Drug 10 Improve
Mind Studied
At Hospital
ChiIdren's Contract
With Navy Assures
Further Research

Children's Hospital has signed a
contract with the Navy for funds to
carry out labortary research on an
important drug which may help
mentally retarded children.
The drug is glutamic acd-a by
product of flour milling. 1t is pres
ent in proteins and represents about
/ per cent of the normal diet, doc
tors said.
Children's recently completed a
slx-nlonth study of the drugs eff
fects, taken In great quantity by
about 100 children with mental de-
fects. Results have been mixed, u
with Extraordinary results in some
cases we didn't expect and no re-
suits in others" according to DR..
Montgomery Blair, jr., hospital di-
rector.
Not Program of Treatment.
Mrs. Emma Gilbert, psychologist
at the Child Welfare Clinic, said
early results have not given nuch
hope for children with badly re-
tarded mentalities, but that it is
"in terms of borderline cases that
We have hope"
Mrs. Gilbert stressed that the study
Is a research project, sponsored by
the Child welfare Society, and mot
a program of treatment. The 100
children now on the rolls are about
all the clinic can handle at present,
she said.
The study, which is still under
way, she added, is too incomplete
to arrive yet at definite conclusions.
The drug is given orally at home
by parents, and results are meas
ured by observations of doctors and
parents and by psychological tests
carried out in the clinic. Children
who have shown improvement, doc
tors said, have become more alert,
more active and more able to do
things for themselves.
Further Research Assured.
So far, however, work in the
clinic has forged far ahead of re-
search to determine exactly what
happens when the drug goes to
work. hospital officials pointed out.
The new contract with the Office
of Naval Research will enable re-
search to go ahead in this field.
It will be directed at Children's
by DR.. Samuel. B Bessman, who
formerly carried out similar work
at the Neuropsychiatric Institute
of New York. where the first effects
of glutamic acid were noted.
DR.. Bessman said most of the
work will be aimed at the effects of
the drug on normal rats, mice and
guinea pigs.
Another study, meanwhile, he
said, is being planned to see if
quantities of the drug have any
effect on normal children.
DR.. Bessman said glutamic acid
is bought in great quantities by
soup manufacturers as f1avoring
substance for chicken soup. The
drug has a strong, salty, bitter taste.

Gov. Tuck-to Entertain
.- 81 ~
Thurmond; Almond
Backs Truman Ticket
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 5-Gov.
Tuck, back from a To-day trip to
California, revealed he would intro
duce Gov. Thurmond at the At
lantic Rural Exposition fair Friday
and entertain the States Rights
presidential candidate and Mrs.
Thurmond at breakfast at the man
sion the following morning.
Coincident with the Governors
announcement. Attorney General
j. Lindsay Almond, jr., said he saw
no reason for leaving the Demo-
cratic Party and would support the
Truman-Barkley ticket and the en-
tire Democratic slate.
Tuck Remains Silent.
Gov. Tuck still didn't care to re-
veal how he intended to vote in the
presidential election. And when
asked what political significance at
tached to his welcome of the States
Rights candidate the Governor re-
piled the announcement spoke for
itself and people were perfectly free
to give it any Interpretation they
desired.
Nor did Gov. Tuck care to say
that his meeting with Gov. Thur
mond was a courtesy from one
Southern Governor to another, such
as Gov. Lane of Maryland did last
Friday. Any such qualification Of
his introduction of Gov. Thurmond
or the breakfast invitation, Gov.
Tuck indicated, might be construed
by some as an apology for his
action.
The States Rights standardbear-
er, launching a heavy round Of
speaking engagements in Virginia
this week, is scheduled for three
appearances in the Richmond area
Friday.
The main-event evening speech
will be delivered in a setting that
originally was to be part Of the
State convention of the Young
Democratic Clubs of Virginia. The
Young Democrats, however, voted
down the idea at a rather warm
meeting of the Executive Commit
tee and postponed their convention
until a later date. The States
Rights organization then took over
sponsorship of the Thurmond talk.

came in response to a reporters
question.

est" he said. 81 have no intention
of leaving the Democratic Party.

He made it plain he disapproved
Of Mr.. Truman's civil rights. pro-
gram on a Federal level and said
he believed the rights of all men
to enjoy equal treatment under the
law was matter for the States to
determine.
As for himself, Mr.. Almond said
it was a question of supporting Mr..
Truman or Gov. Dewey. Since both
major parties have committed them
selves to a Federal civil rights pro-
gram, he could see no choice on
that score. And with the civil
rights factors balancing one another,
the attorney general said that as q
Democrat, he preferred Mr.. Truman.

funds. There is no restriction on
earned income. Admission in each
case is determined BY whether the
patient is unable to meet hospital
costs.
Chest-aid patients are cared for In
wards by doctors who are OH the
attending and resident stats of the
hospitals. The Hospitals Service
Agency collects in lnstallments,
however, what it determines the pa
tients are able to pay later. Willard
Smith, head Of the agency. said
about IS per cent of the amount
agreed on is collected each year.
Six-Months Payments.
During the first six months of
this yeal, about go per cent of the
Chest-aid patents were expected to
repay the $3.50 spent daily for them.
Another 10 per cent were expected
to repay designated portion.
Hospitals under the Chest agree
ment this year are being paid only
$3.50 a day. And the fund will fall
many thousands of dollars short of
increased demands made on 1t be-
fore the year is out, officials of the
Hospital Service Agency said.
Chest officials said the average
daily cost for one patient in the
participating hospitals last year was
$13,48.
This means that while both the
50 Government rate and the $11
Chest rate will help hospitals
greatly next year, both fall below
the average COSTS.
Opinion Varies. on Burden.
Sharp differences of opinion exist
among hospital leaders about
whether the burden should fall
heavier OH Government or COM
for charity work done in
voluntary hospitals. Some believe
Government-through subsidy or
direct payment-should pay the en-
tire cost of treating the medically
INDECENT"
But I. E. Behrman, director Of the
Beth Israel Hospital. of Newark,
N. j., put it another way:
IF the voluntary hospital is to
be perpetuated in order that the
vital interest of the medically in
digent are to be protected, ways
and means of enlisting more COM
support must be found. If,
on the other hand, no charity by
the voluntary hospital is to be given
because of a lack of financial sup
port, then there is no further need
for the voluntary hospital"
