BALTIMORE. Aug. 2 R.--
Maryland. and Baltimore City
health authorities have recon-
mended to the United States
Public Health Service that all
the 1882 shots of Salk polio
vaccine recently allotted to the
State be channeled to private
patients.
The health service had asked
each State to wire the percent
age Of its allotment it wished
reserved for purchase by public
agencies.
DR.. Robert Riley, head Of the
State Health Department, con-
ferred With DR.. Huntington Will
liams. head Of Baltimore's health
department and sent this reply:
Since public agencies in
Maryland have postponed fur
ther inoculations until fall, and
since the present allotment to
Maryland Is relatively small, the
State Health Department rec
ommends that 100 per cent OF
the 1882 cubic centimeters now
allocated be made available tc
commercial sources for sale tc
druggists and physicians"
Under present plans. drug
stores would sell the vaccine
only upon prescription of a pri.

group-children aged five to
nine. The State Health De-

Fairfax County Health De-
partment officials today were
working out a schedule for adj
ministering Salk vaccine booster
shots after authorization yester-
day to give second injections in

DR.. Harold Kennedy, county
health officer, said he hopes the
program can begin early next
week. He said the county ex-
poets to receive enough vaccine
for 10000 shots within a few
days from the National Foun-
dalton for Infantile Paralysis.
Permission to give the second
shots was granted by the State
Health Department after mem
bers of the Fairfax County Med
ical Society voted two to one
in favor Of administering the
vaccine this summer. In a tele-
gram sent yesterday to DR.. Rob-
ert C. Hunt, president Of the
society, the State Health De-
partment said it bowed to the
sentiment Of the society although
the State agency decided two
months ago not to continue the
Salk program this summer.

The vaccine will be given to
$4,000 Fairfax children in the
first. second and third grades
who received the first Salk shots
this spring and to 1000 children
who were given shots in 1854.
Fairfax County will be the first

Latham Attacks

$4,000 Job Misuse
OF Public Funds.

STEVENSVnLE. Md. Aug. 2
tR.-Delegate James C. Lath-
am, Democrat. Of Talbot has
added more wood to the fire
that has been burning briskly
under the State Roads Commits
sion for some time now.
MIR. Latham, q former State
trooper, charged yesterday that
State construction Of a $780, 900
service road from the eastern
approaches of the Chesapeake
Bay Bridge to a Kent Island
shopping center is a piece Of
manipulation and misuse OF
public funds"
The Eastern Shore Delegate,
who had indicated previously he
was lukewarm about the idea OF
investigating the roads commits
sion, said he now believes there
should be such a probe.
Wants Legislative Group
''It should not be q study by
the Commission on State Pro.
grams, Organizations and Fi-
nance Green Commission ap-
pointed by the Goyeerivr," Mr..
Latham said, but a legislative
group with power to subpoena
and the necessary funds to ham
die the Investigation"
The shopping center to be
serviced by the road was de-
Iveloped by a corporation headed
by David M. Nichols, a former
member OF the roads commits
sion.
Herschel H Allen, head Of the
engineering firm which served al
consultant on the bridge con-
struction. recommended the
service road be built to remove
what he called q traffic hazard.
But Mr.. Latham said: This
shopping center is Ia miles east
of the Bay Bridge. It is incon-
lceivable that any traffic hazard
could affect the bridge or should
be paid for from the bridge reve-
nues."
News Articles Recalled
Gov. McKeldin requested the

Recreation in Prince Georges
County communities operates on
a do-it-yourself principle.
Although the program is CO.
ordinated by q recreation board
financed by the county. the
localities themselves must take
full responsibility for initiating
and operating their play activi-
ties.
The County, through the Rec
reation Board, provides the pro-
fessional leadership to insure a
successful program provided local
interest and help comes from
parents Of the community.
Recreation officials believe this
approach makes for better pro-
gram stability. provides better
care of equipment that the 10
calities must purchase, creates
greater dexibility to meet a
variation Of community needs
and, Of course. reduces the drain
on county Golfers.
County Began In 1850
Prince Georges entered the
recreation field In 1850 with
programs In IA towns. This year
so communities have programs
co-ordinated by the board. Five
had to be turned down because
OF the lack of trained leaders.
The county's appropriation fol
recreation has taken jumps Of
$40, 1000 during the past three
years. Some 500, 900 Is being spent
this year. About 80 per cent Of this
is paid in salaries for 142 play
ground leaders and the boards
staff Of three full-time recreation
officials including director and
two assistants.
Last year the communities
spent approximately $500 for
playground supplies and equip
ment.
Communities Assume Expenses,
All operating expenses other
than salaries must be assumed
by the communities. These in
clude such things as craft sup
plies. transportation and what
ever fees might be required for
special events such as swimming
parties and dramatic produc-
tons.
The local programs are spon-
sored at the insistance of the
board by well-organized groups
such as q parent-teachers' as

churches or civic clubs.
