come when one is able to manip-
ulate the critical elements" he
d declared. "Biologically, this
would mean to manipulate the

cal agents which would cause
definite and practicable

DR.. Jonathan o. Cole, who
heads the Psychopharmacology

the money used primarily to
support studies aimed at finding
out the effects of some of these
drugs on the central nervous
system as well as to maintain a
central and advisory center in
the field. He declared that large
scale clinical trials of these
drugs by researchers may not
be possible until more such basic
work is completed.
The conference was to con-

Bids to Be Received
On Section of Pike

Bids will be received on a new
three-mile section of the Wash
ington National Pike south of
Rockville on October 9, signalling
the end of controversy over this
segment of the superhighway.
The State Roads Commission
will receive the bids for the Sec
ton of dual roadway from Falls
Road in Rockville to Tuckerman
lane, south of the city. An inter
change will be provided at Mont
rose road. and Monroe street.
just south of the city, will be
closed.
1t was the proposed closing of
Monroe street which snagged de-
velopment plans for nearly a
year.
Rockville officials opposed the
road closing as a threat to ex-
pansion of the city. The dispute
delayed progress on the super
highway for several months.
State Roads Commission
Chairman Robert o. Bonnell re-
solved the dispute by agreeing
to undertake construction of an
overpass at Monroe street if and
when population and traffic den
stiles justify it. The compromise
was accepted.
The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil has appropriated $4,000 for
planning an additional access
route to Rockville from Mont
rose road near its proposed in
terchange with the pike.
The three-mile section of high
way will get under construction
as soon as the contract is
awarded, the Roads Commission

MARYLAND-Vl VIRGINIA NEWS
BroyhiII to Test Maryland
Nonresident Tax Law

Representative Broyhill, Re.
publican of Virginia, said today
he has taken the first steps to.
ward the filing of a court suit
challenging the Maryland non-
resident income tax law.
Many Of Mr.. Broyhill's 10th
district constituents work ir
Maryland and are therefore SUBJ
jected to having the 2 per cent
Maryland income tax withheld
from their paychecks. The tax
withheld is refunded to Virgin
ians who file applications for il
each year.
Mr.. Broyhill has commended
that another section of the
Maryland income tax law pro-
vides that 6 per cent interest
should be paid on the refunds.
This contention has been re-
jected by Gov. McKeldin of
Maryland and State Controller j.
Willard Tawes.
The Virginia Congressman has
retained two attorneys and says
he plans TO test the Maryland
law in the courts. first as to the
States right to withhold taxes
from non-residents and then on
the interest provision.
AS the first step in this chal-
lenge, Mr.. Broyhill said he had
to make formal request for in
terest payments to Mr.. Tawes on
behalf of five of his constituents
who work for the Army Map
Service at Suitland.
AS was expected, he said, this
request was refused yesterday by
the Controller.
Now an appeal will be made to
the State Tax Commission, which
has the power to overrule or up
hold the Controller.
IF this commission Sustains
the Controller. then the next step
is the court" Mr.. Broyhill said.

BY CHARLES G. BROOKS

Nearly 700 psychiatrists and
representatives Of the Nations
drug manufacturers met today
to begin evaluating the new
tranquilizing drugs which in the
past three years. have swept the
country.
The widespread use of the
new drugs has alarmed medical
scientists who readily admit they
have little idea of the, actual eff
fects of the so-called peace
pills on the central nervous sys-
TEN. It was this alarm that
led to the first conference on
the problem sponsored by the
American Psychiatric Associa-
ton, the National Institute of
Mental Health and the National
Research Council of the National
Academy Of Sciences.
The scientists are reporting to-
day and tomorrow on the results
of closed conferences held
throughout the week at the
Hotel Statler.
Use Accelerated
DR.. j. S. Gottliev, Wayne Uni
versity professor of psychiatry
and senior representative of the
American Psychiatric Associa-
ton, warned that "the use of
these drugs has so quickly ac-
celebrated that three out of every
10 prescriptions" given by physi-
clans are the tranquilizers. He
declared that medical research
must effectively test these drugs.
This is a matter of urgency
and is most pressing for the pro-
lection of the public" DR.. Gott-
liev declared. He added that he
hopes the conference this week
will have recommendations to set
UP cooperative methods for
evalating the tranquilizers as
well as finding out what actual
effects they have on the central
nervous system.
Basically. the tranquilizing
drugs, which have been loudly
acclaimed as opening an entirely
new field in psychiatry, are
known as chlorpromazine, reser-
pine, promazihe, meprobamate
and derivatives.
These products, and some of
the milder tranquilizers which
are most often used by gen.
eral practitioners, have the
effect of calming and relaxing
without causing sleep.
Bad Results Feared
Researchers, however, fear
that their indiscriminate use
may be dangerous. Some feel
that continued use of them could
permanently affect the central
nervous system or even the mind.
Use of the tranquilizing drugs,
however, have caused veritable
revolutions in mental institu-
tons where the highly excited
and violent patient is becoming
almost thing Of the past.
DR.. r w. Gerard, who is con-
ference chairman, declared that
medical science has not yet found
the correct elements in the mem

Questions Raised
Chairman Butler said Senator
Butler was quoted as saying that
if he and Mr.. Eisenhower are re-
elected, Maryland could expect
many, many more millions in
Federal funds"
This raises questions" the
Democratic official said, which
Mr.. Eisenhower should answer
promptly;
Cd HAS Maryland been
given $40 million in Federal con-
tracts because of the influence
of Senator Butler?
90 Twill Maryland be de-
prived of Federal contracts if
Senator Butler is defeated?
90 Does the Eisenhower adj
ministration plan to funnel Fed
eral funds into Maryland if Sen
ator Butler is reelected?
"a is it the policy of the Eli
senhower Nixon administration
to funnel Federal contracts into
States with Republican Senators
at the expense Of States with
Democratic Senators?
Let me emphasize that the
subject / am discussing was not
brought up by me. 1t was
brought up by Senator Butler.

avow Senator Buffers boast or
to admit that political favoritism

|TuthiII Stresses
Riff on Status Of
School Board

Arlington's liberal-conservative
rift over the status of its school
board was shaping up today as
a major issue in the current
county board race.
This was made clear after Cur
tbs E. Tuthill's formal kickoff
of his campaign last night under
the Arlingtonians for a Better
County banner.
His opponent is DR.. L. H. Blew
ms, a nominee Of the more con-
sentative Arlington Independent
Movement.
Hammers at Leaders
In both a speech and platform
announcement, Mr.. Tuthill ham,
mered away at the support by
AIM leaders of the Moncure bill
dealing with the local school
board.
The Virginia General Assem-
bly, last February passed this
bill, introduced by Delegate
Frank P. Moncure of Stafford,
which changed the Arlington
School Boards status from elec-
tive to appointive.
Last night Mr.. Tuthill told
supporters at the Arlington
Unitarian Church that AIM had
backed this bill because of its
! failure to win a seat on the
school board in two consecutive
elections.
Mr.. Tuthill. who promised to
back up his Charges" during
the campaign. went on to say
that "AIM leaders have not one
but two platforms"
'Honeyed Words"
For local elections. he said, the
opposition platform is made UP
of honeyed words. :" But

pressed only in Stafford County

and for the very principle OF

The major plank announced
by Mr.. Tuthill is to stop the
trend toward disenfranchising
the citizens of Arlington"
Under this he promises to
try and restore the elected
school board. oppose the free
holders referendum and work
to give Federal employees the
right to hold local Office. Others
