An unusual outbreak Of strep
infections has swept Montgom-
cry County over the past five
months, DR.. William j. Peoples,
county health officer, said last
night.
The outbreak could lead to
an increased incidence OF
rheumatic fever in the county
This heart-affecting disease is
believed to be often caused by
strep infections.
February and March are
traditionally the months when
Streptococcus infections prevail.
But, DR.. Peoples said, this past
winter the outbreak began in
late November and continued
through April. 1t is beginning
to die down now.
Over a year ago Montgomery
County, in cooperation with
the United States Public Health
Service, started the country's
first pilot program to try and
prevent rheumatic fever.
The Health Department de-
veloped a swift test for the
dangerous streptococcus group
A bacteria. 1t is this type that
is believed to be a principal
cause of rheumatic fever.
Such a test is believed to be
important because if the strep
bug can be identified, appro-
pirate antibiotics may be given
to kill it and prevent possible
complications such as rheu-
matte fever.

By Strep Infections

From the beginning of the
program-January 81, 1859
through January, 1860, a total
of 1874 specimens were proc
eSSed by the Health Depart
ment with 70 turning out to
be Strep.
During this past season 811
specimens were tested with H27
turning out positive. This
means about 50 per cent were
strep.
Rheumatic fever and rheu-
matte heart disease frequently
follow streptococcal infections" A"
DR.. Peoples declared, thence
the concern that mild cases of
Strep do not pass unnoticed or
undiagnosed."
The strep situation in Mont
gomery County is generally be-
lieved to be found in like
measure elsewhere in the area,
however, the emphasis place on
the testing program is new in
the country.
The test is called the f1uo-
resent antibody Identification
procedure and positive dag
noSis is possible within three
to four hours. Doctors may
send throat swabs through the
mail in protective wrappings
to the Health Department.
Identification kits are avail
able to physicians on request

Waterfront Bill
Sent toCapita|
Draft Would Allow
Transfer of Title


way for redevelopment of
Washington's Southwest water
front has been sent to Con-
gress by the Commissioners.
Under the proposed legisla-
ton, the city would be permit
ted to give the Districts Rede-
velopment Land Agency title
to most of the waterfront land
between Fourteenth street and
Fort McNair. This, in turn,
would permit RIA to lease the
land to private investors to re-
build in line with redevelop-
ment plans.
The Federal Government now
owns the land on the Wash
ington Channel side Of Maine
avenue. Its control is split be-
tween the District and the
Army Corps of Engineers, but
the corps has agreed to turn
over jurisdiction of its two
strips of waterfront land to the
city.
Decision Reversed
The District Commissioners
draft bill originally would have
permitted the city to figure the
value of the waterfront land
as a non-cash donation toward
its share Of redevelopment
costs. But, at the direction of
the Federal Bureau of the
Budget, the bill was amended
by the city to preclude this
financing measure.
City officials indicated yes
terday that the decision by the
Budget Bureau came as no sur
prise and that, under present
cost estimates, it would have
no serious impact.
Schuyler Lowe, head of the
Department of General Admin
istration, said that inasmuch
as the land is owned by the
Federal Government, he could
see no basis for the Districts
raising objections to the bu-
reau's position.
Meanwhile, a new proposal
to redevelop an 80-acre resi-
dental area in Northwest
Washington bounded by Mas
sachusetts, New Jersey, New
York avenues and North Capt.
tol street has been scheduled
to go before the National Capt.
tai Planning Commission on
June 16.
Approval Expected
The agency is expected to
approve the project boundaries
and send the plan to the Com
missioners with a request that
the city apply for a Federal
planning grant.
These steps will be taken
under agreement reached Fri
day at a Commissioners con-
ference with planning and ur-
ban renewal officials for a new
planning approach toward re-
development in the Second
Precinct area.
A general plan to redevelop
an 834-acre area in the North
west section in 10 years was
shelved, and the Commission
ers abandoned an earlier pro-
posed location for an initial

ming studies on the location

Until recently, DIR. Spit7
claims, his planetarium was the

able price-varying from about
$4,000 to $4,000 depending or
the installation - with high
performance capabilities. Al
though he understands a JAP
anese firm is now selling a COM
parably priced instrument, he
says the demand for his plan
etariums in the space age Is
greater than ever.
He has also branched out
into the manufacture of more
elaborate units, including a
full-size one for the Air Force
Academy and another for a

