cay in children. has not yet beer
decided. Only one part of f1uoride
will go into / million parts oi
water.
Officials say there will be ne
change in the taste or color o1
the water.
The District Commissioners
after consultation with Col. Alar
J. McCutchen, the District En-.
gineer of the Army Corps of En-.
gineers for the Washington area
will decide on the exact date fol
beginning the new operation
Some think it will be about July l
E. A. Schmitt, chief of the
Water Supply Division, Washing
ton district Office, Corps of En-
gineers, is playing an important
part in this program. He has
forwarded a report to the District
Commissioners, summing up
progress.
Mr.. Schmitt said today that test.
are being run this week on the
newly installed equipment, with g
factory representative participant
ing. The test fluoride is not per-
mitted to enter the system, but
is run off as waste product.
Next week. if everything goes
well, the engineers may begin tc
f1uoridate the water, Mr.. Schmitt
declared. But he pointed out il
may take 10 days or two weeks
of longer-for the fluoride to pass
through several large storage res
ervoirs.
More Equipment to Install.
Accordingly, there will be con-
siderable lapse of time before the
whole system becomes saturated
with the proper amount of .uoride
Mr.. Schmitt declared.
He said his Office has set up ar
inspection system to test the prog
ress of the f1uoride through the
water system. In conjunction
with the District Health Depart
ment. a sampling program is be-
ing set up to watch the progress
and this may go on for one or two
weeks or more, Mr.. Schmitt as
serted.
Some equipment remains to
be installed as well as piping
to conduct the solution. Painting
is yet to be done, also.
Ample Supplies on Hand.
Ample supplies of sodium silico
If1uoride are on hand now, at
IDalecarlia, near Macarthur boule-
ward and the District line. 1t is
stored in a warehouse, ready for
use. A Tampa Fla) firm has
supplied the fluoride under Gov
eminent contract.
The fuoride comes in drums of
$50 pounds each. About seven of
these drums or $500 pounds will

New System Set Up
BY Police 10 Enforce
ID. {. Anti-Vice Laws

A breakdown on gamblers, dope
peddlers. bootleggers and prosti-
tutes appeared in the making to-
day as police set UP a chain of re-
sponsibility for enforcing anti.
vice laws.
The new system, effective July
l, creates a morals division in the
Police Department. This will be
the present morals squad with q
new name. but enforcement rou-
tine will differ.
Direct responsibility for en-
forcement will be placed on pre-
cinct captains and lieutenants ano
periodic detailed reports of Incl
dents in each precinct will be re-
Iquired.
Individual policemen will be
charged with noting and reporting
suspicious activities on their beats
but assignments for investigation
of vice cases will not necessarily
fall to the man on the beat.
Makes Bribery Difficult.
Veteran police observers sale
the new system will make bribery
extremely difficult because re-
sponsibility is pinpointed and be-
cause lack of reports on various
incidents will lead to disciplinary
action.
A card file will be set up in each
precinct. From this card file
monthly reports will be made tt
the morals division. Photographs
and records of suspected or &C.
tual violators of morals laws are
to be kept in each precinct.
A list of suspected establish
ments will be kept. Each time
any person attached to precinct
visits such a place, he will be re-
quired to make a report of his
visit. the purpose of his visit. anC
the names of any persons accom-
panying him.
Lieutenants Responsible.
First responsibility will be with
precinct lieutenants, who are
charged with enforcing the anti
vice laws. The lieutenants will
make assignments for investiga-
tions. Under the setup. one man
could be assigned to investigate
a certain place and another man
to investigate the place next door
When the lieutenant is away
from the precinct for any reason
responsibility for continuing in
vestigating will fall to the SER
geant, and in his absence to the
corporal, thus insuling supervision
|at all times.
Undercover men. when needed
will be assigned by request to the
Morals Division.
Record on Trouble Spots.
The card file also will be used
to keep tab on places where
trouble often occurs. IF sufficient
reports are made. police sources
said, warrants may be sworn out
against these places as disorderly

