Nuzis' Charter

RICHMOND, April 6 CAP).-
Gov. Harrison said today he
has signed a bill passed by the
recent General Assembly re-
voking the charter of the
American Nazi Party.

would have been preferable to
have ignored the group" but he
did not feel justified 'in sub
shutting my opinion and judg-
ment" for that of the Assembly.
The measure was sponsored
by Delegate Harrison Mann of
Arlington. where the American
Nazi Party has headquarters.
The measure led a stormy life
in the General Assembly, being
reported out of a House COM

passage in the lower chamber.
The measure revokes the
party's charter and provides
that no domestic corporation
can use the words "Nazi" or
National Socialist" in its
name.

Whatever the claims to SUI
periority of the Soviet educa-
ton system, even the Russians
admit they haven't licked all
the problems.
For example, a Russian edu-
Gator told last night about a
contradiction" being thrashed
out now by the Ministry of Edu-

Pedagogical Sciences between
two tendencies:
To modernize the school pro-
gram with subjects related to
the latest achievements in SCI
ence, or to cut down existing
curricula to give children more
free time for their individual
programs and allow more time
for individual creative work
and recreation.

Eight Democrats Vie for 2 Posts

Eight Democrats, with vary
ing backgrounds and degrees of
political experience, are run
ming for their party's nomina-
ton for Montgomery County's
two councilman-at-large seats.
The candidates-three of
them independents, and the re-
mainder Endorsed by some pri-
mary slate-are running with
widely divergent ideas about
what the County Council
should do with its extensive
local power.
The two seats are now held
by Stanley B. Frosh of Bethes-
da, who is running for re-elec-
ton, and william F. Hickey,
who is running for the State
senatorial nomination.
Mr.. Frosh, an attorney and
bank official, believes the coun-
Gil should continue past policies
which have put this county
years ahead of SO per cent Of
the counties in the country"
He feels that providing high
grade county services-eSpe-
cially IN education-has at
tracted and will continue to at
tract desirable industry to the
county and increase its tax
base. Mr.. FroSh is a member of
the Blair Lee ticket, and has
also been Endorsed by the
County Democrats slate.
The list of candidates also
includes a former president of
the County Council, Wilbur N.
Baughman of Olney, who is
running as an independent.
Mr.. Baughman, an attorney
and president of the county
Chamber of Commerce, feels
past progress has been good,
but that a re-evaluation of
the county government is in
order. He said the council
should be ready to make
changes for the sake of eff
cheney after the study is COM
pleted.
Frank M. AlligOOd, a Silver
Spring real estate man, and B.
George Ballman, a Wheaton at
torney, are coupled on the
United Democrats for Tawes
ticket.
Mr.. Alligood declined to
give his opinion on the most
important issue confronting
the council. He said he backed
all planks of the Tawes groups
platform.
Mr.. Ballman said the pri-
mary duty of the council should
be to search out ways of cutting
costs without cutting essential
services. He said the county
and school board budgets
should be examined in 1.-The
greatest detail" and that budg-
ct opponents should be given
time to present their cases.
Coupled with Mr.. Frosh on
the Blair Lee ticket is Edwin
Collier, a Silver Spring attor-
ney. who feels proper planning
is the most important county
concern. He said there are
many agencies now offering
plans for the county's growth
and that the council, respon-
sible to the voters for plan
ming, should exercise more
control over these agencies.

da subcontractor, is running on

Fairfax Fights
Measles Peril
Vaccine to Be Made
Available at 7 Points
BY WILLIAM GRIGG
Star Staff Writer

Fairfax County children next
month will be able to get free
protection that should keep
them safe from measles for the
rest of their lives.
The Virginia county's health
department and medical So
ciety announced that one type
of measles vaccine will be made
available at seven centers on
Sunday, August 5. Children over
/ year old who have never had
measles are eligible, If their
parents make appointments.
Appointment post cards have
been sent to physicians and
drug stores for distribution.
The program viii enable
county children to get the bene-
fits of a new vaccine that may
not become licensed for general
sale for months or perhaps one
or two years. The vaccine has
been made available free by the
manufacturer because the Gov
requires controlled, OBJ
served use of a new vaccine on
a community scale before it will
license the vaccine.
Fairfax's use will be the first
community use in the nation.
But the vaccine, made by Phil
lips-Roxane of st. Joseph, Mo-,
has been given by individual
pediatricians to 5000 Maryland
children.
DR.. Fred J. McCrumb, jr.,
and associates at the .Univer-
sity of Maryland School of
Medicine, Baltimore, developed
the improved technique which
will be used in Fairfax. in
which the vaccine is injected
along with gamma globulin.
Gamma globulin, a type of
blood protein containing a high
concentration of antibodies,
prevents the vaccine from caus-
ing troublesome reactions.
Even with the gamma globulin
however, 20 per cent of the
children may get a mild, one or
two day fever. Seven per cent
may get a rash.
The really important thing
they get, however, is immunity
- in about 81 per cent of the
cases - to all but German
measles.
The shots themselves will be
given by appointment from l
to 6 pm. August S at Grove
