Health For All
Cerebral Palsy
Column Sponsored By
Maryland tuberculosis ASSOC


Few people realize that there are
some 100000 children in the United
States crippled or disabled in some
degree by cerebral palsy, condition
brought about by injury to the brain.
The majority of brain injuries re-
sulting in cerebral palsy happens
before or during birth, or comes
from faulty development of the
brain cells. The failure of an infant
to breathe Immediately after birth,
a condition known as "anoxia," can
injure the brain and is frequently
the cause of cerebral palsy.
At one time, people believed that
most cases of cerebral palsy were
caused by accidental but avoidable
injuries to infants at the time of de-
livery. We now know that most fac
tors are beyond the control of the
obstetrician - for example, incom-
plete development during pregnancy,
injuries during difficult labor, or the
baby's delay in breathing for various
reasons.
Cerebral palsy, the impairment or
loss of control of the muscles, may
be mild or severe, depending on the
extent of the injury. In some chill
dren, just one part of the body, a leg
or an arm, may be affected In Sc
we're cases, there is lack of control
over arms, legs, and speech, and
sometimes sight and hearing are af-
| fected The type and amount of dis
ability depend on the area of the
brain affected and the extent of the
damage.
Years ago, it was believed that
cerebral palsy meant that the victim
was also feeble-minded Today we
know that mental deficiency does not
necessarily go along with the physi-
cal disability Tests have proved
that the mental ability of about two
thirds of cerebral palsy children
ranges from slight mental retarda-
ton to normal and occasionally SUI
perior intelligence. Many of the re-
naming one-third mentally retarded
children can be taught and trained in
special schools and institutions.
These days, parents of cerebral
palsy children can be greatly en-
couraged by the strides medical
} science has taken recently in eff
fective treatment of a child so hand
icapped For with prompt treatment
and modern methods of training, the
majority Of cerebral palsy children
can grow up to be normal, healthy
adults, able to earn their own living
and capable of getting full enjoy
ment out of life.

Report From
Washington
By U. S. Senator Herbert R. O'COnOr

BY u. >. Senator herbert IL. OCOnOr
Declaring its belief that there is a
clear necessity for a program of
Universal Military Training and
Service" the Senate Committee on
Armed Services has submitted its
report on military. manpower pro-
posals.
Under the proposals, it is unlikely,
despite the recommended reduction
in the draft age to 18 years, that any
18-year-olds will get into combat
before their 18th year.
So many safeguards are set up in
the Armed Services Bill, to insure
that "all available" manpower in
the 19-through-25 age group is ex-
hausted, that these, combined with
the further regulations that those
who are 18 years, II months must be
taken first, then those who are 18
years, 10 months, ETC., it would seem
most improbable that any men un-
der 10 will see action.
Among the screening processes
which the Committee suggests are:
l. Re-check of all If deferments
in the under-26 year group; 2. Comb
ing of this under-26 group with re-
spect to industrial or other exemp-
lions heretofore, to include married
men without children; 3. Lessening
of physical requirements to permit
inductions for Initiated service, etc.
Marking a basic change in our
country's approach to military pre-
paredness, the Senate Committees
Report was the elimination of leng-
thy hearings at which military lead
ers, educators, Representatives of
student and other youth organiza-
tons, and of various civic groups, as
well as individuals, were given OPP
portunity to voice their views in the
matter.
Other points stressed in the Arm
ed Services Committee Report which
deserve note, are:
l The Committees conviction that
the necessity for defending this ma
ton is a universal duty. There
fore, y. universally, not selectivity
should be the basis of assignment fol
military duty.
2. There is no sanction or oppor.
tunity for "draft-dodging" in the
bills provisions. For example, while
the Committee felt the necessity t.
provide broad authority for loca
boards to defer men now training tt
be doctors, or to permit deferral o
an ample number of young men TO
,, special study and research in scien
tific fields, no individuals or group
totally escape the obligations TO
military service.
8. Those men who enter the col
lege training program must com
plete basic training before or durin
college and, upon graduation, ar
: still obligated to complete the ful
! term of military service required.
The Report stressed the conviction
! that calling of young men at the ag
of Is imposes the minimum impac
upon his life and upon the life of tn
community.

7 REMEMBER"
By THE oLDFIMERS

From Mrs. 81. E. ChrIsman, Scots
bluff, Neb.: I remember when
anything good was "boss"-"Oh,
we had boss tirne!" we'd say,
when asked if we enjoyed ourselves
when the city fellow was going
to play your violin accompaniment
and couldn't get a sound out of the
organ because he didn't know how
to pull out the stops.
From Mrs. Mamie Smiley, Science
Hill, KY: I remember when
was a little girl my mother used to
dry apples and sell them at country
stores for two and a half cents
pound. She also sold her hens for
Is cents apiece, and her eggs for
five cents a dozen. She bought ging-
ham and print for five cents a
yard to make my six sisters and
myself dresses. We thought we
were fine if we could have a dress
made of eight-and-one-third cents
yard goods.
From Mrs. Nettie MILAN, Fair
mont, w. Va: 1 remember when
the swain with the two-horse buggy
led all the rest; when the sofa was
called the sparkling bench; when
the young man took his girl to
church or the theater, she was eX-
pected to hold his hat in her lap;
when a girl declined the escort OF
some young man, the gossips had
it that she had given him the nit
ten.
From Mrs. Mary Stewart, Chicago:
My mother used to tell about at
tending a mock funeral in Chicago
for President Garfield. An immense
black hearse, drawn by eight black
horses, heavily draped in a black
mesh blanket, with fringe touching
the ground, immense black ostrich
feathers standing up from their
ears, slowly carried a black coffin
through the Loop. Several bands
played mournful dirges and march
es and crowds of crying people
watched from every vantage point.

