Firm Drops Suit
Against Building

A construction firm has with
drawn its suit against con-
struction Of a new Hyattsville
municipal building in return
for the city's pledge to en-
courage business through plan
ming and urban renewal.
The Boswell-Miller Construc-
ton Co. last August asked
Prince Georges Circuit Court to
halt the city's construction Of
a 5000, 900, seven-story munich
pal building on jefferson street
behind the Hyattsville Armory.
Building plans include space
for lease to the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co.
The construction firm charged
that taxpayers money should
not be spent. on a building to
be used in part for commercial
purposes.
ina formal statement, the
Mayor and city council de-
clared that "the proper method
of attacking problems of change
within the community is by and
through urban renewal, code
enforcement, and assisting pri-
vate investment rather than by
municipal construction of build
ings for rent except under con-
ditions of chronic and substan-
tial unemployment"

Negro Health
Problems Told

BALTIMORE. Jan. Q (AP).-
A study Of the States medical
education needs says serious
health problems exist among
Maryland's Negro population.
The Committee on Medical
Care, appointed by the Mary
land State Planning Commits
sion, also declared that there
was a lack Of incentive for
Negro students to enter the
medical profession. The report.
released yesterday, said Negroes
were discouraged because "in-
ternships, RESIDENCES and medi-
cal staff appointments are gen.
orally denied" to them.
The report said there was
"a gross shortage of hospital
beds for Negro patients" Ac-
cording to the study, 'it is not
uncommon to find mothers dis
charged within "a hours of
delivery"
The committee said the
Negro health problem is fur
ther accelerated by a lack of
knowledge regarding health
facilities which are available
to them and by the general
economic condition of the
Negro population which is not
conducive to good health.
The committee proposed the
State Health Department call
a meeting of medical and hos
pltal officials to discuss a low
erlng OF restrictions for Negroes
seeking internships, residencies
and staff appointments.

States Need
Of Doctors
Is Stressed

BALTIMORE. Jan. 2 (AP)
Maryland medical colleges
will have to graduate 40 per
cent more physicians in 1871
than they did last year if the
State is to keep pace with the
growing population.
Findings, summarized in a
report released yesterday by a
subcommittee of the Committee
on Medical Care of the Mary
land State Planning Commits
sion, showed the State will
have to graduate 282 doctors
in 1871 compared with the 100
graduated last year.
The report suggested three
possible solutions to the prob
lem:
l. Open a third medical
school.
2. Establish a two-year school
Of basic medical sciences in
one Of the States colleges.
3. Enlarge the first year
classes of the Johns Hopkins
and University Of Maryland
Medical Schools beyond the
expansion already planned.
The report indicated the
second suggestion possibly
would be the best. 1t pointed
out that many vacancies occur
in medical colleges at the third
year level as drop-outs occur.
The report further said such
a two-year school could serve
students seeking a doctor of
philosophy degree as we'll as
those interested in an MD.
Location of the two-year COL
lege also was discussed in the
report, although no conclusions
were drawn. There were indi-
cations, however, that Goucher
College might be the best.

"The computer has a mem
ory where it stores informa-
tion," explains Jim Peisel, II.
Confident About Children

DioI-o-Substitute Plan
Tried Out for Teachers

Electronics will make it
easier now for teachers in II
Montgomery County schools to
get substitutes whenever they
are i'll or need to be absent
from classes.
AS a pilot project, the county
Board of Education has ini-
tiated this week what might
be called an automatic dial
a-substitute" plan.
1t shifts responsibility for
getting the substitute from the
teacher to the school admins
tration staff.
All the teachers have to do
Evening star., 1962-01-02

is telephone a special number
at any time, day or night
and give their names and when
they expect to be absent.
A newly-installed electronic
secretary" records this infor-
nation on tape so that it can
be rnonitored later by admin
istration personnel. The latter
then call substitutes.
In its first test before re-
opening of schools today after
the Christmas holiday, the
school staff found 16 such
messages and obtained substi-
tutes promptly.
The new system, operating
for the present only in the
Rockville area, is beneficial
both to teachers and their
substitutes. the school board
claims.
Under it. teachers who feel
under the weather or who
must be absent for any reason
no longer have to 60 through
the time-consuming chore of
calling one substitute after
another until they find one
who is available.
Neither do those on the sub
stitute teacher list have to be
bothered more than once by a
telephone call.
The staff of DR.. William A.
Early. director of school per-
sonnel, believes it can find SUBJ
Stitutes more efficiently, thanks
to the automatic recording de-
vice and quick access to a list
OF more than 800 substitutes.
The teacher, while relieved of
the responsibility of finding q
substitute, still has to explain
the absence later, in written
form, in accordance with the
school systems sick or emer-
gency leave policies.
For the rest of this school
year the project will involve the
following schools: Richard
Montgomery High School, West
Rockville and Broome Junior
High Schools and Hungerford.
Lone Oak, Maryvale, Meadow
Hall, Park Street, Travilah,
Twinbrook and West Rockville

TREMENDOUS MORON
Pupils Learn Computer Thinking
BY HARRIET GRIFFITHS
Star Staff Writer

Sophisticated math pupils at
Rosemary Hills Elementary
School are tackling computer
programming now.
If that floors some of their
elders in figurative sense, it
literally sent instructor Marvin
Wofsey to the deck once.
Demonstrating that a COM
puter is a tremendous moron"
that must be told in precise de-
tail what to do, or programmed,
Mr.. Wofsey pretended he was
a robot being instructed by the
children to walk over and pick
UP a pencil.
Minute Instructors
With a human being, it would
have been simple. But with a
robot it became surprisingly
complicated. Mr.. Wofsey turned
mechanical man had to be
told: Put the weight on the
right foot raise the left foot
two inches . move it forward
six inches . and so on, for 81
moves.
Omission of one detail, a mat
ter of telling the pretended
robot to put his weight on the
left foot before lifting the right,
triggered disaster. Mr.. Wofsey
tumbled.
"You have to tell a computer
every little STEP" explains June
Weldman, IL. People think of
it as a mechanical brain. But
the programmer is the one with
the brains. not the computer."
Besides teaching the children
at the school, Mr.. WofSey has
taken them to American Uni
versity, where he is assistant
manager of the electronic data
processing laboratory and also
a lecturer, to see and operate
some of the big machines.
9 to IL Years Of Age
The pupils are in a special
math class at Rosemary Hills.
which is plotting the ungraded
system in the upper elementary
level in Montgomery County,
They range in age from 9 to II.
The school approached Mr..
Wofsey, who started teaching
computer programming to high
school students in the county
three years ago, in quest of
something new and stimulating
for the special math pupils in
addition to their regular class
room math.
1--WE wanted something that
would be new and beyond what
they would normally be get
ting" says Mrs. Selma Posner,
math and science teacher. I'VE
think this should help with
reasoning and thinking, getting
them more at home in math
and stripping off rote thinking"
This is one of the things
we are able to set in motion
much faster because of our
nongraded organizations"
observes DR.. Edda Larimore,
the school principal. Il hope
this training will spill over on
their other areas Of study"
Greeting Backfired ,
Mr.. Wofsey first determined q
that the students readily un-
derstood binary mathematics.
In fact, when Mrs. Posner +
wrote a greeting for the chill
dren in binary code, the pupils c
promptly caught her up. She I
had spelled out "Metty Christ /
mas" c
The Rosemary Hills students,
so far as Mr.. Wofsey knows, I
are the first elementary school v
children to undertake such a n
course as his. Already, the
students are speaking knowl-
edgeably of computer technique
and flow charts.
