sles vaccine and, three to five
days later, an intramuscular
injection Of gamma globulin.
OF this group, 143 or 81 per
cent were successfully immu-
nized without many significant
reactions.
The study showed that the
vaccine modified by gamma
globulin was Just as potent an
immunizer as that given with
out the globulin. "Standardiza-
ton of the procedure to assure
a high degree of effectiveness
should not be difficult" the
researchers said.
The vaccine-with and with

Senate Unit
OKs Bill for
3,O0OPoIice

The Senate District Commit
tee today unanimously approved
a measure increasing the Met
ropolitan Police Force to 5000
men.
The action followed a recent
upSurge in crime and was one
of the recommendations given
to the committee by Police
Chief Robert v. Murray.
Also approved at today's
meeting was a bill which abol-
iSheS the mandatory death pen
atty in first-degree murder con-
victions. The bill provides that
a jury can recommend life i'm
prisonment instead of death.
If the jury is unable to agree
on a penalty, the sentence
would be left up to the judge.
The bill was recommended
by the District Law Enforce
ment Council as one means
of combating local crime. It
is felt that more convictions
will result if the judge and
jury have a wider choice on
punishment.
However, the committee took
no action in respect to two
other recommendations of the
Law Enforcement Council which
had asked for legislation clari-
flying the Durham and Mallory
decisions.
Senator Bible, Democrat of
Nevada and chairman of the
committee, also announced that
the committee is studying Ju-
venile Court legislation. He
said he was hopeful the man
power" at the court can be in
creased at the earliest possible
date. He has introduced a bill
which calls for two more judges
at the court.

runsit Strip
TOT Baltimore

The Prince Georges County
commissioners today expressed
their willingness to approve a
median strip for express travel,
for trains, express buses or
reversible traffic lanes, along
a proposed third route" to
Baltimore.
But the commissioners en-
phasized that they will fight
to the bitter end" to prevent
the still-undecided interstate
Route 95 from passing through
the incest residential areas of
our county"
In a meeting with E. Darwin
Stolzenbach, administrator of
the National Capital Trans
portation Agency, they said
they would approve, in prin-
ciple, his request for additional
land acquisition to widen the
right of way for a median strip
for express travel.
However, the commissioners
took a look at a map of the
suggested area in which Route
95 may be constructed and COL
lectively hit the ceiling.
Promises Hard Time"
President Jesse L. Baggett
warned: "Our only concern is
the destruction of Prince
Georges by putting Route 95
through our most expensive
property. No agency is going
to tear this county apart with
a through highway to Balti-
more. You may do it, but
you'll have the hardest time
you ever had in your life.
I'VE are not going to let
theorists ruin our finest neigh
borhoods. We are just prac-
tical country boys who are
going to give you a hard time"
Replied Mr.. Stolzenbach:
I'VE do not construct highways.
We are a co-ordinating agency
so that highways and transit
planning will be done together.
All we ask from you is ap-
proval of the additional land
acquisition for a median strip,
and you can reserve your opin-
ion of the actual location of
the highway"
Suburbs Involved
The area to which Mr.. Bag
gett referred begins near Hy-
attSville and proceeds between
Langley Park and the Uni
versity of Maryland. Com
missioner Herbert Reichelt ex-
planned that the highway could
interfere with such suburban
developments as Avondale,
Michigan Park Hills and Lewis
dale.
Mr.. Stolzenbach promised he
would return to discuss further
details within two or three
months.

Life Out-of-Doors
Comforts Barry

When Barry's mother mar
ried the American serviceman
overseas, she had great expec-
tations.
Her new in-laws wrote glow
ingly of the life she would find
here.
But within weeks after her
arrival in this country her hus-
band was caught in a serious
crime. He was convicted.
And her in-laws offered no
sanctuary. neither in their
cramped home nor in their
lives.
Barry's mother divorced his
father and subsequently re-
married, but the move spelled
disaster for the boy. He was
often black and blue after
beatingS at his stepfather's
hands.
At last his mother went out
on her own again. She got a
job with a meager salary, put
the boy in a foster home and
helped pay for his support.
But to 10-year-old Barry it
all means one thing. His mother
doesn't love him and never has.
His real father cared so little
about him he went away and
never came back. And his STEP
father hated him.
Wary about making friends,
the handsome little boy has
had more than his share of
fights in school.
But hostility slips away on
rare visits to the country.
He adores everything about
life on a farm. He's not afraid
Of any farm animal.

coming to R-C (high-rise).
Mr.. Zipkins said he planned
to build the 50 million History
160-unit Van Dorm apartments
on the tract.
Backers of a proposed shop
ping center successfully opposed
the request, on the ground it
would block their center from
the view of passing Shirley
motorists.
The council denied the peti.
ton after Mr.. Knight and Mr.
Duncan said the new zonine
might boost the cost of pro-
posed road work through tht
tract. The new zoning had beer
recommended earlier by tht
city's planning commission.

BALTIMORE VOTE
DRIVE SUCCESSF

BALTIMORE Under the lead
ership of DR.. Lille M. Jackson,
NAACP branch president, reg
istration of Negro voters in Bal
timore is steadily approaching
par with white voters.
More than 100000 Negroes
enrolled. These voters now con-
stitute more than a quarter of
the city's total of 4O7 500 regis
tered voters. In 1855 there were
only 72,8OOcolored voters in Bal
timore. A continuing campaign
to enlarge this vote has been
conducted under auspices of the
Baltimore NAACP.
Negroes account for 35 per
cent of the city's total popu-
lation and 27 per cent of the total
registered vote. In part, this
is because a larger proportion
of Negroes is under FL years of
age than of whites.
The expansion of the Negro
vote has been accompanied by
a decline in the number of white
voters. In 1855 there were
$4,000 white voters. That figure
is now down to 299, 900.
Commenting on the rise of the
Negro vote, the Baltimore Even
ing Sun said: "It means an in
creasing participation by Ne
groes in the electoral process and
probably a rise in the number
of Negroes chosen for city of
flee. One hopes that it will also
bring a widening of Negro in
terest in general politics.
