District Commissioner David
B. Karrick last night called on
all persons who have not had
polio shots to get them at once.
The Commissioner noted "se-
riouS and distressing reports in
our local press about the heavy
increase in the incidence OF
polio throughout the United
States" He said the situation
here, however, has shown
steady improvement.
But, he warned. less than
half of the District population
has been immunized. I'VE can
not be smug," he said.
Mr.. Karrick spoke on radio
station WWDC's Report to the
People.

clared that the Board of Com
missioners does not want I'd

On the contrary. he said,
the Commissioners have been
helped many times by the
councils recommendations.
Speaking of the Corporation
Counsel's recent ruling on art
in saloons, Mr.. Karrick said
the ruling was in accordance
with present regulations. Cor
poration Counsel Chester Gray
has held that paintings may
be displayed in saloons but that
they cannot be sold.

Mclaughlin Dubious
On Engineers Value

Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin said yesterday he
thought it was "debstable
whether the city had proflted
by having an Engineer Com
missioner.
The question came up under
4 discussion of home rule on
the television program "City
Side" over WTOP-TV.
Originally, Mr.. Mclaughlin
said, the city's chief engineer
was selected from the Engineer
Corps because the corps had
the best engineers in the
country.
In the past, Engineer Com
missioners have served for
varying lengths of time, usually
for about three years. Mr.. Nc
Laughlin did not say the
turnover" in the Office was
harmful to the city, nor did ne
say it helped any.

the Office under some form Of

Sobell, 80. is serving a 30

has been rejected repeatedly by

Fa|Iout Record
BY the Associated Press

Last October's nuclear tests
by the Russians produced a
record rise in the radioactive
debris in the stratosphere, says
DR.. Willard F. Libby.
DR.. Libby. scientist-member
Of the Atomic Energy Commits
sion, said the rise was tremen-
hous-the greatest In all the
history Of weapons testing by
the Soviets, Americans and
British.
At the same time DR.. Libby
made public the theory Of an
other American scientist that
Russian nuclear tests in polar
regions may present a greater
fallout hazard to a large part
Of the world than the equato-
rial tests Of the United States
and Britain.
Tentative Theory
DR.. Libby said this theory
however. is still considered ten
tative. even by its originator

In other highlights Of hi:
talk, DR.. Libby:
l. Disclosed that in last
summers tests at Eniwetok, the
Americans detonated some OF
their shots on barges loaded
with tons Of silica Sand-with
the objective Of encasing the
dangerous radioactive stron-
tium in glass-type beads" The
hope is that this will make the
strontium less likely to be as
simulated by plants, animals
and humans.
2. Revealed that the United
States also had spiked some of
the Eniwetok test devices with
two special isotopes-to be
used as "tracers" in the quest
to get new information on
what happens to fallout in the
shakespeare.
3. Said there is a possibility
still improved - that the
long-run concentrations OF
fallout materials in the human
body from food may be con-
siderably lower than has been
calculated in the past.
