the works are located. The key

the large works would be power

DR.. Morris Wolf. q Washington
dentist, has on display an extract
ing instrument, circa 1850, in
which two small claws are
clamped over the tooth to be
pulled. A handle has been tight
ened and the tooth, to use a 2Oth
century term, is yanked.
Toothless japanese residents of
the late 10th Century sometimes
wore upper and lower dentures
carved from wood. The front
teeth were fashioned of stone and
short nails driven half way
through the wood substituted for
the back molars.
Up-to-date dentists in Ceylon,
in the last century, fashioned
their false teeth Of bone. One
set Of upper and lower dentures
on exhibition have brass spiral
spring connecting the upper and
lower plates. The spring helps to
separate the two while the wearer
is talking or eating.
Other dentures, loaned by the
Medical Museum of the Armed
Forces Institute Of Pathology, are
made from ivory, hippopotamus
tusks and an unknown gummy
substance used by Mexican Indians

Debate over the Washington
home rule bill was to be started
in the Senate today, with spon-
sors confident of passage within

This is the so-called compro-

draft which had been blocked by

It calls for an elective form
of city government to supplant

overriding control over all aspects
of the District Government.

Attacks on the bill were to be
made by Senator Johnston. Demo-
crat of South Carolina. a tradi-
tional foe of District suffrage.
Just before the Senate met,
Senator Smith, Democrat of North
Carolina, announced his OPPOSE
ton to the measure, calling it a
"makeshift" affair.
Calls 1t "Sop" to Agitators.
Senator Smith said certain
groups want to get control of the
city government here" and he
called the bill a "sop'' to agitation
groups.
Senator Smith also made the
point that the pending measure
did not provide for full voting
privileges for the residents of the
District. He was abiding to the
question of giving District resi-
dents representation in Congress.
The pending bill, Senator Smith
said, will not be good for the
people who have to come here to
live and to work for the Federal
Government"
Subject to Referendum.

OF five members, nominated and
elected by wards; a mayor ap-

If enacted by Congress, the
home rule bill would be subject
to ratification in a referendum
vote by District residents.
| A similar bill was passed by the
Senate in May, 1949, but was
buried by the House District
Committee despite a drive by
sponsors to discharge the COM

the House for a vote.
