Park Planners Ask
Higher Debt Limit

Legislation increasing the debt
limit of the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission to permit it to buy and
develop parks in nearby Mary
land was called for yesterday by
a commission member.
Commissioner Sidney M. Oil
yer said the planning agency
should ask the General Assembly
for authorization to borrow 81
million or IS million to acquire
property and establish parks in
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties.
He also said legislation should
be sought to extend the COM
missions regional district to
take in all of both counties The
regional district now embraces
only the nearby suburban areas
of the two counties.
BY extending the boundaries
and getting authority to sell
more bonds, Mr.. Oliver said. the
commission could go outside its
present limits and buy park
tracts where land is much
cheaper than it is nearer the
city.
The commission took under
advisement Mr.. divers proposal
that a committee be formed to
press for the legislation.

Budget Fight
Launched in
Virginia Senate
Labor Bill Passes
Amid Bitter Debute
In Lower House
ster Stoff cerrespendent

RICHMOND, Mar. IL. A
stormy debate that accompanied
passage Of the right-to-work bill
still echoed In the House Of
Delegates today as the State
Senate launched another verbal
exchange over the three quarter
billion dollar budget.
Senator Charles r. FenWick Of
Arlington led a fight to recap
ture some $500, 900 in welfare
funds-a large portion of it for
foster home care of children
which was removed by the
Finance Committee.
At issue, too. was restoration
of 81 million in appropriations
for health, education and other
needs. which the Senate COM
mitree eliminated after the
House had voted to suspend the
Byrd tax credit law to include
this money.
Broken Pledge Charged.
Before the House passed, 81
to 80, q watered-down version of
the right-to-work amendments,
charges were repeated that Gov.
Stanley had broken another
campaign promise Of last year by
Endorsing the legislation.
Delegate Robert Whitehead of
Nelson. fiery anti-organization
Democrat. branded the bill as
having been conceived in in
equity. born in sin and reeking
with injustice"
Declaring every word of this
bill waves like a red flag in front
of labor" Mr.. Whitehead said
that not since the original right
to-work law was passed under
Gov. Tuck in 1947 has there
been so much CONSERVATION and
fear in a large segment Of our
population"
Administration forces. led by
Floor Leader E. T.. Dejarnette
amended some of the features Of
the Senate-approved bill which
House opponents had planned to
change. Left in. however, was
the provision that violation
would be crime-punishable as
a misdemeanor. with fines of up
to $500 day. Also remaining
was the power of injunctive re-
lief for violations.
Mr.. Whitehead said the crimi-
nal features Of the bill go even
further than the Taft-Hartley
Act.
Hits Original Bill.
Much of his criticism was di-
rected at the Senate version of
the bill before the Dejarnette
amendments were offered in the
House.
The Dejarnette amendments
were adopted. 81 to 80. and the
bill was passed by a vote OF
81 to 38.
A House resolution calling for
a change in the State conStitu-
ton to permit lower chamber
members to serve four-year terms
instead Of having to stand for
reelection each two years was
killed by the Senate Rules Com
mittee today.

.Foggy, Bottom
Strip zoned
For Business
Decision Could
Leud to 500 Million
In Construction
By John W. Stepp

The District zoning Commits
sion has driven a new wedge
into Washington's Foggy Bot
tom district that may ultimately
mean nearly 500 million in new
construction.
The regulatory body approved
rezoning. from residential to
commercial status. of a tract 1875
feet deep along the west side Of
Twenty-fourth street. between
H street and Virginia avenue
NV.
An organization known as the
Potomac Parkway Plaza Devel-
opment Co.. which plans the new
development, intends to build
apartment houses and Office
buildings in the area. The prop
erty under consideration by the
coming commission is owned by
Washington Gas Light Co..
which wants to sell to the de-
velopment corporation.
For New Construction.
This land, as we'll as adjoining
property all the way down to the
Rock Greek and Potomac park
way, is earmarked by developers
for new construction.
Two big gas storage tanks now
occupy the block surrounded by
Twenty-fourth. Twenty-fifth and
H streets and Virginia avenue.
The coming commissioners. in a
flying trip yesterday. contem-
plated these as well as the sur
rounding area, which is deep in
the throes of individual home
renovation.
The commission OVERRIDE the
dissenting voice of the Zoning
Advisory Council. Dissenter John
Nolen, jr., director of National
Capital Planning Commission.
urged that no isolated strips of
land be rezoned in this fashion.
Mr.. Nolen contended that an
overall plan for the area should
be taken into account in the
commission action.
Other Commitments Withheld.
Emphasis was placed on the
fact that the commission re-
fused to commit itself on other
than the Twenty-fourth street
frontage. Any further applica-
tions for coming that would per-
NIT apartment-house Develop
ment will have to be considered
separately, the commission ruled.
Among other actions. it was
decreed that an amendment to
the coming code to permit foster
homes in residential areas be
submitted at a future commits
sion hearing. The District Well
fare Department wants the
privilege of naming qualified
foster homes in its own right.
The commission amendment
would permit such requests to
be filed with the Zoning Adjust
ment Board.

