Blocks Silent Sound

A doctor charged yesterday
that q stand-pat faction in the
American Medical Association is
trying to block use Of silent"
sound in treating patients.
He Is DR.. Disraeli Kodak. Of

quencies they are inaudible to
the human ear. It has been used
on human tissues only relatively
recently in the United States,
but has been used longer in other
countries.
Opposition Group Formed.
Opponents of ultrasound med
ical techniques have established
what they call Group Z24-W21
of the American Standards As
ISOLATION" DR.. Kodak said.
"Ostensibly this group is about
to function in the interest Of
making ultrasonic practice a
switch-puller's delight and guar
antee its exploitation from dan
ger" he said.
The so-called danger is $50 far
from reality as to fall of It's own
weight when challenged by the
validity Of the many millions Of
beneficial treatments given here
and abroad" he said.
Cites "Bootlegging" Charge.
The new committees pressure
''is certain to destroy the in
itiative of worthy manufacturers
and open opportunity for con-
niving bootleggers." he said.
He said the committee hopes
to write specifications for ultra
sound machines that will "dou-
BILE or treble the cost of a de-
vice from $700 to about
$780,"
The price increase will deter
physicians buying and using the
machines, he said, adding that
that IVES the committees goal.
Food and Drug Unit Hit.
DR.. Kodak also struck at the
Food and Drug Administration.
He said it sis now apparently
stretching its ambitions beyond
the limits of its invested au-
thority, to disrupt the inten-
tions of its original program into
a state Of questionable dictator
ship. dark in its portent."
The ALUM head said the Food
and Drug Administration would
enforce the regulations planned
by his ANA opponents.
He said the proposed edict
will lessen "the gap between the
regulation of medicinals and
gadgets" and medical practice.
DR.. Kodak did not name the
leaders Of the ANA faction he
described. He said they follow
the theory that what was good
enough so years ago is good
enough today. They are blind
to progress. he said, and that
explains why they oppose the
relatively new technique Of I'LL
trasound treatment, he added.

1ayman Asks County
To Oppose Tag Act

Arthur w. Tayman, public
works director for Prince
Georges County, estimates his
county would get about $50, 200
less State road money next year
if scheduled auto tag fee in
creases are postponed.
He requested the county COM
missioners yesterday to urge
Gov. McKeldin to veto an act of
the recent Maryland Legislature
postponing for one year the
higher auto and truck fees
scheduled to take effect in the
spring of 1855.
The commissioners said they
wanted to think it over.
Mr.. Tayman pointed out that
the State Roads Commission and
the counties are counting on the
license-plate increases to help
finance Maryland's l2-year
highway modernization pro-
gram. Half of the gas tax and
auto tag revenues go to Balti-
more city and the counties for
local road building and mainte-
nance.
Mr.. Tayman said the post
ponement action would "play
havoc" with the 12-year pro-
gram.
Gov. McKeldin already has
taken a firm public stand
against the act and is expected
to veto it, whether Prince
Georges urges him to or not.

This necessitated an excava-
ton in the street. Repairmen
Nelson Walker and Leroy Day
were working in the hole at
about S pm. when the fire

Spark Suspected.
The gas company said that in
drilling a small hole for the con-
Meeting pipe spark was either
caused by a tool hitting the
main line or in the process of
taking the Gaping off the drilled
hole. The spark ignited the gas
and the men fled the excavation.

treated on the scene by the Fire
Department.
The fire was extinguished after

This was done after pressure in
the main had been reduced. A
few minutes earlier Robert Rath-
erdale Of the gas company had
cut down the fame by shooting

Green Move 10 Get
Redistricting Ruling
Siirs Up virginians.
BY the Assoeic.sd Press

RICHMOND, Mar. 2O.-The
legal monkeywrench that Re-
publican John Locke Green is
attempting to toss into the
States congressional redistrict-
ing machinery has been greeted
with a degree of glee by Demo-
Gratis and with concern by Re-
publicanS.
Arlington Attorney Green, an
noyed with the way the Govern
ment is going under the G. o. P,
took the first step Thursday to-
ward getting a court ruling on
the 1852 rediStricting act under
which three Republicans cap
tured seats In Congress from
Virginia. He sought-and was
turned down-to file as a candi-
date from the State-at-large for
Congress in the November gen.
eral elections.
Fears B0x-in Of G. o. p.
State Senator Ted Dalton, Re-
publican. who garnered IS per
cent Of the vote in last falls
election for Governor, indicated
his concern over Mr.. Green's
action which, if successful, might
box-in the Republicans by re-
quiring the election Of all 10
Congressman from the State at
large.
Mr.. Dalton, G. o. p. national
committeeman for Virginia, add
ed that the dominant State
Democratic organization ap-
peared to be putting itself in a
position now to capitalize on an
unfair" redistricting plan it
pushed through the General As
sembly two years ago.
Democrat Sees Advantage.
Jesse w. Dillon, secretary of
the State Democratic Party, and
one Of the few majority party
leaders to 60 beyond a chuckle
at the apparent dilemma the
Republicans face, said Mr..
Green's move "looks like it might
help us a lot"
Attorney-General J. Lindsay
Almond, jr. and some others had
repeatedly expressed doubt in
1852 about the population dis
PARTIES in some of the new dis
tricts. He said today, however,
he would defend the constitu-
tionality Of the 1852 act if the
court test materializes.
Representative Richard Poff.

under the 1852 act, said Mr..
Green's move "smacks of brazen
political opportunisn and will.
I am confident. be rejected by all
fair-minded Virginians, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike"
State Senator S. Floyd Land
reth. state G. o. P. chairman,
also was emphatic in saying the
G. o. P. leadership had no part
OF Mr.. Green's attack on the law.

I'VE are following the time
honored custom Of wining and

He reminded the Justice that
the parkway had been approved
by the Maryland Legislature and
expressed confidence that JUS
tice Douglas was well enough
versed in constitutional law not
to allow the judiciary to inter-
fere with the legislative. He
assured the Justice that a park
way would not "unduly disturb
the birds or frighten the fish. :"
Mr.. Walsh IS a Democrat. He
was followed by former State
Senator William A. Gunter, a
Republican.
Senator Gunter said the issue
is: Should a long strip of land
extending from Georgetown to
Cumberland be converted to a
runway for gold-plated Cadillacs
in a machine age, or should it
be preserved as foot path for
the pleasure of nature loving
pedestrian survivors of the pale
olithic age"
He recalled that in 1882, leg
islative arbitration had solved a
dispute between the B. g. o. Rail-
road and the c. & o. Canal over
the narrow gorge at Point of
Rocks by providing for the erec-
tion Of q closed fence Of boards
OF sufficient elevation to prevent
locomotive engines from alarm
ing the horses or mules hauling
the canal boats"
Mr.. Gunter suggested that the
solution Of the present contro-
versy would be the erection Of
a similar fence Ito prevent any
distractions of the pedestrians"
He further suggested electric es-
calators at intervals along the
fence so the mixers, without ex-
ira physical effort, could ascend

Justice Douglas yielded a bit
by saying the problem concerned
the proper development to bring
tens Of thousands of tourists to

OF the prettiest stretches in
any part of the world that have
visited"
"Just think" he said wistfully,

way to Cumberland without
climbing a hill or crossing a
fence" He referred to the group
which was to follow him on the
