matter what stake is involved,
Mr.. Tobriner replied.
Mr.. Tobriner also inquired:
do you think that under the
circumstances this class has
learned a lesson in integrity and
honesty when, after they cheated,
some of the students COM
pounded the cheating by lying?'
Yes" replied DR.. Hager
Mrs. Frank S. Phillips, another
board member, said:
II cannot feel they have had
any lesson whatsoever. It's very
discouraglng to me.
DR.. Hager, in the coure Of the
questioning. said he had evil
dence that more cheating went
on at other colleges than at the
District-run institution. He sd-
mitted, however. that cheating
has been enough of problem
in the last year TO cause special
faculty and student council &C
ton.
He also disclosed that an I'M
identified student was dismissed
from the college for dishonesty
during the past school year. He
didn't elaborate.
All the members of the class
in which the recent cheating
incident occurred got their di-
plomas at the colleges recent
graduation exercises. DR.. Hagel
said no thought had been given
to withholding any of them.

The magazine devotes l9 pages
Of its current issue to the Ma

material in these paragraphs:
Every big city has its prob

It's residents pay taxes but can't

the city as a national ShowplaCe,
but they have no real authority.
Congress rules the city
Thousands who work in
Washington don't live there or
pay taxes there. Huge numbers
OF white people are moving to

The casual use of the new
tranquilizing drugs by the pub
lie to combat everyday tensions
should be avoided, the American
Psychiatric Association warned
today.
This caution came as prescrip-
tons for the drugs by physicians
continue to soar. The Psychiatric
Association. in a statement. took
note that the often called peace
Of mind pills" will be used in
some 35 million prescriptions this
year by the end Of December.
During the year 1855, it added,
three out OF 10 compounds pre-
scribed most frequently by ply
sicians were tranquilizers.
The drugs. chlorpromazine,
promaZine, reSerpine and many
others, including innovations un-
der a multitude of trade names.
were first placed in use about
four years ago. The results
seemed to be phenomenal. The
entire atmosphere of many Of
the mental institutions has been
changed. AS in St. Elizabeths
Hospital here, the excited, vio-
lently disturbed patients have
been quieUd for the most part
under the influence OF these
drugs.

The Psychiatric Association
recognizes this but emphasizes
that the casual use OF the drugs
is medically unsound and consti-

"You probably can be more
sure of them than some Others"
DR.. Hager was questioned al
some length on his part in an
inquiry launched by the school
board recently after reports OF
cheating on true-false quiz in
philosophy class. The pro-
fessor, Dr.. Matthew j. White

and later the students were

He added he did not know the
exact nature of the cheating,
Dr.. Hager denied he had re-

the college president did.
Dr.. Hager said he had declined
to conduct the inquiry himself

He said the college adminlstra-

than about making them eX-

unimportant 15-minute quiz.

Boat Operator
Hearings Set

The House Merchant Marine
and Fisheries Committee today
began laying plans for more
public hearings on methods OF
improving safety in operating
privately owned pleasure boats.
Committee Chairman Bonner,
Democrat of North Carolina. re-
quested and received the promise
OF cooperation in planning the
sites for the hearings throughout
the country from Vice Admiral
Alfred c. Richmond. command
ant of the United States Coast
Guard At least three of the
hearings are to be held in Wash
lngton.
Admiral Richmond was ques-
toned at length by committee
members today on the problems
involved.
Several areas throughout the
country were recommended by
the admiral for committee meet
ings. He recommended New
England as number one on the
list. Among others suggested
were the Gulf of Mexico and
Florida area. the Great Lakes.
the West Coast, and some place
in the interior OF the country.
Next Hearing Tuesday
The next public hearing will
take place here in the committee
room next Tuesday. The wit
nesses will include spokesman
for the National Association of
Engine and Boat Manufacturers
and the Cupboard Boating Club
of America.
These two organizations were
reported to have been the NOV
ing forces behind the inquiry by
the committee.
Admiral Richmond recon-
mended the committee give full
opportunity to all agencies and
people interested in the prob
lem.
The commandant. in response
to committee members questions.
said he would advocate a change
in the penalty OF $1,000 fine or
Imprisonment provided in pres
ent law for reckless operation of
motorboat. II is difficult to
enforce. he testified.
Instead, he recommended that
such a penalty apply one to cases
where there is loss of life. In
addition. he proposed that there
ought to be civil penalty with
a fine OF not more than $500 for
reckless operation OF a motor
boat in cases which do not in
volve the loss OF life.
Pressed by Committee
Admiral Richmond was pressed
by several members of the COM
mittee as to whether he would
favor more stringent laws to
give additional power to the
Coast Guard SO they could force
vessels to remain in port in
stead OF defying warnings by
the Coast Guard and proceeding
to sea.
The witness said he was re-
Iluctant to have his organization
assume such power as it would
be too restrictive of the rights OF
individuals. He cited the case
OF the sailing vessel Marvel
which foundered last August in
Chesapeake Bay with loss Of life
after its master had received
warning that a hurricane was
brewing.
Representative Miller. Demo-
clat of California. strongly rec
commended that there should be
laws licensing motorboats anc
requiring revocation Of such IL
censes for cause. similar to laws
in most States now applying tc
! licenses to drive automobiles
The witness reluctantly dis
agreed with the California. con-
tending that the natural ele.
: ments on water we're entirely
different from those facing 9
, motorist on land.
