US. Swimming Team At Olympics Continue RecOrd-a-Day Pace

HELSINKI, (P) - Continuing the rec0rd-a-day Cor better) pace of the 1852 Olympic swimming competition, the United States women's 400 meter relay team shattered the Olympic record in winning it's trial heat today.
 The American quartet va S timed in 5:18.1 in beating Holland in its heat. This broke the Olym- pic mark of 4:29 set by another American team in the 1948 Olym- pics at London.
 Three United States men swim mers had little trouble qualify ing for the second round of the mems 100 meter backstroke and, in rather unexpected perform ances, the American water polo team won its first game of the semi final round competition. American fencers marked up a decisive victory in a semi final competition in the team sabre event.
 Americas hopes in the Women's springboard diving competition received a setback when an inter- national jury over ruled the judges who granted Mrs. Zoe Ann Olsen Jensen a second chance to perform one dive after she had complained the mechanism con- trolled the board had not func- toned properly.

Radar Sights Objects But
 Airliner Does Not

WASHINGTON, tP) - Radar showed the air over the nations capital was full of flying objects early Tuesday, but an airliner directed to one of the radar sight ings could not find thing.
 The CAA radar at Washington National Airport, which reported scores of sightings from 1:30 to 5 a.m., refrained from transmit ting it's findings to the Air Force at nearby Andrews Field because mo visual sightings were made"
 The Air Force said its An drews Field radar showed noth- ing, and it's 24-hour jet-intercep- tor patrol remained on the ground because it was not notified of the National Airport sightings.
 Meanwhile. the Air Force an- nounced it had brought some of it's flying saucer" experts from Wright Patterson Field, Dayton, O., for a news conference Tues day afternoon.
 At the same time, the Air Re- search and Development Com mand is continuing it's upper air research studies with a new type camera used in determining the source of light from luminous bodies. Designed to be of parti- cular use in solving the saucer mystery, the camera breaks light into the spectrum to indicate the chemical composition of the light source. It is similar to photo graphic devices which chemists use for similar purposes.
 A CAA spokesman said the latest sightings showed as many as 12 unidentified objects on the radar screen at one time. They appeared to be travelling from 90 to 120 miles an hour in a 15- mile long area between Andrews Field and HerdOn, Va.
 About a.m., an Eastern Air line southbound flight was direct ed into the area but its crew saw nothing in the sky

over reports that Negro Doctor
candidates here this week, as well
as in the past, have been forced to
use the freight elevator to get to
and from the Hall in the Robert E..
Lee Hotel where the examinations
are being held.
A subject of widespread discus
sion among prominent Negro citi-
bens this week was a plan of action
that would save Negro medical
students who take the examination
in the future from having to under
go the personal humiliation of
using the freight elevator to 60 to
and from the examination.
Sharp criticism was directed at
the State Board of Medical exam
iners for holding the examination
in a private building when there
is ample space in public building
to hold the examination.
One prominent Negro leader said
that the matter will be taken up
with Governor White in a coming
conference of Negro Leaders of the
state.

HiqhV Training Costs
Reduced Number Of
Persons RehabiIitated

Disabled men and women re-
habilitated into paid jobs during
the current fiscal year will fall
short of the total goal of 63, ,632
because of increasing training ex-
penses, the Federal Security
Agency said today.
Reports from State agencies CO.
operating in the program. showed
the number of rehabilitations for
the first quarter of fiscal 1853 had
dropped IA per cent below the
number in the same quarter of
the preceding year.
Rising Costs Hurt Aid.
Miss Mary E. Switzer, head of
the Office of Vocational Rehabili-
tatior. said gradual increases in
the costs of all services for the
handicapped appeared to be eat
ing up minor increases in appro-
priations. ''This is tragic" she
said. "since we are rehabilitating
only one of every four new vic
Tins of disability who need our
service each year."
The States will have $685. mil
lion for rehabilitation services in
1853. Of which $22.25 million will
be Federal funds. This is an in
crease Of about Sis million, with
State and Federal appropriations
sharing the increase almost
equally.
Miss Switzer said more than
$4,000 of the $500 persons re-
habilitated during the year came
from relief rolls. an increase of
more than so per cent over the
preceding year. They were re-
ceiving $8.5 million a year in pub
lie assistance. It cost Sc million
to rehabilitate them: they are now
earning $22.5 million a year.
22S,48O Get Aid.
Altogether 228, ,480 persons re-
ceived some form of rehabilita-
ton aid during the year. More
than 100000 received medical
evaluation. 10000 had surgical or
medical treatment; 10000 were
hospitalized and $4,000 were given
prosthetic appliances.
In the District of Columbia, a
total of 347 persons were rehabili-
tated; 1923 in Maryland and 1,667
