MED they ever had displayed
10 set Of the generals teeth.
And they're right, agreed DR..
Myron S. Aisenberg, dean Of
the University OF Maryland
Dental School, which has one
set Of the generals dentures.
Only four sets are known to
have been associated with
Washington. DR.. Aisenberg
said. And none was made of
wood. What's more, he never
has heard Of wooden false
teeth being made in this coun-
try.
But 1t could have been, he
limited. that the general picked
his painful dentures in port
when they weren't in his mouth.
DR.. Aisenperg said John
Greenwood. the New York dem
fist who made the set Of WASH
ington's teeth nov at the dem
tai schools museum, wrote
Washington chat the dentures
had become stained "either BY
your soaking u EN- in port wine
or your bringing it,"
The Mount Vernon ladies
admit they nave one set which
they keep tucked away. 1t was
sold to their association by
the heirs of Mrs. Charlotte r.
Mustard in i949. Dental his
torians believe this set, cumber-
some even for that day, was
made by the Maryland painter
dentist, Charles Wilson Peale,
for Washington to wear while

House Unit
Kills Bill on
Loan Rates
syas.ar s.sit writer


ANNAPOLIS. April 1.-The
House Ways and Means Com
mittee yesterday killed q bill
that would have provided for
sharp increases In interest rates
on loans above $500.
The committee. by an over
whelming voice vote. approved
an unfavorable report on the
bill and then voted to send the
measure to the Legislative
Council for study.
The action came q day after
Gov. Tawes publicly announced
that, although the measure was
not an administrative bill. he
would like to see 1t passed. II
was the ilrst real defeat which
q bill with such gubernatorial
sanction has suffered in this
session.
The bill would have resulted
IN increasing the true interest
rate on loans in the $500 To
$1,000 range by about so per
cent.
Leading the fight against the
measure was Delegate John j.
Nowakowski, Democrat of Bal
titnore City.
The tight for the measure
was lead by key members of
the Tawes team including Del
eeate Jerome Robinson, vice
chairman of the committee.
Mr.. Robinson argued that,
because the Legislature had
passed another Tawes-support-
ed measure to double the COM
mission fees Of executors of
estates over $780, 900. it should
increase the interest rates on
loans.

JACKSON, Miss, Septem-

expansion program is quite
visible at the j. P. Campbell
College. A dormitory for wo-
men students, ultra-modern in
every respect, is nearing COM
pletion. Also on the campus
are new facilities in the high
school area for science, math-
ematics, and languages, pro
vided through a government
loan. With the expansion in
this area, the high school de-
partment has better provisions
for the general preparation of
students, and will enable stu
dent to concentrate more fully
in the science, mathematics,
and language area in their
strive toward accomplishments
on the college level.
Another new dormitory will
be constructed as well as a
classroom building for college
classes. On the Junior Col
lege level, Campbell College
plans to extend its services as
it brings into focus its terminal
course program in the area of
cosmet0logy and business.
A student loan program is
now in effec, and is available
