the time it takes to turn out
a Sizeable batch of vaccine.
There were other causes, a
Public Health Service spokeS-
man said. Last month, the Pub
lie Health Service recommended
booster shot-or a fourth shot
of vaccine.
This caused some run on the
vaccine, coupled with serious
outbreaks in Iowa, Arkansas
and Connecticut.
Another element in the tricky
business of producing the vac
cine has been the gradual de-
velopment on three fronts of a
live-virus polio vaccine which,
if successful, can be taken by
mouth. Again drug manufac-
turerS do not want to be caught
with heavy supplies of Salk
vaccine-a killed virus vaccine
if the use of a live vaccine
proves to be even more effec-
tive. The Salk vaccine is about
80 per cent effective.

The Washington area faces
a shortage of polio vaccine.
Any outbreak would quickly
drain what supply there is,
health officials said last night.
However, no new cases of the
disease have been reported in
the week ending last night.
Also. vaccine is expected to be
available again early in Sep
TENDER.
The situation is ironic. In
1854 at this time, there was a
stampede for vaccine-the first
effective weapon against polio's
paralytic effects. But following
the vaccine's introduction, and
its proved effectiveness, apathy
gradually replaced the fear
long associated with polio.
Shortage Explained
Today's shortage, health au-
thoritieS pointed out last night,
was probably caused last year.
Vaccine manufacturers were
forced to dump millions of
doses of Salk vaccine last fall.
There was no demand and vac
cine cannot be stored for any
length of time because it is

Mother, IA,
May Marry
Bar Eviction

A 14-year-old Alexandria
girl who gave birth to an il
legitimate child Friday may
marry so that her family will
not be evicted.
The girls parents, who are
expecting their fifth child,
have been notified by the
Alexandria Housing Authority
that they must move unless the
daughter goes elsewhere to live.
The girl was reported doing
well at the Alexandria Hospi-
tai, along with her 8-pound
son. She is expected to return
temporarily Sunday to live
with her parents at the John
Roberts Homes. The girl be-
came pregnant while visiting
relatives in South Carolina.
She hopes to marry a 23-
year-old man who has been
dating her for the last five
weeks. She had been caring
for his young child. The man.
who owns a home in Alex
andria, is not the father of the
girls child.
The girls father said he
would reluctantly consent to
the marriage if no other solu-
ton is possible. The girl and
her baby also has been offered
a home with a Falls Church
family.
The housing authority has
said that the apartment leases
prohibit families from bringing
illegitimate children into the
project. The family had been
warned of the regulation by
the authority.
V. Ward Boswell, housing
authority chairman, said the
matter was discussed at a board
meeting last week, but no de-
cision was reached. Mr.. Bos-
well and John Y. Kerr, author
ity director, declined to COM
ment on what future course of
action the authority may take.
The Alexandria mayor, Leroy
S. Bendheim, has criticized the
authority policy as has the
Northern Virginia Committee
of the National Association of
Social Workers.

THE 10 WORST JAMS
Shirley Weaving Area Is a Terror

the "mixmaster." And this is
where the trouble comes in.
Although traffic is bumper
to bumper, it rolls along rela-
lively well until it reaches the
weaving area" at Washington
boulevard. Here, Shirley high
way traffic bound for Memorial
Bridge, must cross to the left,
onto Washington boulevard.
And Washington boulevard
traffic. bound for the Four
teenth street Bridge, must
move to the right into Shirley
highway.
Most Shirley highway mo-
florists are UNDERSTANDABLE re-
luctant to enter the weaving
area" at freeway speeds. The
showdown here backs up traffic
for miles.
The first proposals for large
scale improvement of Shirley
highway and the Pentaeon
road network were made in
1854. The most important of
these proposals provide for ad-
dition of a third lane both
northbound and southbound
and construction of bridges or
underpasses in the Pentagon
area to separate Shirley traffic
from the merging flow Of autos.
Proposal for Relief
The Bureau Of Public Roads
has offered to pay the entire
cost Of improving the Penta-
gon network if the Virginia
Highway Department will take
lover its maintenance after the
Improvements are made.
The Federal road agency al
so has offered to pay IS per
cent of adding a third lane
instead Of the usual 80 per
cent for interstate HIGHWAYS

SponSibility for the upkeep of
the section between the Penta-
gon and Glebe road. The Blu
reau of Public Roads Tow

mission is studying the Govern
ment's offer.
Another prospect for I'M
provement of rush-hour travel
on Shirley highway is compile

highway from Shirley highway,
near Springfield, to the WoOd-
row Wilson Bridge in Alexan-
dria. The bridge and highway

Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican of Virginia, recently
ANNOUNCED that completion OF
this section of the Circumfer-
entail would take $4,000 cars
and $500 trucks a day from
Shirley highway, the Four

bridges. About $4,000 vehicles
a day now use Shirley highway
between the Pentagon and

ulationS is in the field of pro-
tame and butane gas. The regu-
lationS apply only to explosives.
Police could find no men,
ton of these gases. An ICC Of
fetal expressed surprise at the
omission.
On the question of routing
the explosive trucks farther
from the Capitol. both police
and ICC officials favored keep
ing the routing as it is now
the North-South truck route
through the District.
This route, going South, is
from Bladensburg road NE. to
New York avenue to Third
street NV, to Maryland ave-
nue. S.W., to Ninth street to C
street and across the Four
tenth Street Bridge.
Although this route is not
only close to the Capitol but
also fewer than 100 feet from
the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing annex and close to
the Agriculture Department,
the experts argued that the
drivers of other trucks recog-
nize the size and shape of the
explosive trucks; that other
motorists know and avoid the
truck routes wherever possible,
and that this routing is
through less congested areas
than another route might be.
Other Routes
The ICC spokesman said the
ICC authorizes trucks carrying
explosives to depart from their
prescribed routes in order to
avoid congested areas.
Tragedies like this one in
Oregon could occur here" said
the ICC official, but we have
in existence reasonably well de-
veloped regulations which, if
observed meticulously, would
reduce the likelihood of ex-
plosion to a minimum"