Gamma GIobuIin
For 1.9MiIIion Shots
Ready in Polio Fight

Enough gamma globulin for
100000 shots for group in
EQUATIONS are available this
year for the fight against polio.
But Montgomery, Loudoun,
Fairfax and Arlington Counties
and Alexandria City viii get none
under recommendations of the
National n; Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis.
The foundation recommended
that none Of the gamma globulin
be a1located for areas where the
trial polio vaccine tests are being
run
The Office Of Defense Mobili-
cation through the Public Health
Service again this year will
have charge of the ALLEGATION of
gamma globulin. which scientists
believe may provide temporary
protection against the disease.
But family contacts of polio
victims are not expected to re-
ceive the shots as they did last
year. Surveys failed to show
beneficial results in this group
and many scientists believe thu
shots were given too late to be
be effective.
About 10 per cent of the
gamma globulin stock will be
kept in reserve. Another $780,
000 shots will be allocated
among the States soon on basis
of the incidence of polio over
the last five years.
The remaining $4,000 will be
dealt out by the Public Health
Service for ALLEGATION on the
basis Of unusual epidemic situa-
tons.
Gamma globulin, in controlled
field tests a few years ago, was
found to give protection for up
to five weeks.
The national foundation spent
$19 million on the gamma globu-
lin program for this year.
The ALLEGATION plan was made
recently in a conference between
officials Of the American Red
Cross, the foundation, the execu-
tive committee of the Associa-
ton Of State and Territorial
Health Officers and ODM.

Byrd, kahoneyC Clash
Over Spending Issue

BALTIMORE. Mar. IL. -
George P. Mahoney and H. c.
Byrd, campaigning for Mary
lands Democratic gubernatorial
nomination clashed yesterday
on the issue of State spending.
DR.. Byrd took exception to a
statement made by Mr.. Ma
honey in a speech Wednesday
night. Mr. Mahoney had labeled
DR.. Byrd as one whose name
has become a byword for spend
ing in Maryland.
Mr.. Mahoney, who describes
himself as a businessman. said
in his speech that neither Dr..
Byrd nor Republican Gov. Nc
Keldin could be elected as Mary
lands next Governor. He gave
as his reasons that McKeldin
has increased the budget by
$50 million" and that "Byrd's
name has become a byword
for spending"
In his defense. DR.. Byrd,
former president of the Uni
versity of Maryland. quoted fig
ures to show that the State has
appropriated only half of the
money for the univerSity's plant
and operations.
He also offered to donate $500
to Mr.. Mahoney's campaign IF
my opponent can give one sin
gle instance in which I, for the
University of Maryland. have
been wastefully lavish of State
money"

The vaccine itself is safety

From each batch of vaccine,

get intramuscular injections 10
times as strong as those given a
child.
Spinal Cords Studied.
For % days they are observed.
Then their spinal cords are stud

virus.
AT the same time. other tests
are being run.
The vaccine is put into a test
tube tissue culture. Six times,

changed to give the virus every
chance to reproduce and grow.
Four rabbits. 20 white mice

In from 80 to % days, the
tests are complete.
These same tests are conduct
ed simultaneously in the labora-

vaccine at DR.. Salk's laboratory
and at the Biologics Laboratory
at the National Institutes of
Health in Bethesda.
If any sign of live virus is
found at any point in these tests,
the entire batch of vaccine is
thrown out.
Even if it means not one shot
of the vaccine is to be given this
summer. no vaccine is going to
be distributed by the foundation
until it passes all the safety
tests" DR. Herbert T. Wagner
regional director for the founda-
TONS field tests said on Wednes-

DR.. Wagner added the field
trials here are a test of the eff

In no school among "a Sc
