WIDESPREAD publicity on the
use of sodium pentathal, the So
called truth serum, in the HeireEs
case has raised these and other
questions in the minds of many
Chicageans during the last few
weeks. The STAR consulted a
leading Chicago psychiatrist in
order to bring its readers the ac-
tual facts about the serum,
free of sensationalism and mis-
representation.
Sodium pentathal is nothing
more or less than a drug which
breaks down certain mental re-
straints. Its influence on speech
and behavior is somewhat similar
to that of alcohol. Some people
react in the same way during
the early stages of being put un
der an anaesthetic for an opera
ton.
Other drugs beside sodium
pentathal have been used in the
past with similar effects. At one
time, for example, scopolamine
was likewise hailed as the truth
serum. used by itself or in vari.
Gus combinations. Nitrous oxide,
or Laughing gas, commonly
used in tooth extraction, can be
put to the same purpose.
ALL of these substances, how
ever, will reveal the truth" only
under certain conditions and in
certain people. They are fire.
quently helpful in revealing
things that have been forgotten,
as in cases of amnesia victims.
But generally they will not I'M
cover the truth when the subject
of the drug treatment does not
WANT to uncover it.
The exact action of these
drugs. Is unknown. Many III
vestigat0rs believe it is similar
to hypnosis, in which the hyp-

Then, there were two massed

orchestral music, need only to be
brought together and regularly re-
hearsed."
At the initial concert of the next
season, December ., 1902, Divide
Musin, Belgian violinist, was soloist.
Ossip Gabrilowitsch, pianist, was
soloist on January ., 1908. The pro-
gram for that concert promised that
at the next three concerts the
soloists would be Nine. Fri6ie
Scheff, then with the Grau Opera
Company; Nine. Fanny Blumheld.
zeisler, pianist, and Ben Davis, Eng
lish tenor. The present orchestra
organization does not have the pro-
grams for those three concerts, but
it does have one for the first popular
concert given Sunday evening, April
IL, 1908.
Apparently that was about the
sum of the accomplishments under
Mr.. De Koven. Next came q few
concerts in 1906 conducted by Helm
rich Hammer and, in the 1920s, a
brief series conducted by Kurt Het-
eel. Orchestras from other cities
visited Washington, but the Capital
did not have its own orchestra until
the next decade.
The subsequent story is more IA
miljer. In 1880 q group of musicians
formed a cooperative organization
under the name National Symphony
Orchestra. and gave three concerts.
The first conductor was Rudolf

The late Maj. Duncan G. Phillips
is another who was. on that 1902 list
of guarantors. His son, Duncan
Phillips, founder and director of the
Phillips Memorial Gallery, and Mrs.
Phillips are listed as patrons of the
present orchestra.
Mr.. Phillips said his father no
doubt was interested in that early
effort to found symphony orchestra
here as he was interested In all
civic affairs. Mr. and Mrs. Phillips
have been subscribers to the present
orchestras concerts since their 'in-
ception.
Another person who actually was
at that 1902 concert is Mrs. Christian
Heurich, who is one of the box
holders for the forthcoming series
of Wednesday evening concerts and
is also on the roster of donors.
Mrs. Heurich was listed among the
1902 guarantors as Mrs. Amelia
Heurich," but she believes that was
q mistake.

have been Mr.. and Mrs. Christian

are Mr.. and Mrs. Henry A. Ber-
liner: Mr.. Berliner is a son Of Emile
Berliner.
Mrs. King, when told recently of
the old program listing her fathers 5
name, was not surprised at his
identification with the first sym
phony orchestra in the Capital.
Among the Orchestra's
Earliest Patrons

she said. MY father not only en-
joyed it but he was the inventor OF
the disc talking machine which ulti-
niately became the Victor phono-
graph. The new records naturally
came to the house"
Another listed as a guarantor of
that initial concert was "Mr. j.
Sanders" whom many will recog-
nize as Joseph Sanders, vice presi-
dent of the Bank of Commerce and
Savings and one of the sustainers
of the present orchestra.
Mr.. Sanders has a faint recollec-
ton of that long-ago concert he
fostered and attended. "We hoped
to get an orchestra started at that
time" he said. s'It was quite an
event: we tried to make it So"
Mr.. Sanders has long enjoyed
good music, taste he shared with
the late Mrs. Sanders who was Miss
Hannah Berliner, another daughter
of Emile Berliner.

Paderewsh every time he came here
and really think that was the first
time" She also recalled that she
and her late husband met Mr.. De
Koven.
Another who was listed as q
guafantor of that initial concert is
Mrs. Cuno H. Rudolph of the
Dresden Apartments. The late Mr..
Rudolph served as Commissioner of
the District for 10 years.

as much as I used to, but feel that
the symphony orchestra under DR..

The concert of April 28, 1902, ap-
parently was the only one that
spring, but five more were promised
for the succeeding season. A state
ment in that first program said, "A

Schueller. The conductor of the last
two concerts was DR.. Kindler-and
DR.. Kinder stayed.
The next year, 1881, with the
country sinking deeper into the eco
noznic depression, the beginning was
made with 90 contributors to q sus-
tanning fund and 10 musicians. Now
the contributors number into the
thousands. The orchestra was sub
sequently increased to 30 musicians,
then to 80, and this year the goal of
100 has been reached.
The National Symptoms
Real Beginning
But to 60 back to that historic
concert of 1902. The Star said the
next day that the new organization
had started OF brilliantly, adding,
Its work justified the fondest hopes
81 the friends of the enterprise. 1t
was greeted by q large and distin-
guiShed audience Whlch was OF the
most friendly disposition.
The distinguished audience, in ad-
dition to those whose names al
ready have been given, no doubt
included these who were also
named as subscribers: Mrs. West
inghouse, Mrs. Thomas Nelson Page,
Mrs. L. z. Letter, Mrs. H. G. Lodge,
Mrs. A. Lisner, Chief Justice Mel
vile w. Fuller and Justice E. D.
White, who later was Chief Justice.
The Star noted that the George
town Orchestra had played SYM
'phonies for many years, but that
the new organization started out
with the, symphony as the basis Of
its operations. Paderewski played
Beethovens Emperor Concerto"
and was compelled to bow &C
|knowledgment to applause after
each movement and at the end was
recalled again and again.
Concerning Mr.. De koven, Inc
Star said the concert had demon
strated "that = man who has here
tofore been considered merely as
Ia composer Of light opera has de-
yeloped q mastery power Of organi-
zation. a versatility OF reading and
Ia control over players that makes
him . conductor Of force and au-
thority."
Mr.. De Koyen was presented q
wreath OF laurels with flowing rib
bons." Were he to return next
wednesday he might be disposed to
share those laurels with the goodly
group which has made the National
symphony the sound institution
which It is today.

A Century Of Anesthesia

For q long time, the physiological
principles involved in anesthesia
were not understood and surgery
remained an extremely hazardous
procedure. Many deaths were due
to the anesthetic. rather than to
the knife. Administration Of arles-
thesia remained an art, rather
than an exact science, until quite
recently, according to DR.. Donald
Stubbs. professor Of anesthesiology
at George Washington University.
Says DR.. Stubbs:
"The last decade has been more
