$64 Million Clinical Center
AtBethesdo ReodyforP Patients
* 4

The wards have been made as
comfortable as possible because
some patients will be there a
long time, maybe a year. They
come close to looking like eff
cheney apartments.
Outlets for Oxygen.
Nurses, for a change, should
have an easy time of it. There
are no buzzerS. Each room is
equipped with an intercommuni-
cation system. They also have
outlets for oxygen. instead of
ponderouS cylinders.
Food will be served hot from
cleaning units which get meals
fast from the basement kitchen
via a dumb waiter.
On the 14th floor there is a
revolving chapel, for Protestant,
Catholic and Jewish services.
Also a gym-like room for recre-
alton. plus an assembly room for
movies. Each floor has a solarium
which looks out on Bethesda and
south to the Washington Monu-
iaent.
There are fascinating little
gimmicks throughout the build
ing. In the halls, just outside of
the laboratories, there are over
head showers in the ceiling. A
scientist who might splash acid
on himself can turn the safety
shower on in a flash. There are
elevators all over the place. One
will handle only trash, while an
elevator in the next shaft will
carry only sterilized material.
Talent for Research.
The full-time professional staff
of the Clinical Center will be
made up of top flight physicians
with talent for research. They
will work under Civil Service or
receive commissions as Public
Health Service officers. The doc
tors will be borrowed" from
medical schools throughout the
country or from research centers.
In time they will return to their
former posts. Consultants in ev-
cry speciality of medicine will be
called in from now and then for
diagnosis or treatment.
The private physician who
turns over" his patient to the
Clinical Center will be kept
abreast of all developments and
then will take over again on the
patients release.
DR.. w. H. Sebrell, head of the
National Institutes, and DR.. John
A Trautman, who will direct the
Clinical Center, plan to start
slowly.
Only 20 patients are arriving
Monday and the staff is being
increased gradually.
1--WE know it's going to be ex-
pensive." DR.. Sebrell said, "but
I can't say just how expensive.
We are going to do a good job.
It might cost more but it will
not be shoddy."
He said $50 to 200 patients
would be at the center by next
summer.
These patients can be called
volunteers" They can get up
and leave any time they want.
They don't have to do anything.
Their welfare, according to
PHS officials, will be the over
riding principle governing any
research step that is taken.
They'll not be guinea pigs
but people who are adding their
small bit to the fight against di-
SeaSe.

Fairfax Seeks Farley
With Other Counties

The Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors has decided to poll
other fast-growing counties in
Virginia about the possibility of
forming a conference to discuss
their mutual problems.
The Supervisors terday
voted to write officials of Arling-
ton, Norfolk, Roanoke, Henrico
and Chesterfield Counties asking
If they would be interested in
such a conference.
George Bayes, who is seeking
the Democratic nomination to
the House Of Delegates from
Fairfax County and Falls
Church, originated the confer
ence idea and it was on his rec
Ommendation that the Supervi-
sors acted yesterday.
According to Mr.. BayeS, the
fast-growing counties have prob
lens that more rural counties
sometimes don't understand. By
meeting and discussing these
problems, Mr.. Bayes believes the
faSt-growing counties might
agree on some legislation to seek
at the next session of the Cen
eral Assembly to meet their
peculiar problems.
The supervisors were advised
that Warren QuenStedt had been
named chairman of the tax
study committe which the super
visors recently appointed to study
Fairfax's fiscal problems. Don
aid wilkins has been named
secretary. The committee has
set up three subcommittees: l
Present State taxes and their
distribution to local governments;
2. Present county tax structure
and 3. Alternate county revenue

paign strategy session in WASH
ington and expressed consider
able concern" over meager party
finances.
Ted Dalton. candidate for

The high, wide and handsome
Clinical Center of the United
States Public Health Service
opened today in Bethesda.
Within it's IA stories of red
brick, scientists and doctors
and for the first time, the sick
will be working together to ease
society's heavy and costly bur-
den of chronic disease.
Part of the National Institutes
of Health, research arm of the
Public Health Service, the Clin-
ical Center is quite a place
Nothing like it, at least on such
a scale, has ever been tried be-
fore.
The patients, for example, will
have to pass a physical" to get
in. They'll receive fine, expen-
sive, yet free medical care. Some
will not really require hospital
ization and most of them will
not necessarily be cured" when
they leave. But all will contrib
ute to the solution of important
medical problems.
First Arrive Monday.
The first patients will arrive
Monday. They will fill out the
roster of a research team for
the study of chronic or long
term Illnesses like cancer, high
blood pressure or mental trou-
BILE.
These patients have been Sc
lected from Washington, Balti-
more and nearby Virginia. The
physical" one group undergoes
will call for a certain age and
weight, with a similar pattern
in the history of their illness.
The main requirement is that
all have cancer of the cervix.
They will be patients of the Ma
tional Cancer Institute. They
represent a problem scientists
at the Cancer Institute are most
interested in right now. When
the project is finished, the pa
tients will go home-or back to
another hospital.
Undoubtedly, by that time,
science and the medical profess
sion will know little more
about cancer.
Actually a Laboratory.
The Clinical Center is actu-
ally a tremendous laboratory.
Equipped to handle 500 patients,
it has space for 1000 labora-
tories. Here, science hopes to
close a great gap in research,
that of taking laboratory find
ingS right in to bedside evalua. {.
ton. This is the main purpose of
the Clinical Center.
It was on the drawing board
from 1947 to 1949 when actual
construction began. Former
President Truman laid the cor
nerstone. Now finished except
for a few storm sewers and aux
iliary structures, it represents a
total investment of about $64
million.
The laboratories are on the
north side of the building. BY
walking a few steps south, SCI
entists will be on the hospital
side. There are two beds to each
room and two types of rooms.
One is for the bed-ridden pa
tient-the other for the up-and-
walking patient. Both are done
in cool and pleasant color
schemes. There Is no hospital

