Capital Transit
Safety Quiz Set

An investigation of the safety
practices of the Capital Transit
Co. has been ordered by the
Public Utilities Commission.
George E. c. Hayes, utilities
commission chairman, said that
in view of a statement attrib-
uted to A. Julian Brylawski. the
commission is obligated to make
an investigation.
Mr., Brylawski is a member
of the Commissioners Traffic
Advisory Council. The state
ment was that the transit COM
pany'S safety division has been
weakened and that five COM
pany vehicles have been involved
in fatalities so far this year as
compared with only one death
last year.
Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Lane,
commission member, said traffic
accidents are not always predic-
table. but that the complaint
should be investigated to see if
there is a cause which can be
corrected.
E. Cleveland Giddings. vice
president of Capital Transit, said
the company stands on its
present and past safety record,
He added, 1T is the best, in the
United States for transit opera
ton of this size"
David B. Karrick, who will be
sworn in Friday as successor to
Commissioner Samuel Spencer,
was to meet with the Commits
sionerS this afternoon to go over
various matters pending before
the city heads. including the
transit problem.
The Commissioners worked
with members of the Public
Utilities Commission this morn
ing on a draft of a proposed new
franchise for Capital Transit
following suggestions last week
by House Commerce subcom-
mittee.
The District Commissioners
face two conflicting congress
sional policies. The House sub
committee directed that a COM
promise be worked out with
Capital Transit to keep the
company III bushes after Au-
gust IA. when it's franchise is
scheduled to be forfeited. The
Senate District Committee wants
a revision Of the pending bill
providing operation, by public
authority.

The Revolution Had
Its Unknown Too
BY JACK JONAS

Some people have suggested
there ought to be more than
one Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier-say one for World
War II and one for the Korean
War.
They seem to be overlooking
the tombs of unknown soldiers
OF the Revolutionary War and
the War of 1872.
That for the Unknown
Soldier of the War of 1912 is
in Avon Springs, N. Y, but
the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier of the Revolution is
close at hand.

Psychiatrists at st. Elizabeths
have been using both but tend to
prefer chlorpromazine because it
produces swifter results.
At first, in the hot summer of
1854. a skeptical staff of psychi-
artists began using the drugs
without enthusiasm. Just two
more Sedatives was their atti-
tude.
But. suddenly. the realization
swept the hospital staff that here
were two new types Of chemical
agents. While temporary side
effects included mild drowsineSs
these lasted only a week or 10
days. The drugs Gained the pa

doses to large doses and taken

Drugs Are Too New
( Short periods Of time may be
all that is necessary to calm pa
itients who have recently de-
veloped a disorder. Chronic pa
tients may have to be given large
doses for year or longer. Some
times small doses are prescribed
continually, and the patient may
be sent home to work and live
normally.
1t is impossible, in these in
stances, to tell whether continual
drug treatment will be a life
time proposition. The drugs are
too new.
( These drugs may never be
used for persons in depressed
states or with a history of past
depressions. This has been known
to lead to suicide particularly

There may be occasional side
effects such as jaundice, leuko-
penia or other ills. Sometimes
the drug treatment must be re-
duced and sometimes it is halted.
