PHYSICAL FITNESS
By LCpl Jerry L. Jorgenson

In past articles we have discus- sed briefly the importance of phy- sical conditioning, how it can be- nefit o~ daily lives and some of the important factors such as diet and rest that play major role in our physical fitness,
 Keeping these things in mind, i've can begin building a sodnd condit- ioning program based upon exercises that will most benefit muscle dev-- elopment and increase physical en- durance.
 Probably the most effective one exercise for all around condition ing is Push Ups. They are designed to develop the shoulder girdle. Push Ups exercise practically .ev- cry muscle in the upper chest, the back, the arms, the abdomen, and the upper thigh region. Themsc1es and their func are too nune1- ous to name and explain, but from time to time, they will be brought out in conjunc ction with various other exercises that will be cov- cred in future articles.
 The starting position for Push Ups is the front leaning rest pos- ition with both hands placed palms down at shoulder width on the deck and with the feet together thrust to the rear 30 that the body is he- Id perfectly straight and it's wei ght is istributedm the hands and toes. The body is lowered until on- ly the chest touches the deck then pushed back to the initial leaning rest position with elbows locked. This is one complete repetition. Remember, the body is always to be held straight thr oughout the exer- ci5eo

Malignant Plant Choking Future of Chesapeake Bay Area

at plots in Dundee Greek in
Baltimore county to determine
if the plant can be controlled.
His tests have basically in
cluded cutting the weed and
using a herbicide on it.
When applied to the test
plots in the latter part Of May
and early June. before the
plant flowers, the herbicide
has destroyed the plant.
Mr.. Rawls said it costs from
$50 to $50 for enough herbicide
to treat an acre of milfoil. This
does not include the cost Of
applying it. He noted that per-
mission to apply it must be
granted by the Maryland Wa
ter Pollution Control Commis-
sion.
Little is known Of the affects
the herbicide might have on
fish and shell life and expert
ments also are being conducted
in that field.
Mr.. Rawls believes there may
be some biological answer to
curtailment or elimination Of
milfoil. This could be the in
PRODUCTION of some form OF
plant or animal life that would
destroy milfoil.
But until that answer Is
found, milfoil apparently will
continue to thrive in the Chesa-
peake Bay area and close more
and more waterways as it seeks
more space in which to grow.
Evening star., 1962-10-07

acres of water in Maryland
have been affected by milfoil.
Many marinas and fishing
docks on such weed-choked
waterways are facing economic
disaster because boats cannot
easily reach their facilities.
The plant has infested the
Susquehanna Flats in Northern
Maryland, Maryland's Eastern
Shore as far south as Kent
Island near the Chesapeake
Bay Bridge, and much of the
western shore of Maryland
from the upper bay to the
Potomac. The plant is a prob
lem only in the Potomac tribu-
tarieS Of Virginia.
Only a few areas on the
western shore in Calvert and
st. Mary's Counties are free
of the weed, but its rapid ex-
pansion is expected to engult
them eventually.
It has spread so rapidly be-
cause it can be transported
from one area to another on
the propeller Of a boat, fish
ing line, or by animal and bird
life.
AS long as there is a spark
of life in a single sprig of
milfoil, it has the potential to
take root, grow and spread.

from a bit of vegetation care

Star Staff Writer

Someone discarding a plant
from a home aquarium into
the Potomac River half a GEN.
tury ago may have started
something that threatens the
recreational and economic fu-
ture of the Chesapeake Bay
area.
The bit Of weed took root in
the river and through the years
has spread to other brackish
waters in Maryland and Vir-
ginia.
It's unquenchable thirst for
space causes it to crowd out
other forms of vegetation, force
marine life to move elsewhere,
and make waterways impass-
able for boats and swimmers.
The sight of weed-choked in
lets and rivers leading to the
bay has become commonplace
to watermen, fishermen. swim
mers and boaters, most Of
whom refer to the vegetation
as, "seaweed."
Unfortunately, 1t is not sea-
weed.
1t is Eurasian water milfoil,
a thin-stemmed plant with
tiny, feather-iike leaves, grow
ing so rapidly in shallow water
that it forms q solid mat of
vegetation.

