Hours Floor Debate
On Courthouse Bill
is Granted in House

The House Rules Committee to-
day granted rule for one hours
debate on the House floor some time
next week on the bill for early
construction OF the new Federal
courthouse here.
The committee decided to set a
date for the House consideration
when 1t meets again this Thursday
or Friday this week.
The Rules Committee acted in
executive session today as a result
Of a public hearing held last
month on the measure. At that
time a rule was asked by Chairman
Dondero of the House Public Works
Committee, who said his unit had
reported the bill unanimously. The
measure, he said, was considered to
be an emergency"
Mr.. Dondero was supported in
this by Representative McGregor,
Republican, of Ohio. who is chair
man Of the Public Works Subcom-
mittee on Buildings and Grounds.
The bill would authorize con-
struction of building on Constitu-
ton avenue between Third street
and John Marshall place to cost not
more than $18,665,000.
A somewhat similar bill for the
Courthouse was pending today be-
fore Senate Public Works subcom-
mittee on public buildings and
grounds which recently held pub
lie hearing on the measure.
The full Senate Public Works
Committee today scheduled an ex-
ecutive session for tomorrow morn
ing to take up bills on its calendar.
There was possibility that the full
committee might consider the
courthouse bill.

In Indecent Assault Case

Judge Ellen K Raedy today i'm
posed the maximum sentence OF
one year plus $500 fine or another
year on a 55-year-old man who was
convicted of indecently assaulting
an 8-year-old crippled boy.
1t was the second maximum pen
atty which Judge Raedy has i'm

The defendant, denying the ac-
euSation. told the court he had been
standing near the boy but did not

one previous conviction in l94l on a
charge that he molested a minor
girl.
Last Wednesday Roy E. Gates, 43

Symphony 10 Cancel
Water-Gate Concerts
Unless Il Gets Funds

The National Symphony Orches.
ira today announced cancellation
of plans for concerts at the Water
Gate this summer unless an offer OF
financial backing is received within
week.
Edward R. Finkenstaedt, presi-
dent, said the orchestra has been
forced to abandon a search for
sponsors for the series because OF
the necessity Of informing the
musicians of their status.
But the orchestra can still make
a last-minute effort to arrange a
concert series If financial help is
offered by next Monday, he said.
About $4,000 would be needed to
guarantee a siX-week series of 1e
concerts, he said.
Reservation Held Open.
The orchestra would give a four
week series If only enough money
for a series of that length is OBJ
tanned, Mr.. Finkenstaedt said.
National Capital Parks officials
say they are holding open the six
week period in June and July which
they have been reseving for the
symphony They will wait until
next Monday for a decision, it was
said. A new barge now is under
construction for the Water Gate
where the symphony has played
each summer for a number of
years.
Edward j. Kelly, park official
said he hopes some offer of help
will materialize.
$4,000 Lost Last Year.
Decision of the orchestra to seek
financial help before planning the
summer series was dictated by a
$4,000 loss incurred by last sum-
mer's Water Gate concerts. Bad
weather was a principal factor in
the loss, officials pointed out.
Another cause Of concern has
been the orchestra's difficulty in
raising the $165 900 sustaining fund
still being sought for next winters
concerts.
Drive officials hope, however, tc
attain this goal with the help Of the
motion picture premiere at the new
Playhouse at 9 pm. tomorrow. A

Bus Company Denied Plea
To Use Downtown Station

The Public Utilities Commission
today denied request of Anchorage
Transportation, Inc, which operates
buses from Georgia and Alaska ave-
nues NV. into nearby Maryland,
that it be allowed to run its vehicles
from a downtown terminal.
The Anchorage line asked the
commission that it be authorized to
use the SafeWay Trails terminal at
Twelfth street and New York ave-
nue. NV. and pick up and discharge
passengers there on a route to
Maryland. Opposition to the re-
quest came from the Capital Tran
sit Co. which contended that such
an extension would be at variance
with the laws governing the public
transportation setup here.
The transit company claimed that
such line would parallel existing
bus and streetcar services, thus es-
tablishing competitive line which
would result in loss of revenue to
the transit company.
The commission agreed with Capt.
tai Transits stand. In the absence
of "a showing of convenience and
necessity" for such an extension of
the Anchorage Bue Line, the COM
mission denied the application.

Key to Human Behavior Seen
In Body Chemistry Variations

some years ago Dr. Bard and his
associates perfected the operation
of removing the entire "forebrains
of cats without killing the animals
The forebrain consists not only of
the cerebral cortex, or top of the
brain" which is the seat of con-
sciousness, but several subsidiary
areas which preceded it in evolu-
ton. They found that the animals
were thrown into a state of almost
constant rage for the rest of their
lives. The slightest stimulus would
set them into frenzy.
Placid Creature Produced.
In the work reported today they
found that when only the cortex
was removed and the underlying
structures of the forebrain, the
latest evolutionary development
were left intact the result was q
state Of extreme placidity. Nothing
could stir the living machine to
wrath.
This indicated clearly that there
must be some part of forebrair
tissue whose specific purpose was tc
exhibit the reactions set off by the
rage centers, located at still lower
evolutionary level. They started
cutting away bits at a time until
the unrestricted rage manifestation
was restored.
1t long has been recognized that
reactions of rage, fear and other
strong emotion are set off primarily
by the buried region of the brain
known as the thalamus.
The final rage reaction, accord.
ing to DR.. Bard, is shown to be {
complex of several checks and bal.
ances in the brain. The cerebra
cortex might be able to overrult
the centers of placitidy or they
might be overwhelmed by tn,
strength of the stimulus from tht
thalamus.