Uruguay. In addition he has

tually a passion with me only
after that" he claims. His doc
torate is honorary.
He strongly believes his
planetariums should do more
than introduce children to the
heavens or simply teach them
how to tell time or how to navi-
gate by the stars. He wants
them to get across a message
about the essential unity of the
universe.

Thousands of local young
sters will soon be getting their
first clear - and scientific
look at the stars.
Three new planetariums have
Just been installed in the
Washington area: At Cardozo
High School. Montgomery Jun
ior College and the Nature
Center in Rock Greek Park.
While not of the expensive
zeiss variety, they have enough
features to excite educators.
For they make possible effec-
tive, meaningful lessons in
astronomy.
The one at Cardozo has al
ready been used for a few
classes. 1t has clearly shown
its value.
Some students had not only
never seen the North Star be-
fore-they hadn't even heard
of it," reports Keith johnson,
supervising director of science
for District schools.
Public May Visit One
The planetarium in the new
Nature Center is scheduled to
go into operation on June 7.
1t is the only one of the three
which will be regularly open
to the general public-al-
though, even here, the program
will be specifically designed for
school children.
The projection instrument at
the core of these new plane
tariums is the invention of a
part-time Washington resident
who insists he does not qualify
as a professional astronomer:
DR.. Armand N. Spitz.
Before he developed the pro-
totype of the instrument more
than IS years ago, there were
only five planetariums in the
country, each one costing well
into six figures and a product
of the famous Carl ZeisS firm
in Germany.
DR.. Spitz, then a lecturer
at Philadelphia's Fels Plane
tarium, decided that it was
such an educational advantage
to have a planetarium that he
would develop an inexpensive
one for widespread distribution
to schools and museums.
His first instrument was de-
livered to Eastern Mennonite
College in Harrisonburg, Va, in
the fall of 1947. Since then DR..
Spitz, through his own firm,
has manufactured about $50
planetariums which are now in

unanimous backing among area
government and civic groups.
The committee has not dis
closed its exact intentions. But
it is known that considerable
attention has been given to the
desire of area communities to
have a say in the affairs of the
transit agency and to the need
for close coordination of trans
it and other area developments,
particularly new highways.
Local Plan Favored
1t has been reported that
committee members look with
favor on suggestions that the
agency be managed by a board
of directors which could include
representation of nearby COM
munitieS. Criticism has arisen
over a Budget Bureau proposal
to allow the President to create
a Federal corporation to oper-
ate transit lines if an interstate
agency, run jointly by Mary
land, Virginia and the District
is not set up within the next
several years.
Committee members are said
to be concerned mainly with
getting the preliminaries under
way, so that there could be an
effort to persuade the White
House to defer organizational
details for future legislative
consideration.
Four rail lines, operating
partially underground, are pro-
posed in a plan submitted last
year to the White House and
forwarded to the joint commit
tee. 1t will be up to the new
agency, however, to settle on
definite plans in cooperation
with other Government groups.
The agency would be en-
powered also to negotiate i'm
proved railroad commuter serv-
ice, another approach to the
congestion problem which re-
ceived backing in hearings last
fall and early this month. q.

fered to make funds available

legislation passes Congress.

