| President 10 Leave
key West, Return 10
Capital Thursday
By Joseph A. Fox
By a Stoff Correspondens oS yhs sscr


KEY WEST, Fla, Mar. a.
The big news out of President
Truman's vacation retreat today
was that he was coming home
Thursday.
He was due to return Friday
but he stepped it up a day, al
though it was explained there
was no emergency to cause his
change Of plans.
When the President was down
here in December and quit his
vacation abruptly, there was con-
siderable speculation as to what
brought about the change. Yes
|terday, however, Press Secretary
Joseph Short said that 1t was just
la routine maneuver - that the
President had gotten tired down
here and would return to the
Capital.
The President is working on
the draft of his speech to be given
at the Jackson-Jefferson Day dim
lner March 20. But it is not ex-
Ipected that he will tip his hand
Jas to what he is going to do
about seeking another term.
AS q matter of fact. Mr.. Tru-
man has kept his political plans
very secret. The bet that he will
not disclose his intentions much
before convention time still holds
good.
The draft Of his speech Is still
being worked over but. Of course.
the contents are not known. How
ever, it is not expected that there
will be any inkling given Of his
political plans in that message.

Tokyo BoNerinos
Dance on Streets in
Protest Over Tax
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Sunday, March 23.-
Pretty little japanese girls today
danced the anti-tax ballet on the
streets of Tokyo.
They danced Western style in
ballet skirts and classical japanese
style in bright kimonos. They
waved placards demanding:
Lower the harsh 100 per cent
tax on art dances"
Most of the girls were comely
and well-built. Ballet is all the
rage now so there was a rush Of
bystanders to sign petitions.
"It's all wrong to put a 100 per
cent tax on ballets-just as if they
were strip shows" said Miss
Yaoko Kaitani, Japan's premier
Western-style ballerina.

present situation has complicated
things, they cite the bill approved
by the Senate Civil Service Com
|mittee to remove age limitations
in filling Federal jobs during the
national emergency program. The
measure was passed by the Senate
and sent to the House Civil Service
COMMITTEE. The House civil serv-
ice unit has not acted on the
matter, but the other day in re-
porting the 1852 independent Of
fees bill the House Appropriations
Committee included the Senate
units bill almost word for word
las a rider in the money measure.
Now everybody concerned is
confused whether it should be
dealt with as part Of an appropri-
ations bill or as regular legis-
|lation.
Chairman Johnston of the SEN
late Civil Service Committee and
his colleagues make no secret of
their feelings that the cause of
Federal employees and agencies as
well as efficiency and economy in
personnel operations would be
better served if civil service mat
ters are left to the jurisdiction of
the House and Senate Civil Serv-
ice Committees and not to the
appropriation groups.

RETIREMENT-A Senate Civil
Service Subcommittee is expected
to report favorably within the
next 10 days bill to increase the
annuities of retired Government
employees.
Although many details of the
measure have not yet been worked
out, there is tentative agreement
to eliminate the provision which
would deny any increase to those
annuitants drawing pensions OF
over $2,400 a year.

ested in f1uoridation.
Last September, they author
lied expenditure of $500 for a
years supply of sodium siloco-
fluoride and $12.500 for equip
ment to feed the chemical into
the water supply.
The feeder equipment is in
stalled at the Burnt Mills and
Patuxent River filtration plants.
At the Patuxent plant near Laurel,
the fluoridation equipment is in a
special room to keep the danger
GUS f1uoride powder from blowing
to other devices which put other
chemicals in the water.
Equipment Called Fool Proof.
Robert E. Craver. chief operator
at Patuxent. said the equipment
is fool-proof. A workman wear
ing rubber suit and gloves and a
gas mask dumps 125-pound drums
of the white powder into a hopper.
A screw device slowly feeds the
chemical into a 40-gallon mixing
tank.
Water in the tank is continu-
ously sloshed about. The f1uoride
quickly dissolves. The fluoride
solution then goes through a par
titioned metal box for further
mixing. Then, at the rate Of
seven gallons per minute, it flows
through two pipes to enter the
water mains at two points.
A safety device rings a gong
If anything goes wrong.
Harry B. Shaw, chief engineer
for the Sanitary Commission, said
it took\a few weeks to work the
kinks out of the new equipment
but all errors were on the side
of getting too little fluoride into
the water.
One Part Per Million.
He aimed at what the United
States Public Health Service con-
siders ideal one part of fluoride
for every million parts of water
His technicians regularly sample

object to having more chemical:

SIS Million Budget

Lower taxes and higher expen-
ditures are proposed in Prince
Gorges County for the fiscal year
beginning July /.
The County Commissioners yes
terday announced a record SIS
million budget proposal, and a
tentative tax rate of $1.98, which
is two cents below the current rate.
About $40 million of the budget
would be raised from local sources
and the remainder would come
from State and Federal alloca-
tions.
A 81 million surplus from the
current years operations, plus a
big increase in assessments, made
it possible for the commissioners
to up the budget and cut the tax

perhaps a decade. Public Health
expects to have about 1000 or
5000 children in the program.
The examinations. just beginning
in volume, will include detailed
checks for the usual : dental
troubles, but also will try to show
how flouridated teeth calcify,
which teeth develop the first
cavities, which surfaces are
affected most, and whether -four
ides help prevent crooked teeth
or pyorrhea.
Public Health also is testing the
urine of some children and adults
to see how their bodies throw off
some of the fluorine they consume.
Other tests on saliva may indicate
whether fuorides curb bacteria,
acids or other causes of decay.
Even more widespread dental
examinations are being made
under a program sponsored by the
Southern Maryland Dental So
|ciety. Dentists working for moth
ing give thousands of children
examinations for dental defects.

Enthusiastic About Project.
Public Health. in selecting test
children, tried to pick them from
medium income families which
are likely to remain ilzthe, COM
munity. Children now being ex-
amined by Public Heath are in
Kensington Elementary and High
Schools and Takoma Park Ele7
mentary and High Schools in
Montgomery County, and in Suit
land Elementary and Junior High
schools, Maryland Park Junior
High School. and Bradbury
Heights, Colmar Manor and Cot
tage City Elementary Schools in
Prince Georges County. Parents of
all the tested children know about
the examinations.
Public Health was especially en-
thusiastic about work in Prince
Georges and Montgomery because
the two counties are conveniently
close to Public Health headquar-
ters in Washington, and because
they are using sodium silocof1uor-
ide in their water.
Most cities fiuoridating their
water have used another f1uoride
compound, sodium fluoride. Pub
lie Health has not run it's own
tests to learn the medical effects
of sodium silocofluoride on hu-
mans. Other authorities have,
however, and Public Health is
confident that the two compounds
are equally effective-and safe
for f1uoridating water.
Washington will use sodium
silocofuoride when it starts fluo-
ridating it's water in June.
Move Started Four Years Ago.
The move to fluoridate water in
Prince Georges and Montgomery
counties started four years ago
