Personal Finance
Co Changes Name

George o. Ashmore, manager of
Personal Finance Company an
nounced that the company has
changed its name to Beneficial FL
nance Co. with offices located at
9 S. Main ST, London, Ohio.
1T is with some regret" said
Mr. Ashmore, that we honorably
retire a name that has been so
well known in this community for
over six and one-half years. How
ever, our new name, which is the
name of our parent corporation,
more fully describes the many SER
vices we offer in addition to max
ing personal loans"
Mr.. Ashmore then explained that
the change in name will in no way
effect the present personnel of the
office, one of more than $50 af-
filiated offices in the u. s. and
Canada that bear the Beneficial
Loan System symbol.

BY Ruby Griffin Conlin

Recently as l was riding or
the train from CHARLOTTE TC
ATLANTA, somewhere along
the way. as l was looking out o
my window, l saw an old store
chimney standing tall that mark
ed the place where house once
existed. 1t was a very old chin
ney built of native rocks. l coulc
see the old fireplace.
Perhaps my sad mood could be
attributed to the fact that l haC
just spent a pleasant visit with
my elderly mother. l realized il
would be several months before
l could see her again. l was or
my way back HOME IN lNDl-
ANA" What ever the cause Of
my rather nostalgia mood thai
chimney gave me a feeling OF
something deep, down deep in
side. l lived for a few moment:
in state of imagination, a state
of dreams.
l could see an old fashioned
log house standing there on the
deserted lot. | could see snow
on the ground, lighted windows
a brilliant Christmas tree neal
the hearth, a big cheerful, warm
log fire in the fireplace, chill
dren playing with tops as they
Sprawled on the floor near the
hearth. There was cheer, bright
ness, laughter, the spirit of hap
piness inside the comfortable but
simple old house.
My dream changed. I could
see a lonely old man sitting on
one side OF the fireplace, and a
lonely old lady sitting on the
other side of the log fire. The
old man was smoking a corn cob
pipe and the old lady was either
looking at pictures in an old
leather photograph album or
reading from we'll worn
BIBLE.
They were very happy but
lonely. The children, who once
played on the floor with toys.
were scattered in different parts
of the world. Letters, gifts, short
visits and photographs of their
children and grandchildren were
all the dear old couple had to
cheer them.
Yes, the old stone chimney
was the reminder OF a house, a
marker of a hallowed place
called HOME SWEET HOME"

the committee believe the an
Swer would be standby controls
giving the President power to act
quickly if the need arises.
In answer to a question as to
whether the vaccine may be
termed absolutely safe" DR..
Scheele said:
I'VE believe the vaccine is as
safe as feasible methods in test
ing can make it. 1t is our belief
the test is adequate to assure it
will be safe to man"
Team Goes to indianapolis
DR.. Scheele said the testing of
laboratories has been concluded
at Parke Davis. The testing team
will move now to the Eli Lilly Co.
plant in indianapolis. which has
been supplying the program for
Virginia school children. Next
on the list will be the Wyeth
Laboratories in Marietta, Pa.
which furnished supplies for first
and second grade children in the
District and Maryland.
The witness explained the long
delay in findings of whether or
not the Cutter vaccine failed
to meet specifications. He said
the study was continuing and

WitA a large volume of data.
Some II independent labora-
tories have been invited to as
sist the Government in the Cut
ter tests. Some are taking blind
samples to test, he said.
Going into the background of
the safety measures taken be-
fore the mass vaccinations be-
gan, DR.. Scheele said all the
vaccines used in last years field
trials were triple-tested.
This included three produc-
ton lots from the Cutter Labora-
tories which, however, were not
used in the field trials. The
Cutter products passed the test.
AS a result of the success of
these tests, scientists at NH de-
cided to eliminate triple-testing
of each batch to make the vac
cine available for children before
this polio season. DR.. Scheele
said.
I'VE were faced with the prob
lem Of production of a vaccine
for mass and widespread use, a
vaccine that will be used for
millions of children" DR.. Scheele
said. Some production prob
lens involved could not be FORE
seen before the mass program
began.

