THE DAILY MAIL, HAGERSTOWN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1853. FIVS $75 Million March Of Dimes Goal Set For Drive Beginning In January The American people will be asked to contribute $75,000,000 to the 1954 March of Dimes next Jan- uary, it was disclosed yesterday by Mrs. Robert P. Conrad, executive committee chairman. This nun, Mrs.

Conrad said, rep- resents almost half again as much as was raised in last Winter's rec- ord-breaking appeal, -and will be needed in shifting from "defense to attack" in the fight against polio. "For 16 years," Mrs. Conrad add- ed, "the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis has fought polio' through its program of patient care, research and professional ed ucation. In a sense these were de- fensive, but now we have added an aggressive new fourth program polio prevention." These encouraging developments were revealed during a two-day regional pre-campaign meeting of March of Dimes chairmen and leaders, held in Washington, D. in which Mrs.

Conrad participated. "After years of exhaustive re- search," Mrs. Conrad said, "we now have gamma globulin, a tem- porary deterrent to paralytic polio. It was put to use this past summer in man's firsUattempt to alter the course of a polio epidemic. But GG is only a holding action." "Our highest hopes lie in an ex- perimental vaccine which other of Dimes researchers have 'developed.

Extensive tests for this promising new substance are plan- ned to determine if it will provide long-lasting immunity to infantile paralysis." "Greatest need for the immed- iate future is money to continue this advance in polio prevention. At the same time we must have funds to provide best of medical car? for everyone who is stricken," Mrs. Conrad said. "We stand on the threshold of the greatest victory ever achieved against infantile paralysis. We will try to enter the door in '54.

So we have made our slogan for the drive --'More in '54' "--Joseph Fl Nee of New York City, national director of fund raising the March of Dimes, told the volunteer campaign The great result of the 1953 drive --a new record of only provided care for the thous- ands of polio patients but made possible the widespread inocula- tions of gamma globulin during the epidemics of the past summer, Mr. Nee said. New polio cases, fortunately, have decreased this year from the all-time high in 1952. It was es- timated, however, that 66,000 polio patients of this year and former years will be receiving financial aid from chapters of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis by the end of 1953. Those attending the conference will begin at once to build their or- ganization and get ready for the fund raising campaign during the month of January.

One feature of this will be a "Mother's Ma'rch. on Polio" which is expected to more than double the number of 7,500,000 mothers who participated last year. The 200 delegates attending the conference represented the states of Delaware, Maryland, New Jer- sey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, East- ern West Virginia and the District of Columbia. Sessions were held at the Mayflower Hotel. ROUTINE CHECKUP BALTIMORE, NovrS Wl Oov.

6 W-FrarJt- lili Roosevelt D'Alesandro, dark, handsome and the son of Balti- more's mayor, yesterday was freed Of rape charges involving two girl cousins, 12 and 14 years old. An all-male Youth Court jury re- turned a verdict of innocent after Judge W. Conwell Smith told it: "If the case was submitted to me without a jury I would find a not-guilty verdict." When the acquittal was an- nounced 25 minutes later, Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro wept and threw his arms about the 20-year- old defendant. Young D'Alesandro then was em- braced, by his mother and Mary Ann Jankowski, who testified yes- terday she planned to marry him. Miss Jankowski, 20, was one of several defense witnesses called to support her fiancee's, testimony that he had never seen the girls he was accused of raping.

In a 15-minute charge to the jury, Judge Smith said: "I have no hesitancy in saying to you that if the case was sub- mitted to me without the aid of jury, I would have no hesitancy in saying not guilty. 'It would be infamous and out- rageous if this boy were dismissed put of favor. It would be equally infamous and outrageous if he were convicted merely out of prej- udice." The evidence, the judge added, "bbiled down" to the younger girl's word that she saw her cousin be- ing intimate with a young man in an apartment and later picked D'Alesandro out of a police lineup as someone resembling that person. In earlier cases involving the same girls, six youths were con- victed of charges ranging from rape to perverted practices. Judge Smith told the jury identi- fication in those cases was much more definite than the "doubtful and uncertain identification" of young D'Alesandro.

Workshop On Civil Defense Planned Here Plans for further activating civil defense in Washington County were formulated at a meeting in the American Legion Home on Northern Avenue 1 last night. Civil defense leaders from the county and the towns in the county met with American Legion repre- sentatives.

The American Legion through its Area A Council, has been seeking, a more active civil defense program here. David K. Cushwa III, command- er of Area A Council, announced after last night's meeting that a civil defense workshop meeting will be held in the near future with state civil defense authorities as instructors. Such a workshop meeting wjll be for town and deputy county tivil defense, leaders. Agenda for the workshop meet- ing was worked up at the last night's session.

The agenda will include details about: the national civil defense program, the state program, the part Washington County is expec- ted to play, civil defense finances, administration and equipment, and civil defense organizations loathe individual town. The meeting will be held at the Legion Home. Civil directors from Han- cock, Boonsboro and Williamsport attended last meeting, ss well as County Director. Charles L. Mobley.

Hagerstown still has no civil defense directors, but were of the former city staff present. FCC Awards Second High Frequency Televission Channel To Hagerstown Another roadblock on the path to television for Hagerstown was re- moved yesterday. Federal Communications Commission formally awarded a second ultra high frequency tele- vision channel to The" FCC had offered to assign another television channel--channel 68--to this city on September 11. But its proposal was subject to ob- jections. Yesterday, the channel was definitely given to this city, because the waiting period for ob- jections elapsed.

That means that both channel 52 and, channel 68 are available for use in Hagerstown. The complicated situation, re- garding television around here now boils down to this: Originally, only channel 52 was available for television emanating in Hagerstown. Both WJEJ and WARK filed applications for.the right to run a television station on this channel. That threatened to cause a long delay in any local television trans- missions, because the FCC has been awarding television licenses first to applications which consist of a single applicant for a channel. With two firms seeking the rights to the single channel, hearing would have been necessary to de tide which would get permission to Use it, and might have been months Or years before the FCC got around to a hearing in the Hagerstown case.

So local radio sta- tions haven't announced their plans in view of the opening of the second channel. They hadn't been able to do anything about it until thif week, because the danger that some other television station would claim potential interference in signal area by a Hagerstown sta- tion on channel 68. If one of the two applicants for channel 52 should withdraw, and only one of the two local stations should file for the right to use channel 68, it would probably has- ten by many months the day when Hagerstown could have a television station of its own. However, both applicants for channel 52 have in the past caution- ed against hopes that a local sta- tion will begin video transmission! as soon as the problem of the chan- nels was solved. It takes a long time to go through the details necessary to get a li- cense, obtain necessary equipment; construct a transmission tower, make exhaustive tests, and do other preliminaries.
