Tests Show One
Highbull Impuirs
Performance

One highball can impair per-
formance on simple tests taken
under stress-provoking con-
ditions, a study indicated today.
The study, reported by
Francis w. Hughes, Ph.D.. and
Robert B. Forney, Ph.D.,
Indianapolis, in the current
Journal Of the American Medical
Association, was designed to de-
termine how a combination Of
alcohol and an antidepressant,
nortriptyline, affected an in
dividual.
Because Of the widespread use
Of alcohol and psychotherapeutic
drugs, they said, it is logical to
assume that this combination
will occur Inadvertently many
times.
Sixteen paid volunteer medical
and graduate students, eight men
and eight women, we're tested
at different times after taking
highball alone, the drug alone,
a combination Of the two, and a
fake drink and drug, the
researchers said. The highball
consisted Of three ounces of 100
proof bourbon with a carbonated
beverage and ice, they said. The
drug was given in two amounts,
10 and 25 milligrams, they said.
The tests, taken a half hour
after the alcohol and an hour
after the drug, included reading
unfamiliar essays forward and
backward, simple addition and
subtraction, and rapid color diff
ferentiation, the researchers
said. To create stress, the ex-
aminees' answers were re-
corded and the subjects were
required to wear earphoneS
through which they heard a de-
layed playback of their answers,
at louder than normal volume,
as they attempted to answer the
next question, according to the
report.
The bourbon consumed raised
the alcohol content of the blood
to a level where it is generally
considered that most people are
not measurably impaired, the
researchers said. However, they
said, in practically all Of the
tests, performance was ode
creased appreciably" after al
cohol ingestion alone.
The smaller dose Of nortrip-
tyline produced no change in
performance, they said. The
larger dose produced impair
ment in only one test, reverse
reading, they said. However,
they said, a general tendency
of the drug to counteract the
alcohol was noted.
The study failed to indicate
that nortriptyline, in the dosages
used, when combined with al
cohol produces any untoward re-
actions greater than those pro-
duced by either drug alone, they
said.

and toxicology, Indiana Uni
verSity School Of Medicine.

" hero and now vice president of the Xerox
Corporation here, celebrated his Goth birthday
last September, but it was not a happy occa-
sion.
1T would have been," the general says, IF
only DR.. Hemingstein had been here. He was
supposed to be, you know. flew to Spain in
1859 to help him celebrate his Goth birthday.
He was going to come here to help me cele-
brate nine"
But Ernest Hemingway (alias DR.. Heming-
stein, name he pinned on himselO was dead
And among those who mourned his passing
with personal grief was the WashingtOn-born
Gen. Lanham, winner of II decorations, in
cluding the Distinguished Service Cross, for
his valOr on the battlefields of Europe. Hem
ingway called him "the finest, most skillful and
most intelligent infantry soldier have ever
known"
The general, who lives with his wife at
34O7 WOolsey drive in Chevy Chase, Md, dis
closed in an interview with this writer hither-
to unknown anecdotes about the novelist and
his life on the front during World War H.
The enduring friendship between Heming
way and Gen. Lanham was brought to public
notice recently with the announcement that
the general had presented $50 letters from his
duInOr ITlenu 10 tne princeton university LII
brary. Prof. Carlos Baker, Hemingway's au-
thOrized biographer, called the collection the
longest, fullest, and most Informative sequence
of Hemingways letters to come to light since
began work year ago."
Sometimes he wrote once a week." Gen
Lanham says Sometimes it was three weeks.
We never counted letters. We never wrote duty
letters. Sometimes the letters we're incredibly
long, page after page of single-spaced type
written lines.
I'VE wrote to each other simply because
we liked one another and we enjoyed exchang-
ing views on just about everything including
politics, women, war, crises. fishing, literary
gossip and books"
They also saw each other frequently-in
Spain, Cuba New York and elsewhere. The
friendship offered the general insights into
the complicated character Of the novelist
few others can claim.
The general, Washington native and grad

his first meeting with Hemingway The date
was July g. 1914 The place, farmhouse COM
mand post in the hamlet of lie Mesnil Herman.
II was the third day ofthe Normandy break-out
operation, and according to the general. the
military situation was fluid and confused"
Neither side held organized positions and
artillery fire seemed to come from all direc-

