Their work of the past is open.
It's being published all OF the

There are no secrets in medi-
cal research" he declared.
Mr. Crisp recalls that he
helped build a small persistatic
action pump.
The American Instrument Co.
in Silver Spring seized on the
idea and began manufacturing
them. This little pump which.
in part, bears the Crisp name.
was designed to pump liquid
without the liquid coming into
contact with anv metal in the
Ipump-thus keeping the liquid
sterile.
Metal Tubes Rotate
It consists of a flexible tube
against which a series of metal
tubes rotate. forcing the fluid
through the tube.
1t was originated after Mr..
Crisp decided there was room in
research for such an instru-
ment. He devised 1t and asked
a researcher to test it. OF
course, he never got his sue
cessful pump back. Later pri-

Check Indicates
Heavy Majority,
Fuvors Measure
az ! Star Stan corre,pondent

RICHMOND, Feb. g. The
Moncure Bill to repeal Arling-
tons elected School Board law
today was branded ian outrage
and a perverse act of retaliation
against a community that
fought so vigorously and sue
cessfully to bring their schools
back to the people"
This statement was included
among thousands of letters
which have been received by
legislators since Delegate Frank
p. Moncure, of Stafford. dropped
his bill in the hopper one week
ago.
A random check with law
makers from all over the State
Indicates that proponents Of the
bill--that is those favoring re-
peal of the school board law
far outnumber those in favor Of
the elected system.
Smyth County Protest
The statement branding Mr..
Moncure's action an outrage was
included in letter from the
|Smyth County Citizens Com
Imittee for Better Schools ut
Marion, in far southwest Viz
ginia. more than $50 miles from
Arlington. The letter. sent TO
all members of the legislature.
went on to say:
"Perverse human ingenuity
could hardly have proposed "a
more pernicious legislative bill for
destroying an elected and child
conscious school board which. in
"a short span of time. and with
the support of their local citizens.
has constructed many new
schools and established one Of
the most progressive school adj
in our State"
Mr.. Moncure estimated he had
about 100 unopened letters from
Arlington this morning. Over the
week end recess he opened sew
Ieral hundred letters and found
the writer's about 20-to-l in favor
Iof his measure. he said.
BOatwright Reports
Delegate John Boatwright, Of
Buckingham. who also has spon-
sored legislation hitting at Ar
Ilington. said he had not kept
count but that those favoring
the Moncure bill "far outnumber"
the opponents.
Senator Stuart B. Carter of
Fincastle, near Roanoke, is an
other Southwest Virginian who
reported heaps of mail from Arl-
ington.
MY wastebasket is filled with
them" he said. II think it tthe
Moncure Bib is an underground
attack"
Other members of the House
and Senate, questioned at ran
dom. indicated that their mail
shows that those in Arlington
who favor the Moncure Bill are
making a better organized drive
to reach all members of the Leg
Iislature than are county citizens
who are backing the school
board.
Opposition Has Jelled
Meanwhile, Arlington Delegate
William L. Winston said, In
the time since the Moncule bill
was introduced a good amount
Iof opposition has jelled.
AT least we in the Arlington
delegation know that we are not
alone in our opposition to the
bill. I have talked with a num-
Der of the patrons of the bill,
some Of whom seem to have
weakened; others. l am sorry to
say. are firm in their determine
tion to proceed with their bill.
THE most helpful boosts we
have received are the newspaper
editorials decrying the retalia-
tory nature of the measure "

If not, he confers with Lau-
renee Crisp, chief of the instru-
lment section, or one Of his
assistants.

This may include anything

lail that's needed.
/ "You Name II"
In fact, Mr.. Crisp says. "You
name it and we'll build it."
And. he adds, they built only
one gadget to meet the special
problem. I'VE resist building
more than one. We've too much
to do" he adds.
II there is a demand for more
than the original, private enter
prise generally hears about 1t
and is likely to build it. When
| a special research device is con-
structed at the institutes. it is
published in one or more PERIOD
Gals. Commercial industry may
use 1t.
No one can get a patent on it.
The publishing of it insures
this. That's the way the in
strument section protects the
taxpayers dollars.
The section gets an average
Iof 800 orders per month from
researchers at the institutes
only 4 per cent of which is for
repair work to existing equip
ment. This means some 307
orders are for new gadgets-not
for Implications.
They don't like to do much
repair work. Our time is far
more valuable when spent in
Idevising new research equipment
than 1t is IN repairing what the
institutes have purchased" Mr..
Crisp feels.
Heart Pump In Works
What are they inventing now?
Well. there's a human heart
pump in the works. This will
mean that the heart may be
isolated from blood temporarily
and that an artificial heart will
maintain the continuous flow OF
blood throughout the body.
1t has been developed already
for animals and has been used
ON humans but only with some
success. Mr.. Crisp's men want
to make it perfect. This will be
for the Heart Institute.
Then there's a human stereo-
taxic instrument on the drawing
boards. This would automatically
locate the exact point of a tu-
NOR in the human brain by
X-rays.
1t would abolish guess work
and exploratory operations in this
field. 1t may consist of a squared
framework to help give the exact
location of the tumor on all
three planes. This will be for
the Neurological Institute.
The instrument section has
already developed apparatus
used In major brain operations
to hold the patients head in
position.
Patient Would Be Wired
Another project is a device
for remote recording of cortical
electrical activity from epileptic
patients.
This will consist Of wiring the
patient so that when he has a
seizure the electrical activity
will be recorded. Similar de-
vices have already been used on
animals.
This particular project-which
is expected to make medical his
tory when thoroughly tested and
used successfully-would mean
electrodes inserted into parts Of
the brain. A receiver and trans
mitter would be sewn beneath

1t all comes out of a troubled

He later moved to the 1900
block of G street NV. and then,
in 1929, to the present location
at 1924 F street NV. A Silver
Spring branch was opened in
1949. The new store at Seven
Corners is the third.
Two of Mr.. Harris sons are
officers of the firm. A separate
corporation directs each store.
j. Robert Harris, jr.. 38. is presi-
dent of the Virginia corporation
and general manager of all three
companies.
Donald B Harris, 90, is secre-
tary-treasurer of the three COM
panies. Mr.. Harris, ST., is vice
president of the Virginia store.
The store manager is Mrs. Helen
Waldron.
Specializing in the same lines
as the other two stores. the new
store carries womens, girls and
pre-teen clothes, sportswear anG
accessories. With about 5000
feet of floor space, it is one-third
larger than the Silver Spring
store and more than half the
Isize of the downtown store.
Mayor Cuts Ribbon
The new unit, decorated in
Colonial design with sea-mist
green walls and carpeting, was
opened at a noon ceremony, in
which Mayor Herman L. Fink
Iof neighboring Falls Church cut
the ribbon.
Mr.. Harris, ST., had two things
on his mind yesterday. One was
the new store, which he said he
hoped will maintain public
faith in us, the same kind of
faith people have in their bank"
The other thing on his mind, he
said. was the expected arrival,
