accidents. Of the IA PEDESTRIANS
who have lost their lives so far
this year. 10 were over 40 and
four were over rs.
Five of the IA pedestrians were
crossing the street from between

violating regulations. In three
cases the motorist was speeding
and in four cases the motorist
was accused of failing TO yield
the right-of-way when the Pc

In addition to the ii pedes-

More Accidents Reported
There have been tremendou;
increases in the number of traf-
fic accidents reported. In Janu-
airy there were 1868, up "a pei
cent from the 1,343 Of January
1855. In February the total was
l.548, a Is per cent increase over
the 1,343 Of February of last
year. The March totals are not
yet available. 1t is believed they
may show little increase because
! of additional policing during the
periods of heavy traffic which
started in February.
Traffic Director George E
Keneipp gave these three rea-
sons for the increases in acci.

The speaker, looking up at
Houston's likeness in Statuary
Hall, was a tall Texan.
His voice rose above the
chatter and scrape of loafers
and toeplates on the stone
floor. 1t reflected the feeling
that in the Capitol there is
something for everybody, from
the Panhandle or Maine, or
points between.
The Staid legislative halls
have begun to reSound with
the noise of the pilgrims who
come each spring to see the
Capitol because it's theirs. The
halls have become an obstacle
course for anyone on official
business.
Groups of youngsters, con-
fident in their numbers, vir-
tually skip through the corri-
doris. At the other extreme are
those who come in pairs, older
tourists mostly. They walk
quietly, almost timidly.
A pair of the latter type
stood in front of George
Washington's statue in the
rotunda.

said, although she was already
looking. George Washington. "

INERTIA Lack Of
Coordination

Inertia" and lnSuthclent CO.
ordination among agencies Of
the District Public Health De-
partment were blamed today for
the lack of an effective tubercu-
losis outpatient control program
here.
Dr.. Donald r. Sickler, chief of
the departments tuberculosis
control division, told the Metro
politan Washington tuberculo-
sis conference the lack of CO.
ordination has practically halt.
ed" the Districts followup pro-
gram for TB patients who leave
the hospital.
DR.. Sickler, speaking at the
meeting at the Department Of
Health, Education and Welfare,
declared that lin the District
modern and efficient machinery
for control has been in existence
for over nine months but
because Of inertia this control
itself is not in existence"
Another speaker, DR.. Howard
Payne, professor of medicine at
Howard University. agreed that
the control program suffers from
lack of coordination among
services Of the Health Depart
ment. He said the Health De-
partment is handicapped by "a
very rigid administrative struc-
ture."
166 Patients Lost"
The physician declared that
of total of $50 discharged pa
tients from District hospitals,
35.4 per cent were Irregular
that is, discharged for disciple
nary reasons or for Just walking
out.
/ DR.. Sickler said that meant
l66 persons still with tuberculo-
/ sis were lost or under no SUI
pervision at all. This is the
most severe indictment I can
give to control in this commu-
nifty"
/ DR.. Sickler declared that more
and more. medicine must turn
its attention toward outpatient
treatment in the field of tuber-
culosis and that to do this sit
needs the help of the sncillary
services" of the hospitals and
the health department. He re-
ferred to such District agencies
as social service, vocational re-
Mobilization service and the pub
lie assistance division.
He asserted that two years
ago there were HOO TB patients
at Glenn Dale Hospital, Freed
, mems and the former Upshur
. Street Hospital. Today, he
added, there are less than 700.
with empty beds available,
whereas two years ago there
were $50 sick persons on the
waiting list.
Budget Cut 100000
Dr.. Sickler said that recently
a House committee cut $500, 900
from the Glenn Dale budget be-
cause of so many empty beds.
He emphasized that this sit
uation now permits medicine to
turn its attention more directly
to persons with TB who are not
hospitalized either because Of
faulty detection or because Of
irregular discharges.
Supervision and folloW-up
work has become increasingly
important after the discharge OF
a patient from a tuberculosis
) hospital Dr. Sickler asserted.
What happens to the patient
who is discharged for one reason
or the other depends upon con-
troll. If control has integrity,
everything will be fine" Or.
Sickler declared. But if not,
Heaven help the patient"

