able of the exalted passions.
Given these types and per-
formers capable of tearing
their ways to the very human
hearts of the remote and
mighty, Mr.. Guthrie is pre-
pared to prove that the best
is everyman's theater.
This Mary Stuart" is as
visually lean as it is emo
tionally rich and passionate in
its drive to the dramatic point
that, for all their exalted sta
ton, these queens were women
in a duel to the death.
Politics has played pure hell
with their lives when the play
opens with the exquisite. regal.
amorously reckless, Catholic
Mary a prisoner at the mercy
of her Tudor cousin. Politic-
ians enjoy the game, especially
at this climactic point when
they are pressuring Elizabeth
to sign the death warrant that

has convicted her dangerous.

Unfortunately, for the SIM
plicity of the process, politi-
cally speaking, Mary and Eliza
beth are women. They have
never met and neither can es-
cape the goading feminine
curiosity as to what a face to
face encounter would be like.
What it is like, briefly, is
the supreme drama of an en-
counter between a beautiful,
regally assured but outwardly
helpless woman and one who
is plain, distrustful of her posi-
ton. and sick with the memory
that she was once the victim of
the tremendous power she now
wields.

Judges Reject

tee to increase collateral or
speeding violations.

jr., in a letter to 1t. Col. Jess

said the court feels traffic en-
forcement authorities have not
used available remedies al
ready provided by the court for
aggravated cases.
Judge Smith pointed out that

Up on a warrant in cases where
forfeiture of collateral is not
considered an adequate penalty
in view of the facts involved or
OF the traffic record of. the
violator.
The Traffic Co-ordinating
Committe, which includes rep
resentatives of the police de-
partment, courts and traffic
agencies here. asked the judges
on April 20 to more than double
the collateral as a means of
cracking down on speeders to
cut down the number of traffic

BUDGET

Continued From First Page
tax raises originally proposed
by the Commissioners, would
bring in about $4.5 million an
nually. The sales tax rise
would mean a revenue in
crease of $6.3 million in the
forthcoming fiscal year and
then SO million annually.
The sales tax bill, introduced
by Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee
originally was strongly opposed
by the Commissioners, along
with representatives of major
business groups. The Com
missionerS and other witnesses
at last weeks House District
Committee hearing urged that
the Districts legislative tax in
crease package be enacted in
stead.
But, with the House approv-
ing Mr.. McMillan's bill without
debate, the Commissioners yes
terday withdrew their opposi-
ton.
In effect, the Commissioners
said that since it appears that
Congress will vote a sales tax
increase or nothing, the Dis
trict is forced to support the
bill because of its expected rev.
enue needs.
At the same time, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin said the city still feels
that its original tax program
six tax increases requiring con-
gresSional approval plus the
proposed real estate tax rise
is preferable. The Commission
ers have not changed their view
that the sales tax increase is
"regressive" and may we'll hurt
city businesses because Virginia
has no sales tax.
Witnesses opposing the bill
by Mr.. Mcmillan were headed
by Senator Morse, Democrat
OF Oregon, who is against all
sales taxes. Others opposing
the bill included representa-
tives Of the Greater Washing
ton General Labor Council and
the District League of Women
Voters.
Support for the sales tax in
crease came from representa-
tives of the Washington Board
of Trade and the Merchant
and Manufacturers Association.
Both groups had opposed the
bill at the House District Com
mittee hearing.
No action on the bill is ex-
pected until Congress returns.

