F Fourth Shark Within Week
Caught in Chesapeake Buy

ANNAPOLIS, July "a (P.-An
8-foot shark was hauled from
Chesapeake Bay yesterday by
two West River fishermen. 1t
was the fourth such rare catch
in Maryland within a week.
Three others, about the same
size, were caught off Rock Hall
near the mouth of the Chester
River last week. All weighed 400
to 500 pounds.
The latest catch was reported
by Bernard T. Hallock and his
26-year-old son, Thomas. who
said it was in their stationary
net off Curtis Point, near the
mouth of West River. The Hal
locks are commercial fishermen.
Edgar H. Hollis, fish and crab
Iculturist with the Department
of Tidewater Fisheries, said to-
day he would take a look at the
IHallock catch to determine its
identity.
From a description of it. he
said it probably was a hilbert or
blue shark which strayed into
the bay. It's normal habitat is
the Middle Atlantic and it is
found as far north as Woods

DR.. Harris to Visit Korea
For Rhee Inauguration

A long friendship with Presi-
dent Syngman Rhee of Korea
soon will be renewed by DR.. and
Mrs. Frederick Brown Harris,
who will depart next week for
DR.. Rhee's Inauguration cere-
monies on August IS.
The friendship grew during
the decade the Korean patriot
spent in exile" in this country
always fighting for the deliver
ance of his country from the
japanese. DR.. Rhee was a men,
Der of the Foundry Methodist
Church congregation, which Dr.
Harris led for 80 years.
fNow retired from that post,
DR.. Harris still is Chaplain of
the Senate. Although he is going
as a personal guest of Mr.. Rhee
it is a trip that also has the
blessings of Government leaders
who feel the churchman can act
as a goodwill emissary in a spe-
cial way.
One of the first places DR.
Rhee went the day his country
was freed was to DR.. Harris
study. Their friendship has re-
manned close in the years since
DR.. and Mrs. Harris frequently
are guests at the Korean EN-
bassy. DR.. Harris often has
praised his Eastern friend in

that he would not call up the
controversial bill to give Wash

This bill had been scheduled
by the leaders of the House for
action on District Day yesterday
But Mr.. Mcmillan explained he
had found out it was going to
be highly controversial so he
dropped his plan to call up the
measure.
The chairman, a South Caro-
lima Democrat, said however
that, while there will be no more
District days on the House floor
it may be possible for him to try
to call up the bill some day be-
fore Congress adjourns.
There had been considerable
opposition to the District bill
from organized labor and some
House leaders, because it would
give workmen here a lower rate

$35 week, compared with $54

authorized in the longshoreman'S

BrOYhi|| Hears
More on Burke
Willing to Run Poll,
He Tells Delegation

A willingness to seek fuller re-
action to the Burke Airport
proposal in his district was ex-
pressed today by Representative
Broyhill, Republican of Virginia.
But I'm asking you to go
along with the delay" he told
a delegation of Northern Vir-
ginia businessmen and citizens
who made an eleventh hour APP
peal in favor of the second
Washington airport in nearby
Fairfax County.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee reportedly has de-
ferred action on President Eisen-
mowers request for $34.7 to get
Burke started.
Suggests Another Poll
Representative Broyhill said
he told the delegation, I'm
willing to send out another poll
in the hope of getting even better
returns" One taken last winter
showed more than so per cent of
the replies from registered voters
as having no objection to the
Burke location. He indicated
that more comprehensive poll
might bring answers from those
who had mo opinion" at that
time and from those who failed
to return the missionaries.
On the record opposed to
Burke, Mr.. Broyhill has said he
did not consider the result a
mandate" because the margin
in the last poll was so narrow.
He told the delegation youth
have to win over the Fairfax
County Board of Supervisors, :"
which has voted against the
project with one member voting
in favor.
Delay Opposed
The delegation opposed a de-
lay, declaring that any delay
would be in favor of the use of
Friendship" at Baltimore.
The question of interim use of
Friendship, recommended by
Commerce Secretary Weeks, is
still before the Civil Aeronautics
Board for legal Qualification and
decision.
There is still high chance that
proponents of Burke on Capitol
Hill are readying an amendment
to a second supplemental appro-
priations bill when it comes to
the Senate floor.

