Order Of Witnesses
In Butler Hearinq

The subcommittee hearing for
mer Senator Millard E. Tydings'
charges against Republican Sen
ator Butler of Maryland was to
meet in executive session today
to determine the order of wit
nesses and plan the future course
OF the inquiry.
Chairman Monroney called the
session during a recess in the
public hearings until Tuesday to
allow Republican Minority Counsel
Ralph Becker additional time to
familiarize himself with the case
which involves charges of "scurril-
Gus and untrue" campaign htera-
ture used against Mr.. Tydings.
The Subcommittee on Privileges
and Elections, made up of two
Democrats and two Republicans,
already has furnished Senator
Butler with a list of prospective
witnesses and a summary of their
probable testimony.
Key Witnesses Lined Up.
Key witnesses probably will be
those with flrst-hand knowledge
OF the printing in Washington and
the distribution in Maryland of
half million copies of a four
page tabloid, From the Record. !"
The subcommittee Tuesday
|overruled Senator Buffers request
for more time to study the case
before Mr.. Tydings was heard in
public. Mr.. Tydings then proceed
ed to make a blistering attack on
the conduct of the campaign which
defeated him and asked the sub
committee to recommend GRIM
inal action under the District libel
laws against those responsible for
the tabloid.
The witness did not directly
name those he thought should be
prosecuted and asked the commit
tee to take action only if his
charges are verified by later testi-
mony.
Tissue of Lies" Charged.
He described the tabloid as a
tissue of lies" containing a faxed
photograph purporting to show
him in friendly association with
Earl Browder, former Communist
leader.
The witness charged the tabloid
was printed by the Washington
Times Herald, and the man who
admittedly did the faxed photo
graph" was Frank Smith, then
chief editorial writer for the
Times Herald.
Mr.. Tydings said his opponent
not only rewarded Mr.. Smith by
appointing him administrative as
sistant at $4,000 a year. but per-
sonally guaranteed $4,000 in
payment to Baltimore printer
who distributed the tabloid.

Commissioners Study
Plans to FIuorinute
D. c. Water Supply

The proposal to fluoridate
the District water supply to
reduce tooth decay is before
the Commissioners for action.
DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger,
District director of public
health, sent his Recommended
ton of the project to the city
heads yesterday and asked for
favorable action. He pointed
out that the project met with
the approval of the District
Water Department and the
District sanitary engineer.
An analysis of the expert
ences other cities have had
with f1uoridation of water
supplies, made by DR.. A. Harry
Ostrow, director of the Bu-
reau of Dental Services, ac-
companied DR.. Seckinger's

| ed to Newburgh's water. Later
new school children were exam
ined as they entered school for
the first time.
What Studies Show.
Here's what the study has
shown SO far:
In Newburgh, with fluoridated
water, the number of decayed,
missing or filled teeth decreased
from 81 per 100 teeth before
fuoridation to 14.8 per 100 by
1949. In Kingston, where the wa
ter has not been treated, the num-
ber of decayed, missing or filled
teeth remained 81 per 100
throughout the whole period.
Thus, an improvement of about
80 per cent was noted in teeth
conditions among children in
Newburgh, where the fluoridated
water is used.
In addition to the use of
f1uoridated water supplies, the
dental professions has developed
topical fluoride" treatments to
supplement the doctored water.
The District Health Department
has such treatment program
now among public school children
here, DR.. Ostrow pointed out. It
was begun on a large scale this
school year for the first time. The
previous year demonstration
teams had worked in the school
dental clinics.
DIR. Ostrow explained he has
$4,000 for this years program.
That will allow treatments for
about half of the school children.
He said he has asked for only
half of the funds necessary to
carry a full program so he could
be able to show results and JUS
tify the full sum necessary later.
Four Teams at Work.
Four f1uoride teams-consisting
of a dentist. two hygienists and a
clerk-are working on the school
program.
Used alone, the topical treat
ment can be expected to reduce
decay by possibly as much as 40

Three Women Are Held
After Apartment Ruid

Three women today faced
charges in connection with police
raid on an apartment in the 1900
block of r street NV.
Charges of operating a disor-
derly house, vagrancy and selling
whisky without a license were
placed against Mrs. Margaret Lee

grancy were Mrs. Jean Gibson. 36,

ment and other costs would be the
same.
A third type of chemical. hydro.
f1uorsilic acid, would cost $100. 1861
a year, and the new equipment
about $4,000.
DR.. Ostrow said the sodium
f1uorsilicate is the most likely
compound to use. since it is
cheaper and easy to handle.
AS far as he knows, DR.. Ostrov
said, the only issue that will arise
is which city department will
carry the cost of the program
against its budget.
The Water Department wants
it charged against the Health De-
partment on the ground it is pre-
ventive medicine. DR.. Ostrow said
he feels it belongs in the Water
Department budget but that he
will not make any serious issue
because he is anxious for the pro-
gram to get under way.
Italian Case Studied.
The relation between fluoride in
water and the decay of teeth was
first postulated at the turn of the
century by an English chemist.
At about the same time an Amer
lean doctor attached to the Amer
lean consulate in Naples, Italy,
issued a report noting the dis
colored teeth of Italians in the
area where the water was duor-
idated naturally.
In fact, interest in what
caused this discoloring of the
teeth in areas where water nat
urally contained fluorides led to
the research in the preventive
aspects of the compound. Many
cities in the United States have
naturally fluoridated water and,
in areas where the concentration
is too great, ''mottled enamel"
results.
The concentration recommend
ed for city water supplies-one
part Of fluoride to each million
parts Of water-eliminates any
danger Of discoloring, the USPHS
says.

