Second 1858
Polio Case

A young Upper Marlboro
mother has been confirmed as
the second polio case of 1858 in
the Washington area. The
Prince Georges County Health
Department said she had re-
ceived no vaccine shots.
The 24-year-old woman's
case was described as nom
paralytic. She was permitted to
remain at home. 1t was the
first case in Prince Georges this
year. The other area case was
in the District.
Sixty cases had been re-
ported in the area at this time
last year.
The Public Health Service
said yesterday that polio cases
in the Nation totaled 399 last
week, 1913 of them paralytic.
Both were the highest weekly
counts reported this year.. The
revised figures for the preced-
ing week were 319 cases. 153
paralytic.
Last weeks 399 cases COM
pared with 282 in the corre-
spending week of 1857.
Since January /, there have
been 2.942 cases reported, COM
pared with 4,402 at the same
time last year. But paralytic
cases this year have numbered
lat, compared with 1890 in
the similar 1857 period.

ties such as Washington's at
Blue Plains.
Ellis S. Tisdale, director of
the commission which has only
advisory powers, explained that
members were reluctant now
to vote outright opposition to
any particular treatment plant
proposal. Within the next
month, however, the body win
consider registering its objec-
lions to any treatment plant
construction anywhere in the
Washington area where drink
ing water supplies may be
harmed, Mr.. Tisdale said.
Among committee recommen-
dations submitted yesterday,
the commission was urged to
enlist the help of the United
States Geological Survey in
planning a two-year prelimi-
nary study of the amount of
soil sediment found in the Po-
tomac from the Washington
area to the headwaters. An ex-
animation of means to finance
the survey also was requested.
Estimated total cost is $50, 900.
Muddy Water Problem
At the same time the COM
mission was urged that a con-
tinuing study of the problem of
muddy waters be established to
carry forward after the two
year preliminary assessment is
made. Sedimentation resulting
from poor land management
practices has been described as
the Potomac'S most aggravated
pollution problem. even in re-
lation to municipal and indus
Trial wastes.
Protests were voiced from the
floor against garbage and rub
.blsh dumping directly into the
river, especially in upper re-
gions. This widespread prac-
tice, which many of the dele
gates saw first hand, is prevalent
among small communities lining
the Upper Potomac and its trib-
utaries. State enforcement au-
thorities in West Virginia and
Maryland will be urged to take
stricter actions to stop the
practice.

Dr.. Hansen
AssuiIs Fuds
In Teaching

Or. Carl r. Hansen. District
school superintendent has taken
another jab at too progressive
education.
At a press conference yester-
day, he took issue with teach
ing by units. a way of education
generally practiced in elemen-
tary grades. He asked for, and
indicated he intends to employ
throughout the system, gradu-
ally, the systematic use of pre-
pared text material"
At the same time. he empha-
sized he was searching for a
moderate approach to educa-
tion-borrowing the merits of
teaching by the book and the
other approach of teaching by
experience.
He feels too many teachers
are required to act like special
lists in the various topics that
are on the agenda of any school
year. He feels they don't have
time to prepare much of the
material they feel compelled to
employ in covering the course.
DR.. Hansen cited as an ex-
ample the story of visiting a
classroom and noticing a re-
markable, three = dimensional
model of train running along
a railroad. The children were
studying transportation" But,
he said, on asking the children
to identify the man in the cab
Iof the engine he got blank
faces. Somewhere in the study
of Transportation" they had
missed the Observation-Disclosures
haps the importance-of 1.-THE
engineer"
On another point. the super
intendent said he was readyine
a report on Mrs. Barnet Mover,
a teacher at Murch Elementary
School.
The teacher was recently
criticized by a group of parents
who asked that she be removed
from ANY direct teaching posi-
ton with children"

Department official said.
The name proposed for the

Court Wins
Booking for
Larger Stoff

District budget officers today
disclosed approval of a IL per
cent staff rise for Juvenile
Court.
Eight of the new staff mem
bers, judge Orm w. Ketcham
said, would be divided between
the courts intake unit, which
screens youthful offenders, and
the unit dealing with illegiti-
mate children.
Also approved we're requests
for an extra bailiff and a sta
tistical clerk.
The staff increase, Judge
Ketcham said, is intended to
help meet the courts heavy
case load.
See Backlog Reduced
One of the functions of the
intake workers, he noted, is to
try to minimize the number of
cases which must be handled
personally by the courts single
Judge. The additional staff
would help reduce the case
backlog. he said.
The proposed staff increase
would take effect next sum-
mer. 1t still needs approval by
the District Commissioners and
Congress.
Judge Ketcham asked for a
budget of $702,000. Budget
officers recommended $661 900,
The courts budget this year
is $685.. 1000.
Five fewer additional staff
members were approved than
the judge requested. Also de-
leted was a $4,000 item
. wanted for a survey of the
courts space Sltuauon-
Allotment Acceptable

crowded, the judge said. The
survey would deter:::ss. ii:..se wheth-
er an addition or a new court
house might be justified, he
explained.
Despite the budget office
trimming. the Judge termed the
proposed allotment reasonable
A $1,000 item for employing
medical consultants was among
those approved.
Budget officers allotted ar
extra $4,000 to Municipal
Court for eight new clerks, two
bailiffs and other expenses, al
extra $4,000 to the Municipal
Court of Appeals and an added
$4,000 to the District Tax Codrt

