Rockville Key Location
Tn Future Mass Transit

Metropolitan Washington's es-
timated 312 million population in
1880 could be served by a mass
transportation system combining
automobiles, express buses and a
rapid-trasit system using Rock
vile and Falls Church as its sub
urban terminals.
These are the possibilities now
under consideration by a mass
transportation study begun in 1855
and expected to be concluded by
June of next year, according to
the projects director, Kenneth NJ.
Hoover.
A progress report was given by
Hoover last Wednesday at the
County Building at a meeting
sponsored by the Rockville Plan.

alton.
AS background to the survey
on regional transportation needs,
studies on land use, population
and economic phases were report
ed by Paul c. Watt, director of
the National Capital Regional
Planning Council which is direct
ing the 100000 study.
A new idea in mass transporta-
ton reported as possibility for
Washington's central business dis
trict is a car-veyor system which
is a continuous moving belt of
cars running underground at a
speed of 10 to II miles an hour.
The car-veyor would be used as
part of rapid transit system run
ming on its separate right-of-ways
from Rockville and Falls Church.
Rockville is one Of the possible
terminals because the population
is expected to grow in a north

| northwest direction. If so, Rock
vile will be the farthest point of
high-density population needed to
support a rapid-transit system.
Hoover predicted little chance
of present railroad systems going
into the committing business on
a major scale as railroads, such
as the B & o, primary service is
moving freight. A full time COM
muting service would be too cost
ly and would tie up the central
terminal, Hoover said.
Supplementing the rapid trans
! it system would be express buses
with their own separate high.
ways; and for fringe or cir
cumferential travel the mode
would be limited to car. Hoover
did not feel that any public trans
portation would take the place of
automobiles for suburban routes
such as between Silver Spring and
Bethesda.
AS to economics, Hoover felt
that public funds would be neces-
sary for the initial construction
of any separate-way rapid transit
system but that its operation could
be supported by reasonable fare
rate.
Another question on which
Hoover is still not ready to make
recommendations is what kind of
authority or regional public body
should be set up to coordinate the
various private or public transport
tation systems that will be neces-
sary.
In summing up the possible
mass transportation ways, the
survey director gave a time com
parison for the various means of
transportation between Rockville
and Washington business district:
present local automobile travel, 70
minutes; present local bus travel,
los minutes; express bus, 81 min
utes; express highway, 43 min
utes; rapid transit system with
car-veyor, "a minutes and with
out car-veyor, 81 minutes.

Medical sciences amending
search for the cause and cure of
poliomyelitis took another step
forward in Montgomery County
recently when the first of two
day clinic series was held.
Approximately 35 persons, in
wheel chairs, on crutches or walk
ing normally came to the County
Health Department to offer them
serves for examination by doctors
working for the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis.
Fifty more came int4 days later
The Montgomery County Chap
ter of NIP wrote letters to 600
known polio victims, asking them
to take part in the clinic.
Typical Patient
Typical of many of those who
responded was Mrs. Regina Ann
Maron, 81, of 1902 Saltwater
Avenue, Kensington.
'If l can be of any help in
discovering new ways to treat
polio, / am more than willing"
she said
Mrs. Maron, was stricken in
July, 1854, and spent six months
in the Washington Sanitarium.
Her legs are partially paralyzed
and she must use metal crutches.
She said she hadn't much time
to see doctors since she was re-
leased from the hospital because
she has had two children since
that time.
Another lady who found it diff
ficult to get to doctor was Mrs.
Raymond Talley, of Jamestown.
She is confined to a wheelchair
and the trip from her home to
Washington Sanitarium in Tako-
ma Park is very firing. She, like
Mrs. Maron was pleased to be
able to help.
Scientific Data
The post-polio histories of Mrs.
Talley and Mrs. Maron were par
ticularly interesting to the foun-
dalton. Armed with exact infor-
nation about each of their cases,
doctors can determine precise de-
grees of gain or loss of locomo-
ton, and extrapolate their conclu-
sions to prescribe for other pa
tents.
The purpose of the clinic was
to determine the extent and kind
of residual effects from the dis
ease. Findings from the clinic will
be correlated in the hope that
some new information can be
gained. Similar clinics will be held
throughout the country this year.
Neither age nor the date of on
set of the disease were factors in
the testing. One of those inter
viewed was 75-year-old lady who
contracted the disease in Ala
bama when she was two years
old.
