petitions and voter registration
cards in the files Of the Prince
Georges Election Board.
!. The detailed study is ex-
pseted to. be. the main punchi
in the cl1arterites' court fight
to get 4 home rule referendum
on the November 6 ballot.
A preliminary to anticipated
courtroom skirmises is slated
today in arguments on a char

Judgment in two suits pending
in Prince Georges Circuit Court.
If charter forces lose today, the
trial on the. two suits will start
next Thursday.
Fear Other Losses
Applying a Court Of Appeals
decision to the 3,011 challenged
signatures, the charter forces
say they stand to lose more
than 5000 other names on petit
tions. This will bring the tota
under the 10000 minimum
needed to get the referendum
on the ballot. d
The appellate court ruled Il
a Baltimore County school bu
referendum case that one in
valid signature on a petition
means all others on the shee'
must be proven bona fidt
names.
Attorneys for the election
board and charter workers have
agreed to the validity Of 4,27s
signatures submitted by the

Claim Notices
The election board. however
claims it has notified voters by
mail of all changes. Only one
has been made since October,
1861, and that was last July
when a new precinct was added
in Belair, according to Mrs.
Elizabeth Leitch, chief clerk of
the election board.
She noted that persons who
have not voted in five years
are dropped from registration
books, in accordance with the
law.
Women who marry are noti-
fled that their names have
been changed on registration
books, in accordance with mar
rage license lists obtained
from the court clerks office,
Mrs. Leitch said.

lustrates one way to become
an observer Of what's around
you. But there are other
ways that are lots of fun.
You don't need a $1,000 roll
of bills to see things differ
emily than you ever saw
them before.
You don't even need the
SIPS we paid out, because
any good library viii lend

1t isn't hard to read.
But it's guaranteed to
make you see things you've
never seen before, and to
think differently because of
the new things you've seen.
For example, have you
ever thought of a building
as a piece Of sculpture that
you can walk into and be-
come a part Of?
Did it ever cross your mind
that the shape of things you
see might have been fash

Because you are carrying
5000 in a thick roll of bills,
the city has become entirely
different than it usually is.
Your secret knowledge about
the money you carry has
changed the entire scene.
You are like a stranger in
town. You have more
thoughts about what's
around you than ever before:
Yet you are the same per-
son. NO richer, no poorer.
But you know you have that
roll Of bills. Right on the
street.
If you're well-to-do, it
could be your own money,
But maybe you're carrying
it for someone else. It
doesn't matter. The impor-
tant point is, you have it.
And suddenly the familiar
buildings, the anonymous
faces you pass are not the
same as before.
More than anything, you
have q sense of grave con-
Germ, of wanting to watch,
to observe. You may think:
Suppose / lose this money,
what then?" Or: Suppose
I'm held up?"
You glance around sharply.
You touch your coat quickly
to see that the wallets still
there. Or you grip your
handbag tighter.
Then you shrug. No one
knows about the small for
tune you carry. So why wor-
ry, why be concerned? Ha-
ha, you think. It's my secret.
You have a poker face.
Your thoughts are conceal
ed. But you are not fooling
yourself at all. You know
something. 1t has changed
you.
Fight it or not, it has made
you sharper, more percep-
tive, more alert to what's
around you. None Of the
streets you're walking on are
quite the same because, sud-
denly, the roll Of bills you
know about has made you
become a more alert OBJ

New Progress Reported
In Frozen Blood Banks

ogy by scientists Of the Linde
Co.. Tonawanda, N. Y.
DR.. A. P. Rinfret, the re-
search director who presented
the report and amplified it at
a news conference. said either
whole blood or red blood cells
could be preserved indefinitely
by the process in which liquid
nitrogen at 800 degrees below
zero is employed as the freezing
agent and a new type Of pre-
Servative is used.
Key to the new process is
the finding that albumin, a
protein obtained from human
blood serum, can be used to
protect the red cells so that
they may be frozen and thawed
with little damage. DR.. RinfreC
said a plastic material. poly
vinyl pyro-odidine, could also
be used as the preservative ma
terial.
He said the technique offers
certain advantages from a
military standpoint over the
only other misrepresentation
technique so far developed.
/ The older method employs
glycerol as the preservative,
and DR.. Rinfret said the gly-
cerol must be carefully and
slowly added before the blood
preparation is frozen and then
thoroughly removed before the
thawed-out blood can be trans
fused.
It's not necessary to do this
with the newer type of pre-
servative.

of the plant site. Doctors said
none was believed critically
hurt. The other injured re-
ceived treatment at Branden-
burg.
Poe Street, employe relations
manager for the firm, said the
noise of the explosion, which
occurred at $40 am. (EST) i,
awoke him at his home in
EliZabethtown.
How any of them got out
alive, I'll never know" he said
of the so men in the plant at
the time of the explosion.
Several of the 20 concrete
block buildings on the COM
pany's 100-acre layout we're
destroyed or heavily damaged.
Mr.. Street and Jim Troyan,
production manager, placed the
loss at several million dollars.
They said it probably would
take weeks to determine the
true amount of the loss.
A 10,000-gallon tank Of ethy-
lene oxide blew up and three
similar tanks exploded later at
the $40 million plant, Mr..
Street said. The compound is
used in making antifreeze and
a number of other products.

tamination or over-heating or
what set it off," Mr.. Street said.
At New York, an Olin Ma
thieson spokesman said serious
damage was limited to a minor
portion of the plant and that
most of it is expected to be
back in operation within 48
hours.
The accident was the first at
the plant since it went into

community II years ago. 1t en-
