This was the implication conveyed by several speakers at a seminar here on the cur rent uses of tranquilizers, stimulants and related drugs. Perhaps general practition ers are doling out the calming pills to relieve their own an xieties which develop when they do not know what to do for a patient, Dr. Joel Elkes of the National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, Md., suggested at the meeting sponsored by the Medical So ciety of the District of Colum bia. Only Treat Symptoms Tranquilizers can only treat symptoms. They cure nothing, he - stressed. Furthermore, they tend to "mask" symp toms that the doctor could find useful in diagnosing the patient's problem. They abol ish hostility, fear and anxie ty which are useful symptoms to the practitioner. The doc tor can become frustrated and anxious himself when these symptoms become evident in a patient. It must be kept in mind that abolishing these symptoms does not cure the patient, he said. Additional criticism came from Dr. Otis R. Farley, di rector of the medical and sur gical branch of St. Elizabeths hospital here. He reminded the doctor audience that many of these popular drugs can alter the body's ability to fight infections. Others can cause skin rash, and affect the function of the adrenal glands and entire enzyme system. No Specific Antidote Furthermore, there is no specific antidote for many of the tranquilizing drugs. Many of them have proven fatal when given in seemingly small dosages, he cautioned. By the time the physician is aware that the dosage is fatal, he cannot do much because there is no counteracting agent available for many of the drugs. Doctors should also be aware of the dangers of ad ministering these drugs in combination with other drugs. Dr. Farley pointed out that not enough is known about combinations of such drugs to justify less than a very cau tious approach. Questioning the claims and favorable reputation that rap idly developed after tranquil izers were introduced, he re minded doctors that he had seen more people develop bed wetting than he had seen cured of it as a result of treat ment with the drugs. SP . ! , - i I I i i Missfng Hot Rolls Traced by Police Portland, Ore. (DPD A res taurant owner arrived at his place of business with 300 hot rolls. To his annoyance, he found his key wouldn't open the front door. Leaving the crate of rolls on the sidewalk, he went to the back and broke a window. This got him into the bath room, but the bathroom door was locked. He smashed it, entered the dining room and tried to open the front door from the in side. It still wouldn't budge. So, he forced it and found . . . the crate of 300 rolls miss ing from the sidewalk. Police, responding to a call, put a tracer on the rolls. The mystery was soon solved: They had been picked up by and mangled in a city gar bage truck. ,,. TO TRANSFER FACILITIES This is an aerial view of a portion of the facilities at Huntsville, Ala., which are to be transferred to the National Aeronautics and Space Admin istration July 1 under terms of a Presidential proposal an nounced last October. ' It will be known as the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center. The facilities, occupied by 10 laboratories headed by Dr. 'Wernher von Braun, are valued at about $100 million. (UPI Telephoto) Radiation. May Improve Coal Washington - (Science Serv ice) , The possibility that atomic radiation could be used to make better bitumi nous coal for some purposes has been raised by the Bureau of Mines here. Research conducted by. the Bureau 'showed that irradia tion (by neutron and-gamma-ray bombardment) makes some bituminous coal hard er. This might ultimately make possible production of stronger coke. It is believed that radiation also disturbs the delicate elec trical balance of certain bitu minous coal molecules, pre disposing the coal to react more readily with other ma terials. If true, this could lead to improvements i n processes for changing coal to liquid fuels and chemicals. But "con siderable research will be re quired to confirm this possi bility," the Bureau said. The research, carried out at government-owned atomic in stallations, showed that radi ation left most varieties of coal "substantially unchang ed." Analyses were made on irradiated samples represent ing all ranks of bituminous coal, including lignite. FIRST AID WORK St. Louis The American Red Cross in one year issued 679,800 certificates to men and women who had com pleted the courses of instruc tion in emergency first aid training. School District's Fixed Charges Are kneeled To E3ise Toads Provided Shelter From Cold Des Moines - Toads that face cold winters here have got it made if they happen to meet 1 1 - year - old Thurman Jensen.

HERTZ TRUCK RENTAL Available at HOPKINS RICHFIELD SERVICE McAndrewi at Caurt a Phone SP 3-9063 (Editor's note: This is the last in a series of articles in which the proposed gen eral fund budget for School District 549C is reviewed. District patrons will vote on the propsed budget May 2. Today's article concerns fixed charges of the district, and items which were de leted from original consideration.) Increases in teachers sal aries and additional plant fa cilities are reflected in a rise in fixed charges in the Med ford school district proposed budget for 1960-61. Some $215,985 of the pro posed $3,914,846.99 general fund budget is allocated for retirement and social security expense, insurance and judg ments, interest on current loans and appraisal. Retirement and social se curity expenses are estimated at $174,072, while $36,320 has been allocated for insur ance and judgments. Interest on current loans amounts to $2,593, and $3,000 is budgeted for appraisal. Also included in the budget is $20,000 for emergency pur- I poses. Does Not Include Funds The general fund budget of $3,914,846.99 does not include $494,909.47 of the bond inter est and redemption fund or $237,060.97 in the school lunch fund. With the latter two added to the general fund, the total proposed estimated expenditures and reserve is $4,646,817.43. Estimated receipts in the bond interest and redemption fund total $69,036.60, leaving $425,872.87 necessary to bal ance the budget. Total esti mated tax levies for next year for the bond interest and re demption fund is $468,460.16, including $42,587.29, the esti mated amount which will not be collected in taxes. The school lunch fund is expected to balance itself with federal money received through the state, and the sale of lunches. Several Items Deleted Several items, which were originally considered to be in cluded in the budget, were deleted to trim expenses to what administrators consider ed a minmum for operational costs next school year. The items deleted, totaling about $85,399, are considered desirable, although adminis trators believe they are not necessary next school year. Some $18,000 worth of equipment for schools and for the wood, metal auto-mechanics shops was deleted, as was about $14,000 for replac ing a school bus. School and vocational shop equipment probably will be needed in the future, admin istrators indicated, and . al though the school bus re placement item is marginal next year, it may be neces sary to replace at least one bus the following year. Other items deleted from the original budget include I $4,000 for desk replacement' in four rooms; $2,000 from ' a band uniform replacement I fund; $2,500 for musical in-1 struments in e 1 e mentary j schools; $2,060 for audiovis-j ual aids equipment; $2,400 1 for cafeteria cooling equip ment; $7,000 for blacktopping playground areas; $8,250 for Howard school site addition; $680 for an electric mimeo graph; $1,000 for a dust con trol system at Hedrick Jun ior High's shop; and $300 for a radial arm saw for the Hedrick woodshop. School officials noted that additional land will have to be acquired for the Howard school site when the number of students increases. The site is marginally standard for the number of students now attending Howard school, they said. Some type dust control system at the woodshop at Hedrick is desirable, school officials noted, since some students can not now take shop who would like to be cause of too much dust. The radial arm saw at Hedrick would make the shop program there more ef fective, . officials said, but the district can get along without it during the coming year. Nova Visible As Faint Object Cambridge, Mass. - (Science Service) A new nova that can be seen as a faint object with the naked eye orbinocu lars was discovered March 7. A nova is a star that sud denly increases its light and becomes prominent in the sky for a time but later diminishes' its light and becomes obscure. The nova is a brightness of fifth magnitude. It can be seen from about 1 a.m. in the southeastern sky until morn ing when it will have moved up high in the southern sky. It is located in the Milky Way on the border between two constellations: Hercules, and Aquila, the eagle. The find was reported by Miss J. M. Vinter - Hansen, Danish astronomer, to Har vard College Observatory here, clearing house for as tronomical information in the Western Hemisphere.
