Replacement
of Leland
Is Urged

Leland Junior High School in
Bethesda should be completely
replaced rather than rebuilt,
P-TA representatives told the
school board Monday.
Leland P-TA representatives
said they believed the proposed
100000 rehabilitation of the
present building would be I'M
economical. The building has
rated capacity of $50 students,
but there are Ills now enrolled
there.
Leland Junior High is over
80 years old, is overcrowded,
and is located on a site less
than one-quarter the size of the
average junior high school site
in Montgomery County. Those
who favor replacement of the
school point out that even if
the present building were torn
down and rebuilt, smallness of
the site would prevent construc-
ton of an adequate school.
On the other hand, finding
another site for new school
would be quite difficult because
land in the area is scarce.
James H. Sheldon, director of
construction, said decision of
what to do will be extremely
difficult.
The P-TA representatives told
the school board that if Leland
is to continue in use, "fire and
other safety hazards" should be
corrected at once, and use of
the auditorium by community
groups should be discontinued.

Robert w. Lebling, a soft
spoken young man with an ar.
pealing personality made an elo-
quent plea before the Cabin
John Citizens Association last
week, but citizens of the small
community didn't seem to "be
having any, thank you"
Lebling, local real estate de-
veloper, whose grandiose scheme
to transform Cabin John into
a 500 million commercial cen
ter became public last summer,
painted his plan in roseate col
ors, implied financial killings
for everybody and urged the
community to come with us,
arm in arm, to the County Coun-
Gil and request a restudy of this
(southern) section of the Cabin
John Watershed area, in light
of our plan"
Along with his associate, Blu

is now. They suggested that the

now existing would expand in

adopt the Lebling.Hayden plan.
Lebling pointed out that pres

of apartments to the Silver

Mrs. Hendrickson charged
that precinct administration -
namely Ely - had failed to
play its civic part in fighting
apartments. She said Ely never

precincts residents on coming
matters, despite numerous ION.

Precinct workers, largely from
the Rosemary Hills Citizens AS.

apartments across the street
from homes in the precinct. The
apartments were built by Sam
Fig, with whom many voters
also linked Ely.
Ely, appointed judge of the
county's Appeals Tax Court four
and a half years ago, took the
stand that coming matters were
up to the Citizens Association,
not a political group.
The issue of apartment Zon-

End of Cancer Deaths
Seen Within IS Years

NEW YORK, Oct. 81 (AP).-
Cancer as a killer will virtually
disappear in the next rs years,
a cancer researcher predicts.
Long before the year 2034.
the mortality from most II not
all kinds Of cancer should be
zero or near that figure, DR..
Paul Steiner Of the University
Of Pennsylvania said yesterday
Diseases are controlled in
populations either by preven-
ton or cure" he told a cancer
symposium marking the 18th
anniversary of the Sloan-Ket-
tering Memorial Center for
Cancer and Allied Diseases.
"If cancer should become
controlled by prevention, hos
pitfalls for this disease would go
the way of pest houses and
tuberculosis sanitaria :"
Proof Of Cause Elusive
Cancer statistics and the be-
havior Of cancer as a disease
can help point the way to pre-
vention and lead to the causes
of cancer, DR.. Steiner said.
An important problem for
cancer scientists now is just
what constitutes proof that a
certain agent causes cancer.
Once an agent has been iden-
titled. the problem Of what to
do about 1t remains. In small
isolated groups the agent can
be banned by law.
But the problem is more COM
plicated when it deals with a
mass cause Of cancer, especially
when the hazard is embedded
in the social and economic life
of many people. DR.. Steiner
said.
Opposition to legal measures
in the case Of tobacco and al
cohol is based in part on the
view that their usage is volun-
tary, DR.. Steiner explained.
Opponents say all that society
owes the person who exposes
himself is to make that person
aware Of the risk.
Example Given
"This ignores the fact that
these substances are habit
forming in a certain percent
age Of users and that the ad-
diets, also, cannot exert free
choice" he said.
In outlining the Importance
of cancer epidemiology, or the
study of the disease behavior

Wait Suggested
.InBabyvaccine
By ALTON BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Writer


ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct.
81. - Waiting until babies are
about 6 months old could be
the best time to give anti-polio
shots, a new study suggests.
Otherwise. the vaccine might
fail to protect many babies.
The reason is that the vac
cine curiouSly seems to be multi
fled by natural protection which
many babies temporarily in
herit from their mothers, the
research finds. When they are
S or 6 months old, they lose this
natural protection.
The findings, based on detailed
blood studies, we're presented to
the American Public Health
Association meeting here by
Drs. Gordon Brown and Pearl
L. Kendrick Of the University
of Michigan.
Salk vaccine, containing dead
polio virus, stimulates the
human body to create its own
protective antibodies against
future invasion by living, dan
gerous polio viruses.
But babies are often born
with antibodies against polio
and other diseases. They have
them because their mothers
had them floating in their
own bloodstreams, which are
shared with the infants before
birth.
Known as passive antibodies,
these antibodies protect for a
time. then disappear. The
baby has no more unless he
gets vaccines, or is invaded by
specific germs.
Babies born with high blood
levels of polio antibodies don't
benefit from Salk vaccine if it
is given too soon. Drs. Brown
and Kendrick ind.
Today many babies are born
with passive antibodies because
their mothers get Salk vaccine
during pregnancy a time
when women are particularly
susceptible to attack by polio.
