Probably 10 or IL teachers at
Armstrong no longer will be
needed there. he said, so some
Of them may move to Mckinley
with the transferring pupils.
DR.. Bish said he had been
asked questions about dances.
He said that is a matter I'VE
will deal with as the occasion
arises" but he added:
<"I can assure you your per-
sonal feelings will be respected
at all times. just as the feelings
of the others will be respected"
He added that the school still
plans to hold next years senior
prom at the Shoreham and the
Junior prom at the Willard.
Confident of Future.
Then he declared:
"I think we're going to have
a. program next year which is
going to make us proud of this
school. We're going to have a
larger program of studies, and
build back what we have lost in
technical education simply be-
cause we didn't have the people. :"
DR.. Bish then returned to the
problem of carrying out the
change.
i, This kind of thing rests upon
a mutual faith, a mutual UNI
Outstanding and a mutual con-
fldence, he declared. "At Nc
Kinley we have emphasized over
and over and over that the key
note in our growth and develop
ment is self discipline"
Asserting that dealing with
integration the school can't get
along with a "beat-people-over-
the-head approach" he con-
tinued:
I'VE don't intend to turn our
selves into policemen. We will
deal with each other truthfully
and fairly,
please do not forget" he de-
clared. that when Negro boys
and girls walk into this room
they themselves will not be sure
whether or not you respect them
as people, and their problem will
be just as difficult as yours to
deal with, and I suspect a bit
more.

Driving Habits
0fFederaI Tag
Motorists Hit
Keurns Criticizes
! Autoists at Hearing
On Truffic Act

Operators of Government-tag
motor vehicles were assailed for
their driving habits today by
Representative Kearns, Republic
can, of Pennsylvania.
His blast came as he presided
at a House District subcommit-
tee hearing on bill to revamp
the Capitals 1925 Traffic Act.
The Pennsylvania charged
that drivers of Government-tag
vehicles are getting away" with
traffic violations and added. II

He asked Traffic Director

list of the number of public
vehicle drivers-including hack
ers-whose permits have been
suspended under the city's new
point system. He also declared
hackers should undergo a peri
odic determination to keep their
permits.
Mr.. Kearns said the bill would
be approved by the Subcommit-
tee and passed on to the full
House District Committee for &C
ton. -
Mr.. Kneipp said the measure
twill overcome an accumulation
of difficulties" which have de-
veloped in the act since it was

All Inocu|ated
For PoIioC|ear
Critical Period
No Fuirfox Case
Reported Among
Pupils Treated
By Mary Lou Werner

DR.. Harold Kennedy. Fairfax
County health officer, can
breathe more easily now.
The incubation of $500 coun.
ty second graders who particle
pated in the Nationwide Salk
polio vaccine tests. has been
completed without one case Of
the dread disease occurring
among those who received the
shots.
1--WE really held our BREATH"
said DR.. Kennedy. Just one
case of polio among the children
who are receiving the shots. and
the whole test might have
failed"
The health officer, who is q
diplomatic of the American
Board of Preventive Medicine,
wasn't worried that the serum
would cause any cases of polio.
But he feared no amount Of
scientific assurance could have
persuaded the parents that was
the case, if one of the participant
ing children had become i'll.
First Test of Kind.
Fairfax was the first area in
the country to start mass tests
of the commercially produced
vaccine. in cooperation with the
National Foundation for 1nfan-
tile Paralysis.
Tests conducted on school chill.
dren in the Pittsburgh area q
year ago were of privately pre-
pared vaccine produced by the
inventor, DR.. Jonas Salk.
+ DR.. Kennedy was aware the
polio season was approaching
when the tests began. Other
nearby communities decided that
for that reason. they should not
participate. But DR.. Kennedy
and members of the Fairfax
County Medical Society agreed
to go ahead and risk the criti-
cism of parents if any cases OF
polio occurred among children
receiving the injections.
Few Drop Out.
I Their choice apparently was .
wise one. The NEGOTIATIONS be-
gan on April 26 and were COM
pleted last week. The number
of children participating at the
start was 2.349, and $500 were
still in when the final shots were
given. DR.. Kennedy said most
of those who dropped out were
| children who moved from the
county or who were absent for
unavoidable reasons.
Now all those, who were inocu-
lated should be immune to the
Gripping effects of polio, accord
ing to results of the preliminary
tests in Pittsburgh, said DR.. Ken
nedy.
The only polio case reported
in the county during the tests
was that of a 6-year-old boy,
who did not receive the shots.
He was a first-grade student
taking part in the test only as
one of the control" group. First
and second graders were used as
controls, which means their
names were taken to compare
the incidence of polio among
them with that among the Sec
ond graders who received the
shots. -

Strong Reply 10 U. 5.
Against Indo-China
Plan Urged by Bevan
By The Assoeioted Pres,

LONDON, April 9.-Aneurin
Bevan, leader of the Labor Par
tvs left wing, declared in a
newspaper article today Britain
must tell the United States "in
the cleareSt possible terms that
we are not prepared to be
dragged into military action in
Indo- China"
The fiery Welsh Socialists
comments in the pro-Labor Daily
Mirror followed the announce
ment last night that United
States Secretary of State Dulles
may fly to London and Paris
next week to press his demands
for an immediate declaration
promising united action"
against a possible Communist
sweep over Indo-C China.
"The time will soon come, If
indeed 1t hasn't already arrived,
to inform America that the pres
ence of American military per-
Sonnel in these (British) islands
is intolerable if our policies no
longer march together" wrote
Mr.. Bevan.
The independent Times and
liberal News Chronicle also ex-
pressed disquiet over Mr.. Dulles
call for q Big Three warning
to Red China against further
intervention in the war between
the French and the Commu-
nist-dominated Wet Mini rebels
in Indo-China.
Britain and France both were
reported baking at the Amer
lean pressure for a "hands-off"
warning and for the formation
Immediately of a donation anti
Communist front in southeast
Asia.
Both governments repeatedly
feel this would work against any
chance of agreements at the
Geneva meeting late this month
to discuss the Korean and Indo-
China wars with the Russians
and Red Chinese.
The Times commented:
$50 long as the Geneva Con-
ference may produce some re-
suits, it would seem to be both
premature and imprudent to
make a public declaration based
on the expectation that it will
fail"
The News Chronicle said:
"The British and French gov
ernments believe that an ulti-
matum of this sort, delivered on
Geneva'S eve, would not assist |
and might wreck the conference. |
They are for leaving both sides
free to negotiate in the best
possible atmosphere. We think
the British and French view is
the right one"