often are the first things peo-
pie On relief buy on credit.
Once the account Is opened,
more expensive items, including
furniture and household linens
as well as television and hi-fi
phonograph sets, are added.
One relief recipient bought a
smoker, a three piece living
room suite, slip covers for it,
three tables and two lamps from
the New York Home Furniture
Co. at 1915 Seventh street NV.
The balance is $518.27. When
her account was opened a year
ago she owed another store
$301.59.
She has not been asked about
credit buying by the District
Welfare Department.
Credit Comes Easily
Another woman has a balance
of $235.46 on a televiSion set,
a smoker and a steam iron.
She also has credit with another
store. She isn't in trouble,
either.
BY sheer chance, theirs are
among IA accounts not sold
by the New York Home Furni-
ture Co. to a Montgomery Coun-
ty credit firm. The credit COM
pany buys the furniture stores
accounts at % per cent less
than their full value and takes
over the collection. The fur
niture company, however.
agrees to make good the amount
the credit company paid if the
account falters.
The department is investi-
eating all those sold to the loan
company.

He has kept channels open

Charles RawlS, a research

PooIesviIIe Rejects Annexation Plan.
1914, as Only II Fail to Cast Vote

The citizens of tiny Pooles-
vile, Md, yesterday voted, 10l
to IA, to reject the request OF
developers, Bernard N. Siegel
and Charles H. Jamison, that
the town annex five square
miles Of adjoining land.
The annexation could have
exploded Poolesville's popula-
ton from 298 to as much as
$4,000.
The issue had created more
interest in the town than any
thing within memory, accord
ing to oldtimers. Only II reg
istered voters failed to cast
their ballots.
Poolesville's citizens ignored
the exhortations of large num-
bers on the main street-"Help
This Town; Vote Yes"-Pro-
ponents of the annexation
looked on the outcome as a
vote against progress.
Vote Saddens Mayor
Mayor Billy Bliss, an enthu-
siastic backer of the anneXa-
ton move, commented sadly
after the vote was tailed: II
think it's a shame, but that's
the way it goes. I'm afraid
that now anything toward pro-
gresS will be expensive and in
sufficient"
Mayor Bliss was referring to
the $175,000 municipal water
system planned for Poolesville.
The town fathers had been
hoping to get some financial
help from the developers.
Evening star., 1962-10-07

Mr.. Siegel has been accumu-
lating land for the proposed
development for the past 18
years. The Maryland-National
Capital Park and Planning
Commission staff has been
working on its plans for "radial
growth" in Montgomery Coun-
ty for the past two years.
The two concepts were in
head-on collision.
Under the planners proposed
year 1000 program, the Pooles-
vile area would be left a nat
ural resource area, with only
moderate development in the
present town limits. The Plan
ming Commission has not acted
on the program yet, however.
"VOters' Decision"
Mr.. Siegel commented that
"this was the town voters de-
cision." He added that plans
for the proposed development
still exist and they can be de-
veloped without being a part
of Poolesville."
Said Mr.. Jamison:
II think the town will lose
more than it is gaining. 1t S
heading back to the Dark Ages.
The citizens of the town have
given up their right to control
their own affairs and now are
controlled by the Maryland Ma
tional Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission"

and revealed records there
showing the extent of recipi-
ents' credit buying.
Most Of the accounts had
been purchased from the New
York Home Furniture Co.
After the newspaper stories
appeared, the Welfare Depart
ment asked the credit firm for
permission to check its records.
But the department has never
asked the New York Home Fur
niture Co. about its other
accounts.
Nor has it asked to see rec
ords of other firms, or launch
an overall investigation of cred
it buying and its implications.
Many of the records at the
Montgomery County firm show
that recipients had more than
one, and sometimes three or
four credit accounts.
Seeks Qualification
Milton Meckler, manager of
the New York Home Furniture
Co., insists he is the man in
the middle in welfare'S way Of
handling the investigation.
Mr.. Meckler said he has been
belabored by Sobbing women
since the investigation began.
They said the Welfare Depart
ment told them to take back
the merchandise or put it in
some one else's name or they'd
never receive another check,
according to Mr.. Meckler.
Mr.. Meckler has refused to
take any merchandise back un-
til the department clarifies its
policy on credit buying.
At first, he believed this was
imminent. Now he is convinced
he has been left holding the
bag.
Mr.. Meckler insists that a
perusal of one-month public
assistance checks would show
that a high percentage-he be-
lieves as high as so per cent

Johnson Gets
Edge in Poll
New Voters Beck
Rival of BroyhiII
BY ALEX r.. PRESTON
Star Staff Writer

