Magruder 70 Address

Alexandria women supporters OF
j. Maynard Magruder, who is
seeking the Democratic nomina-
ton to Congress from nearby Vir-
ginia's new 10th district.
About 40 women leaders of his
campaign in Alexandria are to
attend. Principal speakers will be
Mr.. Magruder and Richard M
Wright, editor Of the Arlington
and Alexandria Journals.
At meeting of his Alexandria
workers Saturday night, MIR. Ma
gruder reiterated his position in
favor of improving the Federal
salary scale and said he favored
placing the Federal pension Sys-
tenn on a sound basis with in
creased Federal payments.
Mr.. Magruder said he had be-
gun a study of Federal narcotics
laws to see where they could be
strengthened to reduce drug traf-
f1c. particularly among teen-agers
He made similar study in Vir-

the longer the hospital stay. DR..
Daniel l.. Finucane, director of
Glenn Dale Sanatorium, where 95
per cent of the admissions are
advanced cases, says the average
length of stay there is AL days.
The average disqualification pc
riod has increased IA days in the
last three years. This is because
the new wonder drugs-principally
streptomycin-are prolonging life
and making suitable for surgery
many cases which were inoperable
just a few years ago.
But tuberculosis experts here
say it is not necessary to wait until
patients enter the hospital to start
them on wonder drug therapy.
The drugs can be administered at
the patients homes if closely
supervised by well-trained physi-
clans who can visit the homes on
a regular schedule.
Cites Drugs Advantages.
DR.. Sol Katz, chief of the di-
vision of pulmonary diseases at
Gallinger Hospital, points to these
advantages:
/. The disease could at least be
controlled while the patient awaits
disqualification.
2. The danger of contagion-an
even more important problem
from a public health viewpoint
would be lesSened considerably.
3. The period of actual hospi-
talization would be reduced.
4. Close check could be kept on
the family of the patient for pos
sible signs of new cases.
Furthermore, DR.. Katz points
out. many critically needed hos
pital beds are now occupied by
persons no longer in need of ac-
tual disqualification. Yet some
medical supervision should be
maintained. Consequently. many
medically INDECENT patients can
not return home. With an effec-
tive home-care program available
these patients could be discharged
Immediately.
But DR.. Katz says this predicted
success could be accomplished
only if the program were set up
properly. This would entail a
staff of full-time physicians, an
enlarged group of public health
nurses, and addition of social
workers and occupational therap-
lists.
Initial Expense Is High.
Proponents of the home care
program admit it would be ex-
pensive at first. But DR.. Katz
compares it to a deep-freezer-"a
large initial expense, and then a
saving every year thereafter.
"The home care program is
practical approach until such time
as we get adequate hospitaliza-
tion here for all tuberculosis vic
TINS" DR.. Katz says. It is some
thing which could be done almost
Immediately, he says; provision of
new hospital facilities. even if city
officials and congressman are CO.
operative, would take several
years.
Health officials in the District
say the city can't wait that long
to start solving its worst health
problem.

New Alexandra Council
To Take Office Tomorrow

Alexandria's new city council
will take office tomorrow, Virginia
Attorney General j. Lindsay Al
mond has ruled. The ruling, in
effect, says that changes in the
city charter take precedence

present city council was elected.
The present council was elected
under an old charter provision
which specified their terms of
office would end September /.
One of the revisions in the charter
provides for the council members
to take Office Suly /.
The ruling was requested by
City Attorney v. Floyd Williams
because of confusion over which
charter provision applied to the
seven-member council elected
June 10.
The ruling also declares that the
candidate who received the larg-
est vote in the council race auto
matically becomes the city Mayor.
Marshall j. Beverley, bank presi-
dent, will be installed as Mayor

council at 1880 pm. tomorrow. Mr..

A Virginia Delegates
For Taft Back Down.;
Eisenhower Gains ;
BY the Associated Press

The lines were more tightly
drawn today in the battle for
Virginia's % Republican presi-
Dental delegates following a back
down of four delegates from the
Taft column over the week end.
The Associated Press tally
showed only five votes separating
Senator Taft and Gen. Eisen-
hover in the committed column
of degates. Before Senator Taft
visited Charlottesville last Thurs
day and conferred with Virginia S
delegation, the score card showed:
Senator Taft, 13 delegates, Gen
Eisenhower, one delegate, and
nine uncommitted.
Now, four days later, the count
reads:
Senator Taft, nine delegates,
Gen. Eisenhower, four delegates,
and 10 uncommitted.
At least one delegate, Lester S.
Parsons of Norfolk, interpreted
the change as indicating a "def-
mite trend toward Eisenhower in
the Virginia delegation" Mr.,
Parsons, from the End District,
is supporting the general.
The most startling switch was
that Of former State G. 0. P.
Chairman Robert H. Woods of
Pearisburg, who had previously
said he was supporting Senator
Taft.
Mr.. Woods released a statement
Saturday saying he is now back
ing Gen. Eisenhower because he
believes "the overwhelming ma
jority of Virginia Republicans"
favor the general.
The Eisenhower delegates are
Bentley Hite of Christianburg,
who originally was for him; Mr..
Woods. Mr.. Parsons and Walter
E. Hoffman of Norfolk.
Delegate Russell H. Davis of
Rocky Mount indicated he was
considering a Jump to the Eisen-
hover camp, too. Hitherto listed
as a backer of Senator Taft, Mr..
Davis said most of Republicans
in his district, the Fifth, favor
Gen. Eisenhower.
For the time being, Mr.. Davis
asked that he be listed as uncom-
mitted.
Two other delegates. both previ-
ously listed as pro-Taft, asked to
be tabled as neutrals too. War
rem B. French of Woodstock, and

they preferred to be placed in the

Yet doctors say it is during this
early period that the tubercle
bacilli often are the most active.
Lung LESSONS advance rapidly, and
the disease is highly infectious.
Modern medicine can control
the disease in many cases.
Victim Gets Instructions.
But here's what happens in the
District when an acute but not
critical case of tuberculosis is dis
covered:
The victim is told to report to
one of the clinics. He is told to
stay in bed, to isolate himself from
his family and friends, and to re-
port back at frequent intervals so
a check can be made on progress
of the disease.
The patient also is listed for
visits by a public health nurse.
No doctors are available for these
visits.
Because of the large number of
persons visiting clinics-there are
more than 5000 known tubercu-
loSis cases in the District-the
clinic doctors can spend little
time with each patient. DR.. How
ard M. Payne, chief of the Freed
mems Hospital tuberculosis serv-
ice, says that in 1851 the physi-
clans could give an average of
less than 10 minutes to each TB
clinic visitor.
Effective medication cannot be
administered at the clinics.
Patients Not Controlled.
Furthermore, under this system
of clinic visits there is absolutely
no control over the tuberculosis
patients. They may or may not
report back to the clinics. Only
the patients own sense of disci-
pline regulate their contact with
healthy persons.
Because of this period of wait
ing for disqualification and effec-
tive treatment. many tuberculosis
cases are moderately or far ad-
vanced when finally admitted.
This means even more money
from the pockets of District tax
payers. The worse the disease

Iunleashed new attacks over the

that Senator Byrd has not always

ginians during his 19-year career
in Congress.
There were also these other de-