Friendship Gets
CAB Setback
Examiner Denies
Pun-Am Request

Baltimore's Friendship Airport,
regarded in some quarters as
the biggest barrier to a new
Washington airport at Burke,
Va, has suffered a setback in
its hopes of becoming a regional
air hub.
A sweeping decision on the
East Coasts rich air travel mar
ket by a Civil Aeronautics Board
examiner yesterday recommended
that Pan American World Air
ways be denied the right to use
Friendship as its Washington
Baltimore terminal from Bos-
ton.
Aviation experts were predict
ing that if the Pan American
application was approved, it
would cause other airlines to di-
vert some Of their long haul
Washington flights to the Balti-
more airport.
Examiner Thomas L. Wrenn's
recommendations, including a
new seaboard route for Delta
Airlines, go to the CAB for &C.
ton. There is a 15-day limit
/ for filing Of exceptions to the
Wrenn report and such action
is almost standard procedure.
Pan American announced to-
day that it would follow that
procedure, which means that
final action from the CAB can
hardly be expected before fall
Boost to Burke Site
The decision on use of Friend
ship may well provide more i'm
petus favoring the Burke tVao
site Of Washington's second air
port when the Senate Commerce
Committee meets next Wednes-
day to act on the airport prob
lem.
/ Action on the Monroney sub
committee report has been de-
layed twice, once at the request
of Senator Butler. Republican
Of Maryland, leader of the Con-
gressional bloc against Burke,
and again because of the lack
of a quorum.
/ The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Monroney. Democrat OF
oklahoma. not only unanimous
ly favored the Burke site. but
urged immediate "crash pro-
gram" construction of the prof.
ect.
Funds Battle Seen
! Approval of Burke is expected
from the full Commerce Com
mittee-action that undoubted-
ly would precipitate a rousing
battle for appropriation of 60
ahead funds.
Examiner Wrenn's recon-
mendations would bring a large
scale revamping Of East Coast
air routes. 1t opens up a new
route for Delta. but excludes
Northeast Airlines OF Boston
and several others from the Ma
ton S most lucrative air routes
A few months ago the CAH
granted Delta route from At
lanta to Washington and New
York. Delta also serves Miami
from Atlanta.
Mr.. Wrenn proposed for Delta

MIGRATING GEESE MARKED WITH DYE

When Sara Miller, Il of Teller, Alaska, claimed she saw a pink goose last week her father, Al bent Miller, relayed the informa- ton to the Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit at the University of Alaska.
 Dr. John Buckley, head of the unit, didn't greet the report with skepticism. He was glad to hear it. He said that U. s. Fish and Wildiife Service personnel CO., operated with the California de- pertinent of fish and game to provide a means of tracing geese on their northward migration to breeding grounds. They dyed Lesser sneW geese pink, later mi grating snow geese green, and Ross geese yellow.
 Miss Miller's pink goose was the second one reported in the territory. Dr. Buckley said that he would like to near about others.

ss-" Area Getting Good Baseball Diamond

A good-sized ball park is be- ing created in that area across from the old hospital, and from the Central school playground. The park is the result of a group of young people in Palmer who were seeking an area where a ball diamond could be built. Through the cooperation of the School District and the City of Palmer, the ground is being readied.
 The youths donated time and labor in building a backstop to specifications. The City donated grader and dozer work and the school district gave the ground and will spend about $200 for carry all work to complete the ground work. The area is now level and free of weeds and brush and will be open to the public for use, at no charge.
 The skating rink area is still there and this fall boards will be returned and banked for easy flooding.

The var led garden will contain such fav- orites as snap dragons, mari golds, stock. petunias and others, as we'll as pansy plants. Mrs. Mike Ulrich, while convalescing at the hospital, last week set out several pansy plants and earlier this week Colin Mick donated his time to prepare the flower beds.
