Visiting Nurse Bill
For $4,000 Rejected
ByHea|th Department

The District Health Depart
ment has refused to pay a $4,000
bill presented by the Instructive
Visiting Nurse Society for visits
the department contends were
not legally authorized.
The society says it actually did
work totaling $4,000 for the de-
partment, but knew only $25, 900
had been appropriated. It says
only $4,000 was paid for services
rendered in the last fiscal year
and wants SIS 900 additional,
bringing it up to the appropri-
ated figure. The balance of
$4,000 will be absorbed by the
society.
Asks Conference.
Murray Preston, member of
the board of the society, said
he has written District Health
Director DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger
asking for a conference. Mr..
Preston expects to show that "a
large number" of the visits in
excess of the contract allowance
were made at the request of the
doctor who originally called in
the society's nurse.
DR.. Seckinger says the society's
nurses have been making more
visits than really necessary or
authorized. In the future, he
says. he wants the nurses to get
authority in advance for the
visits.
Cites Contract Figures.
DR.. Seckinger explained that
only $4,000 could be paid under
the contract the department has
with the society. He said District
Auditor Arthur r. Pilkerton had
instructed the department to
abide by the terms of the con-
tract.
The health officer said dia-
betics should be taught to give
their own hypodermics for treat
ment, instead of having a nurse
give them. The nurses visited
5,704 diabetic patients, but the
contract permitted payment only
for 672 calls, he added.
The society contended 5,318
visits were made to patients with
heart conditions. but only 3,O96
of these could be approved, he
explained. The usual experience,
he said, is that IL visits are suf-
f1cient in heart and diabetic cases
to instruct the patient or his
family in proper care.

Throw Off Pursuit.
And Escape in Cor

Three bandits last night held
up a Northeast drug store and
escaped with a large quantity of
narcotics and $3.50 in cash, after
a policeman fired three shots at
their getaway car.
Julius SymonS, 80, owner of
the Dakota Drug Store, 5567
South Dakota avenue NE, told
police two white men and a coll
ored man entered his store in
a single file about 9:45 pm.
The first man, he said, went
to the cash register, pulled a
blue steel long-barreled gun and
said, "This is a Stickup. Give

business"
The bandit then forced Mr..
SymonS, who lives at 408 Oneida
street NE, to tell him where
the narcotics were kept and took
five boxes from a lower drawer
behind the counter, police said.
Second Gets Cash.
The second man, Mr.. Symons
told police, scooped up about
$3.50 from the register.
Meanwhile, the third man, a
dark-skinned colored man, stood
at the door as a lookout, Mr..
SymonS said.

In Auto Injury
To Policeman
Motorcycle Crashes
During Chase Of
Speeding Cor

A Silver Spring building con.
tractor was arrested yesterday
after police had flashed q look
out for an automobile that had
seriously injured a motorcycle
policeman.
The policeman, Pvt. Gilbert
r. White, 1725 @ street Sc, was
taken to Emergency Hospital
where he was reported to be suf-
fering from head injuries.
Michael M. Abrams, 81, Of
8002 Park Crest drive, Silver
Spring, has been charged with
leaving the scene of collision,
changing lanes without caution
and speeding.
Witnesses gave this version of
the accident:
Officer White was following a
blue automobile south on South
Capitol street about pm. Near
Portland street, the car swerved
suddenly to the left, forcing Pvt.
Whites motorcycle into the
middle island. Witnesses said the
officer was thrown 20 feet into
the air and bounced along the
ground for another go feet.
Tells Of Collision.
When Pvt. White regained
consciousness at the hospital
several hours later, he told
fellow officers he was chasing

