Identification Tag Is Approved
For Diobetic, EpiIeptic Victims

He estimated that there are
more than 5000 sufferers from
epilepsy and approximately
5000 diabetes in Washington.
From a medical point Of
view," DR.. Seckinger said, IAN
identity trinket would be Of very
considerable value. In fact, it
could save lives"
He proposed that the bracelet
or tag should state the nature of
the persons ailment and give the
name of the physician to be noti-
fed.
To Prepare Material.
At the meeting Wednesday, he
said, he will have some medical
experts present to explain to top
police officials some of the Symp-
toms frequently mistaken for
alcoholism. He said he would
also prepare some material to be
distributed to the force.
The plan was also indorsed by
DR.. Wallace Yater.. president OF
the District Medical Society. He
said he was confident that pri-
vate physicians would instruct
their patients to get the identif1-
cation devices as soon as they are
ready.
On the score of epilepsy, DR..
Yater pointed out that many Of
its victims don't know they have
it. He said they are aware-from
what others tell them-that they
are subject to spells" but the
illness is not labeled. He sug-
gested that instead Of putting
'epileptic" on the Identification
device. it should read lin case Of
Inconsistencies, notify ="
AS for diabetes, DR.. Yater said
it was easy to mistake an insulin
reaction for alcoholism or psy-
chotic behavior. A patient suffer-
ing from an overdose of insulin,
he said, would stagger and be
unaware of what he was doing.

100000 Hospital Rising
As Calvert Hits the Jackpot

Louis L. GoldStein, Democrat.
The measure provided that the
first $3.50, 900 of slot machine rev.
enue be used to build a hospital.
Later, the bill was amended to
increase the amount to $500, 900.
To the 100000 from slot ma
chimes. the Government added
an equal amount as a grant
under the Hill-Burton Act. From
miscellaneous sources, $4,000 was
scraped together and the re-
mainder will be raised by the
people of the county.
The slot machine proposal at
first stunned the county's deeply
religious people and a hot fight
was on. Three hospital directors
resigned. One, DR.. Hugh C. Ward,
returned to the board and has
been active in carrying out the
plan.
Slot machines were approved
in a referendum in June, 1947,
by a four -to-one ratio after a
heated campaign.

Bea|I 10 Offer
Bill on Care for
Dope Addicts
To Work With Miller
On House Measure
For disqualification

Senator .Beall, Republican Of
Maryland, said last night he will
introduce toborrow a bin to COM
pei disqualification of dope
addictS.
The bill was introduced last
Monday in the House by Repre-
sentative Miller, Republican. of
Nebraska. Senator Beall said he
wanted to cooperate with DR..
Miller on what he considers a
good bill.
1000 Known Users
The Maryland legislator said
he had been startled" by figures
shown him by United States At
torney Charles M. Irelan and AS
sistant United States Attorney
Artur D. Schaffer on the extent
of dope addiction and the mar
cotics traffic in Washington. The
prosecutors, he said, estimated
there are nearly 1000 known
dope users in Washington and
a dope traffic that runs into
many millions of dollars.
eff we're going to wipe this
out" Senator Beall said, "we'd
better begin with the habitual
users. AS long as there are GUS
toners, there are going to be
law violators.
"This bill is aimed at getting
rid of the customers by commit
ting them to the hospital for
treatment. Then it's up to the
law-enforcement officers to get
rid of the peddlers."
He said he thought the COM
pulsory disqualification bill was
the most effective and most hu-
name way to cope with "a very
unfortunate situation"
Senator Beall heads the
Health and Public Service SUBJ
committee of the Senate Dis
trict Committee.
Public Hearing Thursday.
DR.. Miller, who headed a sim
liar subcommittee of the House
District committee in the last

An identification bracelet or
locket to prevent diabetic and
epileptic sufferers from being
arrested as drunks has won Of
fetal approval, it was learned
last night.
Police and Health Department
officials will meet Wednesday at
- pm. to work out the details.
The plan for an easily located
| identification device grew out OF
inquiries made by The Star after
a man suffering an epileptic
seizure was arrested and taken
to a police station in a patrol
wagon.
Some Do Garry Cards.
Sufferers from diabetes and
epilepsy frequently carry iden-
tification cards in their wallets
but, Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray explained, police do not GUS
tomarily open a mans wallet on
the street when he is arrested
for minor OtfenSe.
Chef Murray said that as a
matter of public policy. police
usually wait until the accused
is at the station house where
numerous witnesses are present
when the station clerk looks
through the prisoners valuables.
Therefore, The Stars inquir-
les showed. the Identification
card is no protection against be-
ing arrested as a drunk or Tor
some other minor violation,
chief Murray said police
would welcome some quick form
of identification that would in
sure prompt medical care rather
than trip to the station house
Seckinger Indorses Plan.
Health Director Daniel L.
Seckinger also promptly in
dorsed the idea of an identifica-
ton bracelet or locket. He said
he thought the Health Depart
ment might be able to provide
them at 20 great cost.

