Does Failing Hair Cause BaIdness7

Paradoxically, falling hair alone does
not cause badness. Authorities agree
that hair reaches mature length and
then falls out. New hair needs to re-
place the hair which is shed. This is
known as the normal hair cycle" Bald
ness starts when the scalp fails to re.
place hair at the same rate it sheds
hair. If you lose 80 hairs today and re-
place only 20 of them, continuation
of this deficiency is sure to lead to
badness.

What should 30. do. then if your hair
is falling, your scalp is laden with itchy
dandruff, and you think you are be-
coming bald? Should you sit idly by
hoping that by tomorrow the veil of
confusion will be lifted and science will
suddenly solve the mystery of bald
ness?
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-03-12

The mystery of badness has baffled
science throughout the ages. What really
causes badness? Is "dandruff" dan
ferrous? Do "hair roots" die? These
are typical questions to which you are
likely to find multitude of confusing,
contradictory answers.

.Groy Plan Factions
Rush Statements
AS Vote Neurs

There was q furry OF state.
ments last night. as opposine
sides rushed to get in q flnal
word before tomorrow,s vote on
the Gray amendment proposals
Here are some Of the late de-
velopments:
State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick and Delegate Harrison
Mann Of Arlington charged the
Gray plan opposition with favor
ing immediate indignation" Mr.,
Fenwick and Mr.. Mann. are for
the Gray plan.
I'm their official mail-out to
the people Of Arlington, the Save
Our Schools Committee frankly
states that continued segregation
is wrong and unwise." said the
joint statement Of the two Ar
lington legislators. 81. 1t Is now
clear that their real objection is
any delay in immediate integra-
ton in our public schools. 1t is
perfectly obvious in view Of the
SOS statement that neither this
plan Gray nor any other plan
designed to lessen the impact on
the races would meet with their
approval"

pro amendment headquarters
here, said: IF we can get out
as many as $4,000 votes in the
Fourth. we will carry the amend
ment there by q 30.000-vote
majority"
Opinion here is that another
population center-Norfolk and
the surrounding area in the
Second Districts a "toSs-up."
Next to the area near Washing
ton, Norfolk seems to have ex-
perienced the greatest amount
of campaign activity on both
sides.
Richmond Area Doubtful
The Richmond area and the
Third District also appeared to
be doubtful but with pro-amend-
ment forces claiming an edge
here.
The referendum headquarters
was discouraged over reports
coming from Roanoke City and
Roanoke County where much
public interest also has been
shown. They think. however.
they might come out with a
narrow margin of victory in the
rest Of the Sixth District.
Open concern is expressed by
pro-amendment leaders about
prospects in the Shenandoah
Valleys Seventh and the South
vests Ninth Districts. neither Of
which has stable Negro enroll
The Eighth District. which ex-
tends from Northern Virginia
down to the Piedmont area, was
expected to give the amendment
a comfortable margin of support.
A similar prospect was predicted
by the referendum center for the
First District made up of the
Eastern Shore Tidewater coun-
ties.

What Follows
Virginia Vote!

What comes next after results
of tomorrow's Gray plan refer
endum are Tailed?
Here is a synopsis Of what
seems to be in store:
Passage of the referendum
amounts to mandate from the
voters to call a Constitutional
Convention. The Forthcoming
regular session of the General
Assembly would set up the me-
chanics for holding a convention.
The number of delegates, how
they would be voted on, and the
date Of the convention would be
decided at the General Assembly
session. 1t has been assumed
generally that one convention
delegate would be picked from
each Of the 40 senatorial districts
in the State.
1t would be the function of
the convention to amend Section
141 Of the State constitution so
tuition grants may be paid stu
dents to attend private. nom
sectarian schools. That section,
as 1t now exists. bars private
school tuition payments. Most
Gray plan experts agree that the
convention would not be bound
to any specific wording Of a con-
stitutional a m e n d m emit, but
would carry out the intent of the
referendum-that is to allow tut
ton grants from public funds.
Once the amendment is
adopted by the convention, it be-
comes final. 1t does not go back
to the voters for any further
ratification.
Legislation to implement other
features of the Gray Plan would
be left to the discretion of the
General Assembly. This would
include the pupil assignment
plan, giving school boards broad
authority to put students In diff
ferent schools for various reasons
race.
Failure Of the referendum
would mean no Constitutional
Conventional least for the time
being.

even families. One prominent
appointed official in Northern
Virginia is a vigorous foe Of the
tuition grant amendment pro-
posed by the Gray Plan. His
wife is for it.
The keen line Of demarcation
lis best demonstrated by the way
the areas political leaders stand.
Opposite Ends
Alexandria's two representa-
Itives in the General Assembly
are at opposite ends of the de-
bate. State Senator Armistead
Boothe is a leader of the tuition
grant opposition. Delegate James
M. Thomson is a Gray Plan
champion. They have appeared
ION the same programs, fighting
it out before the voters who chose
both of them to represent the
Icity in the State government.
In Arlington County State
Senator Charles r. Fenwick, who
was a member Of the Gray Com
mission, has led the campaign
for a referendum vote fayoring
calling a. convention to amend
the constitution to permit the
tuition grant plan to 60 into
effect. His position has been
supported by two other members
Iof the county legislative team,
Delegates Harrison Mann and
William l.. Winston.
The lone Arlington delegate to
oppose the convention is Mrs.
Kathryn Stone, only woman
member Of the Legislature.

ing that Republican City Com

They said they were going to
vote for the Constitutional con-
Ivention.
Shift In Odds Seen
Chairmen of four committees
working for defeat of the amend
ment in Fairfax, Arlington,
Alexandria and Falls Church
issued a joint statement saying
there had been "a dramatic shift
in the odds on the crucial refer
endum-this will be no one
sided vote-too many Virginians
have walked up"
The statement was signed by
Edward d. Hincks. Ernest w.
Jennes and Warren D. Quen-

persons who have been critical
of numerous clergymen arrayed
against the amendment.
Outcome Seen In Doubt
The completely of the issues
and the lineup Of leaders or
both sides leave many seasoned
observers in doubt about the
outcome Of Mondays vote.
It finds the leadership Of the
conservative Democratic organi-
zation lined up against most Of
the clergymen and church
groups. women's clubs and school
associations.
The most positive prediction
came from Senator Boothe ct
a speaking appearance in Alex
andria. He conceded that the
proposed constitutional amend
ment probably would receive q
favorable vote in the referen-
dunn. but he urged Northern Vir-
IginianS ito register such a strong
protest vote that State officials
will not dare to do anything
worse to our schools"
At the Referendum Informa-
