The
Rambler
Looks Into
The Common Cold
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Last week I visited the Ma
tional Institutes of Health in
Bethesda to find out what
they are doing about the
common cold. The visit was
not to get free medical ad-
vice, yet my interest was not
altogether academic.
On Monday morning after
a night of coughing, I woke
up with a wet head. On
Wednesday my voice was al
most gone. I had caught cold.
When, I wanted to know,
will mankind be relieved of
this nuisance?
DR.. James W. Colbert, IT,,
in the Institute of Allergy
and Infectious Diseases, was
of the opinion that it will be
a long time.
He is a genial man in his
early 4Os and sympathetic.
IF you have some aspirin
tablets in your medicine cab
met, you might take a couple
when you get home" ne sug-
geSted. "They may give you a
little relief. Medication may
relieve symptoms but it has
no known effect on the
length of the cold"

population of $500 could be
reduced to about 5000 within a
period of Is to Is years. This
would be accomplished by
transferring the patients who
do not require mental hospital
care to nursing homes and
chronic disease hospitals.
DR.. Cameron based his
estimates in part on a survey
carried out at the hospital
about Is months ago on the
question of escapes. DR.. Came
ron said that security loop
holes stem from lack Of per-
sonnet, SubStandard or over
crowded buildings and errors
in Judgment.
DR.. Cameron told the sub
committee that he as superin-
tendent assumed final respon-
sibility for the key decisions
on increasing or reducing a
patients freedom of move
ment.
Security Defended
He testified that the hos
pitfalls maximum security ward
is first-rate. The problem stems
from security measures in
wards of less than maximum
security, DR.. Cameron said.
In answer to a question from
the subcommittee, DR.. Cameron
said there have been two es-
capeS from the maximum Sc
curity ward, one the result OF
human error" and the other
because the patient had some
how been able to obtain a key
A total of lat prisoner pa
tents" have escaped from the
hospital this year as of Octo-
Der 81. OF these, he said, 2e
still are at large.
None of the 90, he said, face
pending criminal charges in
the District.
DR.. Cameron explained that
prisoner patients" are sent to
the hospital for examination
after being found legally in
sane.

HE WANTED TO EMPHA-
SIZE that the target of the
cooperative program he is
administering is not the
elimination Of the common
cold but the reduction of
severe respiratory diseases
in infants and children.
It is thought that there
may be as many as 100 vi
ruseS that contribute to the
common cold Syndrome in
adults. Less than one-fourth
of these cause severe respira-
tory diseases in infants and
children. Those are the pri-
mary targets Of the pro-
gram.

The first five days Of life
are the most precarious. Life
insurance companies won't
give parents a policy on an
infant until after those first
five days. Then they will do
so without examination.

Briefed on Proposal

District Highway Director
Harold Aitken said the Mary
land planners had briefed him
on the proposal last week.
1T warrants serious consid-
Grafton" Mr.. Aitken said.
If the proposal does get ex-
tensive consideration, then
planning should "be carefully
co-ordinated," he added.
A lot depends on the reaction
to the Maryland proposal at
a public hearing scheduled
December 10, Mr.. Aitken said.
Conrad L. Wirth, director of
the National Park Service, also
said that a proposal to use in
terstate financing to build a
roadway along the Potomac
Palisades merited careful con-
sideration."
The feasibility study, by Will
liam F. Adams of the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, put the
STA million tag on a freeway
from the Capital Beltway to
the District line. 1t would con-
meet to a previously studied
freeway which could run along
the Potomac River, connect to
the proposed Rosslyn-George-
town bridge down stream from
Key Bridge, then connect to
the Inner Loop.
The Montgomery County
District freeway could have
two advantages, if it was &C.
cepted by the multitude of
planning, park and highway
agencies: /. 1t could provide
normal interstate financing for
a long-planned Potomac River
highway, and 2. 1t could pro-
vide a substitute for the Wis
conSin avenue corridor.
Hearing December 10
The park and planning COM
mission last month ordered the
feasibility study, and scheduled
a public hearing at l pm. De-
cember 10, at its offices in Sill
yer Spring.

Playground Killing
Is Laid toYouth> II
Cut Finger Leads
Police to Arrest
Student Suspect

