There are many changes
ahead at the Dominican en-
baSsy. Retiring Ambassador Luis
Francisco Thomen will close his
mission in this Capital Monday,
but he and Sonora de Thomen
probably will not leave for an
other week or 10 days. Sonora
de Thomen is recuperating from
a slight illness and will rest a
bit before starting homeward.
Ambassador and Sonora de
Thcmen are among the very
popular members of the diplo-
matte circle who have been
prominent here and their de-
parture is greatly regretted by
a wide circle of personal friends.
When the new President Hector
Trujillo, brother of the former
Chief Executive, Generalissimo
Rafael Trujillo, took Office, DR..
Thomen offered his resignation
"a diplomatic routine. 1t was
accepted and the Ambassador
and his family packed and
shipped much of their personal
belongings. Then President Hec-
tor Trujillo asked the Ambas-
sador to stay on and so-after
all the farewell parties, some
times three a day-they settled
down again in the embassy.
However. most of their personal
belongings went on to their
Dominican home.

East German Reds
Threaten 10 Evict
Food-Gift Seekers
By the Associoted Press

BERLIN, Aug. 29.-The east
zone Communist drive against
the American food distribution
program took new harsh turn
today with threats to dispossess
Soviet zone residents who come
west for the gifts.
Party leaders unveiled the
threat at an organized meeting
of workers on the big Stain Alice
housing project in East Berlin
last night.
The Communist zone official
press published a declaration to-
day that any one who has been
given preferred treatment in OBJ
tanning housing should lose it if
he or she crosses to West Berlin
to get a food package.
Four Declared Guilty.
Four East Berlin workers were
named as guilty" and one, Georg
DombroWski. was thrown out of
his Stain Alice apartment.
Similar rallies were held in
other parts of the East Zone
and threats of evictions domi-
mated the speeches. Meetings
were turned into kangaroo courts
that singled out East Germans
for attacks, tried them and "Sen-
fenced" them to public shame.
In many cases, the victims also
were sentenced" to loss of their
jobs.
Thousands Steam Across.
The Red leaders declared omi-
nously that the fight against the
food program was just begin
ming.
Streams of border-crossers ar
rived at the food distribution
points again today, indicating
that another 100,000-parcel day
was in the offing.
More than three million pack
ages of lard. flour and milk have
been distributed in a month. An
other million is on hand for the
continuing program.

pay rate.
The conductors settled their
last dispute with the railroads
in May. 1852, when the ORC
and two other unions signed
separate agreements.
Under the 1852 agreement the
union withdrew temporarily the
demand for the graduated pay
rates and pledged not to ask any
pay or. other contract changes
until after October l, 1858.
The union now insists, how
ever. it is entitled to renew the
old demand. But the railroads
contend the moratorium runs
until October and the union
can't raise the point until then.

Editor, Southern Jewish Weekly
P. o. Box 1888
Jacksonville, Florida
Dear Mr.. Moscovitz:
I am writing to a number of
parents whose children received
the benefit of Camp Ramah in the
Poconos last year, in the hope
that they will want to help us in
a problem which we are facing at
this time.
AS you may know, each year in
the past three years, we were
compelled to turn away hundreds
of wonderful children who want
ed to come to Camp Ramah, SIM
ply because of lack of space.
Knowing what this meant to
the parents, the children, and to
Jewish Education, this has given
us much concern. We could not
increase the capacity of Camp
Ramah in the Poconos without
harming the character of the
camp. Yet, we had to do some
thing to meet the increasing de-
mands for the Ramah program.
After much discussion, we
agreed to open a new Camp
Ramah. We selected a beautiful
spot at East Hampton, Connecti-
cut, and with the help of a few
friends, we were able to put down
deposit of 100000 and sign a
contract for the acquisition of the
camp.
Our problem is simple. The
camp costs $14O,OO0.OO and re-

10000 this year. The balance will
be paid over long term of years.
We have no fears about paying
the balance in the course of the
years. However, we do need, at
once, 100000 to complete our
down payment.
Will you join us in this under
taking?
With sincerest thanks and with
Ramah greetings,
Cordially,
Abe Birenbaum,
Chairman

Derrick Urges Cut in Output
OF Milk, Calls Outlook Dark

from 25 to 40 cents per hundred
pounds.
This would lower the price to
area producers, since dairy farm
ers receive a blend price on this
market. The blend price, Mr..
Derrick explained, is the average
of the prices paid for fluid milk
that goes into bottles and the
surplus milk that is sold at lower
prices for manufactured prod
ucts.
Since there is always a sur
plus on the Washington market,
no producer may ever receive
the 1922 per hundred price for
Glass l fluid milk permitted by
the Virginia Milk Commission,
he said.
He said the association, in the
last 19 years, has increased pro-
duction from $4,000 gallons to
$4,000 gallons per day. In 1884,
he said, total revenues from milk
sold in Washington amounted to
$50 million. He estimated pro-
ducerS will receive about 1854
million this year.
Mr.. Derrick spoke at the asso-
citation meeting at Forestville,
one in a series of meetings spon-
sored by the association during
the fall.

