Sparingly and carefully, the
chief of the Red Cross Wash
ington Regional Blood Center
told doctors yesterday.
DR.. Raymond o. Dart outlined
factors involved in use of valu-
able, life-saving blood to the
26th annual scientific assembly
of the District Medical Society
at the Statler Hotel.
In an interview after the
panel on the Uses and Abuses
Of Blood Transfusions, DR.. Dart
named both Georgetown and
George Washington University
Hospitals as two which waste
some donor blood by not using
it on time.
He declared that overstocking,
failure of the laboratory tech
nician to rotate blood, failure to
return blood held temporarily
for a patient and not used at
least seven days in advance are
all factors in waStage.
DR.. Dart said that there is
an urgent need" for economy
in the use of blood. He added

VIDEO CONES TO THE DENTIST
Honsen's S SoIory Called
Lowest of Major Cities

District School Supt. Carl F.
Hansen makes less money than
the school superintendent of
any other large city in the Ma
ton and less than Montgomery
County's superintendent, also.
The information was con-
tanned in a detailed statistical
study released yesterday COM
pairing school salaries here with
those in II neighboring juris-
dictions and cities with a popu-
lation over 100000.
DR.. HanSen's salary is $19,-
900. The Chicago superintend-
ent is the best paid in the
country with $4,000. Mont
gomery County's chief school
officer gets $4,000.
The comparative study, pre-
pared by the District schools
Department of General Re-
searh. Budget and Legislation,
noted that city teachers and
school officials have lost some
ground since last year.
Aside from the superintend-
ent's pay, the District makes
its poorest showing in maxi
mum salaries for teachers.

Area Hospitals Urged
To CurtoiI Blood Use

that the procurement of blood
is no longer exclusively the busi-
ness of any single agency. such
as the Red Cross, but that all
groups including hospitals with
their own blood banks should
work together.
Defending the $3.50 per pint
processing charge the Red Cross
charges hospitals here for each
pint of blood used, DR.. Dart
said that the reason is simply
a lack of money.
He declared that the hospitals
are being asked to share only
one-half of the total expense Of
processing each pint.
DR.. Jack j. Rheingold, assist
ant professor of medicine at the
George Washington University
Hospital, called on doctors not
to use blood transfusions if the
patients condition is otherwise
correctable. He noted that
many blood anemias may be
corrected with use of iron and
other additives. However, such
conditions as bone marrow fail
ure, leukemia and persistent
bleeding do call for tranSfusions.

Traffic Control.
Held Key Issue

Northern Virginia planners
must make traffic problems
their main concern in future
years, outgoing Chairman Will
liam H. Moss told the Northern
Virginia Regional Planning and
Economic Development Com
mission last night.
Only by giving active support
to a Metropolitan Area trans
portation plan can suburban
residents hope to be able to
move around and commute to
Washington with any degree of
freedom in future years, he de-
clared.
Next in order, he told the
commission, should be sewage
and pollution problems, be-
cause these two require re-
gional cooperation in the face
of continuing problems caused
by population growth.
Mr.. Moss successor, Francis
M. Coffey, asked for a larger
turnout at future meetings.
Nine of the 19 members at
tended last nights meeting
Mr.. Coffey said the meetings
frequently lacked quorums.
Mr.. Coffey is a member of
the Prince William County
Planning Commission and has
belonged to the regional group
for over four years. He is a
real estate man and resides in
Dumfries.
The commission elected Full
ton Want vice chairman to
succeed Mr.. Coffey and re-
elected Mrs. r. F. S. Starr
treasurer. Mr.. Want is a Lou
doun County farmer and chair
man of that county's planning
commission. Mr.. Starr resides

Councilmen also voted to
issue $4,137, 900 worth of capital
improvement bonds to be sold
on January 81. Approved were
$1,168,000 for school construc-
tion, $1,264,000 for street and
bridge work. $65O,OO0 for public
buildings. $435.000 for storm
and sanitary sewers, $4,000
for parking facilities. and
$50, 1000 for parkland acquisition.
In other action, councilmen
adopted in principle a plan for
easing traffic flow on U. S.
Route l through the city by
splitting it onto two streets,
making Henry street one-way
south and Patrick street one
way north. Henry street now
carries Route l traffic in both
directions.
The plan also includes widen
ing Telegraph road from a pro-
posed interchange with the cir
cumferential highway to Duke
street, a grade separation at
Telegraph and Duke and widen
ing Duke from Telegraph to
Route l. Under the proposal
Route / also would be linked
with George Washington Me-
mortal parkway by Skaters lane.
The council also adopted a
sign ordinance which prohibits
all billboards in the city except
on industrial property or where
they advertise the business on
whose premises they are located.
Businessmen failed to get an
amendment to allow billboards
also on commercial property
by special use permits.

UNENDNG WAR CONTINUES IN CAROLINA COASTLAND
FOREST FIRES IN
THREE COUNTIES
BURN $4,000 ACRES
How Careless Action Can Be As
Criminally Costly As De-
strue+ion By Intent

Careless action in burning brush
while clearing land in Hyde Coun-
ty, is believed to have started the
costly forest fire which burned
over some $4,000 acres of land in
Hyde and Tyrrell counties last
week. The origin of the fire is
ascribed to a field fire operated
without a burning permit, and it
is indicated there will be some
prosecutions in this case.
The fire began some eight miles
west of Alligator Lake, sometimes
called New Lake on Wednesday.
Strong southwest winds drove it
in an easterly direction, almost to
Phelps Lake in Washington Coun-
ty. Thursday was it's most active
day, and it headed a mile west
through the large Nylen tract, and
into the l.. R. Foreman property
in northwestern Tyrrell County.
Most of the property burned over
was brush land, and some of it
was swept twice by this fire. West
Virginia Pulp & Paper Co. in
Tyrrell lost some so acres of its
cypress plantation, the fire having
swept across about 600 acres of
their lands, VIM. Ernst, Jr., the
company's woodlands manager in
Manteo, said.
While there are ample laws
against setting fires, as we'll as
against burning brush without a
permit from the fire warden, there
is seldom satisfactory prosecution
in these cases. Most big forest
fires appear to break out from
fires set either through neglect or
stupidity, and while there is lack
of intent to do wrong, the cost
can run into hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars, and be greater
financial loss to the community,
than the malicious burning of some
other kinds of property.