Montgomery Group
Planned by Democrat,

Montgomery County's Demo-
cratic State Central Committee
began planning today for a party
council open to all registered
Democrats in helping determine
policy.
The project was adopted last
might at meeting of approx
mately go per cent officials and
Democratic workers in the Rock
vile Courthouse.
Proposed by James w. Gill, a
former member Of the House of
Delegates and attorney to the
Liquor Board, the council is in
tended to put new life in the
party which has been out of power
since 1916.
I'VE want to get down to the
grass roots level and let every
Democrat have a say in determin-
ing party policies" Mr.. Gill said.
His resolution provides that the
State Central Committee will act
on executive committees for the
council, while precinct leaders will
serve as an advisory body.
Those attending last nights
meeting also adopted a resolution
Opposing a bill before the County
Council which would set up a
board Of appeals to hear coming
cases. This function now is ex-
|ercised by the County Council.

Two Arlington Democrats, Den
man T. Rucker and Malcolm D.
Miller, announced today they will
be candidates for County Com

Mr.. Rucker, the incumbent. said
he will be a candidate in the Au-

Mr.. Miller, who is vice-presi-

of the Arlington Democratic
Executive Committee might ex-

Appeals Court Defers
Hearing on Jury Oath

The question of whether grand
jury witnesses must take their
'oaths in the presence of judge
was still up in the air today after
the Maryland Court of Appeals
decided against holding a hearing
this week on a protest to this
procedure.
At meeting in Annapolis last
might the court said it would not
place the question ahead of other
cases on its agenda.
The court intends to close out
its 1850 term this week. There
was no indication whether it
would agree to hear the matter at
its next sitting. But Prince
Georges County attorneys who
ARE seeking a ruling in the case
said they had been informed last
week the court definitely would
hand down a decision.
The attorneys, who are seeking
a writ of habeas corpus for a
Prince Georges man accused Of
rape. noted an appeal after Judge
j. Dudley Digges ruled in e-unty
Circuit Court three weeks ago
that the indictment returned
against the defendant is valid.
The court upheld the indictment
despite the fact that witnesses
who testified before the grand
jury were swcrn by a deputy clerk
in a place apart from either of
the two c.rcuia Court rooms.
Judge Digges d'nied the habeas
corpus petition and remanded to
jail Norman R. Strait, Al, charged
with attacking a 72-year-old Bla-
densburg woman on February !.

Alexandra League Says
Tax Cut Was Misleading

The Alexandria League Of
Women Voters today charged
that the City Council had mis-
led" the public last fall when the
real estate tax rate was reduced
on the basis of a $514,000 surplus.
A statement issued by the
League said that deficit of $685.
283 is contemplated in the new
budget for the fiscal year begin
ming July /. The city, in the
past, operated on a fiscal year
coincident with the calendar year
and a budget was adopted on
that basis last fall.
The league recalled that 1t ap-
Ipeared before the council in the
fall to oppose any reduction in the
real estate tax rate.
"The leagues position in this
matter is more than vindicated,"
said Mrs. Warren H. Turner, jr.,
league president, "but we are now
deeply concerned that the city
find tax money to pay for needed
services and capital improve
|ments."
Mrs. Turner said the League
had suggested on several occasions
appointment Of a citizens tax
commission to set UP a tax struc.
|ture for the city.

Bid for Industries

The Prince Georges County
commissioners, eager to attract
new industry to the county. are
considering a seldom used financ-
ing plan for a new road alongside
Ia $5 million warehouse being con-
structed by Safeway Stores.
Under the plan, Safeway and
the Pennsylvania Railroad Co.
owners of the land adjoining the
site of the warehouse in the 740C
block of Sheriff road, would pay
the costs of constructing a new
road between Tuxedo and Sheriff

the road in the immediate future
which would be impossible if i
were put on the regular schedule
of roads to be built by the county
The commissioners expressed
willingness to cooperate with th'
two firms in the matter ane
pointed out that the road alst
will be needed by other indus
tries expected to locate in tina
area. The road will be something
short of a mile long and will cos
an estimated 100000.

Council Told 10 Keep
Authority Over Zone
Map in Montgomery

The Montgomery County Civic
Federation has asked the County
Council to retain authority over
amendments to the zoning map.
The action was taken at spe-
cial meeting last night in the
County Building, Bethesda, to
consider 18 bills introduced in the
councils legislative session.
In bill No. 9 the council seeks
to set up board Of appeals to
which would be transferred the
functions of the present Board of
Zoning Appeals. The new board
also would handle all applications
for rezoning.
The federation has no objec-
ton to the establishment of the
new board but feels the council
should retain its zoning authority
The federation also questioned
the salary scale setup in the bill
as being "too high for part time
and too low for full time
The federation asked for amend
ment of bills IS and II provid-
ing for audit by a certified pub
lie accountant of the financial
transactions of fire departments
The audit should be confined to
public funds received by these
departments and should not in
clude private funds, the fedora
ton believes. In it's present form
the bill would have the effect
of discouraging work on a vol
untary basis, the federation said

mittee to have the county author
ization for school construction, as
set forth in bill 6, increased from

feated by a vote of 1921. Op-
Iponents of the resolution included
