Dentist and Doctor
Teamwork Stressed
As Health Key

The approach of a closer rela-
tlonship between physicians and
dentists was indicated yesterday
at a discussion on the effect
dental infections might have on
the rest Of the body.
While it has not been proved
that a dental cavity might poison
other areas of the body. some re-
lationship has been shown be-
tween certain diseases and bad
teeth. And. at a symposium yes
terday before the annual meet
ing Of the District Dental So
ciety, the team idea of the doctor
and the dentist working together
to root out all infection was
accented.
DR.. Thomas Mop. Brown of
George Washington University
Hospital. a physician, spoke of
some diseases that have shown
improvements with the removal
OF infected teeth, but he empha-
sized there are just as many ill
nesseS that persist despite den
tai work He pointed out, how
ever that infectious organisms
are released into the blood stream
after extractions and that eau
ton should be exercised in cases
where the patient had a pre-
vious history of heart disease.
DR.. Sterling v Mead, a dentist,
told his colleagues teeth should
not be removed "ruthlessly" at
the insistance of the physician.
He said every attempt should be
made to save the tooth, but more

Lack Of Vote Is Seen
Multiplying D. {. Problems

All the problems that lie ahead
for the District, whether racial,
financial or operational, will con-
tinue to grow so long as Dis
trict residents do not have the
right to vote, the Shepherd Park
Citizens Association agreed last
night.
The association backed the
home-rule bill after listening to
opposing arguments presented
by two local attorneys, Herbert
Leeman and Vinton E. Lee.
Mr.. Leeman said the only way
to prepare for national repre-
sentation is to get home rule.
Although Federal contribution to
District expenses is not adequate
now, he said, a larger. share can
be obtained with a delegate in
Congress.
Heavy opposition came from
Mr.. Lee, who felt that I'VE
shouldn't want to vote just for
the sake of voting" He referred
to the Districts present form
of government as unique, ef-
fective and powerful"
The association met in the
Shepherd School, Fourteenth
and Kalmia road NV.

ton.
DR.. Lester w. Burket, q den
fist, said the investigation to de-
termine whether mouth infec-
tions lead to other infections
elsewhere has brought dentists
and physicians closer together.
DR.. Floyd D. Ostrander, an.
other dentist. said every infec.
ton should be eliminated. But
he emphasized this does not nee
essarily mean the removal of the
infected tooth.
Other persons who appeared
on the panel included DIR. Ar
thur Dick and DR.. Warren j.

Earlier, some 1000 dentists,
attending the meeting in the
Shoreham Hotel, heard Scott

Bureau Of Security of the State
Department, describe a new

On Research Projects.
At one of the table clinics,
Georgetown University Dental
School students exhibited the
new trend in the curriculum Of
dental schools.
The students are assigned to
research projects during their
schooling in an effort to produce
more research throughout the
dental profession.
Three students have completed
another investigation on the con-
troversial saliva test which, in
some circles, is considered a
method to determine the sex of
an unborn child.
The budding dentists. Edward
F. Gilbert, Alfred A. Destefanis
and Edward Vanyo. reported
they had about 10 per cent &C
curacy in determining the sex Of
a child after examining expect
ant mothers at Georgetown
Hospital.
Dentists are not so much in
terested in the matters Of birth
as in the hormone content Of
saliva. Some physicians say the
saliva test is inaccurate.
The dental meeting will end
tomorrow.

VIENNA. Austria. Mar. 49,
Ten Hungarian refugees, half
starved and frostbitten. have

ney halfway across Hungary

officials revealed yesterday.
The six men, three women and
a child Of five. took a week for
their journey from Budapest.
Often cold and begged In mud,
the band was discovered three
times in its flight. but each time
managed to escape.

