Such vellum sheets are not
rare, he said. Many came to the
United States through dealers

A 3-month-old Arlington kit
ten named Sooty has carved a
small niche in the field Of butter
fly science today.
Sooty almost devoured her find
before it was discovered Wednes-
day that she had caught a
banded Monarch butterfly from
Toronto, Canada.
/ Lepidopterists, students of
butterflies and moths, band the
butterflies to see where they go
when they leave home. but it is
rare to find them.

that Sooty's catch was only the
third he had heard about. The

respond only if they interest
him, the couple explained. Hence
it is worthless to attempt
to test children with unfamiliar,
uninteresting noiSemakers, they
declared.
Early Detection Urged
If little children are hard-of-
hearing, it should be learned as
soon as poSsible-to treat the
defect, if possible, and to train
the parent, in all cases.
The range in hearing was
sharply shown by contrasting
normal with defective hearing.
One 2-year-old boy alertly pyra-
mided his box of blocks but could
not hear his name shouted into
his ears. A second heard his
whispered several feet away. But
he ignored an 'uninteresting"
clap of wooden objects and a
knock on the door.
"A deaf child can't have that
rich security of having only to
hear certain sounds to know
someone is close. 1t is a depri-
walton that begins in those first
months of life" declared DR..
Irene Ewing, who wears a hear
ing aid.
Babies no longer respond to
every sound after seven months,
DR.. Irene Ewing said. Children
are learning to disregard sounds
with every month"

Everybody is almost falling all

we walk.
DR.. Charles Turchin made
these observations today at the
18th annual scientific convention

Hotel Statler.
DR.. Turchin said walking is
merely a series of interrupted

Jones Point
Clearance Left

BY GEORGE BEvERIDGE

Federal planners yesterday APP
proved the precise route of the
Jones Point bridge.
without taking position on the
issue of the bridges navigational
clearance.
National Capital Planning
Commission approval of route
plans and traffic connections,
submitted by the Federal Blu
reau of Public Roads, cleared one
more hurdle for the Alexandria
span over the Potomac.
But the bridges crucial prob
lem-the lack Of decision about
its navigational clearance, still is
to be solved.
Congress, authorizing the
bridges construction at Federal
expense, said the spans piers
should have a horizontal clear
ance of about $50 feet. A num-
beI of protests about adequacy
of this clearance has brought a
re-study of the entire question
by the United States District
Engineer.

John Nolen, jr., planning COM
mission director, said ne felt the
city of Alexandria S interest in
future development of its harbor
might warrant further study Of
the clearance issue by the COM
mission. But the commission de-
.cided to approve the bridge
route, with the understanding
that the clearance problem will
be resolved by appropriate Fed
Ieral agencies,
Meanwhile, Public Roads Com
missioner C. D. Curtiss disclosed
he has called a meeting Tues
day to try to settle responsibility
for maintenance of the new
bridge. Congress said Maryland
and Virginia should work out
the maintenance cost problem,
but the two States want the
District to share in the cost.
Mr.. Curtiss said he has invited
j. N. Robertson. District high
way director; Robert Bonnell,
Maryland Roads Commissioner,
Highway Department chairman,
and James Anderson, Virginia
Highway Department chairman,
to attend.
Action Area B
In another action, the PLAN
ners approved a site plan Show
ing private buildings proposed
in the 80-acre Area B southwest

relates mainly to a two block
area-between Third, Fourth, G
and l streets S.W.-which will
be the first to be rebuilt.
Private redevelopers hope to
begin construction of the first
large block by early next year.
1t is to include 482 housing units
400 Of them in an eight-story
apartment house and the rest
in two and three bedroom row
houses.
The planners also disclosed
that studies are under way for
the possible expansion of the
length of Fort Lesley j. McNair
one block eastward to Second
street Sc. The fort now extends
from P street TO Greenleaf
Point, between the Washington
Channel and Canal street. The
possible expansion area is be-
tween Canal and Second streets.

said, has initiated steps to OBJ