New voters in nearby Vir-
ginia's 10th district appear to
be almost equally divided in
their preferences between Re-
publican incumbent Joel T.
Broyhill and Democrat Au-
gust c. johnson for Congress.
A pool taken by The Star
yesterday on the deadline for
registering to vote in the No
vember 6 election indicates that
the contest may turn out to be
more Of a "horse race" than
most observers had expected.
The poll was taken among
144 of the 381 new voters who
signed up at the central reg
istrars' offices in Alexandria,
Arlington and Fairfax.
So Favor johnson
OF those sampled, SO favored
Mr.. johnson, 46 favored Mr..
Broyhill and SO were undecided
or declined to state a prefer
ence. Broken down the results
we're:
In Alexandria, Mr.. johnson,
10; Mr.. Broyhill, 10, and unde-
cided, ID.
In Arlington, Mr.. johnson,
%; Mr.. Broyhlll, 81, and un-
decided, IL.
In Fairfax, Mr.. johnson, 10;
Mr.. Broyhill, IS, and unde-
cided, IA.
The results seem to indicate
that Mr.. Johnson has made
serious inroads into the strong
hold of Mr.. Broyhill who has
held the seat in the House of
Representatives ever since the
10th District was created in
1852.
1t should be noted, however,
that the sampling did not test
the sentiment of the older,
long time residents who in five
previous elections have elected
the Republican over Democrat
ic liberal candidates.
Reply by Party
One other significant fact
was that an estimated one
third of those who expressed
a preference replied they were
voting Republican" or Dem
ocratic," without mentioning
the candidates by name. Two,
in fact, did not know the can
didate'S name.
When informed Of the fig
ureS, both candidates agreed
that a change in the national
administration probably was a
factor in the favorable show
ing for the Democrats.

WITHOUT THOSE lines -
crowded beyond normal ca
pacity for years and now
squeezing in more paSsen-
gers every day-this fabu-
lous city would inevitably be
choked to death by cars, as
by bones in the throat.
Yet so beautiful was that
bridge which Mai. Bowler
dedicated-and so glamorous
the vista opened to everyone
by the automobile-that the
past was forgotten.
Not a penny more was
spent, from that time on, to
expand the subways. But
billions went for bigger and
more beautiful bridges;
longer, wider and higher
highways; deeper and more
far-ranging tunnels, and for
the red-carpet treatment for
cars, in general.
All this, Of course, was
not the fault Of the grand
father of Jacqueline Ken
nedy. When he made the
principal address at the de-
dication of George Wash
ington Bridge, Mai. Bowler
said, very accurately as 1t
turned out, that this bridge
for cars was "the triumph
ant expression Of our age"

Outsize Shame
And Honor
By ROBERT ]. LEWIS

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Peo-
~ pie in New York are the
same size as they are every
where. But everything else
is bigger.
Bigger buildings. Bigger
bridges. Bigger subways.
Even bigger cases of honor
and ingratitude.
Ever since Jacqueline Bou-
vier Kennedy's grandfather
got up and made that speech,
for example, the car has been
king in New York. And you
don't need to be here very
long to understand why.
Very clearly, the people Of
New York started taking
their Subways as a matter Of
course around the time Maj.
John Vernon Bouvier dedi-
Gated that bridge back in
1881.
Up to that time, New York
had been astounding the
world-and saving itself from
extinction by constructing
subways like mad.
In 20 years-from 1904 to
1924-New York built the
biggest subway system in the
world. It's 236 route miles

is mere speculation, but 1t was
in the Potomac that it was
first noted at the turn Of the
century.
It is known that the plant,
common to Europe and Asia,
has been used for years as an
aquarium decoration. Stores
in the Washington area report
it's use has been curtailed in
recent years because it did not
thrive in home aquariums as
well as other forms of vege-
tation.

Both Mr.. Halmos and Mrs

However" Mrs. Hall said,
'the town is not prepared at

Mr.. 1Ialmos explained that
the town has no protection"
by laws or coming ordinances
that would prevent the town
from being swallowed up" by
big development interests.

now will prepare itself for what
eventually must come"
Mr.. Halmos said he is conf
dent that an engineering study
will he made to determine just
what action is necessary to
solve existing water and sewage
problems.
He contended that Mayor

supporting the proposed annex
alton because of promises made