Tax Saving Seen
In New Traininq
School for Girls
Shea Says Transfer
To ChiIdren's Center
Will Aid Efficiency

Substantial savings to District
taxpayers are anticipated by
Gerard M. Shea. director, de-
Ipartment of public welfare. in
the new National Training School
for Girls.
The $4,000 item, pending in
the District budget, is the first step
toward shifting the school to the
Children's Center at Laurel. Md.
It would provide for architects
drawings. The Senate Appropria-
tions Committee last week ap-
proved this item. and the Senate
is expected to vote on it by the
end of the week. as it considers
the entire measure.
The National Training School
for Girls, now located at 5000
Loughboro road NV, is also
known as the Industrial Home
School for Colored Girls.
Mr.. Shea pointed out that the
taxpayers will benefit. not alone
in money, but in efficiency. when
the school is moved from it's
present inadequate quarters to
Laurel.
Sees Money Benefits.
Under the new program. Mr..
Shea declared, better administra-
ton can be assured. It will also
be better for the individual child.
he explained, who will have more
adequate program facilities and
recreation. Furthermore, better
feeding arrangements will be
made possible than those now
existing at Loughboro road. he
said.
At the Children's Center joint
medical, dental. psychiatric, hos
Ipital and other facilities will be
available, the director declared.
Now there is a tremendous ex-
penditure Of man hours. transport
tation facilities and other time
and money expenses, because the
school is located at such a dis
tance. At Laurel all these Serv-
ices will be in one convenient
area, Mr.. Shea said.
At the existing National Train
ing School for Girls. Mr.. Shea
said there is an antiquated, dilap-
idated structure in the Lincoln
Building. The spending of any
money there, except what is apso-
lutely necessary, is a waste of
public funds, Mr.. Shea asserted.
That is why it is so important
to get the $4,000 now. to begin
an orderly program of modern
ization. he said.
Provision for 80 Girls.
During the coming fiscal year.
provision has been made for Is
colored girls in the Lathrop Cot
tage, Is in the farm cottage and
40 in the Lincoln Building-a total
of 80 at the present site, he said.
Pending completion of the new
structure, Mr.. Shea said the Board
of Public Welfare proposes to
make the best possible use Of
existing facilities. He said the
best plan available has been set
up. But he warned that. even if
: this works out perfectly, there is a
! lack of adequate recreational and
other facilities in the present area.
5 Furthermore, Mr.. Shea asserted,
there are problems in caring for
the children adequately in the
existing buildings. The physical
t arrangement does not lend itself
readily to maximum use, he said.
"The reality of the situation Is
that we have the girls committed
to us, and they have to be cared
for" Mr.. Shea asserted.
But, he pointed out, this is be-
ing done under difficulties because
Of the old and limited buildings.

famous for shooting down seven
enemy planes the first day of the war.
Recently, Sth Wing Pilots flew their
390OOth effective combat sortie.
The day Lieutenant Railey flew his
99th and Tooth combat mission was
the biggest of the air war since the

units of the Fifth Air Force com
pletely leveled huge Communist
supply complex.
The target was Suan, the center of
an eight square mile supply buildup
area in North Korea, about 35 miles
southeast of Pyongyang.
Piles of war materials, trucks,
warehouses full of supplies, and troop
emplacements were ripped out and
burned as the fighter bombers spewed
destruction over the area. Tons Of
demolition and high explosive bombs
tore the Communist supplies to
shreds. Thousands of gallons of fiery
napalm were spread over the target
turning the piles of supplies into bill
lowing flame and smoke.
The 18th Fighter Bomber Wing flew
the first mission in on the target.
Carrying nothing but demolition
bombs, the Sth Wing pilots had the
job of knocking out flax positions to
pave the way for the napalm carry
ing Jets to follow.
The two missions the Lieutenant
flew that day, his 99th and Tooth were
napalm. Those last two missions
were the hardest I've ever flown"
