Robson Attends !
.Spingarn School Fefe,
But Politics Is Out

Singer Paul Robson turned up
at Spingarn High School yester-
day to take part in a celebration
But the controversial Negro
baritone carefully steered clear
of politics-at the request OF
school officials.
Spingarn, the Districts first
new high school built expressly
for Negroes, is to be formally
dedicated at 8 pm. tomorrow
Yesterday the school put on a
luncheon and assembly as part
of the observance.
Invited as Medal Winner.
Mr.. Robson was invited to be
a guest at the two events along
with other winners of the Spin
garn Medal, an annual award to
Negroes established by the late
Joel E. Spingarn, for whom the
school is named.
The Negro singer, who in
September was awarded a Stain
Peace Prize and long has been
friendly to the Soviet Union,
was not listed as a speaker, and
he spoke only briefly-about
football-when he was intro
duced at the luncheon.
DR.. Harold A. Haynes, assist
ant school superintendent, said
he informed Spingarn's princi-
pal, DR.. Purvis j. Williams, that
the singer would not be permit
ted to make a speech. But no
effort was made by the school to
obtain permission, DR.. Haynes
added.
Mr.. Robson was asked not to
talk politics, added DR.. Haynes.
Complies With Rule.
The District school system has
rule, adopted after a contro-
versial speaker appeared in a
school several years ago, that all
such speakers must be cleared
by the superintendent.
Mr.. RobenSon received the
Spingarn Medal in 1914 for his
achievements in music and
drama. The only other medalist

Justice Clark has maintained
that American judges in Ger

ordered him home because he
was critical of American High
Commission court policy.

Chairman Reed Of the House
Ways and Means Committee
predicted today the committee
will act quickly next year to
broaden and strengthen" the
social security program.
Mr.. Reed, in a statement, sug-
gested three specific reforms in
the system now providing gov
ernment death or retirement
benefit coverage to some IS mil
lion workers:
/. Extension of the system to
cover millions "who have been
arbitrarily denied this protec-
ton in the past" President
Eisenhower has proposed ex-
tending coverage to about los
million doctors, lawyers, farm
erS and others. Mr.. Reed
avoided a commitment to any
specific number or group.
2. An increase in the present
$25 minimum monthly retire.
ment benefit, 'to provide a more
realistic floor of protection for
those now retired"
3. Liberalizing a present clause
which denies retirement benefits
to persons between IS and rs
years of age who make $75
monthly or more in employment
covered by the system. About IA
million otherwise eligible aged
persons now are denied pay
mentS under this clause.
At the same time, Mr.. Reed
repeated his opposition to Gen.
Eisenhower's proposal to cancel
a scheduled January / increase
in social security taxes. The rate
jumps automatically from 11a to
2 per cent of wages up to So, 500
annually, paid by workers and
employees alike.

Thirty years ago this COM
ing Tuesday the story got the
top headline on Page / Of
The Star, but in two days
It's chief protagonist had
dropped from sight and the
episode itself was almost for
gotten in the rush of postwar
news.
"Bavarian Revolt Fails"
ran the headline of November
8, 1923. 'Ludendorff and
Hitler Prisoners of Troops"
There had been an uprising
in Munich. the story said, ap-
parently confined to the city's
largest beer hall. Gen. Won
Ludendorf and a man named
Adolf Hitler, whose muSta-
chioed picture appeared along
side the story, had proclaimed
themselves, respectively, mill
tary dictator and Chancellor Of
the Reich. Communications
were down, travel was stopped
at the Bavarian border, the
central government in Berlin
had suspended federal aid to
the isolated state. The allies,
still occupying part Of Ger
any, were repeatedly upset.
Forgotten Next Day
That was a Friday. On Sat-
urday. November 10, there was
a new sensation for Page /.
Former Crown Prince Fred
erick Wilhelm had slipped
across the border from his
exile in Holland and returned
to his native land. Far down
on the page q short three

story reported that all was
quiet in Bavaria. Gen. Won

Chancellor Stresemann and
other government leaders give
evidence of satisfaction over
the outcome of the Munich
putSch. They are inclined to
view 1t as a blessing in dis
guise in that it definitely dis
poses Of Ludendorf and Hitler
as future sources Of revolu-
tionary menace -
After that, no more for a

besides the Incidence" was
too high for the way polio

With top-notch medical men

The investigation seemed to
be getting down to brass tacks

AS NH scientists examined
specimens taken from each
patient-such as fluid from
their spines-sanitary engi-
neers inspected the sanitarium
for signs of faulty plumbing
or poor food handling.
The sanitary men found
nothing wrong. The scientists
turned to test tubes in a tedi-
Gus procedure, attempting to
find either of the three known
strains of the polio virus-or
some other clue. They hoped
to have an answer by the mid
die of September.

out that privilege the Mexico
route is not a paying one for

The Air Transport Board.
Canadian counterpart of the
CAB, retaliated Immediately
by issuing a. show-cause order

The Canadian board had
licensed Pan-Am to carry

Strictly speaking, Pan-Am is

American-Canadian air agree

the Canadian authorities are
threatening to knock Pan-Am
out of it's Seattle-FairbankS

So far it is only a threat.

mainly by the last-minute
quality of the CAB ruling

up from barbarism.
At various points along the
way, when Germany turned
upon her, or when she found
1t advantageous at the last
moment to enter against
Japan, the Soviet's war coin
cided with that of the allies.
For the rest, though Russia
went through the motions of
cooperation, it was one war

Back in July, when the
threat Of polio hung heavy, 13
members Of the staff of the
Chestnut Lodge Sanitarium, a
mental institution in Rockville,
went to bed pretty sick. They
had headaches, fever and some
muscle weakness. At first it
looked like polio: it was re-
ported as such to the Mont
gomery County Health Depart
ment.
Was 1t Polio?
When the word got around
Rockville that 13 cases of
polio had broken out at the
sanitarium there was talk
some pretty hot-of forced
quarantine measures; of silly
checks of the water supply at
Chestnut Lodge. But before
there was any terror in the
streets, several doctors began
to question the whole business.
II these cases are polio, they
said, they aren't acting like
polio. For one thing, the Is
persons were feeling much bet

The Medical Mystery Of Chestnut Lodge

throughout the nation seemed
to be on the wane and lot
of people had forgotten about
the epidemic at Chestnut
Lodge.
II More Cases
But officials of the sanitari-
um and the scientists at the
National Institutes had an an
nouncement: There had been
II more cases since the first
13: they still didn't know what
it was.
Four of the later cases were
admitted to the impressive
Clinical Center of the National
Institutes and were watched
closely by the doctors. They
had the same symptoms, but
got well just as fast. They
have all since been released
and no new cases have been
reported.
The nurses, students who
stay at the sanitarium for
training courses and then re-
turn back to their homes in
West Virginia, Virginia, Ten
nessee, North Carolina and
even Canada, nave all been
closely interviewed at length.
Every conceivable possibility,
according to doctor at Chest
nut Lodge, has been explored
and checked out. The test tube
men are still working on the
strange sickness that has
baffled, perhaps embarrassed,
those close to the situation.
Still, there has been moth
ing.
Whatever causes the illness,
maybe a willy, undiscovered
rascal of a germ, all those who
have tangled with it are back
in good health at present.

denly only one man stood be-
tween the 1923 pavement
hugger and his dream, old and
dying President Won Hinden-
berg, who repeatedly refused
to make Hitler Chancellor. He
did not bow until January 80,
1888, when Franz Won Papen,

the Junkers of the army con-

AS a result, Pan-American

stop in Canada. What is more,
the operations of a dozen
