lection of a one-dollar fee for each
inspection and that this fee is to
defray the cost of materials &C
quired, necessary to the inspec-
tion. He also pointed out that be-
ginning June 1, 1868, all vehicle
operators who are subject to the
Arizona laws and courts, and who
do not display an official inspec-
tion decale on their vehicles, will
be subject to citation and upon
conviction therefor, a fine.
Superintendent Nelson urged all
residents of the reservation who
have not already done so to have
their vehicle inspected and certi-
fled as safe as soon as possible
and that everyone not wait until
the last few days before the dead
line of May 31st. He also stated
that the intent behind the law was
the protection of all motorists by
ridding the public highways of
unsafe vehicles.

Brain Cells
Never Sleep

WASHINGTON (NANA)--Bra
cells never sleep. They are just IS
active when an animal is asleep
as when it is awake. However,
their patterns of activity change.
This has just been reported to
the American Association for the
Advancement of Science by DR..
Edward v. Evarts and his as
sociates, neurologists of the Ma
tional Institute of Health.
Their experiment. we're car
ried out with cats in whose brains
recording electrodes had been i'm
planted. The rate at which the
brain cells "discharged," or
showed activity, was recorded.
"T'he results indicate" says
the report, ''that in the brain
regions investigated, waking and
sleep differ with respect to organ
izarion of activity within the
neuronal (brain cell) population
rather than with respect to the
total amount of discharge.
"The waking state involves
greater differentiation of dis
charge rates, whereas the popu-
lation is more homogeneous during
sleep. When waking is associated
with presentation of Stimula ade-
quate to excite nerve discharge,
there results, however, a major
increase in discharge rates of the
nerve population as whole.
"ThuS we have observed that the
mean discharge rate of the visual
cortex is considerably greater
during usually guided behavior
than during either sleep or waking
in the absence of visual stimu-
lation. 1t therefore appears that
in both a primary receiving and
associative area of the brain COR
tex and in the brain stem, the
physiological correlate of waking
is change in pattern of nerve
discharge rather than an increase
in the total amount of activity"
There is no increase, in other
words, in the activity of the brain
as whole but only in areas of the
cerebral cortex which are at the
moment stimulated by such things
as sights or sounds.

ARIZONA VEHICLE SAFETY
INSPECTION IS CLARIFIED

Arizona vehicle safety inspection
law became effective on January
/, 1868, and the deadiine for re-
ceiving such inspections and the
display of the official inspection
sticker on Arizona registered We
hicles is May 81, 1868.
Because OF the relatively few
commercial garages and filling
stations throughout the reservation
equipped to carry out these inspec-
tionS. the Arizona Motor Vehicle
Department requested the Navajo
Police Department to aid them in
making inspections in areas where
such services we're not readily
available by commercial opera
tors.
AS a result, an orientation of
Navajo Police officers on inspec-
tion procedures was conducted by
personnel of the Arizona Motor
Vehicle Department and four Dist
rict Police Stations were deSig-
mated as official Motor Vehicle
Department inspection stat ons.
They are: Fort Defiance, Arizona:
Chinle, Arizona: Tuba City, Ari-
zona, and Shiprock, New Mexico
1.-THE latter station to cover the
Teec Nos Pos and Mexican Water
areasl
These four District Police Sta
tions have designated officers at
the various subStations who are
trained and authorized to make the
official safety inspection and to
issue the inspection stickers. Res
idents of these police districts may
inquire of the District Captain the
location of the closest station in
their area authorized to make
inspections.
Superintendent Nelson pointed
out that the police will not COM
pete with commercial garages or
filling stations that have been des-
ignated official inspection stations
by the M.V.D.. in any area of the
reservation; rather. the police de-
partment will only conduct inspec-
tions as a courtesy to the public
in those areas where there are no
commercial enterprises desig-
mated as official inspection sta
tionS.

