ance. DR.. Seckinger suggested
to them that the additional
program would cost some $780,
600.
Feeling the local chapter
had done quite enough for the
District, a committee from
that body complained to Com
missioner Camalier only to
learn that he knew nothing Of
DR.. Seckinger'S request.
At that point. Mr.. Camalier
told DR.. Seckinger to find the
money in his own department
tai budget or put in for a sup
Elemental appropriation. Al
most Immediately, he got back
a request for a $4,000 sup
Elemental to expand the pro-
gram this year not only to in
digent preschool children but
to go per cent of all school
children.
Also, he asked 1854, 900 to
cover the cost of the ultimate
third shots and to expand the
program to take in all chill
dren and pregnant women
who had not been vaccinated
privately.
There, with no policy deci-
sion yet made on how far the
District should go-except as
implied by rapidly increasing
Health Department requests
was where the situation
stood when concern over the
vaccine from Cutter Labora-
tories Of Berkeley, Calf,
halted the program nationally.
The decision, however, can
not be postponed long. One
thing of which the Commits
sioners can be sure as the pro-
gram gets under way again Is
that DR.. Seckinger will be back.

BY GENE GOODWIN

The issue Of increasing
State aid for new county
school buildings in Maryland
is becoming a political football.
1t is being booted back and
forth between the Republican
Governor and the Democratic
Legislature and already has
been put on the controversy
agenda for the 1856 General
Assembly.
The 1858 Legislature, during
its session last winter, was un-
der great pressure from local
school groups to increase dis
tribution of State school aid
to counties, some of which are
genuinely hard pressed to
keep up with booming enroll
mentS.
The legislators put of do
ing anything, however, until
they had heard from the
Green Commission on Educa-
tion and Finance, which had
been studying the issue for
some months. The commits
sion, headed by DR.. Harry j.
Green, Baltimore attorney, had
gained the respect of all in
volved three years ago with a
report which led to higher
teacher salaries and more sat-
isfactory State aid formulas.
But this time. Harry Green's
commission came up with
something less than the hoped
for panacea. The report, de-
livered to the lawmakers in
the last month of the 1855
session, recommended an un-
specified increase in so-called
incentive fund aid for county
school construction, but only If
real property assessments were
equalized as between one
county and another so that the
increased aid would be fairly
distributed.
Distribution of incentive
fund money is based on two
factors-the number Of pupils
and the wealth of the county
as determined by the total
value the assessors put on its
taxable property. If a county
assesses it's property lower
than other counties, it appears
to be poorer and therefore
qualities for more incentive
fund and other State aid
monies. Incentive fund monies
are now distributed at the rate
of $40 per pupil, minus what
ever the county collects on
local real estate tax of S cents
per $100 of assessed valuation.
Obviously disappointed in
the Green Commissions con-
centration on unequal property
assessments and its failure to
lay down a one-two- three plan
for increasing school construc-

Russians Slaughter Off Boring Sea Walrus Herds.

FAIRBANKS, tR - The Rus sians are putting the rush on the walrus in the Boring Sea and St. Lawrence Island Eskimos have had to turn to whales to save themselves from starvation.
 This was reported by the Rev. Elmer E. Parker who has return ed here after five months at a Presbyterian mission on the re- mote island 35 miles from Rus sian Siberia.
 The Rev. Parker said the Es- kimo villagers reported the Rus sians are engaging in large scale slaughter of walrus for food and other unexplained purposes.
 As a consequence the EskimoS no longer hunt walrus for food as was their ancient custom. The missionary said he was shocked at the resulting poor economic condition of island natives.
 He added, however, lice was coming in when I left last week and they were getting a few Walrus." c
 He said the Eskimos had saved themselves from starvation this summer by consuming a small number of whales brought in by native hunters last spring.
 They have refrained from hunt ing a shrinking herd of reindeer introduced to the island by Pres byterian missionaries a half cen tury ago.
