Health Officials Plan
Action 10 Curb Rise
In Scalp Ringworm

Scalp ringworm has increased
recently among District school
children, and Health Department
officials are planning steps to
combat it.
Officials disclosed yesterday
that the department has treated
1913 cases of the scalp disease
since last July. DR.. Arthur Cliff,
acting director of the School
Medical Inspection Service, re-
ported 124 new cases came to the
departments attention last
month"; 80 per cent increase
over a year ago.
II wouldn't say it's alarming,
but it is heavier than in some
years." DR.. Cliff said.
Not An Epidemic.
DR.. Frederick Heath, deputy
health director. said the ring
worm has not reached epidemic
proportions. But he said the de-
partment is hoping to locate the
source for it and seek public CO.
operation in reducing its spread.
DR.. Cliff said the Health De-
partment's clinic at the Munich
pal Center is now treating about
400 ringworm cases monthly.
Many of these are old cases,
however. since each usually re-
quires at least several months of
treatment.
Children up to IA or is are
most susceptible to the con-
tagion. and most of the cases
are boys. DR.. Cliff said the i'm
plementS used in barber shops
are believed to be one source for
the ringworm's spreading.
Sterilization Required.
Under Health Department reg
ulations, BARRIERS are not sup
posed to cut the hair of children
suspected of having the disease.
They are also supposed to steri-
lie clippers and other imple-
mentS.
The ringworm problem came
to Board of Education attention
on Thursday, when a parent
complained that there were many
cases at the Park View Elemen-
tary School. DR.. Heath reported
yesterday that Park View has
about $50 cases out Of an enroll
ment Of 1869.

Merchants
Rap Traffic
Reform Plan
Coll Some Proposals
impractical Hit
Speed Of Survey

The Washington Merchants
& Manufacturers Association
has assailed many of the traffic
reforms recommended by Leslie
Williams as being Impractical"
and neither necessary nor desir-
able Ito Immediately put into
effect"
The merchants stand was
made clear in a letter to Chair
man Payne Of the Senate Dis
trict subcommittee studying
transit problems.
Criticize Speed.
The letter specifically criti-
cized the Williams report as
being drawn up in only 80 days.
and urged that extensive study
be given the proposals before
they are put into effect.
Mr.. Williams, a consultant,
was retained by the Public Util-
tiles Commission to study transit
problems. He made 10 recon-,
mendations, each of which were
evaluated in reports submitted
this week by the District Com
misSioners. the Public Utilities
Commission and the Capital
Transit Co.
E. A. Pritchard, executive vice
president of the merchants as
ISOLATION, commended the Conn
missionerS for disagreeing with
some of the proposals and de-
ferring action on others.
IF the day comes when it will
be necessary that there be no
parking. standing or stopping
downtown for private automo-
biles, we believe that the District
Commissioners will be able to.
produce traffic counts and statis-
tics which will justify such
a plan" MIR. Pritchard wrote.
I'VE do not believe that the
public can be convinced on the
basis of an overall 30-day survey
of the entire transit and traffic
situation that such drastic rec
concentrations should be accept
ed now"
Cites Values as Tax Source.
His letter noted that the
downtown Washington business
district. making up only IL per
cent of the District area, pays
Is per cent of the city's total
real estate taxes. He warned
that any new traffic plan needs
due circumspection so as not
to decrease the Is per cent of
the taxes the downtown area
pays"
Commenting specifically on
proposals to ban downtown
parking and restrict trucks from
the area, Mr.. Pritchard said
some of the recommendations
'.are so far-reaching it would
not be wise to put them into eff
feet until a careful analysis is
made of the effect of these
changes on downtown business.
Through the years, he said, the
merchants always have been
consulted on such proposed
changes. The result, he said, is
that they have been able to
work with District officials as
cooperating team which has
been trying to solve a mutual
problem"

men and their families.
What was said during his APP
pearance last January 10 before
Police Chief Robert v. Murray
was disclosed yesterday during a

istrative charges against him.
II did feel I was justified in
using that surplus to entertain
other members of the depart
ment to help lift their morale, p"
he told the chief.

using money left over after about
ITO Christmas baskets were

Christmas Eve, 1850, party at
the American Legion Hall, Wis
consin and Prospect avenues
NV.
The money was collected from
Georgetown businessmen. while
Inspector Beach was in COM
mand of the 7th precinct. Sew
eral businessmen testified yes
terday concerning the amounts
they donated. Those who APP
peared said they had given In
Spector Beach no authorization
to use the surplus for a party.
According to transcript of
what was said at the January
10 meeting with the police chief,
Inspector Beach said the party
was one Of several innovations"
he instituted to improve morale
Of the men.
Reputation Benefited.
AS a result Of such things, he
said, Il enjoyed the reputation
of being one of the most like
able officers in the department. "
Chief Murray testified yester-
day on technical details in con-
nection with the questioning of
Inspector Beach on December IL.

Attorney Charles E. Ford told
the board yesterday he has

couples in Montgomery County
and thousands more in nearby
Virginia decide whether their
own children should participate.
Each must decide individually.
| Sometime between now and
March 26. every Montgomery
parent probably will get chance
to attend a meeting of a local
parent-teacher association. A
doctor is expected to be on hand
to help answer your questions.
Details of the Virginia plan
have not been completed.
Each child In the first three
grades Of 101 schools in Mont
gomery in a week or SO will get
an envelope to take home to his
parents.
Purposes Explained.
Inside will be a letter from
Basil O'Connor. head of the Ma
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis. explaining the nation
wide test and its purposes. There
also will be a pamphlet designed
to answer many of your questions
and the request form.
The form explains the test
procedure and then provides:
"I hereby request that my
child be permitted to participate
in the procedures described
above without cost to me-"
If you want your child to par
ticipate you must sign the form
and return it to the school q
few days before NEGOTIATIONS be-
gin there.
The request form covers not
only the administering of three
shots but also the taking of two
blood samples.
Only 600 children in 10 I'M
announced schools. however, will
have blood samples taken.
The first samples will be taken
the week of March 10. Another
will be taken after mid-May to
determine if the antibody levels
in the children have gone up.
The antibodies are believed to
fight off a polio attack.
Tests Begin March 20.
| On March 20 the Rockville
Elementary School will get its
first shots to test the effective
ness Of plans laid out by the
County Health Department un-
der DR.. v. L. Ellicott. The second
and third shots will be given
there April S and May 8.
Other schools will get their
shots as follows: first, between
April 2 and April 8; second, be-
tween April 9 and Is and third
| between May 7 and Is.
A big problem nationally is the
production and triple safety
testing Of the vaccine. Alternate
plans are being made in Mont
gomery in case the vaccine does
not arrive on schedule.
Children who miss the first
shot in their school will get no
second chance. Makeups. how
ever, will be arranged for the
second and third shots.
DR.. Ellicott hopes about 100
doctorS-one for each school
will participate in the program.
Twenty schools a day will be
scheduled for the NEGOTIATIONS.
At least a thousand volunteer
aides will participate in the trial
vaccine tests.
BY careful organization the
county hopes to do $50 shots a
team in a five-hour period. Two
teams may have to operate 81
simultaneously in the larger
schools.

In the singles, Moylan never

threat came in the second set.
The rest of the time Moylan was
hitting so sharply Brown was un-
able to get set.
It didn't seem to matter what
strategy Moylan used. When he
stayed at the baseiine, he was
too steady for Brown. When he
chose to come to the net. he had
little trouble angling of Browns

Other times he would bring
Brown into the net with deli

then pass him. But most of the

ponent.
In the doubles. Moylan again
was the dominating player. His
