President Asks
Relationships

President Eisenhower today
backed a new Red Cross appeal
for more generous contributions
to help it meet new crises caused
by recent tornadoes from Mis-
slssippi to Michigan.
At the Presidents direction
the White House made public a
telegram to him from American
Red Cross Chairman E. Roland
Hartman reporting that the
Red Cross has modified its full
resources to meet the needs of
1900 families affected by the
tornadoes.
With the Red Cross now shell
tering, feeding and providing
blood for homeless and injured.
MI. Hartman estimated 300
families will apply for financial
help.
He pointed out that recent
floods in the East and West had
lust about wiped out Red Cross
disaster relief funds.
Mr.. Hartman noted that the
current fund raising campaign
was designed to restore its ability
TO help in emergencies. He said
the response has been generous
but not sufficiently so as yet"
Press Secretary James c.
Hagerty said Mr.. Eisenhower had
asked him to say that "he is con-
fident that the American people
as always will respond generously
to this appeal' of the American
Red Cross"

Nevertheless there was no

A sticky issue confronted Chief
Justice Warren today. He may
decide to keep hands of the case
rather than disturb the sweet
ness of his Supreme Court col
leagues.
He has been asked by Repre-
sentative Oliver P. Bolton. Re-
publican of Ohio, to decide
whether Ohio or New York pro-
duces the best maple syrup.
Even If the Chief Justice has
a judicial taste for trying such
matters, he probably will take
judicial notice that either JUS

Harlan of New York would
almost certainly dissent from
whatever he handed down.

DR.. Sickler quoted recent COM

there were LOO tuberculosis pa

patients discharged from Glenn
Dale between January. 1854. and
September, 1855, large number
were discharged for disciplinary
reasons or refusal to stay.

number of persons with the dis

DR.. Jerome P. Pickard, re-
search director of the boards

Imittee. said some areas of the
city gained, while others lost. He
declared the growth was uneven
over the entire District. Since
1850, there have been 25.370
more units.
There has been a rapid gain
in four major areas. he said.
They are in the west part of
the District; in the northern
section on both sides of Rock
Creek Park; northeast of the
Soldiers Home and the entire
area east of the Anacostia River.
Mid City Down
The central area shows largely
a decrease in the number of
dwelling units, inasmuch as a
number have been torn down to
make way for parking lots and
office buildings, DR.. Pickard ex-
planned. The decline has been
in the old City of Washington,
and above Florida avenue and

westerly section. around George
Washington University and
around Dupont Circle, where new
apartment houses have been
built, he said.
Dr.. Pickard estimated the
number of permanent residents
may have increased between
10000 and 10000. He said larger
families are moving to the
suburbs. while smaller ones are
taking their place within the

He said that the overall Ad-

that faces the department.
Dr. Sickler declared more and
more doctors must use the help
of the "ancillary services" of

THoosING your cigarette
~ brand is more than just
a casual decision.
So we think you'll be inter-
ested in the chart shown
here. The figures, verified by
an impartial research labora-
tory, reveal this fact:
There's less nicotine by far
in The smoke OF King SdHo-
less tar, than in The
smoke OF any other filter Gig
arctic.
There's a special reason for
this. Only King Sano, of all
leading filter cigarettes,
doesn't depend on a filter tip
alone to screen out nicotine
and tar. The makers of King
Sano 60 a lot further. They
filter the tobacco, too - to
reduce nicotine and tar even
before the cigarettes are
made.
The result is a truly superb
smoke and one that tastes
every bit as good as il is.
Try King Sano for a change,
and see if you don't agree.

Mrs. Jackson died in 1923. The
children came and went from

New Destiny Shaped
The new destiny of Seven
Corners was shaped when Ar
lington boulevard-then known
as Lee boulevard-cut through
the area in the 1930s. 1t ran
right along the Foote Farm,
nicking of a few acres at the
western end. The coming of
Arlington boulevard soon turned
Seven Corners into the traffic
hub of Northern Virginia.
Development rapidly followed,
In 1913, the 1900 unit Willston
Apartment project was built
right next to the Foote property,
The Foote farm became an is
land Of rural land in the heart
of Northern Virginia's fastest
growing neighborhood.
Mrs. Virginia Foote jackson
and Frank Foote still lived on
the home place amid all the
surrounding development. Mrs
Margaret Foote jackson lived in
Washington and worked at the
Census Bureau. Forrest Foote

original home place to his sis

1912. and was declared legally
dead In 1898.

livery delay is not expected to
materially extend the completion
date of the whole project. Com
pletion is expected by the
summer of 1858.
An estimated 10000 cubic
yards of dirt will be moved before
the project is done. Arlington
boulevard must be cut a depth
Of rs feet at the center of the
intersection. The cut will be
about so feet wide and 1000 feet
long. Excavation will be carried
out in the area between the serv-
ice roads while traffic is going by.
The distance between the service
roads at the center of the inter-
section is 160 feet.

earlier this year that the popu-

increase by about $1,000 by 1860
and Arlington County by about
10000.
Trade Volume Growing
The first consideration in con-
struction of a shopping center
however, is the volume of retail
trade in an area. Studies made
in 1854 indicated retail trade in
Arlington and Fairfax Counties
exceeded $45 million. Retail
trade experts now estimate the
retail trade volume at more than
$50 million year.
