prices a trif1e
in most areas for creamery but
ter and cheese.
Canned goods prices continued
to hold steady, although unfavor-
able weather has cut the size OF
a few of the crops which probably
will command higher prices when
they reach the market. Among
canned items that may be in this
category are tomatoes, lima beans,
cream-style corn and salmon.

How 1t Is to Work.
Briefly. rehabilitation will work
like this:
Physical medicine will be en-
ployed to ready the patient to do
tasks involved in learning a trade.
A vocational counselor will inter-
view and test the patient to see
what type of job he is interested
in and capable of doing. An ocu-
pational therapist will start him
on the road to learning a trade,
usually a non-strenuous one such
as watch repairing, X-ray work
or shoe repair.

Types of Patients.
She said those who can be aided
are sufferers of heart diseases
tuberculosis, arthritis, polio, other
types of paralysis and stroke VIC
Tins.
DR.. Buchanan stressed that moi
every such patient can be rehabili.
tated. The patient must have the
desire to learn new job, the co.
ordination to do the job and the
necessary intelligence.
Anyone able to use his hands
at all. however, and who has
enough intelligence to follow in
structionS can be made partly OF
wholly income producing through
such a program" she said.
Some patients have been in
Gallinger one or more years. and
they could be put back on their
feet and earn living. They would
no longer be wards of the city.
The cost to the city would be
less" she stated.
A recent survey at Goldwater
Hospital in New York showed that
of 100 patients treated under a
rehabilitation program, 70 per
cent now are maintaining them
selves at home instead of at the
hospital and SO per cent are back
in income-producing work, DR..
Buchanan stated.
She said every move will be
aimed at teaching a patient some
thing useful, and there will be
no playing around with basket
weaving or chair caning-we'll
teach them useful trade"
