BALTIMORE, Nov. 9.-The

county board of education
arranged for space for clinics
there to be held first in a.
school, then a community hall
and later a fire hall.
Ten years later the Glen
Burnie Improvement Associa-
ton assumed support of the
local health program. The Glen
Burnie Health Association,
formed in 1913, began working
immediately to obtain a perma-
nent health center.
In 1952-after many long
hours of work-the center was
completed. 1t cost $4,000 and
is said to be one of the most
completely equipped centers in
the country.
The final payment on the
Glen Burnie center was made
last year. AS soon as the pay

Health MISUNDERSTANDING
Area for World Health Of
ficials."
'I'll be rash." said DR.. Beard,
land say that you won't find
another county health program
quite like ours in the Nation"
The county today has be-
come a model for health pro-
grams both in this and other
countries. But it has not be-
come a leader overnight.
Three decades ago the county
had no organized health serv-
ices. 1t had a high infant NOR
tally rate and a heavy Incl
dence Of diphtheria and tuber-
culosis. Little emphasis was
placed upon the Importance of
maternal and child health.
Citizens Act
The citizens of the county,
aided by health officials, took
it upon themselves to improve
their community health serv-
ices. Here is how they have
succeeded:
There are 10 health centers
in various sections of the
sprawling. largely rural county
Each is owned by private, local
health associations.
A county Public Health Lay
Council, composed of private
citizens, co-ordinates health
plans with DR.. Boards depart
ment.
Mortality figures on heart,
cancer, pneumonia, tubercu-
losis, diabetes and other chron-
ic diseases all show a lower
rate than Statewide figures.
The county health program
provides these clinics for
mothers and children: Cancer,
cardiac, cerebral palsy, child
health. dental, epilepsy, hear
ing. maternal hygiene. mental
health. obstetrics. orthopedics,
pediatrics, plastic, rheumatic
fever. speech. tuberculosis and
venereal disease.
Community Is Key
DR.. Beard, discussing the
county program, says:
"Our health program is predi-
Gated upon the thesis of maxi
mum participation of the whole
community. We believe that
this will produce the most eff
fective results in developing a
healthful people. And I think
our record will bear that out"
The 10 health centers were
built with funds raised by pri-
vate citizens. No tax money
was used. Community raff1es.

Eisenhower Tells Congress to Cut His $72 Billion Budget--If They Can

He also expressed the view that the nation probably never again would be confronted with a de- pression such as the one in the 193Os.
 At his first news conference since last Nov. A, the President also spoke out sharply against any division of his Middle East program into separate military and economic aid packages.
 Some Congress members have talked of splitting the Eisenhow- CT program into two measures, instead of one resolution as asked by the President.
 Any such division, Eisenhower said emphatioally, would destroy what this government is trying to do-prevent any aggression by the Soviet Union in the Mideast.
 He drew chuckle from the 265 newsmen present when he asked with smile whether anyone wanted to put any questions to him.
 At one point after the opening round dealing with Humphreys views regarding the budget, Eli senhower was asked if he intends to continue contacts with report CTS. That obviously was an allu- sion to the fact that he had not held a news conference for about 10 weeks.
 He replied that events during the period since Nov. IA made it impossible for him to get together with newsmen, but that he plans to see them once a week unless something interferes.

NEW YORK'S MAD BOMBER CAPTURED, SIGNS CONFESSION

Getting nowhere after 16 years of fruitless efforts to nab the bomber, police recently decided to appeal for public aid and made available practically all the in formation they had.
 Front Page Pleas
 Newspapers gave prominent display to the material and one. the New York Journal-American, published a series of front page pleas to the bomber to surrender.
 The bomber, in turn, began writing letters to the paper, mak- ing further references to. his grievance against Consolidated Edison. The information caused police to examine utility files re- lating to employe injuries. Mon- day they spotted one pointing to. George Metesky.
 Held Under $loo.o0o Bail
 Charged with being a fugitive, Metesky waived extradition in a special city court session. New York police said he would be held here, under $1O0,00O bond, until warrants arrive from New York. Arm said Metesky signed a written statement saying he is the man who, because he felt he got a raw deal from the company he used to work for, planted at least 32 bombs in public places in New York City since 1941.
 Several of the bombs exploded. The toll: 15 persons injured, none critically.

WATERBURY, Conn.,, R-A clean-cut man in a blue suit told calmly Tuesday of 25 years of suffering and of hatred boiling up inside him. Then he confessed he is New York's mad bomber"
 George Metesky is his name. He is 53, stocky and gray-haired.
 He said he made a VOW long time ago to go on planting bombs in New York until he either got caught or died.
 "This iss the man," said New York Deputy Police Commission CT Walter Arm. "We know him by his admissions. Secondly, we know him by check of his hand writing"
 Held Some Grievance
 A number of letters and cards written by the bomber during the years indicated he held some grievance against New York's Consolidated Edison Co.,, but painstaking searches of company records brought no clue.

 Capt. A. B. Bruck, from the Adjutant Generals office of the Alaska National Guard, was a guest. He explained various de- tails in connection with the pro- posed armory for Nome.
 Tentative plans call for a drill hall the size of regulation bas- ketbau court which would also seat between 450 and 600 persons, two classrooms for meetings, and a small kitchen. Offices for the 1st Scout Battalion, lockers and showers, and public toilet facili- ties would also be included in the tentative plans.
 The estimated cost of such building would be $582,000, 75 percent of which to come from federal funds and 25 percent from territorial funds. The facilities in the armory would be available to local organizations for nominal rental fee and such rental would be governed by board with rep- resentatives from the community and from the Alaska National Guard.
 Other guests included Mrs. Thomas A. Knudson, Dr. H. L. Foss, Rev. Clarence Solberg, John F. Frey of the Alaska National Bank of Fairbanks, and Major Crawford.

Bandits Raid Meeting Of Businessmen, Escape With $5.OOO in Loot

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. R-Four bandits with stockings pulled over their faces and brandishing rifles held up 20 businessmen attending a meeting last night and escaped with about $5,000.
 The holdup men entered the second-floor assembly room of the Wynnefield Civic League in West Philadelphia shortly before midnight. They forced the busi- nessmen to lie on the floor, then took their wallets, rings and watches.
 The thugs then ripped the tele- phone wires from the wall and escaped into heavy fog in an old station wagon.
 One of the. businessmen told police he lost $l,6oo, a ring and a watch to the bandits.
