Court Rules Out
Homicide Trial
For Martins

NEW YORK, Dec. Is APP
An appellate court ruled yester-
day that Gareth Martins, %,
son Of acting State Supreme
Court Justice Joseph A. Mar
TINS. won't have to stand trial
on vehicular homicide charges
growing out Of an accident in
which five persons were killed.
The appellate division Of the
State Supreme Court held that
to prosecute Mr.. Martins on
the charges would constitute
double jeopardy.
On July 81, three Bronx
Criminal Court judges ac-
quilted Mr.. Martins on charges
Of reckless and drunken driy-
ing, and leaving the scene of
an accident. A Bronx grand
jury later indicted him on the
Vehicular homicide charges.
Mr.. Martins attorney. Maui
rice Edelbaum. went before the
appellate division to contend
that II Mr.. Martins were tried
on the vehicular homicide
charges the State would have
70 prove reckless driving on Mr..
Martins part because it is re-
CURED under law in prosecuting
such charges. Thus Mr.. Mar
TINS would in effect be on trial
Tor q charge on which he al-
READY had been acquitted.

Wood Druq
Studied for
Medical Use

PORTLAND, Greg. Dec. 10
(AP)-A drug derived from
wood is being studied by scien-
lists at the University Of Oregon
Medical School for possible
medical application.
Researchers said the drug
may be useful as an agent to
transport medicine through the
body quickly. They said it Is
being tested also in preservation
Of blood, bone marrow and or
gans for transplanting. as q
pain killer and for agricultural
use.
The colorleSs liquid drug, d.
amethyl sulfoxide, was devel-
oped by the Crown Zellerbaeh
Corp. and has been used as q
commercial solvent. 1t is de-
rived from a substance which
binds woods fibers together.
Robert Herschler of the
firms research department sug-
gested the drug to DR.. Stanley
M. Jacob of the medical school,
who was looking for a SUBJ
stance which would cool vital
organs used in transplant ex-
periments. 1t was during this
work that other possible bene-
fits were discovered.
The medical school and
Crown Zellerbach have signed
contracts to continue testing
the drug, which also is called
DMSO.

Johnson Signs
Vocational Bill

President johnson today
signed a bill expanding Federal
aid for vocational education
which he said provides the
tools for a major attack on one
of the biggest obstacles to the
Nations economic growth.
Modern demands of labor
and industry require greater
skills and knowledge in work.
ers, the President said as he
signed the measure.
He said he believed the new
law will help close the gap
between the number of techni-
clans needed in this country
and the number being turned
out by its educational system.
He added that he was told that
10000 technicians are needed
each year in the engineering
field alone, with only 10000
coming out Of school.
In addition to expanding the
vocational education program
through grants to States, the
bill expands and extends the
National Defense Education
Act, increasing funds available
for student loans, and extends
the program of Federal aid for
operation and construction Of
schools in areas affected by
Federal activity.
Maryland will get $l77 mil
! lion in impacted school aid
funds and Virginia SASS in
a one-year extension Of the
funds they received in 1862.
Also included in the law is
authorization for an expert
mental residential school in
the District, to provide room,
board and other necessities to
vocational students. The school
will cost $4.2 million to build
and So million to run each
year.
Mr.. johnson said Congress
has Justly and fully earned
the title Of the education

sage of this measure and other

occupants. Mr.. Siegel said he Is
prepared to meet this require
ment with lagoons and q
pumping station, until there
are enough inhabitants to JUS
tify hooking onto the Potomac
interceptor sewer.
The entire Siegel tract,
which has escaped public no.
tice almost completely since
the Civil War, reappeared In
the public eye about 10 months
ago when it was proposed for
annexation to the town Of
Poolesville (pop.: $500.
Backed by Council
The town council favored the
plan because its members fig
ured that Mr.. Siegel's land, ex-
tending directly to the banks
Of the Potomac River. held the
key for a sewage and water
system to solve Poolesville's Sc
riouS percolation problems.
The resulting battle between
pro and con factions made the
Civil War skirmishes seem al
most insignificant in COMPARE
son. PooleSville again became
an armed camp, which ended
when its $50 registered voters
went to the polls and, by a mar
row margin, trimmed down the
annexation.
Not long afterwards, the vot-
ers also voted against the town
council, which had proposed
the annexation in the first
place. and replaced them with
a group dedicated to keeping
Poolesville the same small, pic
turesque village it has been
since Union and Confederate
troops met there 100 years ago.

SteedApOIogy
Appears
Congress Feud
By the AssoeiussdP Press

A war between the House
and the Senate appeared to BE-
over today after Representative
Steed. Democrat Of Oklahoma
apologized to the Senators for
linking them with talk about
call girls.
After Mr.. Steed's address in
the House yesterday. that body
gave him a standing ovation
and then passed a bill contain
ing a pet Steed project-free
congressional mail to anyone
back home with a mail box
whether the Congressman puts
down the name Of the occu-
pant or not.
This provision, which the
Senate calls Junk mail" and
the House calls patron mail, /"
has held UP for months q $751;
2s3,00o legislative appropria-
ton bill and led to the famous
charges by Mr.. Steed.
For House Only
The bill now includes a
compromise provision allowing
House members-but not
Senators. who say they don't
want the privilege-to send the
unaddressed mail home free,
but limiting it to their own
districts. House passage sent it
to the Senate.
Mr.. Steed, angered by the
Senate's original refusal to
allow this provision, told news
men a few months ago that he
knew Of two call girls on an
unidentified Senator's payroll
and that Senators had a Her
nando's hideway" in their
basement for afternoon drink
ing.
A Little Impatient"
II have been somewhat
inept," Mr.. Steed told the
House yesterday. 81 got q little
impatient and said a few
things I now regret. It had the
effect of making me about one
of the most unpopular men in
the Senate that a man can be-"
But. noting that the Senate
had taken some time recently
to attack Mr.. Steed, the Con-
gresham said "the way that
they talked about me on the
floor Of the other body equal
lied the debt"
Mr.. Steed. who heads a
House Appropriations subcom-
mittee, said he didn't want the
Senate to try to punish the
whole House Of Representatives
for my sins"

Surplus Jeep' Racket
4 axes Buyers for Ride

Agency at Cameron Station in
Alexandria, Va. He administers
the sale Of surplus property for
the Defense Department.
Col. Sullinger said it has not
been learned whether the con
men are organized. He said
they generally operate this
way:
One or more Of them, posing
as statesmen of surplus jeepS,
enter a community and quickly
gain the confidence Of a re-
spected citizen. Then they use
him to sell their jeeps- cash
now and delivery later-to per-
sons who know and trust him.
In almost every case, the cost
is $50 each.
The buyers receive official
looking contracts of sale and
await the jeeps which never
arrive. Meanwhile, the swim
dlers move on.
If the buyers had inquired
before handing over their
money, the Defense Department
would have told them that it
strips its surplus jeepS of all
usuable parts and sells the re-
naming material for $500 to
$500 each to scrap dealers. 1t
has never sold new or almost
new jeeps.
Federal authorities have been
unable to investigate because
the racketeers never claim they
represent the Government and
they do not use the mails in
their scheme.
The local case came to light
when the HyattSville housewife
was put in touch with Col. Sui
linger as she attempted to find
out if the Government was get
ting rid of a number of new
jeeps. She said her husband and
a neighbor were considering
buying one Of the vehicles from
an employee of the research firm
at which her neighbor works.
