There are indications fur

nicotine effect on other blood
vessels such as the coronary
arteries is just the opposite.
It results in q slight dilation
rather than construction. The
pharmacology Of nicotine is
complex and opposite effects
may be produced by its ac-
ton at various sites. The
overall effect is a geometic
mean OF many actions and
reactions"
An example of the confu-
sion is shown. for example.
by the report from one Of
the projects partly financed
through the tobacco indus
try-a study Of blood vessel
construction effects carried
on at Massachusetts, General
Hospital by Drs. j. Edwin
Wood and Robert w. wilkins.
Three Exceptions

they reported. that inhaling
tobacco smoke causes vaso-
construction in the foot.
These experiments were de-
signed to compare the vaso-
constructor response TO smok-
ing with that produced by a
cool environment and TO de-
termine whether or not a
period Of abstinence from to-
bacco produces a more pro-
found vasoconstrictor re-
Spouse to smoking.
"A decrease in average
foot blood flow occurred on
smoking under all conditions
Of the study except in three
OF 81 experiments. In the
three exceptions where no
change in blood flow oc-
Cured smoking was asso-
ciated with increases in pres
sure and pulse rate. The
range Of response in warm
and cool rooms was remark
ably similar. The range Of
responses before and after
"a or 48 hours Of abstinence
also was very similar.
Under the conditions Of
this study smoking was a
less intense demonstrating
stimulus than cooling the
environment from SO to So
degrees Fahrenheit"
Habitual chewing of to-
bacco among older men pro-
duceS a measurable increase
in pulse rate and blood pres

temperature, according to
another report from a re-

The National Park Service was
asked more than a year ago to agree
to this four-lane consolidation Of the
George Washington Memorial parkway
and Route 240 between the District line
and Cabin John. The Park Service
refused. In the hope of avoiding another
frustrating argument, highway officials
turned elsewhere. Since then, however,
park officials have made it clear they
intend to fight other new routes pro-
posed. both the Wisconsin avenue cor
ridor and the river route within the
District. Parklands are involved in both
instances. In view of this intransigence,
and for the following seven reasons, the
Commissioners and Maryland road on
Gals should give strong consideration
to return of the original plan.
ID This route along the river to
Cabin John would adequately meet traf-
nc needs. 1t would provide a logical
interstate connection with Route 240. It
would serve commuters in the Bethesda
area with a continuous freeway net
work. As we have been told many times
IN the past by planners. the essential
concerns of motorists are driving time
and driving comfort, and this route
meets both criteria. At the same time,
this freeway would be supplemented by
widening River road, improvement and
removal of streetcar tracks on Wisconsin
avenue, and perhaps the construction of
four-lane parkway in Glover Archbold
park to connect Massachusetts, avenue
to- the river route, If that can be done
without violating the terms under which
the land was donated for park purposes.
(2) This river route would speed
construction Of the Route 240 west leg,
and of the Cabin John bridge across the
Potomac. This bridge is an essential
link in the interstate circumferential
freeway around Washington which will
serve-just as Baltimore's new harbor
tunnel and loop freeway serve-to keep
through traffic out of the central city.
(3) This route involves a minimum
destruction Of private property. 1t avoids
completely the uncomfortable destruc-
ton and blight in the so-called wis
consin avenue corridor"
az There is reason to believe that
this route would be welcomed by Mary
land officials, who supported it strongly
year ago.
(5) II would meet an incontestable
need for some type of interstate freeway
along the Potomac near Key Bridge. to
handle interstate trafflc from Virginia.
(6) Ariver route is by far the cheap
est. Proponents of the Wisconsin ave-
nue. corridor have argued that the city
should not worry about costs. The Fed
eral Government, they say, will pay 80
per cent Of the bill. In these glib argu-
ments, however, there are tremendous
dangers. The city already is short Of
money to match Federal-aid funds for
It's highway program within the next
several years. To pay for such critical
projects as the inner loop system, which
must be built TO relieve downtown con-

Trust the KremIin?
Robert w. Bogen.

The clamor is growing
here and abroad to negotiate
with the Soviets on disarma-
ment. This country is being
criticized for maintaining a
fixed position and refusing to
give a little more on the
terms Of an agreement so
that a real peace will finally
emerge. But this is mislead-
ing. II isn't a question of the
terms Of an agreement but
a question Of trusting the
Soviets to carry out any
agreement no matter what
the terms are. inasmuch as
they will not allow for any
procedure to assure compli-
ance. such as inspection. II
isn't a question of giving a
little more. but Of giving
anything at all.
Where there is mutual
trust. a little unbending is
not difficult in order to ar
rive at an agreement. But
when one side has a history
Of callous. II not treacherous,
disregard for its agreements.
then IL is a delusion to make
concessions because it simply
means giving something for
nothing. In the present con-
text it means giving up Sc
curity. that is. reducing our
armed strength for Soviet
promises to do the same.
Our over-anxious friends
say that We should give UP
just a little Of our security
Just trust the Soviets a little
bit. These we'll e aiming

because they might exert

eminent to take a disastrous
