Arlington Police
Seeking Lead in
Payroll Ho|dup
Bandits Stolen Cor
Found After He Robs
Firm Of $500

Arlington police today dug for
Iclues in the $4,000 payroll holdup
lof an industrial plant by a bandit
who escaped in stolen automo-
Ibile.
Waving a pistol in red-gloved
hand, the bandit appeared late
yesterday in the Office of the Gray
Concrete Pipe Co., PITT jefferson
Davis highway, and forced the
plant manager to turn over the
money from an open safe.
H. M. Cooper, the manager, had
mistaken the man for a customer.
When he inquired what the
stranger wanted, the man drew
the pistol and ordered Mr.. Cooper
to get the money which was about
to be distributed to plant employees.
The holdup, just so feet off the
busy highway, came at the height
of the afternoon traffic rush.
Ordered to Lie on Floor.
The gunman, wearing a slouch
hat and dark glasses, required Mr..
Cooper to lie on the floor of his
office. then fed. In an adjoining
office was the plant owner, F. D..
Gray of Thomasville, N. c., but
he had been talking on a tele-
phone and his attention was not
drawn to the holdup.
Mr.. Cooper told police he got up
from the floor in time to note the
license of the automobile in which
the bandit drove off.
A check showed it to be a car
rented by the Alexandria Juvenile
and Domestic Relations Court. It
had been stolen Is minutes earlier
from a parking space on North
Patrick street, Alexandria, mile
from the holdup scene.
Car Found Abandoned.
The car was found abandoned
at South Fern and Twenty-fourth
streets, Arlington, at 6 pm. In an
effort to develop clues, the police
today busted the vehicle in a
search for fingerprints, but they
were dubious about the results be-
cause the man had gloves.
The police also were checking
for a possible connection with the
robbery of an Arlington house, less
than a block from the corner at
which the automobile was aban-
doned.
| Between 8 and 10 pm, the
police reported, some one broke
into the home of Pope A. Nc
Murry. a Capital Transit Co. en-
Iploye, at TIC South Twenty-fourth
street. and stole 500 in cash and
jewelry valued at $3.50.
May Have Had Accomplices.
Police investigated the possibil-
ity that the gunman had accom-
pliceS standing watch outside the
holdup scene.
On the basis of a report that
the fleeing bandit drove off toward
Washington. bridge blocks were
set up, but the search turned back
to Arlington after the car was
found.
Mr.. Cooper said the bandit was
|about 80 years old, weighed about
ITS pounds and stood feet 10
inches tall.

Parents
By DR.. Mortho M. Eliot
Chief Of Children's Bureau.

Il CnleI OF Cnllorens bureau.
What is the truth about f1uoride
the substance which when added
to municipal water supply partially
controls tooth decay?
Some Americans still have some
misconceptions about what fluo-
ridation is all about.
They think it is a costly prop
osition to put f1uorides in the
water supply of city systems.
They think that fiuoridated
water may be harmful to drink.
1t is perhaps natural that these
misunderstanding should exist.
Every one simply can't keep
abreast of all the advances in the
scope of our knowledge of Scien-
tif1c and natural benefits.
But the fact that about rs cities
in the country already have fluo-
ridated their municipal systems
and that other cities are consider
ing this as a method Of insuring
better teeth for children seems to
indicate a need to end current
misunderstanding about what
f1uoridation Is.
| The State of New York tested
out f1uoride in two cities there.
For a four-year period, f1uoride
was added to the water supply of
Newburgh, N. Y, and studies were
made in that city and Kingston,
where no f1uoride was present in
the water, to see if there was any
difference in decay rates.
| At Newburgh, the rate of tooth
decay in permanent teeth of chill
dren 6 to IL years old dropped
32.5 per cent. In Kingston, the
rate remained at the same level.
Dentists Bock FIuoridotion
In the first place, dentists
throughout the country are back
ing f1uoridation. Last year. at a
meeting of its house of delegates,
the American Dental Association
adopted a resolution recommend
ing "the f1uoridation of municipal
water supplies when the f1uorida-
ton procedure is approved by the
local dental society and utilized
in accordance with the standards
established by the responsible
health authority"
Far from discouraging f1uorida-
ton, dentists have been its firm
hackers in many communities as
a means of supplementing the
dental care which is available.
The American Academy of Pedia-
tries Study of Child Health Serv-
ices showed that IS per cent of the
services the average dentist
gives to children consist of filings
and eXtractions. Fluoridation.
which can reduce tooth decay as
much as 60 per cent among chill
dren up to the age of 8 years. is
a valuable addition to this dental
service.
Fluoridation has been in use
now long enough. and under
enough different situations, to get
pretty good idea of its cost
range. In Evanston, H.. for in
stance, the cost from February
1947, to February, 1948, was less
than 2 cents per capita.
The Cost Picture
The American Dental Associa-
ton. in a study of f1uoridation
published earlier this year, esti-
mated the cost range at from 4 to
IA cents per capita per year. The
variation depends on the amount
of fluorine in the water before
fiuoridation, the size of the COM

