TB Hits All Ages,
Association Warns

Hes too old to get TB." When
you hear anyone make that state
ment, speak right up and say, at
isn't true" the Maryland Tubercu-
losis Association warns.
There is no age limit on tubcrcu-
losis. The germ can and does at
tack babies, children, young adults,
the middle aged, and the aged.
1t is true that TB causes more
deaths than any other disease in
the age group from Is to So. Fifty
years ago, tuberculosis was CON
sidered a disease primarily of
young people. The reason for this
may have been partly because in
the old days TB patient didn't
have a chance to grow old. Death
within few months or years was
the usual result.
It may also be true that for
some reason there is greater sus-
,ceptibility to tuberculous infection
in adolescence, just as there seems
to be greater resistance to the d.
sease in children from five to Is.
When TB strikes children under
five, it may cause the dreaded tu-
herculous meningitis.
In recent years tuberculosis has
become more and more a problem
of middleaged and old men. 1t may
be that modern life places especial
ly heavy strains on these men or
that they are careless of their gen.
eral health.
However, heavy bombardment
with TB germs combined with
poor state of health can cause tu-
berculosis to develop at any age.

Fight May Develop
In Senate Group on
Area Transit Bills
By Don S. Warren

A contest may develop at a
meeting of the Senate Commerce
Committee Tuesday on the best
means of solving the mass trans
portation problems of the Wash
ington Metropolitan area.
Both the House and Senate
now have passed bills on the sub
ject but one is for study COM
mission and the other for the
creation of a Metropolitan WASH
ington transit authority to take
over regulation of bus, streetcar
and taxi services in the District
and in neighboring counties of
Maryland and Virginia.
The new control commission
bill was sponsored by Senator
Johnson, Democrat, of Colorado,
ranking minority member of the
Senate Committee. Passed weeks
ago by the Senate it has been
subject to hearings by the House
Commerce Committees but action
there still is awaited.
At the Tuesday session of the
Senate Committee, officials said
it was likely it would consider
the House bill, which would
create an 11-man commission to
make a study of bridge, road and
transit problems Of greater
Washington. Such a commits
sion would have a year to make
its report after it had been set
up and implemented with funds.
Senator johnson said last night
he was very much opposed to
this bill, which was sponsored in
the House by Representative
Broyhill, Republican of Virginia.
"It is nothing but a delay
ing action" said the Colorado
Senator. I'VE already know what
is the problem and the solution
is to put the areas services
under a Metropolitan Com
mission"
He said if the Senate Com
mittee takes up the House bill
for action he would move to
strike all after the enacting
clause and insert the language
of his bill the Senate already
has passed. He acknowledged
there was evidence of support
in the Senate Committee for
the House-passed study COM
mission bill. il

Bayes Urges Fight
To Get Federal Aid
For Seven Corners

Guy Bayes, candidate for the
Democratic nomination to the
Virginia House of Delegates from
Fairfax County and Falls Church,
yesterday urged aggressive &C
ton" to obtain Federal funds to
improve the Seven Corners in
tersection near Falls Church.
Mr.. Bayes said the only answer
to the traffic tieup problem at
the intersection is the construc-
ton of grade separations.
The Seven Corners job is the
No. project for Fairfax as far
as need is concerned, Mr.. Bayes
said. But. he added, the job has
no priority at all on a construc-
ton timetable because of the cost.
The cost he said would be
about SIS million.
Mr.. Bayes reported the State
highway commission has a gen.
eral plan for depressing Arling-
ton boulevard with three over
head routes for cross traffic. The
boulevard, Leesburg pike. Wilson
boulevard. Sleepy Hollow road
and Hillwood avenue come into
the intersection.
"This plan is now in the hands
of an engineering firm for prep
aration of detailed plans" Mr..
Bayes said.
Financing of the project
through normal State road fund
ALLEGATIONS would mean that all
other highway improvements in
the county would have to be
abandoned, Mr.. Bayes said. The
candidate claimed the county has
not been getting its full share OF
State road fund ALLEGATIONS.
Mr.. BayeS suggested two meth
! ods of getting funds for the prof.
ect. The first would be Federal
aid, he said. The second would
be to work for a special State
highway appropriation.
TT will probably take q COM
bination Of both to do the job,
he said.

Fenwick Urges

For Children

Benefits If Vet Cont,
Pleads Candidate
BY the ASseeioted Press

Charles r. Fenwick suggested
yesterday that the children Of
ex-servicemen be allowed to take
advantage of the CT bill If the
veterans themselves can't use
the educational benefits afforded
by the bill.
Mr.. Fenwick, q State senator
from Arlington who in cam
paigning for the Democratic
nomination for governor, made
the recommendation in a state
ment released in Halifax County
where he spent much Of Sat-
urday.
Many of our veterans have
not been able to utilize their
educational rights" he said.
MANY Of them died in service
or died shortly after returning
from service.
I'm all fairness, I feel that a
child Of such a serviceman
should be entitled to use that
portion Of the fathers benefits
under this law"
CT Bill Needs Amendment.
Such a step would require a
change in the CT bill by Con-
greSs. Mr.. Fenwick made no
mention of how he might help
bring about the proposed change,
other than to say "if elected
governor, I will place the pres
tige Of my Office" behind the
move.
Pointing to his own service
in World Wars and II, Mr.. Fen
wick promised that during my
administration the veterans Of
the Commonwealth will be &C
corded that recognition which
their unselfiSh service merits"
While Mr.. Fenwick kept up his
swift campaign pace, his oppon-
ent, Thomas B. Stanley, retired
to his home at Stanleytown in
Henry County for a day of rest.
Opposes Hike in Taxes.
Friday night Mr.. Stanley told
q Henry County rally that he
will try to continue to make Vir-
ginia grow if he is nominated in
the July IA primary. and then
elected in the November general
election.
Mr.. Stanley said he is pleased
with "the government we have
had in Virginia, and it is not my
plan to change that government,
but to continue the progress of
our State without any increase
in taxes"
Sharing the Friday night plat
form with Mr.. Stanley was Hor-
ace Edwards of Richmond, for
mer State Democratic chairman
and a campaigner for the Dem
ocratic gubernatorial nomination
in 1949.
Mr.. Edwards said he had never
known a candidate in Virginia
who "has had more support than
Mr.. Stanley" He said Mr.. Fen
wick's aspirations for the gov
ernorship "are immature"

The complicated movement
this year. Col. Cocklin explained,
should be easier because the

from other States already have
been set up on the beach near
Bethany and are ready and wait
ing for the Districts artillery
men.

tary Police Battalion.
Maj. Gen. William H. Aben-
droth, District Guard comman-
der, will be in charge of all

than a refresher course. About
two-thirdS of those taking part
have returned from actual COM
bat in Korea within the past
year.
