The Army has fired DR.. Paul

questioned its actions.
The director Of the television
division at Walter Reed Army
Medical Center fought hard
last January to prevent a cut
back in personnel for the OPP
Grafton Of the division. He
failed.
But the office of the Army
Surgeon General indicated to
the press and others requesting
information that the Million
dollar television facility would
not lie idle and that, when the
budget permitted, personnel
would be restored
But The Star learned today
that "by reduction-in-force ef-
fective Is April 1861" DR..
Schafer will be out.
DR.. Schafer, in commenting
on the dismissal, said the CIR
cumstances should Suggest the
likelihood that other than a
simple fisca administrative
adjustment has been going on
at Walter Reed"

County Urged
IoStudySIums

The Montgomery County
Revenue Authority yesterday
urged an immediate study of
slums in the county.
The agency, which recently
completed an investigation of
its own. said it had uncovered
deplorable conditions in various
areas Of the county.
j. Ingram Medley, chairman
of the agency, asked the coun-
Gil to appropriate $25, 900 for a
study Of the problem. Federal
funds would pay a like amount,
he said.
Mr.. Medley said the study
should consider the possibility
Of building public housing units
for underprivileged families.
He cited overcrowded sIum
buildings and shanty towns
where no plumbing or water is
readily available as examples
of the need for prompt action.
Some Of the areas where unde-
sirable conditions exist, he said,
are Ken-Gar, Lyttonsville and
Scotland.
Council members indicated
they would consider including
such an item in the 1862 budg-
ct.
In coming action, the council
disapproved q request to build
high-density apartments on 20
acres on Pook's Hill road in
Bethesda. The group agreed
there was no need "for q three
fold increase in density where
there are already considerable
areas zoned for apartment use
in the north Bethesda area"
The council also proclaimed
daylight saving time throughout
the county beginning April 80
and ending October 20.

l3-Point Plan Voted
BY Foirfox Democrats

Falrfax County Democratic
Committee members last night
adopted q 13-point list OF
objectives calling for the aboli-
ton Of the poll tax, reapportion-
ment Of voting districts, more
modern fiscal policies and i'm
proved school and road facilities
in Virginia.
lOn more controversial ground
the committee split and then
tabled resolution urging repeal
Of the States right to work
law" and sharply disagreed
among themselves on whether
the committee should take q
stand on the candidacy Of
Alexandria State Senator Arrni-
stead L Boothe, who has an
nounced his candidacy for Gov
ernor in the July Democratic
primary.
The right to work resolution,
brought to the floor from the
Mount Vernon district, was
tabled only after five proxy
votes broke a 27-26 vote which
would have opened the question
for further discussion. The
proxies were cast by five alb
sentees from the Frankonia area
Of Fairfax County's Lee district.
Speaking in favor Of the
existing right to work laws were
Democratic office holders
Robert C. Fitzgerald, Com
monwealth Attorney; and John
E. Taylor, Fairfax County
sheriff. The two men both
made it clear that they were
not anti-labor but wanted the
State laws left as they were
in order to prevent further dis
sention among Democrats.

Army Fires Schofer,
Critic of N Cutbock

icenter was appointed by Gen.
Clement st. John, Walter Reed
commanding general. to steer
television policy.
1t was decided that the IA
cilities should concentrate on
support of military medical
education in the Washington
area.
1T was a universal opinion
among the committee and user
agencies that the artistic and
dramatic establishment Of pro-
grams holds no appeal for the
adult and professional scien-
tific audience" the statement
said.
For any shows outside the
military program, it was sug-
gested that those interested in
such productions should direct
the professional aspects and
write any scripts necessary.
Retain Technical Staff
The committees study thus
called. for a reduction of TV
personnel at Walter Reed to
only technical staff, and rec
commended abolition of DR..
Schafer's position. This was
approved by the Walter Reed
commanding general and later
by the Surgeon General.
AS to the film, Strike" Gen.
Heaton's office said DR.. Schafer
himself agreed that, it was a
training film and intended for
use only with an Introductory
reference and to be followed by
a panel discussion.
A New York Times critic
called the television film per-
hapS the best editorial drama
ever produced for television
1t is a fictional account Of the
heroics - and mistakes - of
civilian and military physicians
after a nuclear attack.
Film Restricted
Requests for showings have.
poured in from medical, civil
defense and other groups-but
Gen. Heaton has ordered that
the film not be shown with
out his personal approval,
which he has never given.
Gen. Heaton's predecessor
and former boss, Mai. Gen.
Silas B. Hays, suggested earlier
that If the Army could not
support the division, funds
from other agencies could be
solicited.
Gen. Hays established the
division five years ago. Now an
official Of the American Red
Cross. he said recently that the
money spent on the facility
could be amortized only by
long-term operation.
