YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Lne-Sovinq Industry
BY SYLVIA PoRTER

Advances in science are I'M
pinging on our lives and stim-
ulating new growth in indus
tries. So, for today's column in
a series on significant eco
nornic developments. I inter-
viewed Charles ]. Haines,
chairman Of Chemetron Cor
poration. producer through
more than 100 plants here and
abroad Of industrial equip
ment, particularly medical
equipment.
@. PORTER: We're hearing
daily about advances in science
but how are the latest dis
coveries in. say, medical equip
ment, benef1ting the public?
A. HAINES: The time it now
takes to make a new piece Of
medical equipment widely
available Is q fraction Of the
time 1t took only 80 years ago.
Equipment that does not need
intensive field testing Is made
available to hospitals in a
matter Of months, instead Of
many years. This is Of tre-
mendous benefit to the public.
@. PORTER: How large Is
the medical equipment field?
A. HAYNES: Hospitals today
buy about 81 billion worth Of
supplies annually from $50
manufacturers and 500 distrib-
utors. There are about $500
hospitals and 1000 GONZALES
cent hospitals and homes en-
ploying more people than the
automo.ive and communica-
tions industries combined, and
the Government estimates we
need half again as many hos
pitals.
Q. PORTER: Your company
began manufacturing inhala-
ticn therapy apparatus when
important uses were found for
oxygen in the medical field.
What are some Of those uses?
A. HAINES: Oxygen is used
in the treatment of pneumonia,
heart ailments. bronchitis, tu-
berculosis. asthma and respira-
tory conditions. 1t is mixed
with other gases in the admin
istration Of anesthesia, and is
vital to postoperative care in
recovery rooms. 1t is a life
giver to many newborn babies.
Only 10 years ago all patients
were supplied with oxygen from
cylinders that had to be rolled
through the corridors. Today,
more and more hospitals pipe
the oxygen from a central sup
ply to patients bedsides and

Asked by the Commerce De-
partment for recommendation
which might help check the So
called dollar crisis" ATA
President Stuart G. Upton last
week listed four points-the
travel promtion idea as the
first one.
He called for legislative and
administrative action to waive
visa requirements wherever
possible and to otherwise sim
plify visa-iSsuing practices.
The Government also should
apply policies for promotion of
air freight services and q SIM
pli1lcation Of expert procedures.
His fourth point was q call
to revitalize national airport
transport policies Ito gain max
inum public advantage from q
strong civil air arm and to i'm
mediately reverse the present
deteriorating portion Of United
States air carriers in interna-
tional air transport competi-
ton.
"If fully implemented," Mr..
Upton said, "the program could
be expected to improve the
United States international
balance Of payments by over
$400 million annually, on the
average, over the next five

ton by Falls Church.
The federation announce
ment was made by Herbert E
Harris, president, after a 2-hour

At the same time, Mr.. Harris
said the federation would con-
tinue to press for a referendum
on the urban county plan.
Mr.. Harris said the urban
county plan was "an important
tool" in the annexation fight.
Mr.. Babson yesterday had
asked Mr.. Harris if the fedora
ton would give up it's referen-
dunn drive and concentrate all
its efforts on fighting the an
nexation by Falls Church of As
square miles of the county.
A joint statement after to-
days meeting said the two
men looked forward to "close
cooperation and an intensive
campaign against annexation. .
The Board Of County Su-
pervisorS recently decided to
put of a referendum on the
urban county plan until 1852
but the federation has ex-
pressed determination to petit
ton for a referendum this year
or early next year.
The plan would add another

which would request local serv-
ices from the Board of Super

In at least four of the schools,

the teachers more time for the

The proposed District sales
tax increase will bear harder
on a $5,000-a-year family
compared to similar income
groups in the suburbs-than it
will on a family earning three
times that amount, an official
report revealed yesterday.
The report prepared by the
District Department of Gen
eral Administration shows that
with the increase of from 2 to
3 per cent. the $5,000-a-year
family would move from third
place to second in the total
amount to taxes paid by similar
income families in the seven
area Jurisdictions.
No Move in High Bracket
The District family earning
$4,000 a year now pays less in
total taxes than any of its
neighbors. and the increase
would not move it from last
place.
The report, prepared for the
District Commissioners, as
sumes the $1,000 family has
four members, owns a $13,500
house and has $700 in per-
sonel property. 1t assumes the
$l5,000-a-year family of four
owns a $4,000 house and
$4,000 in personal property.

Hi-Boy Restaurant Ends
Exclusion of Negroes

A Rockville restaurant where
picketS have been protesting
segregation for two weeks has
ended the practice at the urg-
ing of the City Council.
The Hi Boy Restaurant
changed its policy last night
after the City Council, asked
by the restaurant to mediate
the race dispute. unanimously
passed a resolution calling for
opening of all Hi-Boy facilities
on a non-segregated basis.
Nathan Silberberg, Hi-Boy's
attorney. said the new policy
would go into effect immedi-
ately. The restaurant earlier
had agreed to be bound by the
recommendation of the City
Council.
The lawyer indicated he
would ask that trespass charges
pending against Is demonstra-
tors arrested at the restaurant
be dropped.
Picketing Halted
The City Council also asked
Negro and white demonstrators
to stop picketing. The Rev.
Cecil Bishop, a Negro minister
who has been a leader in the
protest, said the picketing has
been halted.
A scheduled Federal court
hearing in Baltimore on a re-
quest by six Negroes for an in
junction to restrain Glen Echo
guards from making trespass
arrests has been postponed to
await the outcome of the COM
missions meeting.
Lowering of segregation bars
at the Hi-Boy represents the
first victory for Negroes in a
three-front effort to end dis
elimination at public places in
Montgomery County.
Another Arrested
Other places involved are the
Glen Echo amusement park
and the HiSer Theater in Be-
thesda. Earlier, segregation in
Northern Virginia lunch count
ers ended after sit-in demon
strations by Negroes and whites.

on most items except food. The
Districts sales tax is now 2 per

property tax.
According to the report, the

now pays $275 total taxes, be-
hind Montgomery County, 1901
and Prince Georges County,
1882.
Total Tax of 1892
The increase, which has been
approved by the House. would
move it into second place with
a total of 1922.
The $15,000-a-year family
now in seventh place with $840,
would remain there despite an
increase to $500.
The Commissioners seven
point revenue program, ignored
by Congress, would also have
raised the lower-income family

ton, would have increased the