that the law provides for the col

Alexandra
Seeks Role in
Water Suit

Alexandria will try to enter
the suit between Fairfax Coun-
ty and the Alexandria Water
Co. when the case is heard by
the State Supreme Court Of APP
peals next week.
The City Council last night
instructed City Attorney v.
Floyd williams to seek permis-
sion to file a brief, as a friend
of the court, stating the city's
concern"
The water company serves all
OF Alexandria and parts Of Fair
fax and Prince William coun-
ties. The city will oppose con-
demnation by the county on the
grounds that 1t would be detri-
mental to the city's interests.
The Board of County Super
visors filed the suit against the
company's facilities in Fairfax
and Prince william counties

to buy the property for $40 mil
lion
The councils action was in
line with recommendations by
the Alexandria Advisory Water
Works Committee and the at
torney for the water company,
State Senator Armistead L.
Boothe.
If the county is successful in
its action, Mayor Frank E.
Mann said, Alexandria will have
no voice in the setting of water
rates, complete control Of the
city's water supply would rest
with the county and the door
would be closed to considera.
ton Of a Joint authority.
BY entering the case, the
council is not concerning itself
with the issue of private versus
public ownership, Mayor Mann
added.

Gil authorized condemnation

Of a 13.5-acre tract for an ele-
nentary school at Polk avenue

BACKYARD LUXURY
HomeoWners Protest
IA Miles of Sidewalk

Proposed sidewalks in Rock
Creek Palisades were described
yesterday as merely paving the
way to pesky obstacle courses
and unequitable taxes.
The outburst by a dozen citi-
zens came at a Montgomery
County Council hearing on
plans for IA miles of sidewalks
along the Connecticut avenue
extension between University
boulevard and Viers Mill road.
Several citizens objected be-
cause they would have to pay
for sidewalks along their back
yards. Their homefronts face
existing sidewalks on streets
paralleling Connecticut avenue.
David Macdonald, an attor-
ney, said he represented 81
property owners on Woodson
avenue who object to being as
sessed for sidewalks that will
sandwich them between the
concrete strips.
ITS like having two heads, :"
he said.
Dean o. Croyle of Bran
dywine street, objected to being
assessed for a backyard" side
walk he would be able to reach
only by climbing over a 12-foot

A final vote will be taken next
week.
The controversial request
for apartment zoning affects
tracts near the Army Map Serv-
Ice east of the Potomac River
off Macarthur boulevard and
Sangamore road.
The proposal has been Bit
terly fought by persons trying
to save the natural beauty OF
the Shoreline.
Final action on the l.9 acres
came in a 4-to-l vote with
Councilman John H. Hiser the
lone diSSenter in favor of the
apartments. Councilman Jerry
T. Williams abstained because
he did not attend the public
hearing and has not finished
studying the testimony.
Win Walkers Support
Councilmen John A. Floyd,
Thomas M. Wilson and Mrs.
Mary A. Hepburn, who opposed
apartments on the 3.5 acre tract
last week, picked up the sup
port of Grover K. Walker who
previously favored the zoning
change.
"Just because there are a few
apartments already in the area
is no reason why there should
be more" Mr.. Walker said.
Mr.. Hiser again voted for the
rezoning, while Mr.. Williams
and Miss Kathryn E. Diggs abb
stained.
In another coming action, the
council denied a request by At
torney E. Edward Nicholson for
a rehearing on a petition for
apartments on 10 acres near
Germantown. Rezoning has
twice been denied for the tract
in the northeast quadrant Of

circumstances are different now
that an employment center and
sewer lines are planned with
the opening of Fairchild Stra-
toS, Inc, laboratories in the
quadrant.
I'VE adopted this three-year
waiting period to protect the
people, and If we MAJ an ex-
ception to the rule now there
will be a lot of additional re-
quests for the same thing" Mr..
Walker said.
DR.. Wilson noted the Fair
child project is not expected to
open until 1865, and at that
time Mr.. Nicholson will be able
to reapply under regular pro-
cedureS.
In other business, the coun-
Gil:
Said no formal action will
be taken on requests for a pub
lie hearing on a budget cut
eliminating 200 proposed teach
ing positions until teacher
pupil ratio studies are complete.
