scribed as blood traffic with a

the movement which shattered
the Frank Hague Democratic or
ganization in 1949, said today
he will resign, effective January

The 60-year-old Mayor said
he will continue as Democratic
leader of Hudson County, a post
held by Mr.. Hague. one of the
last of the oldtime party bosses,
for almost three decades.
Mr.. Kenny told reporters. MY
resignation has nothing to do
with my health. I've just had

reflected the Mccarthy view
point, but when Mr.. Snyder was
asked today if he expected that
the same thing would be true

The Wisconsin Republican set
up the test with a "spur of the

ing a television broadcast of a
statement on his controversy
with Gen. Eisenhower and Sec
retary of State Dulles.
Senator Mccarthy said after
wards he interpolated the state

"I think it would be a good
thing to let the President know
what the country IS thinking"

Senator still more remained to

been working hard to smooth
over the ruff1ed feelings between

pressed the opinion the Repub-
lican Party was still unified -
despite the headline-producing

Over 300 Attend Commissioners Hearing
On Plan to Use Animals in Research

since has been successfully used
on humans whose normal heart
valves are damaged or poorly
constructed.
Center of the argument at the
Commissioners hearing is a pro-
posed order which would allow
the city pound to release for
medical research animals which
would otherwise be destroyed in
the pounds gas chamber.
Most Controversial.
1t has been described by op-
ponents and proponents as one
of the most controversial orders
ever considered by the Commits
sioners.
Main argument presented by
the physicians was that .vivisec-
tion-use of animals in expert
ments-has contributed to longer
life for humans and has made
Washington a leading medical
center.
DR.. Frederick C. Heath, acting
director of public health, said
the Health Department heartily
indorses the proposed order.
Dogs are regarded as the best
animals for experiments" he
said. Research has produced
very satisfactory results which
can be of benefit not only to
the community, but to dogs as
we'll"
He said such research has per-
mitted a marked advance, par
ticularly in surgery.
Says Care Is Good.
DR.. Heath-as we'll as some of
the other physicians who testi-
fied-anticipated an argument of
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. by pro-
claiming that dogs used in medi-
cal research are we'll cared for
and happy. He estimatd that
while about 1900 dogs were used
last year in experiments in the
District, as many as 5000 might
be used if they were available.
DR.. Thomas McPhearSon
Brown of the George Washing
ton University School of Medi-
cine, stressed that sit would be
safe to say that in this room at
this moment several or many
people would not be living today
had it not been for research on
dogs" He said G. w. U. used
328 dogs last year. and would like
to use 1000 year.
DR.. Frederick c. FiShback, as
sociate professor of surgery at
Georgetown University. told the
Commissioners that experiments
with animals had done a great
deal in "lengthening life and
arresting disease" DR.. Fishback
said that 10 per cent of the
animals impounded are de-
stroyed and that many of these
would be useful in medical re-
search.

U. 5. Ship Carrying
Wheat 10 REFUGEES
Fired On by Egypt
Called Warning Shot;
Apparently Believed
Headed for Israel
BY the Associated Press

CAIRO, Egypt, Dec. Am
American freighter carrying g.
600 tons of gift wheat for Arab
refugees from Palestine was
fired on in the Gulf of Ababa
yesterday. Her owners in New
York said there was no damage
or casualties.
An Egyptian official here said
an Egyptian shore battery fired
what he called a warning shot
at the freighter, the Albion, be-
cause she failed to heed an or
der to halt for inspection. The
American Embassy here had re-
ported the incident earlier.
The Gulf of Aqaba is east of
Egypt's Sinai peninsula.
Ceremonies at Unloading.
The Albion is scheduled to un-
load at the Jordan port of Aqaba
at the head of the gulf tomor-
row. Ceremonies are planned in
connection with the arrival of
the gift wheat.
Drytrans, Inc, of New York
owns the 7,-255-ton ship. Her
master is Capt. James H. Has
sell Of East Williston, N. Y, and
her home port is Wilmington,
Del.
1t appeared likely that the
Egyptian gunners had believed
the ship was destined for Elath,
an Israeli port also at the head
of the gulf to which considerable
traffic is routed to circumvent
Arab Egypt's ban on Israel
bound shipping passing through
the Suez Canal.
New Effort to Reach Port.
The Albion reported she had
pulled out of the firing area, hut
was making another attempt to-
day to reach Aqaba port.
The Embassy said it had made

