TB Gases
Up OUer
SO LeueL

New cases of tuberculosis dis
covered in Montgomery County
between January and September
this year were nearly double
those discovered in the same
period of 1858.
BY the end of last September,
As adults and 81 children were
discovered to have new active
cases of tuberculosis, as COM
pared with only 81 adults and
10 children in the same period
a year ago.
DR.. William J.. Peoples, coun.
ty health officre, conceded that
this was a significant increase,
but he said he did not consider
it enough to become alarmed
about. He said that if the fig
ures showed a similar rise again
in 1860 it would be cause for
concern.
Peoples attributed the in.
crease to two principal factors.
He said that mostly he believed
the increase to be more appar-
ent than real, that it was largely
a matter of better diagnostic
techniqueS, or looking closer"
(This would mean there were
actually more new cases of tu-
berculosis in 1858 than were
discovered.)
But Peoples also said that the
increased cost of living, and the
consequent lower standard. of
living for poorer families, would
certainly be a contributing fac
tor. He said that poor nutrition
can have a definite effect on in
cidence of tuberculosis.

District Taking Biggest Gamble
On Problem Boys at New School

that many classes throughout
the public school system are
finally proceeding at an easier
pace with only a normal
amount of distraction. In some
cases. a whole school has set
tied down.
From this angle, the school is
paying off. Its mere existence
has relieved tension; there is
now a place a harried principal
can send a perennial trouble
maker without being accused of
breaking the law or contribut.
ing to delinquency. And the
threat of being sent there may
have kept more than one boy
in line.
But if Boys Juniors Senior
High has relieved pressure else
where, it is building it up within
itself. 1t must produce-and
produce with material which,
far various reasons, may be un-
workable.
The big challenge at the
school is to be positive-that is,
to take a boy, teach him some
thing and then see that he is
returned to the normal school
setting"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-03-01

But 1t is tough-perhaps the
toughest job of any school in
the Washington area. And it
keeps getting tougher because
the boys keep coming in. And
the boys are tough and always
hostile. They are impulsive, ag-
greSSive, explosive. One is on
tranquilizers. Three turned up
tired at school one morning
after spending most of the
night in a police lineup during
a rape investigation. They might
slug anybody any time.
In a recent physical educa-
ton clasS-the school has two
ping pong tables and some tum-
cling matS-the teacher, a solid,
former professional football
player, found one of the boys
edging up to him.
Gould you take the whole
class on?" the boy asked, with
a trace Of sheer to his voice.
The teacher. Leo Miles, 81,

would meet what he hoped was

Gunmen Wound
Man DELIVERING
Liquor Order

A liquor-store delivery man
was shot down on the street
here last night by two men who
took only the bottles he was
carrying, police reported.
Nathanial Minick, 80, of 1884
Massachusetts, avenue Sc, was
shot once through the lower alb
domen about 1880 pm. in the
unit block of E street Sc, &C.
cording to Robbery Squad Capt.
Nunzio Bonaccorsy.
Mr.. Minick, who works part
time for the Congressional Liq-
uor Store at 406 First street
Sc, was taken to Casualty
Hospital in serious condition.
Capt. Bonaccorsy gave this
account:
AS Mr.. Minick was walking
toward a house on E street to
make a delivery, two colored
men came UP and told him to
step into an areaway. When
the men grabbed his parcels, a
scuffle ensued and one of the
men fired the shot wounding
Mr.. Minick.
The robbers ran when Mr..
Minick fell to the ground, TAX
ing with them the two bottles
Of Scotch, two bottles of gin, IL
cans Of beer and the jar of
olives he was delivering. Mr..
Minick had $40 to $50 on him,
but the men made no attempt
to take his money.
Mr.. Minick, despite his
wound, managed to walk back
to the store.

This was more than four

would have circled the earth
over the north and south poles
at least twice If it was in orbit.
There was no evidence either
of the success or failure Of
the DiScoverer shot. Though no
radio signals were letting
through to ground stations.
early indications were that the
first and second stages had
fired in such a way that an
orbit should have been
achieved.