School OfliciaIs Confer
The three school officials
conferred with other State
school leaders from throughout
the country at the Woodner
concerning requirements OF the
educational bill.
They were Joined by repre-
sentatives of the ONCE Of Edu-
cation which will administrate
the program.
The complex bill. signed by
President Eisenhower Septem-
Der 2, does much more than
stress science.
1t provides for scholarship
loans to students at both State
and parochial universities;
grants for acquisition OF lab
oratory equipment and minor
Iremodeling; grants for expan-
sion of counseling and testing
programs to detect gifted stu
dents; and grants for improved
collection of educational sta
tiSticS.
After July 30, States must
match many of the grants with
funds of their own.
Before they may receive any
grants. they must submit &C
Iceptable plans for their use
to the Office of Education.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-09-20

under terms of the bill was
announced as undecided.
In accordance with the 1887
million measure. Congress has
appropriated an initial sac
million for loans and grants to
accelerate education for the
space age.

This sum includes $l62.132
For use in Washington, $685.

in Virginia this fiscal year.
Each ALLEGATION could be in
creased either through reap
portionment or by additional
appropriations from Congress
More money will be offered
during each of the next three
fiscal years.
George Reynolds, an assist
ant superintendent of schools,
said he is confident the District
soon can prepare a plan which
will qualify it for all funds al
lotted for education here.
He expressed hope the Fed
eral aid will permit us to eX-

members who had supported
this standard but that:
1T seemed to me that this
reason under our local circum-
stances was one which. in eff
feet, became assignment on the
basis of race"
Mr.. Joy said that he is
neither a segregationist nor an
|integrationist. MY basic posi-
ton is that l will carry out the
obligations placed upon me by
the Constitution and laws Of
the State of Virginia and the
United States, and to the extent
that these laws permit indie

public education for all Airing
ton children.
OF the five children who were
turned down BY the board url-
der the adaptability category
one is in the elementary level
and the remaining four are in
Junior high classes. Mr.. Joy
said that he had originally pro-
posed that the elementary
school students be admitted
this year and that the four
Junior high students be en-
| rolled in white schools next
year. This proposal. which was
not supported by any Of the
other board members, was in
line with a tentative three-step
desegregation program which
the 1856 Arlington School Board
had drawn up. Il
Voted to Reject All
One of the three school board
members who voted to reject
all 80 applications, Mr.. Bean,
said:
From an educational stand
/ point, I feel that we were
right"
| If the board had voted to
permit any of the integration
requests, Mr.. Bean said, he
believed that there would have
been no delay by Judge Bryan.
This would have meant that
some Arlington schools would
now be closed, Mr.. Bean said.
/ He added that:
TOO often civil rights have
BEEN given entire sway. We
have to concern ourselves also
with the impact that the exer-
else of civil rights would have
on the educational system
/ This position. Mr.. Bean said,
is in line with the Supreme
Courts ruling that desegrega-
ton must be put in effect but
that the general welfare OF the
community also must be taken
into consideration.

Robert A. Peck. L. Lee Bean
and Mrs. Helen Lane. voted to
reject all 80 of the indignation
applications.
Vote Split Not Revealed
School officials had revealed
at the Arlington indignation
hearing in Alexandria Federal
Court that the 80 requests had
been turned down on the basis
of five assignment standards.
The fact that there had been
split votes on applications was
not brought out.
The five criteria which the
board used were:
Attendance areas. oyercrowd-
ing at Washington-Lee High
School. academic achievement,
psychological problems and
adaptabtlity to new situations,
The assignment votes were
made on the condition that the
court would rule that assign
ment power rests with the Ar
lington School Board and not
with the State.
Last Wednesday, Judge Al
bert v. Bryan approved four Of
the indignation requests and
turned down the remaining 20.
The four are to be admitted
to Stratford Junior high at mid
term, February 2.
Today, Mr.. Stockard said
that he had voted to approve
only two of the screening
standards - attendance areas
and overcrowding at Washing
ton-Lee.
Favored 5 Requests
In addition, Mr.. Stockard
said, he favored the transfer
requests of five students who
had won integration order from
Judge Bryan last year. This
decision was stayed for an
appeal, which was upheld last
May by the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Stockard said that his
decision was made on the belief
that the remaining criteria
could not be applied in the
future to all transfer requests
on a non-racial basis.
Mr.. Joy said he had sup
ported all of the screening
standards with THE exception
of one-adaptability to new
situations. Five students were
rejected by the board for this
reason.
Mr.. Joy, who was the prin-
cipal witness for Arlington and
the State at the court hearing
