O'Conor Defends Inquiry
On Reds in Education

Former Democratic Senator
O'Conor OF Maryland yesterday
defended a Senate investigation
to determine whether Com
munists have infiltrated the
schools and colleges of the coun-
try.
In a speech prepared for de-
livery to the Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution in East Orange.
N j.. the Marylander declared: {:
IF Communist inf1ltration has
not been as extensive as alleged,
would it not be reassuring if the
congressional committee reached
that conclusion and announced
it to the American people? But,
on the other hand. if the situa-
tion is even half as bad as it has
been pictured, why do these
critics object to the efforts of
United States Senators to drive
Communist teachers out Of the
public Schools?"

Donohue Suggests
District Tax Subsidy
For Capital Transit

Commissioner F. Joseph Dom
ohue has suggested the District
consider subsidizing the Capital
Transit Co. through tax exemp-
tions to improve the bus and
streetcar service in the area.
Mr.. Donohue threw the sug-
gestion out for study last night
on the television program, "Your
Commissioners Report" on
WMAL-Tv, The Star station.
He added:
1T probably would not be a
very popular move. But it is q
move that should be explored. I"
Opposes City Ownership.
Mr.. Donohue said subsidies
would be preferable to having
the transit system taken over by
the city government. He said
experience elsewhere shows that
private ownership Of transit COM
panies is the best and most eco
nomical system.
II prefer subsidies to inefi-
cient operation Of the transit
company" he commented.
He hastened to add he didn't
mean city employees were in
efficient. He said they did q
magnificent job in running
municipal affairs but he felt the
transit business was specialized
one that would suffer when a
municipal government took over.
The suggestion was made dur
ing a discussion of transit prob
lens in the District area and
whether transit authority
would be the answer.
Prentiss Mentions Program.
Brig. Gen. Louis Prentiss, En-
gineer Commissioner, said he felt
a study of the mass transporta-
tion system would have to be
considered In conjunction with
the city's proposed public works
program. He said II everybody
wanted to drive downtown "all
by himself" the mere widening
Of streets would solve nothing.
Commissioner Renah F. Cam
alier said the selling job on the
proposed public works program
was just beginning. He recon-
mended that all residents study
the plans carefully as they are
released in detail during the
coming weeks.

Blood Donors
For August II

blood of thousands more donors.
And there's next year to think
about.
What is gamma globulin? Your
blood is roughly 45@o red cells,
$3.50 plasma. Plasma is made up
of water (92%o), salt 1%), and
various proteins (7@6). Gamma glo-
bulin is one of those proteins. A
pint of blood contains 1 gram of
gamma globulin, which yields about
5 &C. of liquid immune serum glo-
bulin.
How is it made? At the labora-
tory blood plasma is pooled and
gamma globulin precipitated from
it, frozen, dried, and finally made
into solution called immune
serum globulin. Average time for
the process, months.
How does it get to the polio vic
tim? You give blood at a Red
Cross center. A laboratory sepa-
rates the blood into serum albumin.
which goes to the armed forces,
and gamma globulin, which goes
to the Office of Defense Mobiliza-
tion. The Public Health Service
distributes it to each state health
department on the basis of polio,
measles, and hepatitis incidence in
that state during the last five
years. The state makes the glo-
bulin available to physicians with
out charge.
