NEW YORK IL Two pills,
taken daily, can knock down high
blood pressure and often keep it
normal.
The two drugs offer a practical
method of controlling high blood
pressure, but are not a cure. They
are powerful, and must be used
carefully. Their use has to be con-
tinued. It's too early yet to tell
whether trouble may come from
longtime use.
This is the substance Of a report
prepared by DR.. Henry A. Schroe-
der, of Washington University, St.
Louis, for the American Heart As
sociation in Cleveland.
One drug acts on the sympathe-
tic nervous system, the other On
the central nervous system. The
first is hexamethonium chloride,
made by Chilcott Laboratories I'M
der the tradename Methium. The
second is 1-hydrazinophthalaz
made under the tradename Apre-
soline by Cha Pharmaceutical Co.
DR.. Schroeder reports tests on
40 patients, for four to 16 weeks.
Results are best in benign by.
pertension, or high blood pressure
which proceeds slowly. 1t is much
less effective in keeping normal
pressure in malignant hyperion,
sion, or high pressure which rapid
ly gets worse. The drugs did not
help in very severe cases.
DR.. Schroeder said the drugs
must be used carefully to bring
blood pressure down slowly, t.
avoid harm or death. The drugs
sometimes produce headaches
dizziness. or other effects.
Relaxation was one benefit. PEG
pie said they felt less emotiona
drive, less nervous tension anc
anxiety.

Dredging stymied

Prospects for dredging the har- bor and making a i'll back Of proposed seawall in Nrangell.s burned out area were not too bright this week. It began to look as if the Army Engineers were somewhat less than interested. Copy Of a letter to Gov. Grueniug from Col L. E. Seeman. head Of the engineers corps in Anchorage. read at the City Council meeting last night said the survey made recent ly by the engineers revealed the harbor hadn't filled in enough to interfere with efficient function ing of the small boat harbor." fSee news story elsewhere in today's paperl In face of obvious evidence to the contrary, engineers adverse report on the project indicated they were trying to get out from under; possibly because tn Q r e wasn't some S400,000. or whatever it's going to cost. available, and taking money from other com mittments isn't as easy as it sounds. although the engineers had hinted that course might be fol- lowed. It's virtually three months since Wrangell was declared a dis aster area by the President as result of the fire Of March 21-22 To date. the city is assured of a new warehouse and the piling have been removed in the burned area. Dredging and seawau. it was be- ginning to become apparent. were things the town could continue to hope for.

COUNCIL GETS ADVERSE REPORT ON DREDGING

An adverse report on the propos- ed dredging of Wrangell harber was read to the City Council at is meeting last night in the City Hall. It was contained in a copy of a letter from Col B. E. seeman. chief of the Corps of Engineers in Anchorage. addressed to Gov. Ern- est Gruening. which the latter had forwarded to the Council.
 Col Seeman said that Army en- gineers who recently had surveyed the project had found only a min imum of shoaling in the harbor and this was around the edges of the small boat basin. He declared the condition will not interfere with efficient funetioning of the small boat harbor" and added that he regretted the Army engineers were unable to do more. indicating that the dredging project was out.
 Council decided to follow through and will immediately secure affi- davits from competent persons familiar with the harbor condi- ti0ns revealing how the harbor has filled in and the need for dredging. Oil tankers and other craft fra- auenting the upper harbor have long had trouble getting in and out because of the filling-in over the years from the Stikine River. it was brought out.

Harmony at Last

It must have done Andrew Ner- lands heart good to read Bob De Armond's report that the Repub1i- can Territorial convention wound up it's business in Cordova last Sat urday night chuck full of har- mOny and fried razor clans"
 Elder Statesman Nerland,. Fair banks pioneer and veteran lawmak- CT. has been waiting 16 years fo.i harmony to permeate the Republi- can ranks. He was one of those at Douglas in 1936 who saw the Republican party split asunder virtually in the shadow of the harmony arch" the town had er- ected oyer the main street to well gates. Mir. Nerland had pleaded implored and cajOled for harmony. Then he had risen in quiet wrath. Harmony. he declared, was a joke under the circumstances and he looked with chagrin at the town s out to face 16 long years of Grand Old Party discord and discontent.
 Through the years as a member of the Legislature he recalled the old harmony arch' as he watched his own party members, then a slim minority, pickering, splitting and feuding over their one big is- sue White bossism. Former Marshal Albert White had walked away with control of the Republi- can party in his vest pocket at Douglas and had held it without successful challenge for 16 years.
 Now, in fish-happy Cordoya (they're having a good year uI therel the Whites and the anti Whites. sometimes self styled black Republicans, sit down in peace and harmony over their fried clans. No doubt a momentu. ous occasion for the Republican party in Alaska, and certainly, a satisfying event in the long and distinguished areer of Elder Statesman Andrew Nerland.

Need For Higher
Electric Rates Seen

Without a fair rate of return on
investment, an electric expansion
program for lower Delaware would
be je0pardized. Stuart Cooper
president Of the Delaware Power
and Light Company, testified before
the Public Service Commission at
Dover on Tuesday.
He was a witness in support Of
the company's application for ap
proval Of proposed new tariffs
which would increase all rates for
retail electric service in Kent and
Sussex counties, which comprises
DP&L's southern division.
Approval would put the rates in
line with those Of the Eastern
Shore Public Service Co, a DP&L
subsidiary, whose application was
approved sometime ago by the
Maryland Public Service Commss-
sion.
Mr. Cooper, Austin T. Gardner.
vice president and secretary Of
DP&L, and E. Edward Mclean.
Baltimore, chief auditor of the
Maryland Public Service Commits
sion, agreed that six per cent is a
fair return. Mr.. Mclean had been
retained by the Delaware PSC as
consultant to investigate the appli-
cation and was, called on Tuesday
as a witness by the commission.
The proposed new rates would pro-
duce rate return on investment
of 5.77 per cent, Mr.. Cooper and
Mr.. Gardner said, with the former
adding that, with his confidence in
the further development Of lower
Delaware and perhaps correction
of inflationary conditions, the plan
as mapped has fair possibility of
working out though short of six
per cent
The company president brought
out that the company has set up
81 ,146, ,G00 for expansion Of electri-
cal facilities in lower Delaware
next year
The average rate per kilowatt
hour is 1854 cents and would rise
to 1886 cents under the proposed
