Can you really predict a
heart attack?
Can you tell when the victim
of one coronary may safely be
sent back to flying a plane
while another man who never
had one should be grounded?
If medical science knew these
things, a great step toward
understanding the complicated
aging processes would be made.
These are among the hun
dreds of vital questions being
studied in a 25-year project
which started only three
months ago. 1t is headed by

GEM. Fights
Law Prohibiting
Liquor Sales

Officials of the GEM. stores
have gone to court in an at
tempt to nullify recent legisla-
ton which would put their
store in West Hyattsville out
of the liquor business.
The legislation prohibits any
establishment having a re-
stricted clientele from holding
a license to sell liquor by the
bottle. The legislation, which
affects only the GEM. store,
was requested by the county
Packaged Dealers Association,
whose members complained the
store sells at cut-rate prices. It
was enacted at the last Mary

and was signed by Gov. Tawes.

The most pampered infant
in town is little Lulu.
Being Just 2 weeks old, Lulu
has no teeth but she does have
a voraciouS appetite and a
healthy squall when food is not
forthcoming.
Lulu is a black-faced CHM
panzee, born in the Washing
ton Zoo to Maggie and Jiggs.
Maggie's inability to feed her
offspring has brought Lulu a
set of foster parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Bernard Gallagher of

Mr.. Gallagher is the keeper

Mrs. Gallagher, the former

years and she met her hus-
band, before their marriage 13

havior releases from Federal
prisons.
In addition, some ITS pris-
onerS are released yearly

who were not granted either

but who served their full terms
They are classified as "fina

Others Released
Donald Clemmer, director o.
the District Department o.
Corrections, said that beside!

each year about $50 prisoners

This latter group of released

The problem has recentl!
been recognized by a specia

SCIENCE SEEKS ANSWER
Aging Pattern Study
Is Launched by FAA

| Much work has been done in
the comparison Of teen-agers
with the very elderly. Now, for
the first time, emphasis Is be-
ing placed on the comparison
of the young with the middle
aged.
The new laboratory wants to
find out when and how the ag-
ing processes begin to occur. 1t
wants to be able to give a COM
plete examination to a man and
predict the remainder Of his
useful flying life.
It may be, say the research
erS, who are studying people
from 18 to as old as they can
find them, that a man with the
chronological age of 80 can still
fly safely.
Or it may be that a man As
years old actually has a physio-
logical age of IS.
There are six basic laborator-
les at the new center, each de-
signed to study an area of the
aging process. These include
biochemistry, vision and hear
ing, neurological changes, car
diovascular changes, pulmonary
changes, and the behavioral
sciences.
About 10 pilots and air traf-
fic controllers are run through
the mill each week. They are
volunteers who are up for their
required periodic physicals any
way. Then there are others
from the general population and
some with known chronic dis
seases, for control groups.
Year after year these men will
return to be reprocessed and as
each gradual physiological
change appears it will be noted
For example, the aging lung
develops fibrosis, it isn't as elias
tic as the young lung. This is
important because of it's reac-
tion to higher attitudes. When
does this process start?
There are only a few loca-
tions in the country where a
physician can flash a light into
one eye and see what happens
in the other. Georgetown is
one Of those places and it's
done on pupilograph machine.
This records the dimensions of
each pupil and how it changes
with different degrees of light.
In extreme fatigue the re-
action lessons with each success
sive flash. 1t is believed that
aging is similar to fatigue in
many ways.
The tests in GEORGETOWN
laboratories, however, are so
refined it is entirely possible
that disorders not detectihle by
the standard examinations will
be uncovered.
At present, how can it be
proved that these ordinarily
undetectable troubles affect
flying ability? That is for the
! future.

