it causes a great deal of disability
and may even be fatal. smoking
may be even more hazardous
than has been hitherto recog-I
nized."
The report was made by Drs.
Francis C. Lowell, William
Franklin. Alan L. Nicholson and
Irving w. Schiller, all from the
Massachusetts Memorial Hospi-I
tails.
They said they studied 40 pa
tients with chronic obstructive
pulmonary emphysema. None
had shown unusual lung symp-
toms before the age of 40 and
none had other diseases which
could account for their symp-
toms.
All Heavy Smokers
All of them had been heavy
smokers of cigarettes. the doctors
said, adding that interesting
points for speculation was the
discovery among those patients
of 10 cases Of peptic ulcer and
two of lung cancer.
The physicians said the asSo-
citation of smoking with empty
soma cannot be explained on
the basis of chance" since sur
vey of similar population
without the disease indicated
that 100 per cent incidence OF
smoking among their more than
40 patients would not be expect
ed unless there was an actual
connection between smoking and
the disease.

Drs. George B. Starkey and

Additional Dams Urged
For Potomac Drainage

LUKE, Md, Sept. 24.-In the
mountains just above here is Q
Iman-made wonders 6.5-billion-
gallon reservoir that plays a part
in the attempt TO clean and con-
Itrol the Potomac River.
SO important has the Savage
River Dam and It's resulting res
lervoirs in this mountain vastness
that Is the drainage area for the
upper Potomac.
The Savage Dam is In the
mountains above Luke and about
| IL miles up river from Cumber-
lana.
Senator Beall. who as a Re-
publican Representative from
this area did much to get the
Savage River Dam. has pledged
his support In obtaining Other
holding basins. Representative
Hyde, Republican member Of
1.-THE House from this district. also
has pledged his support to the
effort.
It has been suggested by the
Upper Potomac River Board,
an informal group composed Of
Representatives Of municipalitie;
and industries In the Luke Cum.
berland area. that additional
dams, or holding basins. viii
contribute substantially to thu
future welfare Of the Upper
Potomac Valley.
Additional dams. they say, vii

branch for Industrial purposes.
He said that In normal times the
dam Is planned to maintain q
minimum flow In the Potomac OF
$50 million gallons q day.
The dam was handled so ac-
lcurately last year that, by taking
daily readings Of the river gauge
upstream at Kitzmiller and
regulating the gates on the Saw
Iage dam accordingly. the Poto-
mac flow varied hardly at all on
the water gauge during the en-
tire summer.
Other benefits from the dam,
Mr.. Patrick said, are pollution
abatement by providing more
water, incidental flood control
and municipal water supplies.

industry to locate plants In this
area.
The Savage River Dam has

most critical.
Julian @. Patrick. acting
chairman of the Upper Potomac
River Board and supervisory
engineer for the Commission.
said the Savage River Dam has
proved to be such an asset that
industrial and municipal leaders
believe additional water storage
capacity will add to the benefits
Ito the area.
Mr.. Patrick said that the dam
really proved itself a year ago
during Hurricane Hazel, when
more than five inches Of rain
lfell in the Upper Potomac VAL
ley In about nine hours.
Mr.. Patrick said that during
that storm the dam prevented
the Savage from cresting at the
same time as the North Branch
lof the Potomac, thus preventing
disaster at Cumberland down.
stream.
But Of even more Importance
over a long period, MIR. Patrick
said, the Savage Dam has helped
maintain an even flow In the
Potomac during the dry summer
periods.
The North Branch Of the
Potomac rises high in the noun
ltains above here. and its drop to
Luke is estimated at about SO
feet per mile.
During dry years 1t may be-
come little more than q trickle,
| AT such times in the past. the
North Branch was loaded be-
You'd capacity with the wastes
from both industries and munic-
qualities.
So critical was the water situa-
| ton In this area that on more
than one occasion industrial de-
Iyelopmenf was hindered because
Iof an unsatisfactory water sup
ply for industrial use.
Therefore. Mr.. Patrick said. the

JESSUP. Md. Sept. "a R.-
The age-old idea of making the
punishment At the crime is all
wet, at least in Maryland. AS
proof of its conviction. the State
has embarked on a $40 million
gamble near here called the
Patuxent Institution.
Believed to be the only place
Of its kind in the Nation, Patux-
ent is the testing ground for
what its director, DR.. Harold M.
Boslow, describes as a new,
dynamic concept" in the han
ding of a special type of crini-
nal.
He is the unpredictable crinii-
nal who, because Of mental de-
ficiency or emotional unbalance,
poses a constant danger to So
ciety. Defective delinquents,
penologists call them.
At Patuxent the key to the
handling of defective delinquents
is the indeterminate sentence. In
effect, it means that q man
whose delinquency has led him
to commit a relatively minor
crime and might later lead him
to commit a serious one cannot
return TO society until his con-
dition has been remedied.
Fit the Personality
INSTEAD of making the pun
ishment fit the crime says DR..
Boslow, I'VE make it fit the per-
sonality of the offender.
One offender at Patuxent is
q wounded war veteran with a
long record of molesting chill
dren. Several prison terms failed
to dissuade him from repeating
the offense.
Another is a young man with
an extensive history of progress
sively worse crimes, many Of
them committed after escapes
from juvenile institutions. He is
not an insane criminal and
therefore cannot be placed in
one of the special wards for such
persons at the various State mem
tai hospitals.
Like a child, he simply still
has to adjust to the basic laws
of man.
IF a man who is normal
mentally, at least--robs a bank,
he is likely to get 10 or 20 years
in prison" explains DR.. Boslow.
But If a dangerous psyche
path steals a loaf of bread. he
is likely to get 10 or 20 days
in Jail. And when he is released,
he may kill the first person who
crosses him"
