Apartment Fire
In East RiverduIe
Damages 4 Units

A three-alarm fire today
caused an estimated $4,000
damage to four units in the
Tenpleton Manor apartments,
East Riverdale, Md.
Twelve Prince Georges
County fire companies re-
sponded to the blaze and were
able to keep it from spreading
to two other apartments in the
building at 5614 Fifty-seventh
avenue and other structures in
the apartment development.
The fire apparently started
in the kitchen of a first-floor
apartment, spread upward to
the top floor and went through
the roof, according to County
Fire Marshal Lawrence r.
Woltz. He said the cause Of the
fire has not been determined.
Mr.. WoltZ said apartment
units not touched by flame re-
ceived smoke damage. Neither
the occupants of the apart
ment where the fire originated
nor Of the one overhead were
at home when it started about
10:30 am.
The fire was discovered by
Robert Sidney. a resident of the
building, as he was coming out
of his second-f1oor apartment.

the recruiters made personal
and television appeals.
OF those now taking civil
service examinations, 424 live
in the Washington area and
844 in other States.
On the surface, it seems the
department should have no
trouble filling its quota from
this number. But past per-
formances indicate that only
40 per cent will pass the tests
After that it gets even more
rugged as the applicants are
checked physically and for
character. When that is done,
only IL to Is per cent will
remain.
Other considerations, such as
applicants changing their
minds. will further reduce the
potential. y.
So it is touch and 60 that
the force will get its needed
$50 recruits. but Chief Murray
at least is hopeful.

It is largely in these two COM

couldn't accept the fact that doc
tors would use their knowledge
to hurt people or to regard hui
man beings as guinea pigs. But
then l learned I would lose my
leg - or even my life in a med
ical experiment"
Before the birth of Christ, in
fact, 400 years earlier, Hippoc-
rates, the Greek physician, wrote
his oath for all doctors. The
Greek physicians had succeeded
in raising medical treatment to
the highest possible level ever
attained in ancient times.
But the complete moral coll
lapse of man during the last war
made mockery of the cherished
progress. Therefore, because the
German doctors claimed they
were ordered to do the inhuman
butchery, this change was includ-
ed in the oath:
g.. even under threat I will
not use my knowledge against
the will of any person"
When the tide turned against
Germany and it looked as if she
might lose the war, frantic
search was made in the concen-
tration camps for any of the hui
man guinea pigs who survived
the experiments. The Nazis want
ed all evidence of the operations
and tests destroyed.
Some of the survivors dug
little foxholes for themselves
under the f1oorboards in their
blocks and, with the help of other
inmates, managed to hide. They
lay there, feverish for several
days and nights, without food or
water, listening to the scuffling
of heavy boots overhead.
One victim said, do you know
what sustained us in those days
at Ravensbrueck? We wanted to
live long enough for the world to
know. We were afraid that there
would be no survivors, no one
left to tell -. the one idea that
seized me and never left me was
that people must know. The pain
and fever were bad. Far worse
was the agony that came because
these things could happen with
out anyone outside ever know
ing about them"
Where is the conscience Of the
rest of the world? Why are we
SO quiet?

.Do-nothing time |
termed necessary
for growing youth

The wheels of family living are
likely to sound some loud
screeches when the school sched-
ule has stopped and summer time
freedom is here.
The children Of the house want
to sleep late, dawdle through
their breakfast, and spend a large
amount of time in what looks
like aimless activity.
Before you decide this is a
messy state of affairs, and start
laying down the law, listen to
the advice of Miss Josette Frank,
staff member of the Child Study
Assn of America
children need time to waste"
she says. "But parents get ner-
vous if they see their children
doing nothing It's partly our Pur-
itan heritage which tells us idle
ness is sin. We deplore unsched-
uled time as a waste, and don't
realize idle time can really be an
b orption time, time Of
growth"
Another reason for parental jit-
tiers over idleness results from
the fact that life is son crammed
full of knowledge. "There is so
much new knowledge, more than
anyone can ever accommodate,

Provocative may not be the right word

Many free-faing conversation at home
