A. Some might have a sore arm
for a few hours.
@. My son had gamma glObulin
last year. Should he take the
vaccine?
A. Certainly. The immunity
effect of gamma globulin lasts
only a short time.
@. What has been the Incl
dence of polio among those chill
dren in Pittsburgh who already
have received the vaccine?
A. None.
@. How about the vaccine's
effect on kidney functions and
on RH factors? Is the child
briefly sensitive to polio after
receiving the shots? "a mother
read the questions from news
paper account of a Michigan
State Medical Society meeting.)
A. A year-long test has shown
no effect on kidneys. The method
of producing the vaccine makes
the RH factor dangers inSig-
nif1cant. according to the United
States Public Health Service.
There have been no signs of
sensitivity to polio after the vac
cine is administered.
@. Have dead virus ever been
used for any other type vaccine?
A. Yes. Smallpox, for instance.
@. Did Montgomery County
drop out on advice of Johns
Hopkins experts?
A. They said they couldn't get
the vaccine in time to complete
the tests before school ends this
year. They have longer Easter
vacation than we do.
@. Can parents be present
when the shots are given?
A. It would be impractical to
have parents in the clinic rooms
as the shots are given. because
we plan to inoculate so an hour.
The shots are given in the muscle
of the arm. ] am sure principals
will be glad to have parents at
the school to wait for the chill
dren as they come out of the
room where the shots are given.
@. Should my child take the
test If he has had polio?
A. Yes. The vaccine is for all
three types Of known polio.
@. Does the vaccine affect the
production of blood cells?
A. No, not at all.
@. Can an inoculated child
be a carrier and infect other
children in a household?
A. No, because only dead virus
are administered. and the dis
ease cannot be transmitted from
one body to another by dead
virus. The dead virus causes
anti-bodies. or immunities. to de-
velop in the body Of the person
who receives it.
Before the meeting closed, DR..
Kennedy treasured the parents
that the tests would be called of
if the slightest doubts arise about
the safety. He said he had the
authority to cancel the tests at
any time.

headquarters in College Park,

2. Are organizing a full slate
of candidates for local Offices in
the Democratic primary June %
Prince Georges has been con-
sidered one of the sure counties
for DR.. Byrd. Mr.. Mahoney's
rival for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation. DR.. Byrd has lived most
of his life in Prince Georges as
coach, teacher and president of
the University of Maryland.
Millar As Manager.
Norman zipkin, West Hyatts-
vile builder, who led Mr.. Ma
honey's Prince Georges cam
paign against former Represen-
tative Sasscer for the Demo-

campaign manager for the
county this election.
Mr.. Zipkin said he would con-
tinue in his capacity as Mr.. Ma
honey's official adviser for Prince
Georges.
Mr.. Zipkin and Mr.. Millar said
they are actively organizing a
slate of candidates to file with
Mahoney backing in the Demo-
cratic primary-if it becomes
necessary.
They indicated they are taking
this action because they feel the
Democratic Central Committee
has spurned them in selecting the
ticket. Although the committee
has not yet announced its official
Endorsements. Mr.. Zipkin said he
would be very surprised if the

Mr.. Zipkin charged that the

some Mahoney people and other
anti-organization leaders.

He suggested that if reason

recommendations of the council

sition and-as he put it-"be
neutralized."
He gave no indication of who
would be on a Mahoney slate.

Left in the wake Of an enemy

They may be anywhere your

beside a water main. Some may 60

Tracking down reports Of these
"duds" and determining their ma

specialized CD volunteer group, the
Explosive Ordnance Reconnaissance
Division, under DR.. William Lock-
wood, dupont explosive expert.
EOR agents, once they find an
unexplOded bomb, will reports it's
location to the Army, which will
send technically trained crews to
remove it. Until that is done, EOR
agents will be expected to take
steps to protect lives and property.
These may involve evacuating peO-
pie in the vicinity, barricading
the bomb itself with sandbags.

About $50 volunteers are enrolled

Every EOR volunteer is expected
to take a short course under Army

selected location.
Because it carefully selects and
trains its personnel, EOR is one of
the states most efficient and effec-
tive volunteer CD outfits.
In emergency operations, once
EOR agents discover an unexplod-
ed bomb, they will assign to it a
priority on removal. A dud located
near a hospital, for instance, would
get attention before one in a resi-
Dental street, which could be evac-
uated.
In deciding on a priority, the
EOR must gauge the possible dam