Natures Magic .Ch|orophy|I
Is Produced SyntheticoIIy

NEW YORK, July 2 (AP).-
r Chlorophyn - natures green
wonder chemical has been
synthetically produced for the
first time, it was reported yes
terday by both United States
and German scientists.
Harvard University said DR..
Robert B. Woodward had pro-
duced the worlds first syn
thetic chlorophyll last January.
His findings will be published
July 20 in the Journal of the
American Chemical Society.
The German work, q Harvard
spokesman said, was published
March Z in a German scien-
tific journal. The German
scientists are Prof. Mar
Strell and DR.. Anton Kalo-
janoff, both of Munich Insti-
tute Of Technology.
Much More to Learn
The German scientists said
the production of chlorophyll
means that man may be able
to mobilize abundant simple
chemical elements to produce
more food and thus support
a rapidly expanding ropula-
ton.
However, American scientists
say there still is much more to
learn about photoSynthesis, the
process by which plants, using
the suns energy, convert car
bon dioxide into food before
giving of oxygen.
Chlorophyll in nature makes
food from sunshine, water, and
carbon dioxide.
The reconstruction Of the
complex chain Of atoms that
is chlorophyll has been one Of
the most difficult tasks Of mod
ern chemistry.
Different Methods Used
DR.. Woodward and the Ger
man scientific team apparently
took somewhat different tacks
toward the same goal.
!. The Germans were said to
break down natural chlorophyll
and Systematically rebuild the
synthetic chlorophyll on the old
foundations and debris.
They closely followed the
work Of the late Nobel prize
winner, DR.. Hans Fischer, also
of the Munich Institute.
DR.. Woodward repeatedly be-
gan with totally different raw
materials. He developed certain
as yet undisclosed but pur-
.2ortedly revolutionary labora-
tory techniques.
. In January he realized he
had completed synthesis of the
natural chlorophyll molecule-
Hout this natural product was
mixed with other molecules
which were mirror images of
the natural chlorophyll.
He then set about isolatine
the true chlorofpyll from the
similar. but opposing mirror
like molecules.
German Results Uncertain
tits not yet known just when
the Germans synthesized their
chlorophyll molecules, or what
the purity of their results were.
The German federation in
its chemistry report" said
yesterday:
In the chalk mountains of
the world are captured tre-
t1endous quantities of carbon
dioxide, which could be re-
leased with the help of sun
light or atomic energy and
turned into carbohydrates, fat
and vitamins with the help Of
photosynthesis."
Both discoveries were said to
have produced chlorophyll "a"
the blue green type. It is
three times more dominant in
nature than type B-the yellow
green type.

offices.
Senator Fong, Republican of
Hawaii, the first Senator with
Chinese ancestors, persuaded
the Senate last night to amend
a refugee bill to permit 4,500
refugees from the Near East
and Far East to enter this
country. The main provision OF
the bill was designed to fix this
country's share of the immi-
grants from European refugee
camps in the world refugee
program.
But a move could still be
made today to reconsider the
Fong amendment.
Senator MCGEE, Democrat OF
Wyoming, who was presiding

gee bill with the Fong amend
ment had passed by a voice
vote and stuck to his decision
in face of protests from Demo-
cratic Leader johnson and Re-
publican Leader Dirksen.
Highway Bill Action
Other actions yesterday in
cluded:
House and Senate conferees
dropped two controversial Sem
ate amendments from the bill
authorizing 1925 million each
year for 1862 and 1868 for the
primary, secondary and urban
highway systems. The Senate
had sought to increase the
amount.
The Senate sent to the Pres
ident the $1.4 billion authori-
zation for future construction
Of water projects. The follow
up appropriation bill was left
for the August session.
Both houses completed action
on a bill increasing the COM
pensation Of veterans with Sc
rious service-connected disabil-
ity, and another bill to let In
dian and Spanish-American
war veterans who are helpless
or blind draw pensions at the
rate available to World. War II
veterans.
The Senate passed and sent
back to the House a bill to let
the Postmaster General cut on
mail to persons offering "filth
and smut" for sale. The au-
thority would be supervised by
Federal courts.
The Senate passed a bill in
creasing by $75 million the
Small Business Administra-
tion's revolving fund for loans.
The bills Congress is post
poning until August are nearly
all important political issues
for the coming campaign.
Leaders hope to wind up the
post-convention session by
Labor Day, but many observers
are skeptical because of the
political oratory that will be
generated by such subjects as
medical care for the aged,
minimum wages and foreign
aid.
When Congress returns the
ink will scarcely be dry on the
new political platforms of both
parties. and everything that is
done will be compared with the
promises made in those plat
forms.
