The
Rambler
Puuses Briefly
For Diabetes Test
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

That editor is right. The
Rambler should do more
walking if he is going to find
out what is going on in
Washington.
Yesterday he walked to
the Hecht CO. to see about
a rug for the, new house.
Right across the street
from the main entrance was
a card table on the sidewalk.
There were two young men
in white tunics, and a sign
on the table said:
Have your blood tested
for sugar diabetes"
Now, the Rambler isn't
worried about sugar dia-
beteS. Come to think of it,
he had a corSplete physical
checkup-the first in his 81
yearS-only six months ago.
Everything was negative,
and that's one situation in
which the sweetest word in
the language is no. But, he
figured, the best way to find
out about this is to expert
ence it, SO he barred his arm
and stood in line.
The young men who took
his blood were students at
Howard University Medical
School-Fred Palmieri from
New Jersey and Karl KEEL
lawen from Arima, Trinidad.
They told him they had
been taking blood samples on
the streets for three weeks;
that 100 to $50 persons a day
lined up for the needle and
that, for further informa-
ton, he should call John L.
Pendleton at the District
Health Departments North
west Central Clinics, 1925
Upshur street NV.
The Rambler called and
learned that this is the third
summer of these blood tests
on the streets of Washing
ton and that 10000 people
have been tapped.

partment in a cooperative
program in which the Fed
eral Government and the
District pay about equal
shares.
Students of the three
Washington medical schools,
Howard, Georgetown and
George Washington, are en-
ployed in the program.
They are paid IS cents a
test. Two students will split
$35 to $50 a day. Last sum-
mer a student, now an MD,
made 1900 tests and earned
$1,000 in a month.
Sugar content of the blood
may be momentarily high
enough to cause a suspicion
of diabetes, from recent in
diligence in an ice cream
soda, a candy bar or a soft
drink. All instances where
the sugar content of the
blood amounts to or exceeds
1870 to 100000 parts are
checked.
OF the 10000 persons who

Burke Airport Site
Gets New Support
IndustriuIGroup
County Official
Back Proposal

New support for construc-
ton of the Burke Airport de-
veloped on two fronts today.
l. The Greater Washington
Industrial Council concluded
after a committee study that
there is no doubt concerning
the superior location of the
Burke site for serving the
broad requirements of Metro
politan Washington"
2. Stuart T. DeBell of Gen.
treville, who had lined up with
six of the other seven Fairfax
County supervisors in opposi-
ton to the airport site, said
he was ready to accept a Civil
AeronauticS Administration rec
ommendation of Burke.
Importance to d. C. Stressed
Harold M. Dudley, the in
duStrial councils secretary, re-
leased a resolution by the Exec
utive Committee indorsing the
site from the aspects of indus
trial benefits, air traffic safety
and impact on the nearby COM
munity.
The committee said it was
psychologically important to
industrial Washington to have
the airport associated with
Metropolitan Washington than
with another city such as Bal
timore's Friendship Airport.
Also cited was the available.
ity of good truck and rail con-
nections, and the sal,Itary eff
feet this would have on at
tracing new light industries to
the Washington area.
Essential to Industry
Further increase in such in
dustries appears to be desired
by all segments of the COM
munity," the resolution said.
1T is important that the Sec
ond airport be located so that
it will further enhance. instead
of detract from. the desirable
ity of Washington as a center
of light industry"
The committee said Burke
appears more ideally situated
than any other proposed sites
for these other reasons:
More conveniently located
for visitor and company execu-
tive travel; it's proximity to
Shirley highway and the South
ern Railway; ample land for in
dustrial development under
desirable coming procedures:
proximity to the Washington
labor market; suitable living
environment for both employees
with modest incomes and
higher paid executives and
technicians.
Safety Stressed
The committee. on the point Of
air traffic safety. said 1t was
highly significant" that many
Government and civilian agen-
cies had approved the site after
long study.
On the question of objection
because of noise, the council
pointed out that results from
other communities with SINH
lar apprehensions are reas-
surfing.
new construction of better re-
sidential property shifted from
I'm Austin. Tex. for example.
the area where 1t had tradi-
tionally been located to areas
near the new airfield." 1t was
said.
Mr.. DeBell said he would
"go along with" decision
OF the Civil Aeronautlcs
Administration. which already
has recommended Burke. He
pointed out. however, that the
CAA has been studying Chan
lilly as another potential air
port site in Fairfax County.
Mr.. DeBell's switch followed
by less than a week an indorse-
ment Of the Burke site by
President Eisenhower.
The presidential action. how
ever. failed to dent previous
decision on Burke by other
supervisors.
