Remedy for Seosickness Found
At Johns Hopkins by Accident

from hives since the beginning of
a pregnancy.
1t stopped the hives. But more
exciting, she told the doctors. it
stopped the car sickness which
had plagued her for life.
The doctors began q series of
tests on the woman with the new
faSt-acting drug. DR.. Gay and DR..
Carliner, in a paper presented to
the Johns Hopkins Medical So
ciety last night. reported
1T was possible to control the
car-sickness of this patient at will
the drug gave her complete
relief if she took a capsule of so
miligrams before she boarded the
streetcar.
subsequent to this elementary
experiment, other victims of car
sickness and air-sickness were
completely freed of discomfort
provided the drug was taken just
besure exposure to the respective
means of transportation"
Excited by the results, the doc
tors last summer turned their at
tention to the real problem-sea
sickness. The drug was used ex-
tensively on the trans Atlantic
liner America. The results showed
such great promise the doctors
reported, they took their findings
to the Army Chief of Staff and
Surgeon General last fall.
To test dramamine under the
most rigid conditions the Army

United States transport Ballou-

Absolute Firing
Power Urged for Top
Security Agencies

The Federal loyalty program
should be abolished because it
originated on a political base"
and has endangered the Govern
ment service and constitutional
guarantees, Paul A. Porter told
National Citizens Conference on
Civil Liberties here today.
The former OPA administrator
recommended that top security
agencies should have absolute
power to discharge employees. He
said that would be a more humane
procedure of handling cases of
questionable loyalty than is the
present Federal program.
Axis Sally gets more of our
constitutional protection than
some of the Government employees
have received under the Federal
loyalty program. Mr.. Porter as
serted at the opening of a tWo-day
conference of representatives of
more than $50 organizations at

Four Major Subjects.
The conference, described as
aimed at providing guidance
particularly to Communist
groups interested in safeguarding
civil liberties. has scheduled
speeches and panel discussions on
four major subjects: Government
and civil liberties, academic free
dom, civil rights, and human
rights on the international scale.
While conceding that the Fed
eral loyalty program involves Ger
tain principles on which there can
be no compromise" and that men,
bers Of the loyalty boards are at
tempting to do a conscientious
job. Mr. Porter declared that it
got off to a bad start because it
had its instigation "on a political
base
In a political year it was an
attempt by the administration to
compete with Congress. it seemed
to me. to prove to the people that
the executive agencies were as
we'll equipped to do witch hunting
as congressional committees" he
said.
A more serious objection to the
program. Mr.. Porter continued. is
that IAN alarming chain reaction
has resulted from this approach to
the problem of coping with dis
loyalty in the Government"
Methods Assailed.
Mr.. Porter contended that the
procedures followed in the pro-
gram do complete violence to our
constitutional guarantees. He
attacked what he said was the
programs concept of guilt by as
sociation' and its usual methods
of questioning Government en-
ployes against whom it has re-
ceived complaints, often anony-
nous and unsupported by other
evidence.
The program as such has ac-
complished little" Mr.. Porter
said. The harm it has done to
numerous individuals needlessly
hailed before boards greatly out
weighs any real benefit to the
Federal Government. The program
has run its course 1t should be
turned back to the ordinary pro-
cedures of the Civil Service Com
mission and the agencies in
volved."

was better. For ceiling and wall in
stallation the copper was preferred.
Although the kind of pipe, its size
and spacing are very important
factors, no conclusions could be
drawn from this survey concerning
them. 1t is quite generally agreed,
however, that these items must be
determined by engineering calcula-
tons or considerable experience.
Possible "Donts~
Another important point concern
ing the piping is that each room, at
least, should have a separate panel
into which the amount of hot water
can be apportioned according to the
needs of the room. Three of the
homes visited were heated from m
panel only. This one panel was the
entire floor of the house.
Its disadvantages were, and these
were brought out by the occupants,
that it was difficult to have just the
right amount of heat in each room.
Three other homes had two or more
panels each but not a separate panel
for each room. In these they were
quick to admit that a panel with an
adjustable valve for each room
would have been better.
Practically all of the homes main
tanned an even temperature by
means of one thermostat in the CEN
trail part of the house. This thermo-
stat controlled the circulating pump
motor, merely turning it on and off.
The water temperature was con-
trolled by an aquastat in the tank or
boiler which turned the flame on
or off as needed.
Outside Thermosfat
One system, however, made use
of outside thermostats to control