New Device 10 Test
Infants Hearing Used
AtChiIdren' sHospitaI

A new, highly-specialized de-
vice for measuring the hearing
capacity of very young children
has been put into operation at
Children's Hospital.
The $4,000 machine built by
physicists at George Washing
ton University has been under
test for use in training operators
since June.
DR.. Allen E. Walker, jr.. head
of the hospitals hearing clinic,
is convinced the apparatus will
prove valuable in certain types
of cases.
These include children of 18
months or over who appear un-
responsive to sounds, and chill
dren up to four or five years old
who for various reasons can give
little voluntary aid to specialists
trying to test their hearing.
The psychog alv anometer,
which was developed at Johns
Hopkins Hospital by DR.. William
G. Hardy and tested there for
the last five years, measures
certain automatic nerve and skin
responses over which the child
has no conscious control.
The young patients are con-
ditioned for the tests with irri-
tating electric shocks which fol-
low certain sounds.
Soon apprehension or fear as
sociated with the sounds and
shocks begins to activate the
sweat glands to a measurable
degree.
Thus the hearing level can be
determined in child quite in
capable of reacting consistently
to ordinary tests, DR.. Walker
said.
In many cases infants with
subnormal hearing are incor-
rectly supposed to be retarded
mentally. it was pointed out. In
any event, an early diagnosis is
advised for young children whose
responses are open to question.

The outlook for milk producers
in the Washington area is darker
than it has been for 10 years
according to Bruce B. Derrick,
secretary treasurer of the Mary
land and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association.
Mr.. Derrick told a meeting OF
Fairfax County milk producers
last night that perhaps the time
has come when Washington pro-
ducers must cut production.
For the last 18 years I have
urged you to produce more
milk" Mr.. Derrick said. Il told
you when the time came to stop
producing I would tell you. 1t
looks like that time may be here
now"
Mr.. Derrick said the removal
or lowering of support prices on
dairy products would materially
affect producers on the Wash
ington market, and consequently
the economy of the entire Wash
ington milkshed.
He estimated that removal of
supports from butter nigh lower
the price Of Glasses 2 and 3.

State Is Assured
On Sewer Project fol
AIexandria-Fairfax
By Mary Lou Werner
Stor Stoff Correspondent

Stdf St0TI correspondent
RICHMOND, Nov. 6.-The Vir-
ginia State Water Control Board
has been given assurance that
Fairfax and Alexandria intend
to go through with a joint sew
age disposal program.
Representatives of the two
jurisdictions submitted reports
to the water board at a hearing
in Richmond yesterday.
Fairfax County Executive C
c Massey said he believed the
County Board of Supervisor:
would approve by November Is
a sewage service contract Offered
by the Alexandria Sanitation
Authority.
Backed by Engineers.
E. Blackburn Moore. chairman
of the water board, asked if ans
objections had arisen to the pro-
posed contract.
Mr.. Massey replied that the
county's own consulting en-
gineers recommended the 'oint
plan as the most economical So
luton to part of the county'S
sewage disposal problems. He
said he knew of no serious OBJ
jections.
1.-THE real interest IF the water
board is to have things proceed
as rapidly as possible" said Mr.
Moore.
Mr.. Massey stated that the
Fairfax supervisors already are
on record declaring their inten-
ton to participate in the Joint
plan. He said the county was
committed to share in the cost
of plans now being prepared.
James j. Corbalis. jr.. engineer
director uf the Alexandria Sani-
tation Authority. reported what
progress had been made since
Alexandria appeared before the
water. board in August.
$10.4 Million Cost Figured.
Engineers estimate the joint
project would cost $10.4 million.
It will provide treatment facil-
tiles and intercepting sewers for
all of Alexandria and for por-
tionS of sanitary districts No.
and 6 in Fairfax County. The
present plant under construction
in Fairfax County is designed to
meet the needs of sanitary dis
trict No. l only until 1856.
BY joining with Alexandria,
engineers estimate Fairfax
County can save over 81 million
and provide a higher degree OF
sewage treatment than would be
available by expanding the Fair
fax plant. The Alexandria plant
is designed for 80 per cent
treatment. The Fairfax plant is
designed for SO to so per cent
treatment.
The board also has an ap-
plication for construction of 8
small, privately operated sewage
disposal plant on Pohick Greek
in the Mason Neck area of Fair
fax County.
The application was made
by Edward L. Blincoe of the
Northern Virginia Water and
Sanitary Corp.
Mr.. Bllncoe said the plant was
necessary to allow development
along Pohick and Accotink Greek
watersheds. He said that area OF
the county has been slow devel-
oping because it is unsatisfactory
for septic tanks. and sewage dis
poSal facilities aren't available
He declared the plant originally
would be built to serve a pro-
posed 45-acre subdivision around
the plant site, and in the future
could serve other subdivisions
upstream. 4,
