Raise D. {. Total 10 1874

Fifteen new cases of polio were
reported in the District last week,
bringing the years total to 1874,
compared to 10 at the same time
last year.
The increasing number of cases
apparently is reversing the usual
trend, which shows a decline in
cases at the end of summer. ac-
cording to DR.. Carl C. Dauer, di-
rector of the Bureau of Prevent
able Diseases at the Health
Department. The prolongation of
the normal summer prevalence is
common to the North Atlantic
States in general this year, DR..
Dauer said.
OF the new cases reported, seven
were of the paralytic type, four
were non-paralytic and four were
cases in which the presence of
paralysis had not been determined.
Children's Hospital still was
treating 49 cases of polio at the
weeks end and Gallinger II. The
number of nonresident cases hos
pitalized here last week was II,
compared to 13 the week before.
Virginia's polio total last night
stood at 781, with no new cases
reported nearby but five elsewhere,
according to the Associated Press.

|Armory Use for S172, 500 in 81
Defense Center For Stop Liqhts
IS City intersections
Reported as Needing
SiqnuIs in Two Years

Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp has asked the Commis-
sioners to put $172,5o0 into the
budget for next year for installing
new traffic lights at important in
tersections in the District, the
Commissioners disclosed yesterday
in the traffic budget estimates.
To step up the program of ia
cilitating the traffic flow, Mr..
Keneipp said, rs important inter-
sections in the city needed traffic
lights. He asked for the appro-
priation so half of the needed
lights could be installed this year,
and he will ask for additional
money next year to complete the
program. The estimate accounted
for 69.1 per cent of the budget
increase asked.
The total amount asked for
fiscal 1852 is 81 ,282, 500. This years
appropriation was $1.100000.
Other Funds Sought.
The department also seeks
funds to change some of the older
traffic control lights so that q
better job of synchronization can
be done. Some older signals can
not be regulated to tie in with
other lights on heavily Travelled
streets.
In justifying the request for
lights, the traffic department said
traffic signals have not kept up
with the increase in traffic. AS a
result there is a growing backlog
OF about rs intersections where
lights are needed. Traffic counts
taken last June showed an in
crease of 12.5 per cent over the
same month in 1949. The depart
ment estimated that after the rs
new lights are installed the in
creasing traffic would add about
10 new traffic lights a year at
other intersections.
The department also seeks an
increase of Is employees to be as
signed to inspection stations,
driver examiners. inspectors, and
clerks for the title and tag regis
tration offices. It was pointed out
that in 1948 the daily average Of
persons seeking drivers permits
was 233. while for the first six
months Of this year the average
has been 400 day.
Money Asked for Uniforms.
Two thousand dollars is re-
quested also for uniforms for
driver permit examiners. Inspec-
tors at the two inspection stations
are now supplied with uniforms
but examiners who give road tests
are not. The reason they are not.
it was explained. was that a for
mer traffic director said the uni
forms might frighten persons TAX
ing the test. Washington is the
only jurisdiction in the country
where examiners are not uni
formed.

again asked $4,000 to conduct its

Jackpot of $4,000
Leads Couple to
Another for s., 500
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Sept. %. Mrs.
Ralph Harris of Echo, Mimi, won
the $500 Bill Cullen jackpot prize
today, CHS officials said, as the
result Of a $4,000 jackpot offered
by the same network that she and
her husband won two years ago.
In 1948 the Harris prize in
cluded a trip to Europe via New
Orleans. On the trip Mrs. Harris
viewed a Mississippi River paddle
wheeler.
For the last two months listen
ers to Bill Cullen's show have been
stumped attempting to identify a
secret sound.
More than $4,000 postcards had
been received, CHS officials said,
until they came across the one
from Mrs. Harris.
The secret sound was a Missis-
sippi River paddle wheeler.