munity and the per capita use Of
water.
To fill out the cost picture, the
Wisconsin state dental director
reported "the fact that many
small communities of less than
1000 population are accurately
and economically adding huorides
to their public water supply should
dispel the fear that this public
health program can only be had In
large communities that employ
expert engineering personnel"
The argument that fluoridated
water may be harmful to drink
can best be answered by studies
already made, which show that
whe nthe amount of f1uorine in
the water supply is controlled, 1t
can be kept below the level where
it would produce mild. mottled
tooth enamel.
The amount of fluorine sug-
gested as proper for putting in a
municipal water supply is 10 parts
per million. which is the amount
of fluorine you get in a pork chop
and only an eighth as much Is in
canned salmon.

10000 Flee Homes
In Italian Flood Area;
Al Least "a Dead
BY the Associated Press

ROVIGO, Italy, Nov. 17.-Some
10000 persons were reported
fleeing their homes in the Po del
ia today as Italy's worst floods in
half a century continued their
death-dealing rampage that al
ready has cost at least 81 lives.
BY train, truck and boat, vii
layers and city dwellers hurried
to the safety of the northern
countryside.
They fled from this provincial
capital of 10000 shortly after
midnight as torrents of water be-
gan surging over the streets.
Thousands of others were pulling
out of some 40 villages which were
either engulfed by the food
waters or in immediate danger of
inundation.
Four Shot as LoOters.
Police in the little hamlet of
Villa Mariana near here shot and
killed four persons caught looting
the deserted homes of food vic
tins. 1t was the first report of
looting since the exodus from the
flood area started.
Premier Alcide de Gasperi took
part in the final decision asking
Rovlgo residents to evacuate the
city.
The Premier, who stayed in
Padua last night, spent all yeSter-
day watching volunteers provide
meals and shelter for thousands
OF refugees pouring in from the
stricken area.
He also conferred with local Of
flcials to get some idea of the
enormous reconstruction job that
will be needed to repair the flood
damage.
Since November 8, when high
winds and torrential rains struck
Northern Italy, millions of dollars
in damage have been wrought by
storms and floods.
The death toll stood at "a last
night, but officials feared many
more may have been lost in iso-
lated hamlets.
Up to last night officials had
hoped to avoid the flooding of
Rovigo by bombing the banks of
Bianco Canal to divert the ad-
vancing waters. italian Air Force
planes stood by all day with i'm
provised bomb racks, but heavy
fog kept them grounded.
Late last night Rovigo officials
decided it was too late to try to
stem the onrushing torrent.
Army and civilian units, includ-
ing detachments from British and
American Army occupation troops
in Trieste. have been fighting the
floods for two days. rescuing
stranded villagers and farmers
throughout the area.