the car when he was forced on
to the island. The last thing he
remembered, Pvt. White said,
was the left rear fender of the
fleeing auto striking his motor
cycle.
The speedometer of the
wrecked motorcycle showed 50
miles per hour. The speed limit
on South Capitol street at that
point is 80 miles per hour.
Kenneth Bolick, 20. and e.
Wesley Roger. Is, both of Gran
ite Falls, NJ. c., told police they
were driving south on South
Capitol street when the blue car
passed them at about SO miles
per hour.
Mr.. Bolick said he noticed
the officer chasing the speeding
car. Then, according to Mr..
Bolick, the automobile veered
to the left and swerved to with
in inches of the island, forcing
the policeman to crash.
Pursuit Cut Short.
Mr.. Bolick and Mr.. Rogers
said they started to pursue the
automobile but were halted by
red light.
A cab driver, Joseph Scalley,
43, Of 5000 Twelfth street NE,
saw the accident and reported
it to the Military Police at Boil
ing Air Force Base. He also ra-
diced the tag number of the
speeding car to his dispatcher,
who relayed it to the police.
Police checked the tag number
and found it listed to Mr..
Abrams. They contacted his place
Of business and were told he
was working at a construction
job in the 800 block of Chesa-
peake street Sc.
Located on Job.
When Motorcycle Policemen
Bernard c. Hollis and william
r. Graham arrived at the con-
struction job. they found Mr..
Abrams. At first he denied any
knowledge of the accident, police
said, but later declared:
II know what you want, but
I called an ambulance"
At police headquarters, Mr..
Abrams told this story:
He was driving along South
Capitol street when he saw the
officer in his rear-vision mirror.
He said that when he saw the
officer overturn, he stopped and
went back to see if he was hurt.
Then he went in search of a tele-
phone, he said.
His statement, however, was
contradicted by witnesses who
said Mr.. Abrams did not get out
of his car.

Experimental Wire Put
Beneath Street Surface

The District Highway Depart
ment today supervised expert
mental installation of a welded
wire mesh beneath asphalt street
surfacing material in a $1,000
square yard area near Sixteenth
street and Alaska avenue, NV.
The department is investing
$500 to cover the cost of the
wire and it's installation. This
type of surfacing, it is hoped,
will help prevent rippling of
asphalt surfaces usually caused
by trucks and buses. The wire
subsurfacing is also supposed to
prevent cracks in the asphalt
which ultimately speed deteri-
grafton of the surface.

Takoma Park, Md; Mr.. Symons'
sister -in-law, who was in the
store at the time of the holdup,
ran outside and hailed a cab.
The cab drove up Riggs road
to Oglethorpe street. where Mrs.
Berman spotted Metropolitan
Motorcycle Police Pvts. E. w.
Stephen and C.. G. Hood.
AS she was telling the police
men of the holdup, the bandits
car pulled away from the curb
nearby.
Pvt. Hood had gone to the
scene of the robbery, but Pvt.
Stephen chased the car west on
OgIethorpe street. During the
chase, Pvt. Stephen said, he fired
three shots at the car before his
gun jammed. He said he believed
some of the shots struck the car.
He continued to follow the car
to New Hampshire avenue where
it turned left, jumped an island
and headed south. Pvt. Stephen
said he lost the car when it took
a quick right off New Hamp-
shire avenue into Macdonald
street.
"I had my gun in my right
hand and I was going too fast
to turn" Pvt. Stephen said. He
instructed a cab driver to follow
the speeding auto, Pvt. Stephen
said, but the cab lost it.
Police believe they have re-
covered the weapon used in the
holdup. It was turned over to
them by Miss Caroline Griffith,
800 Oglethorpe street NE, who
saw Pvt. Stephen chasing the
car at Third and Oglethorpe
streets. She told police she found
the gun under a Streetlight at
that corner.
Police said the narcotics in
cluded opium, morphine, dolo-
phine, cocaine, empirin and
demeral. There were 1000 tab
lets in all, according to police.
Light Gray Convertible.
The police broadcast a lookout
for a 1912 or 1916 light gray con-
vertible, with a faded black top
and possible bullet holes or fiat
tire.
The occupants were described
as follows:
One man was about 35 years
old, tall thin build, thin mus
tache, dark completed. wearing
a railroad blue cap. chambray
shirt and blue dungareeS.
The second man was about
feet 7 inches tall, thin build,
in his early 30s, very white skin,
wearing a tan shirt and stocking
cap.
The lookout man was de-
scribed as colored, feet 7 inches.
wearing brown hat.
Police last night believed the
men might have headed for

