Signatures Important
The biggest problems are
foreseen in large estates. espe-
cially where wives have real
estate holdings of their own
and in some cases have sep
arated from their husbands. In
these cases, the husbands sig
natures which previously have
not been required. will become
extremely important. Settle
ments may become necessary.
Under the new law, a sur
viving spouse may renounce an
unfavorable will and demand a
"distributive" share from the

death. This amounts to one

and one-half otherwise.

The council proposed that

proposal, the insured motorist
would bear no direct part Of
the cost of the system.
Judgments Not Affected

Rents Revised
BY Alexandra.
Increased in Four
Of City's Projects

About half the families In
Alexandria's low-rent housing
projects will begin paying
higher rents January to
meet increased maintenance
and utility costs.
A new rent schedule was an
nounced yesterday by v. Ward
Boswell. chairman Of the
Alexandria Redevelopment and
Housing Authority.
Mr.. Boswell said the rent will
increase the income of the nom
profit authority about 6 to 8
per cent.
Rents in six Of the city's
seven housing projects will be
affected. About 900 families
live in these projects. Chinqua-
pin Village project. which is on
a fixed rental schedule, will not
be changed.
Rents are based on a fixed
charge with adjustments for
income and size of family. Mr..
Boswell said the new schedule
will result in about half the
families paying more rent while
the others will remain the same
or in some cases be reduced.
The present base rent for all
units is $40 which increases as
the family income rises. The
new schedule sets the base rent
at SIT for a one-bedroom
apartment, $40 for two bed
rooms. 50 2for three and $24
for four.
Mr.. Boswell gave the follow
ing comparison Of average rent
paid now with the average to
be paid after January l.:
John Roberts Homes-Now
$24.16, after January /, $26.02;
George Parker-$29.38 and

Refusal to be tested would

Schultz said.
This drug could spot addicts
who had not touched narcotics
for several days, he declared.
Present tests may not detect
addicts who had a dose or shot

Needle marks. only proof

tests, disappear within an hour.
DR.. Schultz said.
These tests would meet q
new problem in addiction-de-
lection here, DR.. Schultz said.
Many addicts here are taking
drugs which have been di-
luted to the point where they
are inert, although the drug
users don't know it, he said.
"These people are addicts psy-
chologically if not physically
and need treatment" he OBJ
served.
The new tests would spot
addiction among many people
who have been released re-
luctantly by the examining ply
sicians who knew the persons
examined actually were chronic
narcotics users, he explained.
Although withdrawal symptoms
may not be evident, these per-
sons are addicts in both social
and medical senses, he said.
DR.. Schultz said there has
been a falling of in the num-
Der of addicts brought to the
hospital recently and that this
may be attributed to the new
law.

however, to say what the trend

Judgment fund will not only give
protection against the Virginia
resident motorist who causes
damage for which he does not
pay" said the council, but "it
will in addition protect against
two classes of negligent and ir-
responsible motorists who would
not be reached under a COM
pulsory insurance plan.'
In the report the VALC said
an estimated 4 per cent of the
accidents on Virginia highways
involve out-of State motorists
who do not carry liability in
Surance.
Under the proposed bill, some
administrative costs of the
plan may be reflected in insur-
ahce rates but the VALC SAID
the main charge will be placed
where it belongs-on the per-
son who buys a license for 9
motor vehicle without having
liability insurance on it"
This cost. the report added
still would be less to that mo-
torist than would be the cost
of liability insurance although
he would not get the same pro-
lection. The council said it be.

Schultz Staff the go-ahead
after having had the matter
under advisement since last
spring. he noted.
One Of the tests brings out
withdrawal symptoms, proving
addiction, which could not be
detected with previous methods.
The other new procedure can
spot whether an addict took
narcotics within the past six
hours by testing body fluids.
81 Committed
Under the disqualification
law, addicts not charged with
criminal offenses can be or
dered hospitalized by the Dis
trict Commissioners. A total
Iof 81 persons have been sent
to the United States Public
Health Service Hospital at
Lexington, KY, since October,
1856, whe nthe law went into
effect.
The number hospitalized
should increase with use Of the
new tests, although they may
be used only with the subjects
lconsent, DR.. Schultz said.
Many addicts could not be
lproven so by physicians with
lprevious tests because the de-
lgree of addiction is too small
to detect. In other cases. DR.
Schultz said, the addicts took
their last dose of narcotics toe
long before the examination
for addiction to be detected.
| DR.. Schultz has noted that
about 200 addicts here need
treatment each year.
Tests Seen Reliable

The
Rambler
:. Samples
Christmas Cords
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Twenty-one shopping days
to Christmas!
With this in mind, the
Rambler started out to buy
some Christmas cards.
He went to two bookstores
and a department store and
saw many pretty cards, all
inexpensive.
But he noticed something
surprising, in view of the
many reports of increased
church attendance: There
were very few religious cards.
A young woman who has
been working at a Christmas
card counter for several sea-
sons said there seemed to
be fewer this year.
The Rambler doesn't send
religious cards to everyone.
But there are on his list per-
sons to whom Christmas is
the holy day of holy days,
and he would like to send
them something in the spirit
of the season.
There were a number of
cards that connoted the re-
ligiouS nature of the feast,
such as snow scenes DOM
mated by New England
church steeples.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-11-29

HE DID FIND A BOX con-
tanning sets of four religious
cards by a contemporary
artist named Anatole de
Marco: a Holy Family, a
Madonna, an Alteration of
the Angels, and an Alteration
of the Magi. Also a Madonna
by Fra Lippo Lippi and a
beautiful card entitled "St.
Gerardo Begging Aims From
a Traveller" from the decora-
ton Of a Florentine manu-
script of about 1920.
He found none of the Cur
rier g. Ives scenes of sleigh
ing and winter on the farm
nor any of the Grandma
Moses "primitives."
Instead he came upon a
number of very sentimental
Christmas greetings ito my
wife" Ito my husband,
daughter, SON."
Many of the best cards
were imports, some obviously
designed for the American
market. One with the Christ
mas greeting in Italian was
decorated with the Little
Town of Bethlehem" pictured
on the Palestine plain, and
with the music and opening
lines of Bishop Phillips
Brooks hymn in English.
In some the greeting was
In Spanish; many were in
French. The most fascinat-
ing and best drawn one was
of a slender, erect gentleman
of discriminating attitude
