MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
NO 116.

THE UNITED NATIONS has done it again. When
that BODY sent its Secretary General Dag HammarskJold 70
the Middle East to try to lessen tension between Israel ana
the Arab states ~skepticism was expressed in many quarters,
Though the overwhelming sentiment was on his side, never
theless there were those who remained skepticaL
NOW THAT THE mission is ended, and interim re-
ports submitted, the final reports will come and the Security
Council viii no doubt be summoned to receive and act upon
the report Of the Secretary General
THIS Is A great triumph for the United Nation, ana
particularly for its ambassador of peace and good will Dag
Hammarskiold. His was a task almost insur1nountable from
it's very inception. That anyone, anywhere could get these
two feudng factions to even agree to a c~easefire is an accom-
plishment the madntude Of which is staggering.
TROUBLE almost always came in the GAIA strip
that knfe-shaped piece Of territory jutting down towards
Egypt. Patrols were constantly running into each other, vlo-
ladons Of frontier borders, with accompanying accusations
were an almost daily ritual. Blood was constantly being shed.
But the fear which gripped the world, particularly the West
en world, was the possibility that the fuse to the next world
war would be ignited right in this little area.
H~AMMARsKJOLDS task was made the greater because
Of the religious and sentimental overtones Of the situation.
Logic often fails in the face of sentiment which quick
" shuts the minds of those closest to the scene, In addition,
unreasonable demands and counterdemands kept cropping
up, as evidenced by the Jordan River irrigation project which
Israel is seeking to develop.
BUT THE victory is won, and now the world breathes
a little easier.
SECRETARY General Hammarskjold has returned with
a. c~ease-fire agreement in his pocket, and the dark, ominous
clounds of war have receded. The world will acclaim him,

Dr. Maksim, whose practice is
near the Maryland suburbs in
Southeast Washington. said he
also has talked with at least a
half-dozen doctors all over town"
who are running into the same
problem.
Dr.. Stone said one appeal she
has made is that doctors submit
name cards to show the precise
extent of the practice. She said
this would give her "a better
talking point" with Maryland Of
ficialS.
DR.. Maksim. however, urged
that some policy arrangement be
worked out first. He said doctors
couldn't be expected to spend a
lot of time preparing such lists,
only to be told later that nothing
could be worked out.
Treated in Maryland
DR.. Stone said she also had in
her office 1870 cards of District
children who have been treated
by Maryland pediatricians. She
said she did not know "how far
this might go in evening things

Both DR.. Maksim and DR..
Stone agreed that the city sup.

ington some of their own quotas
to make up for it.
The quantities of vaccine are
allotted TO the States and the
District on a strict basis, pre-
Sumably for the residents of
each jurisdiction.
But a number of Washington
doctors have patients from
Maryland and Virginia, When
these patients receive polio
shots, the supply for District
children is cut and the two
States have shown little willing
ness to dig into their own made
quate quotas to bolster District
supplies.
Calls for Agreement
DR.. Maksim said he has asked
the Health Department on re-
peated occasions to work out
some policy agreement with the
State authorities. So far, he
said. nothing has happened.
DR.. Grace Stone, chief of the
Health Departments school
health services, said she was
sympathetic" to the plight of
the Washington pediatricians.
And I am working on a plan,"
she said. Its not definite enough
now to talk about, but I'm hope
full that some ALLEGATION of Mary
land supplies can be made avail
able for Maryland patients under
the care of District doctors"
She said she thought the bulk
Of the problem, at least on the
basis Of complaints she has had,
is concerned with Maryland
rather than Virginia.
No one knows what the pre-
else proportions of the problem
really are.
Gets Shots in Washington
'- DR.. Stone, however, said that
one group of 1000 Maryland
children. registered under a group

Club has moved out Of former
quarters in the Brookland Ele-

Education that it must vacate
unless the club unit is deseg-

Club No IL, which has about

garage at the rear Of 1896 Otis
street NE. in which to store
athletic equipment for issuance
to the boys.
The Boys Club had writer
TO Melvin Sharpe. School BoarC
president, asking that the unit
be allowed to remain in the
school despite its ban on Negro
members. The board, however
refused to rescind its custer or.
der effective last Saturday.
The unit had occupied a base
ment locker and shower room
and had such facilities as ping
pong and checker tables.
Thomas G. Carney, club pres
ident, said he thought the clut
may have to build new facilities
since a survey of commercial
buildings in the area disclosed
none adaptable to the purpose
He said this would be discussed
at a future meeting of the di-
rectors. who have decided against
migrating the club unit as such