Young Republicans
To Consider Choice
For Flanagan Post
The District Young Republican

The District Young Republican
Club will meet, probably this
week, to start considering who it
may recommend as a successor
to James H. Flanagan, resigned
chairman of the District Public
Utilities Commission.
Mr.. Flanagan submitted his
resignation Friday to become a
vice president of the Capital
Transit Co. The resignation is
effective February %.
PUG members are appointed by
the President. The chairman is
elected by the membership OF
three.
When the Young Republicans
meet, they also may take up the
question of replacement for the
other civilian member of the
commission, Kenneth w. Spen-
Ger. Mr.. Spencer's three-year
term expires June 80.
The third PUG commissioner
ship is occupied by the District
Engineer Commissioner.
Contrary To Good Taste
Carl L. Shipley, president of
the Young Republicans, sounded
off against Mr.. Flanagan's ac-
ceptance of the Capital Transit
job. "It's a very bad thing for a
public servant to quit his job to
go with a company he had been
regulating" he declared. 1T is
contrary to propriety and good
taste"
While Chairman Flanagan is
an acknowledged Democrat,
Commissioner Spencer, a long
time District resident, says his
politics is ''Washingtonian."
Whatever Mr.. Spencer's affili-
ations, Mr.. Shipley said he must
go when his PUG term expires.
This would be in line with the
Young Republicans views that
all top patronage" jobs in Dis
trict government should be filled
by Republicans.
Follows 2-Party System.
"This is in accordance with
our traditional two-party syS-
tem," he said, adding, "it's not
a question of personalities"
"Our city government is in
terrible shape" he added.
Republican Party officials say
there is little change in the Com
missioner replacement picture.
They may meet in about week,
however, to reduce the number
of candidates to a reasonable
size for presentation to Presi-
dent Eisenhower.
OF about a dozen who have
either tossed their own hats into
the ring, or had them tossed in
by friends and organizations, at
least six have dropped out OF
their own volition.
Leaders Mentioned.
Repeatedly among these are
Joseph c. McGarraghy, chair
man of the State Committee;
Clyde D. Garrett, attorney; Ed
Edward F. Colladay, attorney;
Lewis T. Breuninger, realtor;
George L. Hart. attorney, and L.
Corrin Strong, who has been
mentioned for the Ambassador
ship for Norway.
Among others. Mrs. Howard A.
Coffin, ardent party campaigner
and fund-raiser, is repeatedly
leading the field.

British Trade With Reds
Up 2,0OO9d, Butler Says

Senator Butler, Republican. of
Maryland says British exports to
Red China were 1000 per cent
greater in the first two months
of this year than in January and
February, 1852, as measured by
their pound sterling value.
He said yesterday the increase
was noted despite the recent
agreement reached with Foreign
Minister Anthony Eden" of
Britain.
The agreement mentioned by
the Senator was negotiated in
March, after the reported rise.
Under it, the British agreed to
deny fueling service at any of
their ports to ships carrying
strategic goods to Red China.
Senator Butler said figures
from source in Britain which
he did not name showed Brit
ish exports to Red China in Jan
uary were valued at IL million
pounds, compared with "a mere
$4,000 pounds in January a year
ago." He said February exports
were valued at $4,000 pounds,
compared with $4,000 in Feb
ruary, 1852.

tremely uneasy over the new
Government security-loyalty
program.
Mr.. Young, who had wanted
stronger appeal rights for en-
ployes than the program gives
them, said he is satisfied the
program will not harm Federal
workers.
ut Is a constructive program
and should not work to the dis
advantage of Federal employees"
Mr.. Young replied. II do not
regard it as a menace in any
way"
The commission will have
supervisory authority in the
security program to see that
employe rights are not violated
and Mr.. Young appears deter
mined that any irregularities be
corrected as soon as they are
uncovered.

Foreign Aid Request
Might Be Cut Below
81 Billion, Taber Says
BY the AssoeIoted Press

Representative Taber, Repub-
lican, of New York, said today
next years foreign aid request
might be set finally at less than
81 billion by cutting of unused
funds from past years.
Mr.. Taber, chairman of the
House Appropriations Commit
tee, said the Eisenhower admin
istration has set a tentative total
of $50 billion for foreign aid in
the fiscal year starting July l,
compared with SIS billion rec
commended by former President
Truman.
But Mr.. Taber said the admin
istration has promised to SUBJ
tract from it's $50 billion esti-
mate all funds for foreign aid
that remain unobligated when
the current fiscal year ends
June 30.
This additional cut, he said in
an interview. might readily be
SIS to So billion dollars" II it
were the latter the foreign aid
appropriation for the year would
run $3.8 billion. Spending pre-
sumably would run higher, in
Guiding funds voted in previous
wears and obligated before
June 80.
May Seek Cut to SIS Billion.
Mr.. Taber'S counterpart in the
Senate, Chairman Bridges of the
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee, did not go that far, but he
gave indications his committee
may try to lop the figure down
to an even SIS billion.
Senator McCarran, Democrat,
Of Nevada, a member of Senator
Bridges group, commented, how
ever, that the $50 billion Ought
to be cut in half"
Hearings on foreign aid are
scheduled to begin next Tuesday.
A sharp fight was predicted by
some congressman if the figure
remains unchanged.
Mr.. Taber said administration
officials promised to subtract
unobligated funds from new
budget requests during President
Eisenhower's White House ses-
sion with congressional leaders
yesterday.
Large Unspent Balance.
The Joint Congressional Com
mittee on Reduction of Nom
Essential Federal Expenditures
reported last Tuesday that, as
of January 81, the Government
had $135 billion in unspent APP
preparations. OF this, $13 billion
was available for foreign aid.
Some of the total unspent, how
ever. has been obligated.
The Senate Banking Commit
tee, meanwhile, said cutting
United States foreign aid with
out putting something in it's
place to sustain foreign trade
would invite a world depression.
1T would be the surest way
to promote and expand inter-
national communism" the COM
mittee said in recommending a
resolution calling for a $150.000
study of world trade in the next
nine months.
