Doctor Seeks Clues
To BabY's Death in
Richie Foster Home

A District Welfare physician
today began checking into the
medical history of a 4-months-
old girl who died in a Ritchie
(Md0 foster home Saturday
from head injuries.
DR.. Jack Clay. staff member
for the District of Columbia
Village Home for the Aged, was
assigned yesterday to investigate
the background Of the baby
Sallie Patricia Trent, who was
abandoned in a Washington res
taurant March %.
Since April 9, the infant has
been assigned by the District
Welfare Department to foster
home operated by Mrs. Christine
G.. Plato at 1926 Ritchie road,
Ritchie, Md. Most of that pc
riod, however, the baby has been
under treatment at District Gen
eral Hospital, according to Miss
Gertrude Richmond, acting su-
perintendent of the child welfare
division of the District Welfare
Department.
Described as "Sickly."
Miss Richmond described the
baby as "very sickly and under
weight"
DR.. James !. Boyd, Prince
Georges County medical exami-
ner, in the death certificate is
sued Sunday, said the infant died
Of an intercranial hemorrhage
due to a blow to the head. He
said today. however. that the
blow was probably accidental. al
though he was not able to con-
firm that enough to include it in
his certificate.
Miss Richmond said.Dr. Clay
was assigned to investigate the
child's medical history after q
conference yesterday with De-
tective Sergt. Ralph Bond, who
has been investigating the death
for the Prince Georges County
Police Department.
Satisfied With Care.
Miss Richmond said her de-
partment has been assigning ba-
bies to Mrs. Plato's home since
1949 and has been very satisfied
with the care. The home is IL
censed by the District Welfare
Department under authority
granted by the Maryland De-
partment of Public Welfare.
She said DR.. Clay will check
the New York hospital where the
baby was born and will confer
with DR.. Boyd and DR.. Sidney
Lowry, physician for Mrs. Plato's
home. who attended the baby at
the time Of it's death.
She identified the baby's par
ents as Corbell John and Virginia
Cole Trent of. Lynchburg, Va.
She said they left their child
with a District couple in a res
taurant here March %, claiming
that they would return for their
daughter in day or two. When
they had not returned by March
q. the District couple turned the
baby over to authorities here.

A young woman writes me:
MY mother and father will cell
ebrate their golden wedding an
niversary next month. My sis
ter and I have made plans for
a reception at one of the hotels.
My mothers sister died two
weeks ago and mother thinks
we should cancel the party. I
don't want to seem coldhearted,
but a golden wedding anniver-
sary is rare occasion and we
don't want to see it 60 by with
out some sort Of celebration, If
possible Under the circum-
stances. would it be permissible
to 60 ahead with the party as
planned?"
Since your mother does not
want a celebration, under the
circumstances think it would
be best to cancel the party for
now-but possibly celebrate it
later in this their golden year.

John Locke Green
Files as Democrat
In Tenth District

Arlington Attorney John Locke
Green has paid the $3.50 filing
fee to enter the Democratic race
for the House seat in "the So
called 10th district Democratic
primary"
The former county treasurer,
who held local Office as Repub-
lican, says he is prepared to take
an oath to support candidates of
the Democratic Party and that
he voted for the Democratic
ticket in the last general cleo
ton.
Mr.. Green said he will file
formally as a candidate with The
10th District Democratic chair
man, State Senator Charles r.
Fenwick, before the April IA
deadline.
Already entered in the Demo-
cratic primary July Is, seeking
to GUST Representative Eroyhill,
Republican, are Dean Brundage
of Forestville, chairman Of the
social studies department at Ar
lington's Westinghouse High
School, and j. Walter White
of Mclean. a Fairfax County at
torney.
Mr.. Green paid the fee while
there is still pending in the State
Supreme Court of Appeals a
hearing on his suit to have the
1852 Redistricting Act declared
unconstitutional.
He entered the suit after the
State Elections Board turned
down his bid to file as an at
large candidate for Congress in
the November general elections.
The attorney charges the act
is illegal because it leaves too
much disparity in the popula-
ton of the districts it created.
The 10th district includes Ar
lington, Falls Church, Alexandria
and Fairfax.
Mr.. Green was Arlington
treasurer from 1910 to 1851. He
is 50 and lives at 4813 North
Twenty-fourth street. He is
married and has three children.

The Army Engineers yesterday

along the waterfront at the Tor

ing oil. and keep it from spread
ing across the river.
When the boom is completed,
the contained Oil will be treated
with carboniZed sand to make
it sink to the bottom of the river.
A spokesman for General Serv-
ices Administration, said the
boom would offer temporary re-
lief from the dirty oil until the
seepage can be corrected.

The Key To
American
Production

What is the key to the tremen-
dous production capacity of the
people of the United States?
Production output depends on
three things: the number Of work
ers; the number of hours they
work; and the number of goods pro-
duced by each worker during one
hour of time.
If John and Peter each can build
row boat in week, together they
can build two boats in a week. Or,
if John and Peter get together on
the same boat, they can finish the
job in half a week. Suppose, how
ever, that someone shows John, or
John works out his own ideas, how
to build his boat in half the time by
using different materials, or diff
ferent tools, or different ways of
going about the job. And mean
while Peter continues in the old
way. Now John can build two
boats to Peters one. We say that
Johns productivity" has been dou-
bled.
The production Of a nation de-
pends on these same three things:
the number Of workers, the amount
Of time spent on work, and "pro-
ductivity," or what a worker can
produce in a given period of time
Which Of these has done most to
increase American production over
the past forty years?
First, as to the number of work.

SO our total production in 1850
might be expected to be at least
3/4 times as great as it was in
