Miscellaneous
Judicial Redistricting. BY the
margin of one vote the House re-
fused to endorse the Senate-ap-
proved redistricting plan. and in
that dramatic moment any hope
of additional regular superior
court judges was lost. The Senate
refused to reconsider the House
plan for six new judges, so both
houses agreed to disagree. To
meet crowded dockets in the next
two years, twelve, instead of eigh.
special judges were authorized. Of
that number the Governor is re-
quired to appoint only four.
Civil and Criminal Laws. The
General Statutes Commission and
the Judicial Council, whose duties
are to recommend changes in the
civil and criminal laws, had >
pretty good 1853 average. About
two out of every three measures
introduced were approved. Two
new laws regulate illegal use of
dynamite and Ku Klux Khan acti-
vities.

troduced, 1910 bills and As resolu.
tions were enacted into law
Though the margin is small the
1858 record shows more laws and
fewer introductions than in each
of the last two sessions.
While the lawmakers built up q
deserved reputation for hard work
In longer-than-uSual session and
acted favorably upon majority
of Governor Umstead's legisla-
tive proposals. they also left some
major issues for the 1855 legisla-
ture. Already forecast as prin-
cipal problems to he faced in 1855
are revision of the tax structure
and judicial and legislative redis-
tricting.
Appropriations and Finance
With approval of about SIS mil
lion for expenditure on varied
projects not included in the bien-
NAL appropriations bill, the Gen
eral Assembly left Raleigh having
appropriated a record sum of over
1851 million for state services
during the 1885 biennium. Final
totals were about $425 million
from the General Fund, 50 million
from the Agriculture Fund, and
s204 million from the Highway
Fund. Although the Budget Bur-
ca reported that the bdget was
substantially in balance at the
sessions end, some Legislators de-
parted fearing that the State may
have embarked on a program of
deficit financing. Only the avail
ability of credit balance of over
$45 million permits a balanced
budget for the next two year.
On adjournment day the House
completed concurrence in the Sen
ate amendments to the Revenue
Act which makes no substantial
changes in the tax structure. Final
action was also taken on the $S6.25
million bond program, but voter
approval is still required before
$50 million for public schools and
e22 million for mental institutions
can be spent.

CAIRO. Aug. 5-Egypt's pro-

Egypt's old constitution, en-

BOSTON, Aug. 5.-A sit-up
iron lung and electronic brain
thinking for iron lungs were dis
played yesterday as new aids for
polio victims.
The sit-up lung contains a
chair. so a person can sit COM
fortably while the lung does his
breathing. The only one of its
kind. it is under test at the
Mary Macarthur Memorial res
plrator center at Wellesley Hills
near Boston.
The brain is a servo-mechanism
automatically and precisely con-
trolling the pressure inside an
iron lung. If the lung springs a
leak, the brain is sent a message
and instantly steps up the flow of
air from a pump to the lung.
The brain can make the pres
sure rise and fall in any desired
pattern. 1t is testing whether
variable rhythms of breathing
may be better than a regular
rhythm for some patients.
Developed at Harvard.
Both machines were developed
by scientists of the Harvard
School of Public Health in re-
search supported by the National
Found dation for Infantile
Paralysis.
The Harvard group is doing
research on breathing and
breathing aids for and at the
respirator center, one of 10 spe-
cial centers operating or being
set up across the country by the
March of Dimes organization.
Each center cares for a dozen
to 100 or more iron lung patients.
