The House yesterday, without

sent a $753,319 million Interior
Department appropriations bill
to the Senate.
Lost for the time being was
$1.2 million requested by the
National Capital Planning
Commission to purchase park
lands in Maryland and Virginia.
Also, the House refused to re-
store plans to construct a tun-
mel in the vicinity of the Zoo

The programs originally were.
knocked out by an Appropria-
tions Subcommittee, headed by
Representative Kirwan, Demo-

Senator Beall, Republican of
Maryland, has pledged a fight
to restore the $1.2 million. au-

Arlington Schools Hit

Mr.. Shelton insisted that

defective doors were Washing

The inspectors noted an abb

signs important.
Reporting that signs are be-

clared:

they are safe. And we are

By JOHN BARRON
Star Staff Writer

The Arlington fire marshal
has warned that some of the
county schools have inadequate
fire alarm systems.
In his most recent report,
Fire Marshal Leslie L. Shelton
also asserted that IL schools
were found to have doors which
stick or are otherwise hard to
open. He said they could con-
stitute serious hazards.
While conceding that alarm
systems in some of the older
schools "are not as good as we
would like to have them"
Assistant Supt. Edward j.
Braun today heatedly denied
that any are insufficient to get
the children out of the build
ing"
Mr.. Shelton noted that safety
conditions in the schools gen.
orally are satisfactory. But he
said his inspectors discovered
that the alarm in the older Sec
tion Of Washington-Lee High
School did not work at all.
He said that the alarm at
John Marshall Elementary
School could not be. properly
heard in parts Of the building,
that another at Stewart Ele-
mentary could not be sounded
from the lower floor and that
the one at darlington Elemen-
tary has to be operated man
ually.
DR.. Braun replied that since
school authorities received the
report early this year, the
alarm system at Washington
Lee has been repaired and bids
have been requested for re-
placement of the one at John
Marshall.
When and if we get the
money, we'll do the rest of
them" he added.
Concerning the doors, he
said:
ANY implication that we
maintain sticky doors is ridic-
ulous. Doors will stick now

EDITORIAL

EDITORIAL
EXPLANATION NECESSARY
AS OF THIS issue no comment has come from either the
Government or the Virgin Islands Corporation on the increas-
ed electric rates, as requested in an open letter by Warren
Brown, Unity Party president.
ORDINARILY, letters of this type go unanswered. Com
panies, corporation and businesses would be at a total loss to
find itself answering every letter or comment directed to. OF
raised about it. Unfortunately, many of these comments are
little more than gripes which have no basis in fact, or even
justification. Sometimes the institutions involved will reply
directly to the writer, trying to explain the situation.
BUT Mr.. BROWNS letter seems to pose a much more
serious and delicate problem. There has been an increase in
rates. This increase will affect each and every person in the
community. 1t can start a price war, the end of which might
not be in sight, for just as electric rates are increased, SO prac-
ticaly everything else can be increased to meet this cost, and
on and on we could 60.
ELECTRIC POWER, public transportation, telephone
service, and the like are public utilities. Private companies
run and control them, but they are done entirely for and on
behalf Of the public, getting its entire source Of income from
the services to the public. Since these services are rendered
only by franchise, these companies operate on a purely ex-
elusive basis, without competition. To protect the public the
government sets up a public utilities commission which SUI
pervises the services, and sees to it that standard and ac-
ceptable services are maintained One of the most important
functions Of this commission is to grant permission for rate
increases.
TO GET INCREASES the company seeking such in
crease must make application to the public utilities commits
sion. and then seek to Justify such increase on the basis Of
need. After hearing the evidence, looking at the books and
operations, the commission will do one of three things: u It
will grant the increase; ~ it will deny it; G) it will grant it
with notifications. All of this discussion is necessary because
of the way the increases were imposed, and the fact that
seemingly no steps were taken to arrive at such increases.
PUBLIC is entitled to know what is taking place
Perhaps the Virgin Islands is fully justified. Perhaps these in

All About Babies

infection and certain plant pollens and other airborne allergens are major causes, although foods may also cause these symptoms.
 The best treatment for allergy is to discover the allergen trouble maker, and to keep it away from the infant or child. In some chil- dren few weeks or months of avoidence will result in loss of sensitivity, and eventually toler- ance will develop.
 In some more sensitive children the allergens must be avoided for a long time, or indefinitely if symptoms are to be prevented. When this is the case with airb0rne allergens which are difficult to avoid, "allergy shots" are helpful. This consists of a series of injec- tions of gradually increasing strength to improve the child's tolerance, or decrease his sensi- tivity. Various medicines may also be given to control symptoms and to make the child comfortable.
 Very few children spontaneously outgrow allergy if they are con- tinually exposed to their allergens in any significant degree.
 Allergy is great imitator, with some of the minor complaints nor many other disorders, and which at times. do not differ much from symptoms which are common to nal healthy babies often have. It is important for mothr to report her baby's symptoms to her doc tor, who can help her sort out those which may be early signs of allergy, to forest all future trouble.

Eating Habits Of Americans Lag Women's Club Told

The actual practice of good eat ing habits by the American people is far behind their knowledge and leaves much to be desired. This observation was made by Mrs. Marian Lynch Kodiak Public School nurse, who spoke to mem bers of the Kodiak Business and Professional Women's Club at their meeting at the Island Foun- tain Monday evening.
 This was in contrast to their advances made in knowledge of nutrition, she said. Mrs. Lynch drew from her first hand knowl- edge of public health, and gave statistical reports on phases of that service. Some of the subjects she mentioned were changes in the control of communicable di- seases; the infant mortality rate and many other health problems. Her talk brought increased knowl- edge of public health service to her listeners.
 Mrs. Elsie Batcheller, Mrs. Ruth Breckberg, Mrs. Bernice Gregory and Mrs. Yoshi were introduced as new members.
