Over Ban on Drivers
With Faulty Hearing

A proposed Interstate Commerce
Commission restriction to prevent
persons with partial loss of hear
ing from driving interstate buses
and trucks has drawn a sharp
blast from the Federal Security
Agency's Office of Vocational Re-
Mobilization.
Miss Mary E. Switzer, OVR di-
rector, charged that the ICC pro-
posal completely ignores the pos
sibility of correction with hearing
aids and would force drivers who
need hearing aids off the road.
The proposal would require that
an interstate driver would have
to be able to hear a converse
tional tone at 10 feet that a per-
son with normal hearing could
hear at 20 feet.
"That is like insisting that a.
driver must have good eyesight
without glasses" Miss Switzer
said" This could throw thou
sands of safe and efficient drivers
out Of jobs"
Miss Switzer asked for further
1CC consideration of the matter
and q change in the basis of the
proposed "unscientif1c method" to
one of actual hearing ability, If
any essential standard is neces-
sary. She also indicated she would
seek Congressional legislation to
prohibit discrimination against
the handicapped.
Failure to permit correction
with hearing aids does not take
account of medical testimony that
the armed services are giving
hearing aids to soldiers who have
suffered hearing loss and are
sending them back to duty-even
as paratroopers and drivers Of all
kinds of motorized equipment"
she added.
In noting that the medical pro-
fesison considers loss of hearing |
in one ear only a 10 per cent
disability, she urged that the lini-
tationS, if any," be based on hear
ing in the better ear rather than
In both"
Miss Switzer also assailed the i
ICC for refusing to permit quail
fed amputees to drive commercial
vehicles in interstate commerce.

High school track officials will
be calling for photo-f1nish cam
eras if any more meets are like
the Metropolitan event which An
acostia High won at Wilson yes
terday.
The mile relay was so close it
seemed to be dead heat from
the stands. And the 40 and the
mile were decided by less than a
yard.
Team scores were just as close
as the individual events. Anacos-
tia scored 81 points to Wilson's
281a and Techs 27. It was the
second straight year Wilson has
lost the Metropolitan meet to
Anacostia by less than three
points. The 1850 totals were Ana
costa, 80; Wilson, 81.
The Tigers got some revenge
over Anacostia by taking the last
event on the program-the mile
relay. They needed the win to
edge Tech for second place in the
meet and got the victory by the
narrowest of margins when Joe
Osbourne ran a great anchor lap
to nip the Indians Barry Ryan at
the tape.
Ryan Scores Upset In Mile.
However, it was Ryan. an all
high basketball player, who scored
an upset in the mile to get Ana
costa its high-point total. The
Indians Kenny Thornton, con-
sidered the best miller in the city,
passed up the longer distance to
win both the 440 and the $50,
leaving Wilson's Larry Harry the
favorite. But Ryan edged Harry
in the final strides. Had Ryan not
wo nthe race, Wilson would have
been the new Met champion.
Thornton, who seems to be
able to run equally well at any