A cut finger led to the arrest
of a l7-year-old Cardozo High
School student yesterday in the
fatal stabbing of Larry A. PeayA
also II, in the Park View play
ground.
Capt. George r. Don a hue,
chief of the homicide squad.
said the boy admitted the stab
bling after detectives n oticed
the cut on the index finger Of
his right hand and questioned
him about discrepancies in sto-
ries he told under questioning
Sunday night and again vest
erday.
The youth, who had been a
friend of Larry Peay's for
about a year. is charged with
homicide and was to be ar
raigned today in Juvenile
Court. He had been under
police Interrogation as the last
person known to have seen the,
Peay youth alive. :
The arrest came 80 hours
after the body of the Peay,
youth, who lived at TAB Rock
Greek Church road NV, was
found on the baseball diamond
of the Park View playground
about 2 blocks from the house.
There were Is knife wounds in
the body and police found a
trail OF blood leading away
from the body.
Trail of Blood :
Juvenile squad detectives
said the suspect, an orphan
being cared for by an elder
sister, had no previous police
record. He had dropped out Of
school but this fall returned to
the ninth grade at Cardozo. The
Peay youth, also a former
dropout. was a student at Bell
Vocational School.
Capt. Donahue said the two
boys and Hugh Flucas, %. Of
1910 Monticello avenue NE.
went out Saturday night for "a
night on the town." which
turned out to be a flop.
They drove around Washing
ton in taxicabS looking for par
ties to crash. They found one,
but it was a college-age group
and they decided to skip it.
They dropped by a night club
next, but it was closed. They
: had only two cans Of beer left
from two six-packs.
Mr.. Flucas said he left the
two at about 2 am. Sunday at
Georgia avenue and Irving
street NV. after they decided
to call it a night.
The suspect gave detectives
the following story of what
happened next:
He walked the Peay youth to
his house. but then aske d,
How about walking me half
way homer" The two walked to
the playground, which is about
hallway, where young Peay
said, Come on man, let's get
some REFERS"
Tells of Struggle
The accused youth said he
told Peay he didn't want to
smoke any REFERS. Peay began
to call him chicken" and the
youth starte d to walk away.
But Peay grapped his shirt,
ripping it and then drew a
pocket knife. the accused youth
said.
Young Peay swung the knife
at the youth and cut him on
the finger. The two boys
Scuffled and Peay dropped the
knife and the other youth re-
covered it.
The youth told police he
then stabbed at Larry many
times" but thought he only hit
the other boy only four or five
times.
icide detectives, who
conducted extensive interviews
in four-block radius of the
Staying scene, today were still
searching for the knife.
The youthful defendant was
turned over to the Juvenile
Squad, fingerprinted and taken
to the Receiving Home where
he spent last night.

ConsuItonts to Review
Palisades Freewoy Plan

The possibility of building a
freeway along the Potomac
Palisades between Montgomery
County and Georgetown will
be studied by a consulting firm.
the Maryland highway director
said today.
John B. Funk, chairman
director of the Maryland State
Roads Commission, said the j.
E. Griener consulting firm,
which is making a study of a
freeway route along the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad to Silver
Spring, also would make a
review of Wisconsin avenue
transportation alternatives.
Included with the review of
alternatives will be a proposal
to use interstate highway funds
to finance a freeway or a free
way built to parkway standards
along the Potomac River in the
District, Mr.. Funk said.

Details Released

Further details on the Mary
land porto nof the proposed
Potomac Palisades freeway
were in a report released yes
terday by the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
The report said the Mary
land portion of the freeway
would cost ia million.
Mr.. Funk said he hadn't had
time yet to study the report,
and thus was "in no position
to comment on it,"
The North Central freeway
along the railroad tracks to
Silver Spring is a "bread-and-
butter" route with high prior
ity, he said.
But Montgomery County
needs more than one freeway
access to the District, and Ito
put all your eggs in one basket
is a very bad thing" Mr..
Funk said.

The fourth is associated

grams, II university labora-
tories and five pharmaceu-
tical firms are under con-

At Washington Children'S

children have been screened.
In co-ordinating the work,
NH is using an administra-
tive method developed by
the military, Porting. The
capital letters stand for
program evaluation and re-
view techniqueS. Porting is
credited with speeding the
development of the PolariS
missile.
DR.. Colbert pointed to two
large charts on his office
wall. One was a job break
down showing every step of
the work that will have to be
done on the various strains
of viruses. The other was a
"flow" chart showing where
the work is under way.

Friction between the Pentas
gon and NASA on space acttv-
tiles apparently has reached
the point where Vice President
johnson has had to step in.
A meeting Of the National
Aeronautics and Space Council,
headed by, Mr.. Johnson. was
held earlier this week. After
the meeting the council issued
a brief statement announcing
that the group had discussed
coordination between NASA
and Defense on Geniini and
space stations"
The mere issuance of . state
ment was unusual In itself.
Like the National Security
Council, the space group nor
mally keeps It's activities out
Of the spotlight Of publicity.

dent johnson was quoted as
being encouraged" by CO.
ordination between the. two
agencies. But" 1t added. "con-
tinuing attention Is required
liz this country Ii to fulfill its
destiny rs the leading space
faring nation"
Serious Rift Indicated
The extent Of the rift be-
tween NASA and the Pentaeon
over the two-man Gemini space
flight program and the issue Of
near-earth space stations could
not be determined precisely.
However, the fact that Mr..
Johnson's Space Council had to
step in was viewed % an omi-
nous sign. The Pentagon and
NASA are supposed to handle
all but the worst frictions ct q
level below the Vice President.
Last. January, when Defense
Secretary Mcnamara approved
a role in Project Gemini for the
Air Force, o special co-ordinat-
ing group was set UP. This
"Gemini Program Planning
Board" has as its co-chairmen
lNASA's Associate Administra-
tor Robert c. Seamans and Air

Festival Smoker Draws Big Crowd

The Boxing and Wrestline smoker held during the King Crab Festlval was so enthusiastically re. celved and proved so successful that another is in the works for the Fourth of July celebration here according to Tom Gallagher of the Polar Bear Cafe who handles such events in this area.
 Golden Gloves AAU Champion Of Alaska, Keith Willard, POO lbs. scored TKO in the second round Of his bout with 19O pound chal- lenger Jim Urioste.
 R. J. Robinson's one pound ad vantage over 160-pound Dave Swan. lgan brought in a victory as did Hal Wears 2-pound advantage over 174- pound Mike Smith.
 However David Freeman's 150 pounds proved no match for Bob Mantx's 151.
 Winner Dickens and runner.up Ron Zauche met on exactly equal terms at 147 pounds.

Resulting in draws were two matches which saw Little Rocky Valley meet "K.O." Selig, both in the 90 pound class, and 'Chignik Sanguinetti battle with "Kalsin Creek" Olsen.