sible safeguard in large-scale

counting Office on deficiencies in
District real estate assessments,
and noted that James L. Mar
tin, District finance officer in
charge of assessing. had offered
no disagreement with the charge
that some property assessments
are out of date.
Mr.. Martin. asking for three
more assessors, has said he
could reassess the more critical
areas" in four or five years. and
complete the job in 10 years.
The subcommittee said that in
areas around the District, Mary
land has a three-year cycle on
reassessments and will go on an
annual basis July /; that Vir-
ginia has a four-year cycle. It
noted also that Samuel Spencer,
president of the Board of Com
missionerS. agrees that a 10-year
cycle here was inadequate"
The subcommittee concluded:
Such a lackadaiSical attitude
on the part of District officials
to fully develop this and other
sources of revenue available to
the District indicated to the
committee that until such time
as the District has fully tapped
present sources of revenue re-
duction in the Federal payment
should be made"
Sc Spending Trim
The proposed $8.8 million cut
in the spending budget amounts
to more than per cent off the
proposed outlay of SITS million.
Heavy as this would be, some
veteran observers recall that
back in the days when Repre-
sentative Tom Blanton, Demo-
crat, of Texas. headed the Dis
trict subcommittee on appropria-
tons, he made a proposal for a
10 per cent cut in city spending
in 1887, to be accompanied, OF
course, by a slash in the Federal
share. In those days, the total
budget was less than $40 million.
So, the newly proposed budget
cut, percentage wise, still would
be a heavy blow.
Budget proposals for civil de-
Tense in the District were cut by
the committee by more than
half. The District had asked
S154,5O0 for the new fiscal year,
and the committee recommend
ed only $4,000. The report said:
The committee is of the opin-
ion that the District civil de-
Tense program is in state of
indecision and is reluctant to
recommend any appropriation.
The amount approved is ade-
quate for a basic program and

dren three up from yesterdays

Cutter vaccine. 10 that of Eli
Lilly Laboratories and 2 of Wy
eth Laboratories. Twenty-four
of the cases were in California.
There have been five deaths
among inoculated children.
Approximately $4,000 children
received the Cutter vaccine. Ex-
cept for the cases involving that
laboratory's product, the Incl
dence of polio among vaccinated
children has been about what
could normally be expected, the
health officer added.
He repeated the figures of the
Francis report on the field trials
of last year declaring the vac
cine to be 60 to 80 per cent eff
fective against paralytic polio
and less effective against Type l,
the most prevalent type.
Opposes Federal Controls
In answer to questions, DR..
Scheele said he felt there was no
way Congress could speed pro-
duction of vaccine through leg
islation.
He spoke against the use of
Federal controls to handle the
entire program from laboratory
to physician. The committee is
considering legislation which
would set up priorities for dis
tribution to age groups, price

Urges Market Cl0Sings
The Rabaut subcommittee
concluded that the Eastern and
Western Municipal Markets
were becoming economic labili-
ties" and should be closed. 1t
therefore denied funds requested
for repairs to the two markets
and suggested to District Off
Gals that they give serious con-
sideration to the sale of the two
properties or to their use for
other city purposes.
The police department Jared
pretty well in its budget requests,
being granted $12.7 million. a re-
duction Of only $4,000 from
funds requested.
The subcommittee suggested
that the police department try
the use of one-man patrol cars
in some areas of the District in
stead of having them manned by
two officers.

program but a quick study of the
reported bill indicated that the
proposed savings mostly con-
Stituted postponements of capital
outlay items rather than their
rejection.
Slows Works Program
The report indicated that the
committee would cut the city i'm
provement program from S40.4
million to S343 million, which
would slow up the public works
program authorized about a year
ago.
Cuts also were distributed
rather generally through the
many departments. For opera
ton and maintenance, the COM
mittee proposed $1.8 million
above the level for the present
year. The total there would be
SIG million below what the city
asked.
The subcommittee criticized
District officials for changing
their estimates on the city'S rev.
enue in the coming year. The
Rabaut group noted that a deficit
of S860,489 in the general fund
was predicted last January when
the budget was sent to Capitol
Hill.
This estimate, the subcommit-
tee noted, was revised April II,
three days prior to the House
hearings, to show a surplus in
the general fund of $268,672.
Cite Lack of Reserves
Sound fiscal management
provides for the establishment
of budget reserves. the commit
tee said, but that the Commits
sioners while asking Congress to
approve a spending program
$4.6 million above this year did
not include the customary re-
serve of 81 million to cover eX-
pected supplemental needs.
Such fiscal irresponsibility
leaves the committee with but
one alternative and that is to
reduce the budget. 1t has, ac-
cordingly, made reductions in
the budget increases requested
and believes that services neces-
sary for the efficient function
ing of the District government
will not be affected"
The report shows that under
the committee proposal Federal
payments to the District would
total S17,892,7O0. This sum.
however, includes more than
$l.8 million as payments to the
District for metered water and
sewer services for Federal build
ings in the District. The general
fund Federal payment would be
SIC million instead of $40 million
as authorized IN the Public
Works Act.
The Rabaut subcommittee de-
Tended its proposals in these
words: The committee, in re-
ducing the Federal payment to
the general fund by 81 million is
we'll aware of the Juror that will
enSue.
However. after considerable
discussion in the hearings on
the financial crisis of the Dis
trict. the committee feels that
such action is justified since the
local officials, who are aware
of the situation, are not doing
everything within their power
to alleviate the situation"
The committee then went into
a discussion of the January 20
report fro mthe General Ac-
