nature" and should not include
the reading Of the Lords
Prayer or the Bible.
DR.. Albohm said that, under
the circumstances and in accord
with the Supreme Court deci-
sion," he opposes the present
policy under which each school
principal determines whether
to hold religious exercises.
No Survey Made
Although no survey was
made, the practice of conduct
ing religious exercises in Alex
andria public schools apparently
was rather widespread" he
said.
He added, The Supreme
Court decision is not to be
equated with hostility to reli-
gion. The Bible may be used as
source material in art, music,
poetry, history and literature"
The Falls Church School
Board two days ago banned
Bible reading and the Lords
Prayer from classroom use. At
the same time, the board agreed
that the directive should be
interpreted as neither preclud-
ing nor encouraging brief peri
DDS Of silent contemplation.
In nearby Maryland, the
Prince Georges County School
Board and its superintendent
have taken no action. The
policy has been to leave opening
ceremonies to the discretion of
individual learners. The Mont
gomery County School Board
expects to take up the matter
at its meeting Monday night.

Airline Pressure

Denied by CAB
By the Associated Press

Chairman Alan s. Boyd Of

denied yesterday his agency in
any way exerted pressure on
commercial airlines serving the
Washington area to get them
to transfer flights from Balti-
more's Friendship Airport to
Washington's new Dulles Air
port at Chantilly, Va.
Appearing before q House

Charles D. Crane, official Of
Baltimore's City Aviation De-
partment, and aides Of Sen
ators Beall, Republican Of
Maryland, and Brewster, DEM
ocrat of Maraylnd, had testi-
fled, Mr.. Boyd said he resented
what he called innuendoes and
implications by the preceding
witnesses that the CAB had
exercised improper influence on
the airlineS.
IT ask these gentlemen to
either put up or shut up" he
declared. q
II do not like to have my
character assaSsinated."
Committee Chairman VIII
liams, Democrat of Mississippi

he was confident the members
of the board were seeking tc
do their honest duty. Com
plants of inadequate service
by Marylanders arose aftel

Maryland planners have
enough coming petitions pend
ing to house 100000 persons
within, a quarter-mile radius Of
an intersection near the God
dard Flight Center.
This was disclosed today by
William j. Stevens, chairman
of the Maryland-National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Com
mission after a staff study Of
apartment development.
Mr.. Stevens said the study
included two areas in Prince
Georges County-Riverdale and
Greenbelt - which have been
the subjects of a large number
of rezoning applications for
apartment development.
The study was made because
"the impact and excessive
amount Of rezoning applications
in certain areas was over
whelming," he said.

lions have been filed to provide

position was expressed today by
its superintendent.
IN both counties the policy
has been to permit Bible read

not to make them compulsory.
The decision has been left to

Appropriate" Exercises
At a meeting of school prin-
cipals and administrators, Ar

Reid said that Bible reading
and the Lords Prayer are
banned but said teachers
should hold appropriate" OPEN
ing exercises.
He declined to define ZAP

be left to the discretion Of
teachers. Some teachers have
used poems and other narra-
tives for opening ceremonies, a
board spokesman said.
Mr.. Reid cautioned school
personnel that the new pro-

substantially similar to those
actually prescribed in the cases
heretofore decided by the Su-

!, Fairfax Bars Change
In Fairfax County, the
school board last night voted.

1919 board policy to make it
strictly conform to the Su-
preEne Court decision.
Board member Martha Cert
wagon said that while the
policy carried in Fairfax adj
ministrative handbooks does
not conflict with the Supreme
Court, it 'lacks clarity" and
should be revised SO as to
leave no doubts.
Teachers and principals are
doing things that quite unbe-
knownst to them presently are
unconstitutional" Mrs. Cert
wagon said.
School Supt. Earl c. Funder-
burk said he told a meeting
of school principals Wednesday
that "a prayer in unison is
probably out Of order"
T.
i No Conflict
James Keith, school board
attorney, said he found nothing
in board booklets and admin
istrative guides that conflicts
with the Supreme Court ruling
But Mrs. Gertwagen proposed
substituting moral and spiri-

education" in the title of a
subsection of an administrative
guide. Also, she suggested