out, he warned them to drive
carefully going home.
Remember to obey all traf-
fic laws" he said. "The NAACF
always obeys the laws until
they are declared unconstitu.
tional."
Calls Mob Action "Inhuman'
Roy Wilkins, executive secre-
tary of the NAACP, told tbs
rally that the bus burningS ano
beatingS in Alabama this week
were a mob action, unciviI
and inhuman."
Mr.. Wilkins said that il
Alabama had "any honor as
far as white citizens are con-
cerned, it should secede from
the union"
THE bus beatings and burn
ingS make it clear that Ala
bama wants to operate on the
lowest level of human beings, -
Mr.. Wilkins said.
His comment about Alabama
came at the end of his pre-
pared speech. He told the
Prince Edward Negroes, "you
can't lose. You're bound to
win. Just stay with U.s."
In his prepared talk Mr..
Wilkins attacked Senator
Byrd, Democrat Of Virginia,
who had said in neighboring
Buckingham County last week
that the NAACP is responsible
for the closed Prince Edwards
schools.
1T seems elementary to re-
mind Senator Byrd that it was
not the NAACP that decided to
abolish the public school sys-
tenn Of this county. The
NAACP controls no schools or
school boards" Mr.. wilkins
said.
Praises Robert Kennedy
Later, at a press conference,
Mr.. Wilkins said, tits good
that Attorney General Robert
F. Kennedy is seeking to enter
the 10-year-old Prince Edward
school case as a co-plaintiff.
Mr.. Kennedy asked the Rich.
mond federal district court
recently for permission to in
tervene in the school case as
co-plaintiff on grounds the
school closures were thwarting
federal judicial processes.
Mr.. Wilkins also said the
NAACP would not indorse any
candidate in the present Vir-
ginia Democratic primary cam
paign.
During the rally, watched
closely by town and Prince Ed
ward authorities, traffic moved
slowly by Main street which
borders the courthouse.

Negro Seen
Successor to
Mclaughlin

Speculation that the Dis
trict's next commissioner will
be a Negro gained strength yes
terday from a statement by
the head of the local chapter
of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People.
The Rev. E. Franklin jackson
said he had assurances" that
President Kennedy will nomi-
nate a Negro to the post. The
NAACP leader indicated that
the White House was involved
in these assurances.
Robert E. Mclaughlin, a Re
publican. will step down at the
end of June after two three
year terms on the Board OF
Commissioners.
Mr.. Jackson, whose COM
ments were made on the WTOP
televiSion program City Side
said he feels Negroes in WASH
ington will have an expanding
say in city affairs because OF
the newly won right to vote Of
District residents.
There have been rumors that
local Democratic leaders were
considering three names for in
dorsement to the Commission
er's poSt-Francis J. Kane, q
transfer company president
and Adelbert w. Lee, former

member, both white, and John

But Joseph L. Rauh, a leader
of the District Democratic Gen.
tral Committee, last night said
he thought the local party or
ganization's support was split
between Mr.. Duncan and Frank
%. Reeves, another Negro, who
is a special assistant to the
President.
Mr.. Rauh, emphasizing that
the nomination decision is up
to the White House, said he felt
that Mr.. Reeves has the edge
in support from the local

Police officials say there are
thousands Of other released
felons in the District who are
not under parole or probation
surveillance.
Hugh F. Rivers, parole ex-
ecutive of the District Parole
Board, said that during an av-
erage month in fiscal 1860,
there were 578 PAROLES under
the boards supervision and
that only about 13 per cent Of
these were charged with pa
role violations.
He declared that former
prisonerS-parolees and those
whose sentences were reduced
for good behavior were
charged charged with only two
tenths of per cent of the 15,064
felony offenses reported by po-
lice in the fiscal year ending
last June 80.
This, he said, does not con-
stitute a major contribution
to crime in the community"
Opinions Differ
But other officials have ex-
pressed a sharply contrasting
view.
Short prison sentences have
been criticized. One propose
advanced at the hearing woulc
provide a mandatory life sen.
tence for persons convicted oi
four felonies.
The parole board chief later
said the latest figures compiled
by the board-for the current
fiscal year through May l.
show that the average monthly
number of PAROLES and good.