all. Inc symptoms are caused
by many different viruses.
And, DR.. Robert Parrot, chief
of medicine at Children's Hos
pital, declared, this fact places
a large responsibility on ply
sicians who know that the Ma
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis pays for the care of
polio victims only.
This situation not fully recog-
nized until the impact of the
Salk vaccine cut down the num-
Der of paralytic polio cases and
more attention could be paid to
the non-paralytic cases.
The group, meeting at the call
of DR.. Parrott, included rep
resentatives from the District
Health Department and most
of the health departments
in the nearby counties, as we'll as
representatives of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis.
Mystery Illness
They met with members of the
hospital medical staff, who
sought advice from the delegates
in diagnosing these mysterious
cases of illness which look like
non paralytic polio.
DR.. Parrot told the group
that, for years, illnesses in the
summer often have been called
polio with or without the dreaded
paralysis. In the last few years,
however, he added, it has become
evident that much so-called nom
paralytic polio results from large
numbers of other viruSes.
These maladies are generally
known to physicians as the asep-
tic meningitis syndrome, which
may involve any number of diff
ferent symptoms resembling
types of polio. Sometimes it is
called "aseptic meningitis, pos
sibly poliomyelitis."
In the past. it is believed
many cases of these different i'll
neSses have been dubbed polio
and received free foundation
care.
Illnesses ShOrt-Lived
In most instances, however
these illnesses are Short-lived
More and more are being recog-
nized as more and more viruseS
are being identified.
Usually, DR.. Parrott said, it is
impossible to tell whether the
illness is caused by a polio virus
or something else.
In fact, he added, if the case is
not paralytic land if you are tc
be completely objective" the
physician must concede that
from so to rs per cent of these
cases are not polio at all.
He pointed out that in some
research laboratories certain
cases of suspected polio dating
back to 1852 are still being
studied to determine the actual
nature of the disease and its
cause.
Financial Question
The physician, who recently
left the National Institutes OF
Health to become associated with
Children's Hospital. then de-
clared that all of this raises a
question which must raise its
ugly head-that is one OF
finances"

polio.
Yesterdays discussion was
largely "off the record" How
ever one representative from the
Foundation declared that, IF
physicians in their sound medical
judgment here say it is polio,
we will take it,"
Up to Hospital Stats
This shifted the burden back
to the hospital stats to make
the final decisions.
DR.. William Woodbridge of the
District Health Department de-
clared, I'VE accept the diagnosis
of Children's Hospital" Actually
however, DR.. Woodbridge, who is
in the departments Communi-
cable Disease Division, added
that it might be best if only
paralytic polio were to be dag
noSed as polio.
DR.. Parrot announced that
the National Institutes of Health
and Children's Hospital have
initiated a joint research pro-
gram in an attempt to speed up
accurate diagnoses of polio. He
emphasized, however, that the
health officers could not expect
immediate results.
At the request of some of the
health officers, DR.. Parrott prom
iSed his institution would continue
to report suspected polio cases.
But, he added, in lieu of def
mite recommendations by the
group, his medical staff would
decide in another meeting on the
problem of the actual diagnosis
of a non-paralytic case as polio.
Probably, he said, it will be
left up to the individual ply

The
Rambler
Bedtime Story
Ends Happily
BY JACK JONAS

A crisis developed recently
in an Arlington family when
the younger of two sons de-
cided he had been low man
on the totem pole long
enough.
But, like most family crises,
this one solved ITSELF,
This youngster had been
sleeping in the bottom half
of a double bunk bed while
his older brother slept in the
top. But the little man in
the lower berth began COM
planning.
He told his parent firmly
he wanted either his own
separate bed, or he wanted
to sleep in the top bunk.
At about this time, happily,
the older boy went away for
a couple Of weeks on a visit.
The first night he was gone,
the younger brother crawled
triumphantly into the top
bunk.
The sound of much turning
and tossing came from the
bedroom. Then he was heard
descending the ladder and
crawling into the bottom
bunk.
When the parents peered
in to see what was going on,
there was their son in his
accustomed place. He ex-
planned sheepishly:
II guess I like a bed with
q lid on it."
Problem
National Archives keeps a
lot Of records and is able to
help the public with many
problems involving personal
and historical records. But
one request last week
stumped them. A lady wrote:
Il am writing you con-
corning my husband, j.
L. c., who seems to
have disappeared. This
may not even be his name,
and he could be married to
some one else, and yet he
says if l divorce him he will
kill me. Will you please check
this and help me?"
An Archives man said:
"Even the records in the

enable US to help her with
this problem, We hope, of
course, that she is alive and
we'll"
Flowers
A fellow We know dropped
In at his bank to open a trust
fund account for his young
daughter. He noted, on three
desks in the new accounts
section, three vases for single
long-stemmed flowers, each
holding a chrysanthemum.
He asked if this were gen.
eral throughout the bank, and
was told that these were the
only bedecked desks in the
building. Furthermore, when
the flowers begin to droop, the
bank buys new ones to replace
them.
This came about because
soon after the bank opened
for business in its new build
ing a couple of years ago, one
Of the girls who uses one of
the desks brought in the three
vases and three flowers to 60
with them. A vice president
passed by, saw the flowers,
and thought it was a good
idea.
Now the bank buys three
cut flowers, once a week, for
the three girls in the new
accounts section.
Bells
A fellow who has been
going to mass every Sunday
for a good many years says
he has learned how the
sanctuary bells must sound
to the very young.
On one recent Sunday, he
reports, when the bells were
rung for the first time dur
ing the mass, a strong,
approximately twO-year-Old
voice sounded clear in the
hushed church:
