Mrs. George F. Galland, presi-
dent Of the League of Women
Voters of Alexandria, said league
members had raised a question
as to the appropriateness of the
loyalty question. Mrs. Galland
said a league committee chair
man, who talked to school off,
cials. was told that others had
commented on the query and it
was being dropped from the
QUESTIONABLE.

felt it is improper to evaluate q
child on such a serious question.
Mrs Galland added she believes
it is unfair to request teachers
to answer the question because
they are not trained loyalty eval-
uators.
Mr.. Pruet said that In the two
years the question has been
asked. the answer always has
been mo-" He said some persons
were concerned that possible vim
dictiveness Of q teacher could

stricken from a QUESTIONABLE
which forms part of the per-
manent written records of stu
1ents at George Washington High
School in Alexandria.
The question teachers were re-
Quested to answer on each stu

to doubt the students loyalty
to the United States?"

Teacher Association member and
a representative of the League
Of Women Voters talked to school
officials.
The question will still be an
swered for prospective Govern

Gamma GIobu|in Aid
For Polio Patients
Declared Not Proved

Maryland health officials have
been told that there is no
medical evidence to prove the
effectiveness of gamma glohulin
against polio. ~
A policy statement on distribu-
ton of gamma globulin by the
State Board of Health said the
substance was not shown to be
effective in tempering the par
alytic effects of polio under the
plan by which it was given only
to household contacts"
Gamma globulin is not to be
confused with the Salk Polio vac
cine currently being given to
children of the second grade in
Fairfax County.
The State boards statement
followed a survey of the effec-
tiveness of "GG" by the Ma
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis and the Association of
State and Territorial Health
Officers.
Committee Members.
Members of a committee
which studied the surveys and
made recommendations to the
State board were DR.. Thomas s..
Englar and DR.. v. l.. Ellicott,
health officers of Prince Georges
and Montgomery Counties, and
the health directors of Anne
Arundel, Frederick and Balti-
more Counties and the City of
Baltimore.
"The committee faced the di-
lemma of distributing gamma
globulin this summer for use in
connection with polio in the face
of insufficient evidence of its
effectiveness" the county health
officers said. | z ?
No Supporting Evidence.
State health officials said a
Public Health Seryice-sponsored
group of specialists found no
evidence to support last years
claims that "GG" is a polio de-
terrenC They said they hoped
these findings would be circu-
lated Gin time to foreStall the
run and the furor over 'GG'
when the polio season begins"
The State Health Department
said it still will supply gamma
globulin to local health authori-
ties for use by private physi-
clans who request it. The sub
stance is an extract ,of whole
blood and is provided without
charge by the National Red
Cross. It is considered useful
against measles and Infectious
hepatituS.
Montgomery County health
officials reported they halted an
outbreak of hepatitis. commonly
known as yellow jaundice, at
Poolesville. Md, in March using
gamma globulin.

Near Potomac Bluffs
Delayed in Arlington

The Arlington County Board
last night postponed decision
on a rezoning request affecting
nine acres of residential land
near the Potomac River bluffs.
On its own motion the board
was considering a change in clas-
sif1cation from R-20 to Rio for
property in the 2700 block of
North Marcy road. The change
would reduce lot size require
mentS.
Residents of the area opposed
the rezoning as a down-grading
move in the county's highest
zoned residential area. The
Donaldson Run Civic Association
said the change would amount to
spot zoning.
Change Recommended.
The County Planning Com
mission had recommended the
change, arguing that an adjoin-
ing Rio area is in a deteriorat-
ing state and would adversely
affect development of the vacant
land in its present high classi-
f1cation.
Board Members Robert Peck
and George RoWzee said they
favored the rezoning but Chair
man Leone Buchholz and Alvin
Kimel, board member, wanted
to defer action until the county
planning staff completes a study
Of the entire R-20 area along
the upper Potomac. The recon-
ing finally was deferred until
the November zoning session.
John Stewart, of 1869 Beech
wood circle, presented argu-
ments of the Belleview Forest

to the change. Edward Hincks

Federation which also opposed

trict lying to the south of Quaker

Mr.. Beall asked the board to
reconsider its action of last

she declared. "Our country has
been built on the premise that
its citizens must earn what they
get rather than depend on the
vagaries of chance. We teach
that and we can't advocate
worthwhile things in the class
room and then set them aside
lightly because of possible bene-
fits to a worthy cause"