House Unit Studying Plan
For New Family Court
Juveniles
Key to Move
For Merger
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star STAFF Writer


A House District subcomnit-
tee may propose that Juvenile
Court be merged with the do
mestic relations branch of Mu-
nicipal Court.
A recommendation that this
Family Court be established is
now under serious considera-
ton, according to the subcom-
mittee chairman, Representa-
tive Davis, Democrat of
Georgia.
"The Family Court plan
seems to have merit and we're
going to examine it very care
fully" Mr.. Davis said yester-
day.
New Judgeship Planned
A Senate-passed bill to add
two judges to Juvenile Court
has languished in the House
District Committee. Mr.. Davis
subcommittee held hearings
last December on various legis-
lative remedies for the courts
overcrowded docket.
1t was also learned yester-
day that consideration is being
given to combining the Family
Court proposal with these rec
concentrations:
The Family Court would have
five judges-one new post
along with the three judge
ships in the domestic relations
branch plus the Juvenile Court
judgeship.
In addition, the new court
would have one or two REF
erees," who would hear some
cases and recommend deci-
sions to the judges.
Decisions Not Made
Mr.. Davis confirmed that this
referee proposal also is under
study, but emphasized that no
decision has been made on the
Juvenile Court question.
Were considering every
angle of the Juvenile Court
problem, and we're not in a
position now to say what will
come out of it," he added.
Mr.. Davis said he will try
to get his subcommittee to-.
gether soon to discuss this
question.
Juvenile Court Judge Orm
w. Ketcham has insisted that
his caseload calls for two ad-
ditional judges. The bill passed
by the Senate is backed by the
Commissioners.
In the past, Mr.. Davis has
maintained that the answer to
the Juvenile Court problem
might we'll be to strip away its
jurisdiction over adult cases,
rather than expand the bench.
Included in this category are
criminal non-support cases and
those involving charges of con-
tributing to the delinquency Of
a minor.
Not New Ideas
The domestic relations
branch of Municipal Court
was established several years
ago to relieve Federal District
Court of such civil family-type
cases as divorce and adoptions.
The Family Court proposal
for Washington is not new, and
this single court to deal with
civil and criminal family cases
repeatedly has worked success
fully in other cities. The Family
Court supporters include, as a
general rule, the professional
social workers.
Any recommendation by Mr..
Davis subcommittee stands an
chance of indorse-
ment by the full House District
Committee.
But any Juvenile Court Bill
which would have to go to
this late in the Ses-
sion stands little chance Of
passage.

cause the joint committee was

Senator Bible last week de-
clared himself strongly in favor
of mass transit development
In a statement to the Senate
Banking Committee, in which
he supported national transit
legislation, he said expanded
transit facilities are essential
to combat growing highway
congestion in the Nations S
cities.
Other Cities Agree
A subcommittee of the bank
ing group heard testimony by
officials from a number of
major cities to the same effect.
The country's largest cities are
either already expanding rail
transportation service or have
recently formed organizations

pansion, the subcommittee was
told.
The representatives were
from New York, San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chi

The transit plan here is being
strongly supported by the

Mr.. David BOtnlck, q student
teacher at Kent State now
working with Mrs. Carlotta
Schwartz's pupils at Chambers,
encouraged the children to
write and produce q puppet
show of their own.
Nine of the children went to
the North Branch Library and
obtained a large number of
fairy tale collections, from
which they decided, after much
reading and discussion, to sell
ect two stories: tom Thumb"
and "The Bird, the Mouse and
the Sausage"
Then they proceeded to write
their own plays, based upon
these two tales. In the mean
time, certain puppet charac-
ters were made by the children
themselves, to be used along
with some puppets which Mr..
Botnick already had. Then
casts for the two stories were
selected, and a solid month of
rehearsals began.
"Tryouts" for the plays took
the form of performances of
their show before their own
schoolmates at Chambers, who
enjoyed them very much. The
children then rented a bus,
and took off one morning for
an all-day trip to Akron (for
sightseeing) and Kent State.
After seeing many of the
sights of Akron Goodyear,
Mothers Cats, the dirigible
hangar, the Soapbox Derby
hill, the Rubber Bowl, and so
on-the youngsters arrived in
Kent in time to eat their lunch
es in tn cafeteria of the uni
versity's Student Union. Then
they performed their plays, be-
