Trouble With Prescriptions.
Mr.. Maloney also had his troubles
with prescriptions. One woman
told gasoline in the pump reserved
for doctors could be released only to
doctors on prescriptions, smiled
happily and said she was sure she
could get her doctor to write a pre-
scription for her.
He handles all my prescription
business" she said.
Another woman said her husband
was in the doctors Office and wanted
to know if she could get gasoline if
she telephoned the doctor and he
said it would be all right.
The doctors think it's kind OF
funny. too" Mr.. Maloney said. One
Of them told me he had written
prescriptions for whisky during pro-
hibition and for medicine to cure all
sorts of diseases, but that he never
expected to be writing them for
gasoline"
George c. McCloy, who operates
station across the street from Mr.
Maloney's station, said his tanks
had been we'll filled when the Short
age hit the city and that he had
managed to keep his stocks up by
selling only as much as he received.
AS 80 per cent of his business was
from doctors anyway. he was pro-
tected against any unforeseen
emergency.
Motorists Attitude Changes.
I'VE had a little trouble in the
beginning because dentists, nurses,
doctors secretaries. everybody else
in the office and all their relatives
thought they were entitled to gaso-
line from the doctors pump" Mr..
McCloy said, but we didn't let them
have it and they got it elsewhere"
The operator thought the situa-
ton had eased up greatly. because
he noticed a change in motorists
attitudes. Last week word leaked
out that B" and &C" coupons would
be cut and there was a run on them.
Some drivers offered to pay so cents
and even q dollar a gallon to get
their tanks filled They acted as
though it was the last tankful of gas
they ever would get" But yesterday,
when no gas was available, drivers
simply remarked, We'll, you'll have
some in few days, won't you?" and
drove off.
Mr.. McCloy said he thought most
drivers had their tanks filled and
were using it as economically as
possible, thereby cutting down the
pressure on service stations.

By JAMES F., CHINN.

A special non-partisan bloc of

senting the II gasoline starved
States along the Atlantic seaboard
was created yesterday to develop a
program designed to prevent rep
etition of the recent shortage that
stalled thousands of cars and essen

Virginia.
The bloc-officially termed an in
formal joint congressional commit

morrow. aided by officials of the
Petroleum Administration for War,
headed by Secretary of Interior
Ickes.
The committee will be composed

resenting one of the Atlantic Coast
States in which gas has been scarce
for the last 10 days. Only two have
been named-Representatives Reed
of New York and Hartley of New

are supposed to select their repre-
sentatives over the week end.

Decision to create the joint COM
mittee was made as result of pro-
tracted conference called by Rep
resentative Hartley which was at
tended by members of the House and
Senate or their representatives from

of Columbia-a spot in the coast

with the petroleum problem and

to meet potentialities.
The program outlined by Mr..
Hartley proposes:

3. That existing pipe lines be
utilized to the fullest extent and
that another projected pipe line
connecting the Midwest with the
East Coast be completed as soon as
is practicable.
Considerable complaints were
made during the conference about
determinations between gasoline
consumers along the Atlantic Coast
and those in the Midwest. 1t was
pointed out that gas supplies to the
Midwest are greater than those to

Dog With Two Brains Found
In D. C., Autopsy for Rabies

Health Department officials yes
terday came up with what they
called IAN anatomical anomaly"
which they thought may prove to
be the only one Of its kind in scien-
tiflc literature-a dog with two
"well-developed" brains. Unfortu-
nately the dog is dead, victim of
rabies.
The discovery was made by j. B.
Holland, laboratorian of the depart
ment-somewhat to his surprise, 1t
might be added-when he was ex-
amining the head of dog sus-
pected of having had rabies. With
the current incidence OF rabies in
Washington these days, such lab
oratary tests are more or less rou-
tine, but this dog did not follow
the usual form.
After taking second or a third
look, to make sure his eyes were not
playing tricks on him, Mr.. Holland
communicated with other Health
Department ofncials and later COM
pleted his examination and rendered
finding OF positive" rabies re-
actions In both OF the dogs brains.

American u. Program
In Social Sciences

The functional organization of the
curriculum of the School Of Social
Sciences and Public Affairs of the
American University was announced
yesterday by President Paul F. Doug
lass as he outlined the autumn pro-
gram of the school. Under the new
plan, the courses are offered in 10
functional areas, corresponding to
the nature of the social sciences to
which the work OF the school is en-
tirely devoted
Beginning with the historical, cul-
tural and physical Foundations Of
Society,"" the program recognizes
that society exists in communica-
ton. The second functional area is
therefore Effective Communica-
tion," including English, speech and
languages.
Language Study Integrated.
Languages are considered a part
of communications program,
rather than as a separate field, and
are integrated into the curriculum
as phase of 'inter-cultural COM
munication" The spoken language
program Is part of the enlarged
offerings of the school.
The third functional area is that
of Political and Social Institutions. !"
This field is closely related to the
fourth area known as international
Affairs and World Organization"
The history, process, institutional
organization and objectives of So
ciety are unified by courses in the
fifth area known as Social Theory" !"
Leadership Course.
Within the historical, cultural and
institutional framework of society,
the new curriculum provides for
four functional areas demanding
special technical competence. These
are the organization and leadership
of humans, the area to be called
Personnel Administration and La
Dor Problems" the direction of the
institutional apparatus of society,
the area to be known as Admins
tration," the operation of the pro-
cess by which men earn their living,
the area to be known as Business
and Economic Organization" and
the use of the medium of exchange
in terms of economic organization
and public welfare, the area to be
known as Fiscal Policy and FL
nancial administration"
The 10th functional area is or
ganized as a program OF "Quanta-
tive Methods" and includes the tools
of social science analysis and con-
trolls. such as accounting and sta
tistics.
In making the announcement Of
the curricular organization, Presi-
dent Douglass said the university is
taking this step to break down the
segmentation of instruction, which
has prevented students from achiev-
ing conference in their education
and to enable them to see relation
ships in terms of individual re-
sponsibilities, technical competence
and ethically-minded leadership.