Dillon Contrasts
Kennedy Cuts to
House Spending

HOLLYWOOD BEACH. Fla,
Mar. 81 (AP).-Secretary Of
the Treasury Dillon said today
that President Kennedy's pro-
posed spending cuts stand in
sharp contrast to recent action
by the House authorizing an
additional $497 million for
military procurement.
Mr.. Dillon. in a speech pre-
pared for the American Textile
Manufacturers Institute. said
Mr.. Kennedy already has pro-
posed cuts in Government ex-
penditures totaling 1862 mil
lion since sending his budget
TO Congress in January.
The House last week author
lied $l5.S billion for military
procurement, $497 million more
than In Mr.. Kennedy's budget
for the next fiscal year.
Mr.. Kennedy also Is expected
TO trim $500 million from his
$40 billion foreign aid budget
request.
Mr.. Dillon said the admin
istration seeks 10 eliminate
soft spots In the budget" az
part OF Its program 10 cut and
revise taxes for q total reduc-
ton Of si0.3 billion by 1865.

RockefeIIer's
Budget Sliced
ALBANY, NY, Mar. 81 CAP)

ALBANY, N. Y. Mar. 81 (AP).
The Legislatures re~olt
against Gov. Nelson A. Rookie
feller's proposed budget was
over today-with a major vic
tory for the budget rebels"
and a defeat for Gov, Rookie
Teller.
The seven-week-old uprising
reached its climax yesterday
when Republican Assemblyrnen
adopted a plan to slash SIS
million from Gov. Rockefeller's
So, 800, 00O,0 spending plan
and increase levies on alco-
holic beverages by 1884 million.
Approval of G.. o. p. Sena-
tors today was regarded as a
mere formality since the plan
was essentially the same as one
they adopted last week.
Republican legislative leaders
accordingly moved ahead with
plans to pass a trimmed version
of the Rockefeller budget next
Monday or Tuesday.
This will clear the way for
adjournment of the 1868 Leg
islature by April 8.
The rebels 20 openly avowed
in the Assembly and II in the
Senate-could claim victory be-
cause they had achieved their
major detectives:
/. They strapped Gov.
Rockefeller's plan for a $43
million increase in motor
vehicle registration charges.
2. They chopped down his
proposal for $57 million boost
in liquor-license fees, substi-
tuting their own plan calling
for a lesser increase in excise
taxes.
After the Assembly action
yesterday. the Republican Gov
ernor issued a statement say
ing he was gratif!ed that the
plan preserved the "pay-as-
you-go" principle, which he
called "a keystone of my adj
ministration."

House members would get
some extra benefits under pro-
posals approved by the House
Administration Committee.
Among other things the bills.

uled for consideration next
week, would:
Allow members an additional
$l0,506 a year for office help
and raise the salary ceiling for
employees from sl5,349 to $l6.-
2ss.
Finance two extra trips home
each year, at actual cost, in
addition to the 20 cents a mile
members now get for one round
trip per session.
Furnish members three in
stead of two rent-free offices
In their home bailiwicks-if the
space can be found In Govern
ment buildings. Members would
continue to get the $1,000 q
year they now receive to rent
such office space.
The committee also agreed TO
prohibit use of Federal funds
to pay any member Of a Con-
gresman's taft who does not
work in Washington or In the
Representatives home State.
This would force, for exam
pie, Representative PowelPs

To Ease Berlin Crisis

The State Department is not
sure what Mr.. Khrushchev
means by this suggestion but
believes his aim still is to put
an end to the Western occupa-

the city more vulnerable to
Communist pressures.
Rejection Forecast
If the suggestion is converted
into a proposal 1t seems certain
therefore to be rejected and
