ton girl who has been in an iron
lung for seven years received her
high school diploma today.

ploma. Carol decided in May to
study for it.
A neighbor, Mrs. Marie NAL
lot, a teacher for % years in the
Arlington schools, helped her.

writes by holding a pen in her
mouth, and turns pages as she
reads with special rod held in
her mouth. Her father, Gustave

Rate Discussion Bid
To Allied Group

An official of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
said last night the utility is
willing to discuss it's recent rate
increases and overall operations
with representatives of the AL
lied Civic Group of Silver Spring.
E. K Mike" Stabler, COM
mission public relations direc-

ing of his own accord and not
at the request of civic leaders.

cept a formal invitation in
writing
Before Mr.. Stabler spoke, Mr..

sanitary commission statement
issued IN Sunday newspapers,
charging the Allied Civic Group
with making "uninformed, mis-
leading and untrue" statements
to Gov. McKeldin last Wednes-
day in Baltimore.

met with the Governor to pro-
test commission rate increases
imposed last spring. The Mary
land Public Service Commission.
following a public hearing in
stigated by the civic group, re-
ported the rates were unjusti-
fled or unreasonable.
Gov. McKeldin, at Wednes-
days conference, told the rep
resentativeS to put their COM
plants in a letter and suggested
remedies which he, in turn,
would submit to the sanitary
commission. Then. the Governor
added, he would decide whether
the situation should be investi-
gated by an appointed board or
the State auditor.
The civic group retort hit at
the commissions claim that the
PSC reported the rate increases
were not unreasonable. Mr.. Nor
ris said the PSC decision was
based merely on an examina-
ton of a proper ALLEGATION of
the administrative and engineer
ing Office expenses" Mr.. Morris
said the civic group had re-
quested a full financial examina-
tion. This could not have been
accomplished during the three
days spent by the PSC auditor in
commission offices, he said.
Mr.. Stabler said any informa-
ton would have been supplied
the civic group previously, if re-
quested. He said other civic and
political organizations had re-
ceived such information.

.Loudoun Voters
Urged by Battle
To Elect Stanley
Governor Attacks
Dalton Plan for
Highway Bonds
By WiIIiom J. EIvin
Stor Stoff Cerrespondent

LEESBURG. Va, Oct. 27. -
Governor Battle, talking like a
candidate for reelection, last
night expressed satitfaction with
the record of his administration
and urged his Loudoun County
Courthouse audience to help
elect as his successor Thomas
B. Stanley.
The Governor told about 200
listeners, II unreservedly COM
mend to you" Mr.. Stanley and
the Democratic candidates for
lieutenant governor ad attorney
general, A. E. S. Stephens and j..
Lindsay Almond, jr.
IF you think it's time for a
change" he said, vote for the
Republican nominees" AS the
audience laughed, he continued,
Il don't know what kind of a
change it'll be, but you'll get it,"
Hits Dalton on Roads.
Specific issues of the campaign
received little attention from the
Governor, who said he has been
too busy to keep up with the
speeches. But he did attack a
program of the Republican NOM
inee for Governor, Ted Dalton,
for a bond issue to build high
ways.
Gov. Battle said other Govern
ers had asked him how Virginia
gets so much done. He said he
had replied that Virginia doesn't
spend nickel for interest and
not one dollar goes for graft"
"Our highway funds should be
spent for highways and not to
enrich bankers or bondholders, "
he said in support of the States
traditional pay-as-you-go policy
The statement drew heavy ap-
plauSe.
Cites AppOintive Power.
The Governor warned that. if
a Republican Governor is elect
ed, he will have tremendous
powers of appointment. Depart
ment heads, State boards and
most judges are appointed by the
Governor. he said.
His administration has been
more successful than a reading
of newspapers in recent months
would indicate, he said. He re-
called that his major campaign
pledge of aid to schools and I'M
provement of teachers salaries
has been carried out.
Some Richmond newspapers,
he said, talk about mental health
needs of the State without men
tioning that $21 million has oeen
appropriated in four years Tor
construction and reconstruction
Millions of dollars have been
spent to improve tuberculosis
treatment centers and the States
highway system, he added.
Gov. Battle was introduced by
Delegate Stilson Hall. The Gov
ernor said, after his speech, that
he is looking forward to taking
a rest when his term ends in
January. Later, he said, he in
tends to go back to "practicing