Police Escort Used
"In the event the operator
does not have a permit" the
1855 police order states, "the
officer shall take into consider
alton the cargo the truck is
carrying and direct the driver
to park the truck at the near
est location offering the least
hazard to traffic, property and
the citizens of the District of
Columbia"
The driver then has to tele-
phone for a permit and escort.
For transport of less than so
pounds of explosives, the fire
marshal issues the permit.
Lengthy regulations spell out
the precautions for transport
ing explosives. The vehicle
must be marked Explosives.
1t must have at least two fire
extinguishers. The driver can
not leave the truck unattended
except when actually making
deliveries. (In the Oregon dis
aster, the truck loaded with
dynamite was parked and
unattended.)
Explosives, when possible
should be transported only dur

approximately 40 people have
been killed and nearly 300 in
jured in the past two months
from gas and dynamite explo-
sionS on the Nations highways
and railroads.
Could it happen as explosive
laden trucks travel through the
metropolitan area?
The experts say it could, but
they emphasize the efforts
made to keep the risks to a
minimum.
Right now, the Interstate
Commerce Commission has
three Investigations under way:
The June 2 explosion of a pro-
pane gas truck on a heavily
travelled eastern Pennsylvania
highway, killing II persons. The
butane gas explosion on a
freight train near Meldrim, Ga,
June %, killing II. The dyna-
mite explosion early Friday in
RoSeburg, Greg, killing at
least IL.
Oregon Disaster Noted
The Rose burg explosion
prompted The Star to ask po-
lice, fire and ICC officials what
precautions are taken here to
avoid a similar disaster.
Here's the present system:
A trucker carrying more
than so pounds of explosives
is supposed to ask for a per-
NIT and an escort to go through
Washington.
The motorcycle escort meets
him at the District line, hands
him his permit and takes him
over a regular truck route
one of which is only two blocks
from the Capitol-to make his
exit from the city.
If a policeman sees a truck
carrying explosives going
through the District without
a motorcycle escort he is sup
posed to stop the truck and

trouble to call for an escort, he
may be half way through the
District before he's spotted.
Drivers of ICC-approved
transports are supposed to fol-
low the regulations of the States
through which they pass as we'll
as those of the ICC, but the ICC
is the first to admit that it's
field staff is small.
A police officer pointed out
that if the employers of these
truck drivers would ask to see
the drivers copy of his permit
to pass through the District
when he reaches his destina-
ton, avoidance of District reg
ulations would be cut down.
Since January, 1857, a total
of 173 explosive-laden trucks
have been escorted through
the District. The traffic is re-
portedly spotty. There could
be three in a week and then
none for a month.
Advance Notice Rare
Police would like to have ad-
vance notice that explosive
trucks are coming, but usually
they don't get it. If Maryland
police are escorting a truck.
they do radio ahead. Other
wise, police get their first re-
quest for an escort when the
truck is at or near the District
line.
I'VE tell them to pull over to
the side of the road and wait
for u.s." traffic official said.
But a motorist could come
barreling down the road and
run into the truck. There's no
place for them to get out of
the way"
This official thought it would
be a good idea if the truck
drivers were instructed to tele-
phone ahead from the police
weighing-in stations at Wood

Says Gray Alone
Can Interpret Rules
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star stan Writer

A District Commissioners
committee has agreed to sup
port the city attorneys posi-
ton in a long-standing juris-
dictional dispute with a Gov
eminent board.
The committee recommended
tons contain elements of a
compromise. but back Corpora
ton Counsel Chester H. Gray
on the essential point-wheth-
er his Office alone has authority
to make the Districts official
interpretations of city regula-
tons.
Mr., Gray last year chal-
lenged the authority of the
Board Of Appeals and Review
to make these rulings. He said
the boards hearing officer,
Charles Nv. Hart, should be-
come an assistant corporation
counsel.
Rubber Stamp" Feared
Board members refused to
agree to this move. The rea-
Soning was that the board
would become a rubber-st
agency if Mr.. Gray became Mr..
Harris boss.
The board was established by
the Commissioners in 1855 to
hear appeals on license and
permit decisions by city Off
Gals. Last years dispute
stemmed from Mr.. Gray's dis
agreement with some board de-
ciSions overturning actions by
the Health Department.
A committee was set up last
December by the Commission
ers to recommend a procedure
for "a proper and effective
relationship" between the
board and the Corporation
Counsel.
No ReversaIS
While this study has been
underway, the board has been
required to send its rulings to
Mr.. Gray's office for review be-
fore announcing its decisions.
However. there has been no
case where the board has been
required to reverse its position
because of an opposite legal
view by the Corporation Coun-
sci.
In essence, the committee
proposals, which now are being
rewritten in final form, give
Mr.. Gray this veto power on
cases where the decision hinges
on a question of law, and not
of fact.
Proposed New Rules
The board would be required
to submit its decisions to the
Corporation Counsel's Office on
all cases where:
/. The ruling overturnS a
decision by a city official or
agency on a legal point.
2. The ruling sustains the
officials action but indicates a
legal disagreement.
The committee, headed by
attorney harrington D. Parker,
has members from the Corpora
ton CounSel'S Office, the Board
of Appeals and Review, and
the Office of General Admins
tration.
The proposals, if adopted,
would be in the form of re-
visions to the boards organiza-
tional rules.