McKeIdin Proves It Silence
is Golden Only When Broken


Sunday school class.
During the recent Jewish holy
day of Yom Kippur, Mr.. Nickel
din spoke at two synagogues in
Milwaukee. He said he joined
his Jewish friends in their ira
ditional 24-hour fast, and "it
makes you feel good in your
SOUL"
Since becoming Governor, Mr..
McKeldin also frequently has ad-
dressed various business groups,
ranging from the New York
Board Of Trade to the National
Concrete Burial Vault Associa-
ton in Atlantic City.
The Governor often floors his
audiences with such tongue
twisters as this one, delivered to
a New York Republican rally
last year:
1.-THE plundering potentates Of
the Potomac and the pusillani-
nous parasites of the palace
guard are having their last ride
on the merry-go-round of pri-
vilege and pelf"
Another One.
Or this one before conven-
ton of speedwriting school ad-
miniStrators in Chicago last
spring:
"The Reconstruction Finance
Corp.-creature of haste in time
of depression, monster of uncon-
trolled growth in years of pre-
carious prosperity, purveyor Of
pelf to the parasites of privilege
at the pinnacle of its pernicious
power-happily is soon to ex-
pire."
1t was Gov. McKeldin who
stuck the Democrats with the
for them unhappy label of Mink
dynasty" during the last pres
idential campaign.
In a Boston speech in Deem
ber, 1851, he referred to the Tru-
man Administration as "the mall
odorous, mink-coated manipula-
tions of the desperadoes of de-
pravity. degradation and deceit
in Government"
"Let us have no goose e-stepping
on the village green," he de-
clared in 1851, urging the Fed
eral Government to keep it's
fingers out of public recreation.
Talks of Siren Money.
On August 90, 1851, he told a
group of Virginia bankers that
''far too often the very State
officials who cried with the
greatest alarm have yielded to
the bureaucratic will on Capitol
Hill, or have prostituted them
selves and their States before
the siren jingling of the money
bags on the Potomac"
All Of the 81 words that roll
so easily off Mr.. McKeldin's
tongue did not originate with
him, of course. Like virtually
every other public official of
comparable status, he has q
ghost writer. He is the very
able former Baltimore Sun po-
litical writer, Albert w. Quinn,
now the Governors $9,900-a-
year press secretary.
Gov. McKeldin wasn't always
the polished orator he is today.
He fluffed his first speech.
Then Took Course.
He was Is at the time and had
prepared 7-minute address
for an Epworth League meeting.
When he got up to speak, he
forgot all but 2 minutes of it.
Undismayed, he asked for an
other chance and Immediately
enrolled in a public speaking
course. He did so well he be-
came q teacher.
Since that day, he has literally
talked his way up the political
ladder.
It would indeed be ironic if
the Democrats are able to tum-
BILE him to the bottom again by
convincing the voters that their
Governor talks too much.

In Florida, summer starts in May

summer months, he said, provide
the widest time span for working
creatively with our children !.
Of course, being summer
camp for children plugger, this
line of talk made me very happy
and gives me a wonderful open
ing.
For many years the South was
almost completely minus good
camps for children Now the
need is being competently met,
and our Southern camps are in
many aspects surprising the ones
in other parts of the country
Such camps as Blue Star near
Hendersonville, N. c., owned and
directed by Southerners meets the
needs of the children which it
services Here children who
come from small communities
have an opportunity Of obtaining
along with an athletic program
needed hours of Hebrew training
which they cannot obtain in their
home town. Like all camps it also
offers an opportunity for children
isolated from other Jewish COM
munitieS to socialize with Jewish
children.
This past weekend I had the
opportunity of meeting the Direc-
tor of another Southern camp
and here again I was impressed
with desire to serve the chill
dren of this area Our week
end visitor was Bea Komisar,
owner and director of Camp Belle
Aire, near Sparta, Tennessee
Mrs. Komisar has had many
years of experience in directing
camps and working with children
professionally, and naturally
l.. :. . She is the mother of five
children The parent of a teen
age daughter, she knows the
needs of the teen-agers and is
planning a charm school for the
girls
The question arises: with a
family Of that size who has time
for camp work? {. But with Bea,
camp is passion, and a chal-
lenge to create something not
only for her own brood-but for
all children And Mrs. Komi-