The band moved at night and
hid in farm haystacks most of
the days.
The three women and the
child developed frostbitten feet
and had to be assisted or car
ried by the men. The party had
nothing to eat for the last two
days.
The gun fight occurred March

party in the dark near the town

He saw a policeman running
toward him. He drew his own Dis
tol and brought the man down
with five shots.
Knowing there would be ut
least one more policeman in
the vicinity. the group leader ran
away from his party as a decoy
and soon was engaged in gunfire
by the second policeman. He fired
twice and felled the Communist.
From then on, the band
pushed forward, desperately in
fear of being tracked down.
Once they were discovered by a
hunter-obviousiy a Communist
because only trusted officials may
own guns. They told him they
were making for Austria and he
went away. saying: Lets pre-
tend you never told me that"
On another occasion, the leader
decoyed away two police.
Another narrow escape came
by night on the Austro- Hun
garian border. One of the group
accidentally touched "a trip-wire
and set off two rockets.

the nearest observation tower"
said one refugee, "but the guards
apparently did not dare to turn
on their lights or fire for fear
of being fired on themselves"
The group pushed on through
an area Of anti-personnel mines,
a plowed minef1eld and more trip
wire and finally reached Aus

Rockville Man Tells
OF Attending 1912
Spokane Red Group
~ The AssoeIsssd Press

CHICAGO. Mar. ia former
Government cancer worker who
was dismissed from his job as q
security risk testified yesterday
that he was a "dupe Of the Com
munist Party" In 1912.
The testimony was given by
Vernon Todd Riley, 80. of Rock
vile. Md. at q session Of q
House Un-American Activities
subcommittee held in the United
States Courthouse. Mr.. Riley
was q $6,140-a-year biologist at
the National Cancer Institute,
Bethesda, Md, until his dismissal
February !.
Robert Kunzig, committee
counsel. read into the record a
report by the Loyalty Review
Board which said it considered
there was well corroborated"
evidence that Mr.. Riley was q
member Of the Communist Party
from 1941 to 1913.
Mr. Riley was confronted with
a card which Chairman Velde,
Republican, Of Illinois, said had
been identified by an FBI under
cover worker as a Communist
Party transfer card issued after
he moved from Spokane, Wash,
to Maryland.
Did Not Know Of Card.
Mr.. Riley said he had no
knowledge Of the card, which
bore only his typed name,
number. the date, December "a,
1913, and a notation that dues"
had been paid through Deem
Der %, 1913.
The hearing was televised with
cameras concentrating on Mr..
Velde, Mr.. Kunzig and two SUBJ
committee members. Repre-
sentative Scherer. Republican,
Of Ohio and Representative
Moulder. Democrat, of Missouri.
Mr.. Riley's request that he not
be televised brought an order
from Mr.. Velde that the cameras
avoid him.
Mr.. Riley recalled that he had
told the committee in 1948 he
had no Communist connections.
He said reflection had convinced
him. however, that group
with which he had met in Spo-
kane in 1912 was a "parlor pink
discussion group with Commu-
mist overtoneS."
Invited by Art Teacher.
Mr.. Riley said his first con-
tact with the group came while
he was employed by the Corps
Of Engineers, when his wife was
invited to party by her art
teacher. He said there was no
political discussion at the party,
but several of those who at
tended. including himself, met
later at the home of a Paul
Scot to discuss wartime prob
lens"
Thereafter. he said. the group
held monthly discussion meet
ings at the homes of members.
He said the group was organ
lied by a Barbara Hartle,"
about 45-older than most men,
bers who were of college age.
Mr.. Kunzig said the Hartle
woman had been convicted re-
Gently on the West Coast of
violating the Smith Act which
deals with subversive activities.
Soviet Alliance Stressed.
During the discussion sessions
Mr.. Riley said, he and other
young members of the group had
the impression that "the very
survival of the United States
depended upon our alliance with
Russia"
Asked by a subcommittee
whether ne was a leader
of the group, MI. Riley said,
Only in the sense of leading
some of the discussions"
Il had an active curiosity
about things the Reds offered,
and l think in retrospect did
go overheard I think the whole