Effect OF kicofin e
On The H earf

Inc main effect OF nicotine or
the heart parallels that of physi-
cal exertion, causing a rise in
the hearts output Of blood and
in coronary flow, DR.. william
Dock, Brooklyn, n. Y, said.
In an editorial in the current
Journal Of the American Medical
Association, DR.. Dock said
among a few sedentary men who
have normal blood pressure and
show no rise in blood pressure
when smoking, cigarette might
possibly substitute for exercise,
often praised as protection
against hardening Of the arteries.
On the other hand, he said,
in few men with severe coron-
airy disease, the increase in car
diac work due to smoking is not
accompanied by a rise in coron-
ary flow and "real harm is done
by smoking"
"Even in those in whom coron-
ary disease is minimal, other
actions Of nicotine +. probably
outweigh the 'packaged exercise
effect and explain in part why
men who smoke pack a day
die earlier than nonsmokers, and
die more often from coronary
disease" he said. "The relaxa-
tion due to smoking has
price,"
DR.. Dock drew his conclusions
from study he reported in the
(October) ANA Archives Of In
ternal Medicine in which the eff
feet Of smoking on the heart was
traced by means Of the ballisto-
cardiogram, a device for meas
uring heart output.
Although previous studies in
dicated a correlation between
coronary disease and abnormal
heart beat patterns detected by
this device, DR.. Dock said his
study showed that the most COM
monty found abnormality was
merely due to the relaxation Of
the patient when he begins to
smoke.
His finding does not disprove
the correlation between coronary
disease and abnormalities un-
covered by this smoking test,
DR.. Dock said.
It is not latent heart disease
but the type Of individual pre-
to heart disease that
Is revealed by the ballisto-
cardiogram, he said.
"In testing subjects, it is OBJ
yiouS that most men with this
reaction are tense and restless
when deprived Of tobacco for an
lour or more and are relaxed
n mind as we'll as in muscle
When they start to smoke" ac-
;ording to DR.. Dock. "Most Of
hem are highly addicted and find
I difficult or impossible to give
lp smoking. Any vascular
lamage which nicotine can cause
viii, therefore, be likely to oc-
,ur in these subjects"
The only abnormal heart beat
pattern produced by smoking
which indicates organic heart
disease was found almost ex-
,lusively in men with severe
:oronary disease, he added.

Infrured Photography
Used In
N edieuI Diagnosis

Photographs of the infrared
radiation which naturally en-
anateS from the human body are
being used as an aid In the dag
nosis Of various diseases, such
as cancer.
nfrared energy In the form OF
light invisible to the eye is emit
ted by every object with temp
erature above absolue zero, R.
Bowling Barnes, Phi. D., Stam-
ford, Conn.,, and j. Gershon-
Cohen, M. D., Philadelphia, said
In describing the technique In the
current Journal of the American
Medical Association.
Since the amount Of infrared
given off by the body depends on
its temperature, they said, a
picture taken by a special
camera reveals the surface
temperature of various parts Of
the body. The developed picture,
or thermogram, is In various
shades of gray, the lighter areas
indicating the hot spots and the
darker areas the cooler parts,
they said.
Differences In skin tempera-
ture can then be determined by
means Of a standardized scale,
they said.
Studies have shown that skin
everything concentrations of
blood, such as inbruises, or over
areas Of Inflammation or malig-
nancy, Is hotter than the sur
rounding skin, the authors said.
Thus, the thermogram can be
used as harmless test for these
conditions, they said.
Injuries also are clearly re-
corded by this method, not only
those confined to the skin and
soft tissue, but also those in
yolving deeper structures such
as bones and viscera, they said.
Since the emission of infrared
IS greatly influencedby
changes in the supply of blood
to the skin, they said, circulatory
diseases have been studied
through this technique and the
results Of vascular surgery have
been recorded with ''graphic
Clarity" they added.
The 1nfrared camera can re-
cord Up to 10000 'bits of temp
erature Information per full pic
-ure," the researchers said. De-
all as small as one-eighth Of an
.nch can be obtained from a dis
ance Of 10 feet, they said.
The pictures require no exter-
lal illumination or irridiatiOn of
he subject and are not influence
d by skin color, they said. The
picture can be taken In about 6
Q II minutes and the print de-
7eloped for viewing In 20 sec
'nds, they said.
AS IN all biological tests, the
stressed, data from all
ources must be correlated to
'btain a correct diagnosis.
