Art Gallery Objects
TO Providing Space
For Smithsonian

The National Gallery Of Art
has opposed a plan to set aside
space in the gallery temporarily
for the Smithsonian Institution S
collection of art.
Representative Thompson
Democrat Of New Jersey, made
the proposal'in a bill intropuced
March is. He noted that for
many years Smithsonian has
been collecting objects for a Col
lection Of Fine Arts authorized
by Congress, but that no progress
has been made on a building to
house it. He proposed the Ma
tional Art Gallery provide space
until such building goes up.
David E. Finley, National Gal
lery director, expressed his op-
position in a letter made public
by Mr.. Thompson yesterday.
Mr.. Finley, who said the Fed
eral budget Bureau shared his
view, wrote that mo space would
be available" for the Smith
sonian collection. One reason, he
said, is that much of the Smith
sonian collection. under terms OF
acceptance. must be shown zen
bloc
He said the National Gallery
trustees hope Mr.. Thompson
would be successful in efforts to
push construction of a separate
building for the Smithsonian.

BY CHARLES G. BROOKS

One out Of every three persons
going to the Multiple Sclerosis
Center at George Washington
University Hospital discovers he
doesn't have the dreaded nerve
disease after all.
This means much Of the work
81 the center's personnel results
in lifting the psychological fear
of this incurable disease.
But, the work of the center is
a drama of too little, although
never too late. There are an
estimated $500 persons afflicted
with multiple sclerosis in the
greater Washington area.
Attacks Nervous System
The disease is tied to the CEN
trail nervous system. Briefly
myelin-the insulation material
around the nerves - disappears
in places, and communication
from the brain through the
nerves to various parts Of the
body is interrupted.
This may result in paralysis
OF certain parts of the body
sometimes temporary or per-
manent blindness and other
troubles.
There is no cure. But, MS
patients can be helped. Although
hundreds Of thousands of dollars
throughout the world are being
poured into research to find the
cause OF the disappearance of
myeln, so far only the patients
symptoms can be treated.
This may be in the form of
exercise. special medicine to i'm
prove nutrition, muscular re-
taxation, curtailment Of tremor
and improvement Of bladder
control.
Actually. not much more can
be done, although the patient
may generally look forward to
remissions-temporary disap-
pearance Of the disabling symp-
toms.
OF the one-third who think
they have MS and don't, some
may suffer from other diseases,
perhaps not as serious. Occasion
ally the trouble is mental and a
historical paralysis has been
misconstrued as paralysis from
multiple sclerosis.
Spine Tumor Discovered
Not long ago. a 35-year-old
Government secretary was ad-
viSed by doctors that she seemed
to have multiple sclerosis. 1t was
a tough blow but she resigned
herself to it.
Eventually she went to the MS
Center. She went through spe-
cial tests and 1t was discovered
she was suffering from a tumor
on the spine.
Subsequent surgery removed
it. If the tumor had not been
discovered. the woman always
would have thought she had the
nerve disease. she would be in
a wheelchair now" doctor said,
instead of being cured" IRE
versible changes to her spine
would have occurred.
Frequently, multiple sclerosis
is difficult to diagnose. The CEN
ter offers its services TO anyone
in this area referred to it by
physicians or those who come
without references. But, when it
comes to special tests, they must
be paid for. The tests, in some
cases, require disqualification and
expenses up TO 500 or more.
1ndigents may make use OF the
city'S free clinics.
There are, however, many per-
sons who are not INDECENT and
who have little money-too little
for expensive tests.