Good Progress

Home Ru|e,Bi||
Committee Vote
On Amendments
Expected Soon

Chairman Dirksen of the House
District Committee today reported
good progress" was made at this
mornings closed door meeting of the
group on the Auchincloss bill for
an elected city government.
He said he had hopes the COM
mittee will be ready to begin voting
on suggested amendments after an
other meeting Wednesday.
Most Of the more controversial
features of the District charter
measure, Mr.. Dirksen said, now have
been discussed in the full commit
tee. These include provisions for
bonded debt for the District to
cover capital improvements which
cannot be financed out of current
revenues, and the proposed fixed
formula to regulate the size of the
Federal payment toward National
Capital costs.
Most Of Bill Studied.
The group now has reviewed all
but three of the 18 titles of the big
bill, but may go back to the one
dealing with eligibility of District
residents to vote.
The bill contains a dual voting"
provision for persons living here
but claiming legal domicile in their
home States. If otherwise qualified,
these -domiciled residents would
be permitted to vote for candidates
for the city council and elected
schol board. They themselves would
not be eligible for elective District
office. Also, they would not be per-
mltted to vote for proposed nom
voting District delegate in the House
since they would be presumed to be
eligible to vote for their States
representatives.
Under the plan as written, the
District would be authorized to 70
into bonded debt up to a maximum
OF 3 per cent of tie total assessed
value of taxable District real estate
provided a bond plan were ap-
proved by a three-quarters vote of
the council, passed by the House and
Senate, signed by the President and
approved in a referendum vote bv
District people.
Substitute Is Planned.
Representative Bates, Republican,
OF Massachusetts, is planning a sub
stitute debt plan designed to simpli-
fy and speed up the process while
at the same time keeping the Dis
tr1ct nearer to a pay-as-you- go
basis.
Representative Smith, Democrat,
Of Virginia said the committee was
making progress, but that it was q
big bill containing some "revolu-
tionary" proposals and that mem
bers wanted answers to lot of
questions. He agreed that the draft
ing subcommittee had made a deep
study Of the subject.

By Thomas R. Henry
Science Editor Of The Sior.

The basic chemical patterns of
living differs for every human be-
ing.
That's why men are different and
that also is why bloodhoundS can
follow a man by scent. Eventually
sort of internal fingerprinting"
may be possible which will have far
reaching implications in treatment
of metal diseases, alcoholism, sex
abnormalities and the general prob
lem of human behavior.
This thesis, based on experiments
with students, was presented before
the National Academy of Sciences,
meeting here today, by DR.. R. j.
Williams of the University of Texas
AS a result, he said, the differ
ences-shown by the amounts of
various amino acids, basic building
stones of tissue, in the urine,
amounts Of sodium, calcium and
other substances in the saliva, abil-
tiles to taste, and continuous tenn
perature chart-are very slight.
Hence, in the past, they have been
discovered by accident and in few
outstanding cases such as albinism.
This lack of pigment, DR.. Williams
said, is entirely due to such a diff
ference in basic chemistry. Recent
ly discovered is another chemical
difference which is always accom-
panied by feeble -mindedness.
Metabolic Functions Differ.
Tests of the Texas students
showed that the so-called metabolic
functions differed strikingly and
show clearly that there is no such
thing as an average man" The
chemical differences, he said, prob
ably explain why some people are
so intolerant of certain drugs. while
others become victims of alcoholism.
They probably explain why most
persons can smoke heavily without
injury while nicotine apparently
cuts the life expectancy of others
as much as 10 years.
If one is going insane, the chem
ical differences probably determine
what kind of psychosis he will
suffer.
1t also will be possible to iden-
tify persons by their chemical pat
terms.
Experiments in which the instinct
Of motherhood was completely wiped
out in rats by electric shocks were
described by DR.. Calvin P. Stone OF
Leland Stanford University.
Female rats given convulsive
shocks before birth of their young
no longer build nests or clean the
infants, he said. They will suckle
them, but If a little one falls away
there is no effort made by the
mother to recover 1t.
| The extent to which the mother
hood instincts are lost depend part
ly on the length of time before the
young are born that the shocks are
given. Given early enough, birth
will be stopped altogether.
Rage Centers in Brain.
In other reports given to the ses-
sion, it was shown that rage and
anti-rage centers are buried in the
brain.
They are tiny bits of nerve tissue
some which set of bodily explo-
sions Of extreme anger and others
which restrain these outbursts.
This finding, which may have an
important bearing on the evolution
of emotional behavior was renorted
by Drs. Philip Bard and Vernon D.
