process may be repeated until a
fatal dose is taken.
Another danger pointed out is
that the northumberland may
believe that he can take in
creased amounts of the drug.
But unlike morphine and CO.
caine, there is no tolerance built
up through continued use. A
person can take barbiturates on
prescribed amounts over a long
period, and then if the dose is
increased, it still can be fatal.
About so grains are con-
sidered a fatal dose.
Barbiturates have been
termed the suicide drug"
Since 1888. suicides and acct
dental deaths from overdose of
sleeping pills have jumped L.
900 per cent.

Mrs. Yates Asks New
Hearing on Dismissal
By Chever|y Hospital

Administrative affairs Of the
Prince Georges General Hospital
at Cheverly may get a complete
airing. as a result of protests filed
by the Institutions former head
housekeeper.
Mrs. Eleanor Yates, who held
the post for four years before she
was dismissed July Is for alleged
incompetency by Supt. Harry w
Penn, yesterday asked the county
commissioners to order re-
hearing of her case.
She charged that Mr.. Penn him
self was inefficient and utterly
incompetent" and requested that
she be permitted to produce wit
nesseS and documentary evidence
to that effect.
Penn Won in Struggle.
Mr.. Penn was the principal in
a struggle last spring among the
commissioners, the Hospital Board
and a group of physicians. The
commissioners. who under the law
have complete control over the
hospital, appointed a successor to
Mr. Penn but reScinded their ac-
ton when a group of physicians
demanded his reinstatement.
The commissioners yesterday
took an official hands-off atti-
tude on Mrs. Yates request, but
their chairman. Thomas E. Lati-
mer, who also heads the Hospital
Board. advised her to present a
written request for a new hearing,
along with a list of proposed wit
nesSes.
He indicated that her request
will be granted when these steps
have been taken.
Mrs. Yates was given a hearing
on July IL. At that time, the Hos
pitfalls Board of Directors voted,
IL to 3, to sustain her discharge.
Move for Open Hearing.
Commissioner Edward j. Waters
said he will insist that the Hospital
Boards hearing, if held, be open to
If it is not held, he will
attempt to have her case submitted
to the commissioners in public ses-
sion, he said.
In off-the-record remarks yes
terday. at least three commission
ers limited broadly they now are
dissatisfied with their action in re-
Installing Mr.. Penn.
Indicative of that feeling was
the commissioners rejection OF
two requests made by the Hospital
Board recently.
One was a proposal that the
hospitals directors again be given
the right to recommend persons
for staff appointments, including
that of superintendent.
In the other. the Hospital Board
asked. and was denied, the privil-
eye of reviewing changes in the in
situations bylaws before they be-
come effective.

manufacture of barbiturates
for domestic consumption. At
the same time, production for
export he's fallen off.
Barbiturates are compounds
formed with barbituric acid and
are used in medicine to induce
sleep. There is little danger in
their use on advice by doctor.
However, even prescribed
doses, if taken habitually over a
prolonged period, can cause
signs of narcotic poisoning -
headaches, dizziness. mental de-
preston.
Taken in overdoses, they can
be fatal. One danger is that the
person taking sleeping pills can
take an overdose without realiz-
ing it. The first pill makes him
drowsy and forgetful, and he
doesn't remember having taken

Mount Eagle School
Cafeteria Eliminated
BY Bid on Addition

Plans for an addition to Mount
Eagle School, south of Alexandria,
are being altered today to elm
mate a proposed cafeteria so that
the project can be built with
available funds.
The Fairfax County School
Board yesterday received a lone
bid of S382,576 for the addition
about 100000 more than the board
allotted in a sos million bond
issue.
Architect Robert Willgoos was
asked to change the plans to in
clude only IL clasSrooms and a
library, dropping a Cafeteria which
would have cost about $4,000
The only bidder was Eugene
Simpson & Bro. of Alexandria.
Votes to Condemn Land.
The board voted to condemn Is
acres near Merrifield for the
.county's first high school for
Negro students. The tract is on
Gallows road, between Lee high
way and Lee boulevard.
At the request of the Falls
Church School Board. the county
agreed to enroll city seniors at
Falls Church High School at a
tuition fee of 5000 per year.
The county board also set a
tuition fee of $3.50 for elementary
school students admitted from
other Jurisdictions. The 5000 and
$3.50 rates are the same as those
set by Falls Church. which will
enroll some county students.
Private Fees Lowered.
Lower rates for tuition were set
by the county for students whose
fees are paid privately. rather
than by another Jurisdiction.
These rates are $50 lower because
the county will receive about S45
from the State for teaching these
pupils.
Mrs. Ethel Carter was ap-
pointed principal of Graham Road
School, succeeding Mrs. Neva
Wagner, who died Sunday.
A request by Paul Reiber and
Joseph H. Freehill to permit a
drive for Community Chest funds
in the schools was denied.
The board promised a delega-
ton from the Hillwoe Citizens
Association, who live just outside
the city of Falls Church, that bus
service will be provided for chill
dren from that area who will at
tend Willston School, near Seven
Corners.