Fenwick Proposes
State Tax Revision
ToEqua|ize Load
BY the Assoeioted Press

State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick thinks Virginia's tax laws
need overhauling to bring fairer
distribution of the tax load.
Speaking in Pittsylvania
County yesterday, the Arlington
lawmaker said he had become
convinced in his campaigning
over the State that the small
home owner and farmer are
greatly concerned about rising
taxes.
They are the people who are
being asked to provide the funds
for the social services demanded
by the people in conformity with
the needs of our times" he said.
THE burden has been placed
upon the aged widow. the dis
abled worker and the young
fresh from the wars with fam
lily to support =.
Stanley Ridicules Statement.
IF elected governor. I shall
do all in my power to revise our
tax system and to more fairly
equalize the distribution of State
funds to the localities"
While Mr.. Fenwick was dis
cuSsing taxes. his opponent in
the July IA Democratic guber-
material primary, Thomas B.
Stanley, was ridiculing a Fen
wick statement that Mr.. Stanley
didn't want a heavy vote turn
out.
Mr.. Stanley said the remark
was more than ridiculous-it is
asinine."
He said his chief objective has
been to obtain a large vote and
added:
MY campaign has been
planned the way my friends and
desire it, instead Of the way
Mr.. Fenwick wants us to con-
duct it. Mr.. Fenwick seems
irked that he cannot run my
campaign.
Desperation" Charged.
GAS this campaign approaches
a close, I am just wondering
how desperate my opponent can
get"
Mr.. Fenwick had said Mr..
Stanley figured he would win
with a small turnout. therefore
had refused his invitation to
pay for a radio and television
debate on the issues. The
Arlington lawmaker said Mr..
Stanley's refusal displays an at
titude of "brazen contempt" for
the people of Virginia.
In his Pittsylvania County
address at Hurt, Mr.. Fenwick
said Mr.. Stanley wants local
government to perform more of
the services now rendered by the
State and seems to regard hand
outs from the State govern
ment on a par with those from
the Federal Government.
The result of this view, Mr..
Fenwick said, could result in
higher taxes on land and per-
sonal property at the. local level.
Last night, Mr.. Fenwick flew
to Blacksburg to address the
conference of farm cooperatives.

Lack Of Hearing
In Rate Raises
Cites Report on
Sonitory Commission
Need of Increases
By Gene Goodwin


Gov. McKeldin believes the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission should have held q
public hearing before it passed
on increased charges to its some
81. 1000 customers in nearby Mary
land two months ago.
"I can't understand why, with
all the evidence on their side,
they couldn't have called the
public in for a hearing" the Gov
ernor told The Star during an
interview in Annapolis yesterday.
He called attention to the re-
port of Ford, Bacon & Davis, the
New York engineering consultant
firm which was hired to investi-
gate the sanitary commission
last year. The report, delivered
early in 1853, recommended that
the commission increase its rev.
enues to clear up long standing
deficits.
The sanitary commission In
April added a IA cent sewage
charge to it's present water rate
of 81 cents per 1000 gallons. It
also increased it's Montgomery
County refuse collection rate from
$1.65 to $2.25 a month, raised its
incinerator charge from 50 to "a
per ton and decided that the new
front-foot benefit charges on wa
ter and sewage installations
made last year would be Is cents
per front foot for each service.
Appointees of Governor.
Gov. McKeldin said he had
received only few letters pro-
testing the increased charges.
He added, however, he doubted
whether many nearby Maryland
residents realized that the sani-
tary commission is a State
agency and that he appoints
the three commissioners.
Asked whether he felt any
reorganization of the commission
was needed, the Governor said
that is a question for suburban
Maryland residents to decide.
1.-THE sanitary commission
was founded SO years ago at
the request of Montgomery and
Prince Georges County resi-
dents," he declared. ANY change
in the structure of the commits.
sion should originate from them
not from me-"
He said it might be a good
idea to bring in a general man
ager, as was recommended by
Ford, Bacon & Davis.
NOn-Expert Salaries.
I'VE can't expect to get ex-
perts to sit on the commission at
those salaries" he said. The
three commissioners now receive
$4,000. 5000 and $4,000 a year.
But perhaps it's more impor-
tant that the commission have
a good chief engineer rather
than a general manager" the
Governor added. "And think it
does have a good chief engineer
now"
Harry B. Shaw, who has been
with the commission % years,
is the chief engineer.
Asked about one proposal that
the sanitary commission be re-
quired to submit proposed rate
increases to the Maryland Public
Service Commission for approval
as private utilities are required
to do, the Governor said he
doubts whether that should or
could be done"
mo other State agency is re-
quired to do that" he said.
The public service commission
has agreed to hold a hearing on
the recent sanitary commission
rate increases in answer to sew
eral protests from civic groups
and individuals, but the sanitary
agency did not have to submit
the new charges to the PSC for
approval.
That hearing is scheduled for
July % in Baltimore. Civic groups
are attempting to have it moved
to the Washington area.