Now it's reading, writing and
arithmetic-and politics-in Mrs.
Elna May Miller's fifth grade
at Bradley Elementary School,
Bethesda.
The 40 fifth graders have
adopted the county manager
form of government with con-
stitution and all the trimmings:
They drew up the constitution
| themselyes-in their own Ian
guage - after studying several
types of constitutions and gov
ernmentS.

United Fifth Grade" prescribes
rules of conduct for every school
time activity, even the matter
OF ''fooling around in the cloak
room.p
The constitution is even receiv-
ing the attention of a distin-
gulshed editor and author of law
casebooks, Noel t. Dowling, Har-
Ian Fiske Stone professor of Con-
stitutional Law at Columbia Uni
versity.

Health Service and the dental
profession are backing the move
/ to f1uorinate water supplies over
the Nation. So far, more than go
communities have undertaken it.
DIR. Ostrow estimates the pro-
gram will cost about II cents a
year per person in Washington
| if one type of fiuoride is used. and
only about 512 cents if another is
selected.
Youth Principal Beneficiaries.
The results, USPHS says,
would be:
Dental decay in children will be
reduced about 65 per cent and the
appearance OF their teeth i'm
proved.
Fluoridating the city's water
supply will reduce sharply the
dental bills of the younger gen.
Grafton, the USPHS says.
Adults may benefit some, but
to what extent has not been de-
termined by research as yet.
To gain the full benefit of
huoridated water. children must
drink it when their teeth are form
ing, or from birth to about 8 years
of age, USPHS says. The pro.
lection gained, will last through
out their lives.
Normally, one part of 1uoride
to a million parts of water Is the
concentration that should be used
in a city water supply. It does
not add taste, color or hardness
to water. No ill effects are known
to result from drinking such treat
ed water, any more than you will
be made. i'll from drinking water
treated with the deadly chlorine,
poison gas used In World War
and now used in all city water
systems.
No Chance for Illness.
DR.. Ostrow declared:
There's no chance of any one
being made i'll. You would have
to drink 400 gallons of water at
one time to get sick"
At present, 10 controlled studies
are under way in the United
States. Fluorides have been added

zoning Revision Foes
Outweigh Supporters
AT County Hearing

Objection to proposed amend
ments to the Montgomery County
zoning ordinance with regard to
roomers and boarding houses out
weighed approval at a hearing
last night before the County
Council in the Liquor Dispensary
Building, Silver Spring.
The amendment would legalize
two roomers in residential A zones
permit temporary use of a single
family dwelling for a rooming
house with the permission of the
Board of Zoning Appeals, and
change the definition of board
ing houses" and "rooming houses
to permit nine guests instead of
the present five, and tourist
homes" to permit IL transient
guests instead of five.
Under present law no paying
guests are permitted under any
OF these categories in residential
A zones. FF
The amendments are proposed
by the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission to
clarity the present gsituation and
make enforcement possible. !.
The League of Women Voters
and the County Housing Author
ity asked that action be deferred
until health and safety regulations
have been adopted. William C..
Burrage of the planning commits
sion and Morton Thomas of the
county license and inspection de-
partment, said such regulations
are almost complete and will be
submitted to the County Council
within a, few months.
Both the league and the hous-
ing authority objected to granting
temporary permits for rooming
houses. Mrs. Helen Derryberry
league spokesman, said she be-
lieves the amendment providing
for the granting. of temporary
permits "has been proposed be-
cause it offers the easiest way out
of an immediate administrative
problem. In our opinion it is
short sighted and would create
more problems than it solves"
She urged establishment of transi-
ton zones in neighborhoods where
rooming house and tourist home
violations have become common
place.
Mr.. Burrage said transition
zones are. contemplated in the new
zoning code now being drawn.

 In days of old, the Air Pocket" was the pilots refuge when he clobbered up. During the economically enlightened mid-1920's, we realized how corny the "Air-Pocket" was, so we called it a down-draft, and have continued ever since to seek refuge in it.
 Maybe, it's a fine alibi be- tween pilot and his friends who know no better, but the costliness of it all occurs when the pilot believes it himself. Then he is not prepared to avoid similar accidents.
 Air Pockeis?"
 Two different pilots (who re- ported the wind as five miles an hour) Init a down-draft," as they were climbing to cross over a hill, had no room to turn, and stopped abruptly in the trees.
 One more pilot did the same thing in a reported 15 mile an hour wind. In order to prove his point, he cid it twice in the same place within two weeks, completely running two air planes, and is, himself, still un- dergoing a major overhaul.
 Comment: When an airplane is approaching a hill and is below the top of the hill, the closer the airplane gets to the hill, the higher the apparent horizon gets. A stall may easily develop.
 Action: Get the nose down whenever the airplane starts settling. Always leave room to make a 180 degree turn in a descending path.

Mary, the Mother of Jesus Christ, was a virgin throughout her life.
 This is an article of faith which every Catholic must be- lieve because it is one of God s truths revealed through Scrip ture and through Tradition. Now Tradition comes to us by word of mouth and by written word, that is, the writings of the early Fathers. As both are Gods revelations, they cannot conflict.
 But aren't there conflicts? For instance, was Mary always a virgin? Yes says tradition. But don't both Matthew and Mark contradict this when they tell us of the "brethren of the Lord?
 Brethren of the Lord sure "; but if this means blood brothers, then how about other texts? For instance, the Scrip lures plainly imply that these brethren were older than Jesus. If blood-brothers, then Mary must have had children before Jesus. Then Jesus was not born of a virgin Then St. Luke's famous first chapter is entirely askeW.
 Again, if Jesus had blood brothers, why is He so frequent ly called the "son of Mary only He? If He had blood-broth CTS why did He not, when dying on the Cross, confide His Blessed i Mother to one of them rather i than to St. John who was the son of Zebedee and Salome? ! And so we become entirely confused-until the scholars tel us that the Hebrew term fol
