Upper Boy
Bridge Plan
BY the Associated Press

A proposal for a bridge
across the upper Chesapeake
Bay rather than a second span
near the Annapolis Eastern
Shore bridge has won the sup
port Of Representative Long,
Democrat Of Maryland.
Mr.. Long said he is urging
the Maryland Roads Commits
sion to build the second Bay
bridge between Sparrows Point
in Baltimore County and Toll
chester in Kent County.
A second bridge near the
present span, he said, would be
"waSteful, because it would
open no new horizons for the
Baltimore metropolitan area or
the State"
The proposed eight mile
Sparrows Point COLCHESTER
span. he added, would gave an
economic boost to Cecil, Kent
and Queen Anne Counties.
He said it would save 100
miles or more of travel between
Baltimore and the northern
part Of the Eastern Shore.
"A Baltimore Bay bridge
would not only free the city
for eastward expansion, but
would solve the problem of lin
tied waterfront that currently
exists in the port of Baltimore"

Passport Instructions
Not Simple for Some

NEW YORK, April 13 CAP -
Obtaining a passport is a SIM
pie, painless process. But some
times applicants complicate it
by their weird interpretations
of the matter-of-fact instruc-
tions. For example, that portion
of the application concerning
visible distinguishing marks
One man wrote:
Bald head, black eyes,
smokes cigars and has large
tattoo entitled 'MoCner' on
chest"
A woman responded:
You mean dressed or un-
dressed?"
Nevertheless, processing of
applications is going ahead at
a record rate at the State De-
partment's New York passport
agency under the direction of
Joseph r. Callahan.
Frequent HumOr
AS an example of the humor
that frequently pokes its head
into the prosaic business, Mr..
Callahan recalled the case Of
a man obtaining a passport for
his 6-year-old daughter.
Asked to describe her char
acteristics, he answered in one
word Naughty"
Mr.. Callahan recalled tina t
the little girl had sat on her
fathers hat, roamed the whole
terrain of the passport office
and otherwise made a pest of
herself while her father was
filling out a QUESTIONABLE for
her.
The simple question of "eyes"
- meaning color, of course -
threw another applicant. He
answered "l60 feet" Asked what

International Center
On Drugs Under Study

Growing concern that neither
the specialized researcher nor
the average physician can keep
up with the latest on drugs has
moved the Public Health Serv-
ice to undertake a four-month
study of the needs of various
groups for a Drug Information
Clearing House.
Surgeon General Luther L,
Terry announced last night
that DR.. william Spring, for
mer director of the department
of drugs of the American Medi-
cal Association. was engaged
last week to make the study.
I'VE expect a full report by
midsummer" DR.. Terry told
an Institute on Appraisal of
Teaching Techniques at George
Washington University.
Mental Illness Unit
He said the PHS also is look
ing at suggestions that a clear
ing house be established to
exchange information on mental
illness and mental retardation.
A third idea under study is
for an advisory committee at
the National Library of Medi-
cine to review and evaluate ap-
plicationS for financial support
of scientific publications.
DR.. F. Ellis Kelsey, husband
of DR.. Frances o. Kelsey who
kept thalidomide off the mar
ket. has been developing these
ideas as a special assistant to
the Surgeon General.
In interviews earlier, he es-
timated the drug information
project might cost $40 million
a year to operate. This would
be more than a fourth the total
Evening star., 1963-04-13

annual operating budget of the
Food and Drug Administration
AS he emissions it, the project
would involve the collection
of unpublished as well as pub
lished reports on drugs. This
would require personnel in for
eign countries, DR.. Ellis Kelsey
said.
Indirectly 10 Doctors
The clearing house would
supply reports to many govern
ment and private groups, ad-
vancing research and prevent
ing duplication of research,
DR.. Kelsey said. 1t would not
be designed to reach the average
physician directly.
A private system called Medi-
phone was operated in the Dis
trict briefly for information for
physicians. 1t saved several lives
but failed to make enough
to survive.
The head of the former Medi-
phone service has said the sys-
tenn could be run for 100000
a year. 1t would provide mailed
drug reports and trlcphoncd
emergency advice and also COL
lect data on drug side effects.
DR.. Kelsey's system, in con-
trast, would be aimed more at
agencies like the Food
and Drug Administration in
their work.
Staff members of the Senate
Subcommittee on Reorganiza-
ton and International Organ
ization are finding that the

equate way to get accurate,

he meant, he said that was how
far he could see.
The questions of eyes and
hair seem to perplex many ap-
plicants. Frequent answers con-
corning both are "yes."
Woman Confused
One woman said she under
stood that citizens of the United
States may be either male or
female upon reaching the age
of 81, if of good moral char
acter. (UnScramble that oneD
An elderly gentleman from
abroad. finding difficulty in ex-
pressing himself in English, was
under the impression that "one
becomes a citizen of the United
States, first by being born here
and secondly by the smelling
pot"
Another applicant, lacking
the proper credentials, was
asked how he became a citizen
Of the United States. He in
sisted he was a "neutralized"
citizen.
A man, requested to sign his
photograph above his head,
held the picture above his head
and made a gallant if futile
effort to affix his signature be-
fore he was brought down to
earth.
Indian Birthplace
An Indian once told a clerk
he was born in a reservoir in
Oklahoma"
And, on occasion, the pass
port office is asked to pass on
touchy questions. Such as one
posed by a telephone caller who
said she was going to share a
stateroom on a ship with a man
who was not her husband. She
wanted to know if she could
get in trouble doing this.
The passport agency assured
her Solemnly there was no Fed
eral regulation against it.
Meanwhile, the business of
issuing passports is proceeding
briskly ir the Rockefeller Gen.
ter office here.
For the months of January
and February this year, 30,857
passports were issued. The
number for the same period last
year was 22,954.