Egyptian government and that
President Mohammed Naguib's
regime had given assurances
that action would pe taken to
facilitate the ships passage
through Aqaba Gulf"

monial welcome was being pre-
pared for the Albion and its load

Two Medical Schools
To Send PsYchiatrists
To General Hospital
George Washington
And Georgetown Agree
To Join Project
By Miriam Gutenberg

The medical schools of George
town and George Washington
Universities finally have agreed
to start sending their physicians
into the District General Hos
pitfalls much-criticized psychiatric
division, The Star learned today
Four psychiatristS, assigned by
the heads of the departments
of psychiatry at the two medical
schools, already have started Wis
iting. Each will be assigned a diff
ferent day for his weekly visit
Since 1947, The Star has been
urging the medical schools to
make a teacher center of the
psychiatric division. as they
have in other divisions of the
hospital. This has long been
recommended by experts as a
means of inSuring better treat
ment for the patients.
Superintendent JubiIant.
Supt. Philip 40 E. Stebbing
of District General was jubilant
about the new interest shown by
the medical schools.
This is big step forward, /"
he said. II hope the psychiatric
division will develop into as val
liable a teaching area as others
in the hospital"
He said that whenever a
teaching staff comes in, service
improves. He expressed his con-
fidence that the decision of the
medical schools will result in
better care for the patients.
DR.. Stebbing said the "enthu-
siastic support of members of
the mental health section of the
District Medical Society has
been a large factor in bringing
this about"
1t was recalled that several
members of the mental health
section volunteered as visiting
pSychiatriSts, but the hospital
bylaws require that attending
physicians must be nominated
by deans of the medical schools.
DR.. Stebbing suggested that
the medical schools nominate
these men. After considerable
negotiation, the medical schools
decided to send men from their
own teaching staffs.
First Visiting Psychiatrists.
This is the first time the long
neglected psychiatric division
has had visiting psychiatrists
Repeated efforts were made in
the past to get the medical
schools interested, but they took
the position that they did not
want their students to see sub
standard conditions.
DR.. Joseph L. Gilbert, chief
psychiatrist in the division and
District alienist, resigned effec-
tive October 81. He had been
with the hospital since 1881. He
had claimed considerable juris-
diction over patients because of
| his long experience, although he
was one of two men running the
psychiatric division.

In Addicts Program
Until Congress Acts
Arronoes Conference
Of Officials Monday
To Settle Question

United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover today raised doubts that
any of the Districts dope addictS
can be committed under the new
compulsory disqualification law
until Congress passes another
bill for their admission to Fed
eral hospitals.
Mr.. Rover, whose Office would
process the commitments, ar
ranged a conference for Monday
at 8 pm. to settle the question.
He said he would meet with
Commissioner Renah Camalier,
District General Hospital Super
intendent Philip A. E. Stebbing
and Capt. John B. Layton of
the police morals division.
Mr.. Rover said he wants to
know whether District General
Hospital can offer enough treat
ment to meet the laws require
ment that the drug user be
rehabilitated.
Can't Provide Treatment.
District General has just COM
pleted preparing a 16-bed unit
in it's psychopathic division for
addicts. DR.. Stebbing has en-
phasized however, that addicts
can be taken off drugs during
their stay in the unit but can
not be offered treatment leading
to rehabilitation.
DR.. Stebbing visualiZed his
unit as a temporary stopovel
until the addicts can be removed
to Federal narcotics hospitals
The hitch, however. is that ad-
diets committed under the COM
pulsory disqualification law can
not be admitted to the Federal
hospitals until the Senate acts
on a House passed bill enabling
the Federal hospitals to take
them.

ton act" said Mr.. Rover 'is
