(UPI Telephoto) Model Builders Make Replicas For Industrialists New York IUPII - A child's pastime of cutting out house like parts and gluing them to gether into throe dimensional forms can mature into a grown-up occupation. And so it happened that Norman .Briskman, who once built a world In miniature, now owns his own model con struction business which hand-makes replicas for lead ing architects and industrial ists. Model Viewed Daily Tens of thousands of per sons view daily in Grand Cen tral Terminal Briskman's 11- foot scale model of the 58- gtory Grand Central City com plex which will be complet ed and tower over the famed train and subway station in 1962. Briskman's firm at Hewlett, Long Island, employes eight full-lime professional model builders whose many other projects range in size from Disabled Portland Yacht Reaches Safety Ncah Bay, Wash. - (LPB -The 83 -foot Portland, Ore., yacht Olive Collins was es corted here by a Coast Guard boat Wednesday after the pleasure craft became dis abled in heavy fog directly on the course of the Norpac sailboat race. The Olive Collins, owned and skippered by John J. Collins, broke down with gen erator trouble a half mile off Makkah Bay, about one and one-half miles south of Cape Flattery while cruising to Vic toria with seven persons aboard. Castaway Children Lost, Found, at Show Asbury Park. N J. - Chil dren had an awful time navi gating through this year's Jersey Coast Boat show, ac cording to citv officials. More than 25 children were lost and found in the first week of the show. "That's more than we lose nil summer on the beaches," commented the city informa tion director. higher than a house to small enough to fit in one's coat pocket. "There is a need for this type of thing," Briskman said. "People save time and get answers to their questions by simply looking at a mod el." Briskman got his profes sional model making start some five years ago when he began knocking on the doors of New York s architects and construction engineers. "One job led to another," he said. "We tried to main tain a high standard of qual ity. We do very little door knocking now. We find that recommendation is the es sence of our business." Briskman's model of the projected Grand Central City is complete down to the most minute details. It shows the terminus of the passenger trains and an exactly scaled cutaway of the terminal build ing. There are waiting trains on tiny tracks. One major railroad even complained that ito iiv.fns were outnumbered by a com petitor's, resulting 1n a re shuffling to even distribution of the miniature rolling stock. Ability to Tell Slory Briskman believes the se cret of his model's attention attracting lies in its ability to tell a story very quickly and completely for busy peo ple. Many people in seeing the model and its trains and track layout never realized the complexity of the huge terminal under the ground level," he said. Over the years Briskman and his skilled builders have made replicas of products as varied as military vehicles, detergent bottles, casserole carrying trays and buildings to be erected on New York's Fifth Ave. Construction of security classified models of space ve hicles and missiles is one of the firm's current projects. "All that you need are the imagination and ingenuity to reproduce in miniature the feeling of buildings or prod ucts," said Briskman, w h o sees unlimited possibilities In the expanding model con struction business. Common Drug Found To Be Anticonvulsant Kingston, R.I.- (Science Service A common drug has been found to possess anti convulsant properties. The drug may have potential use in the treatment of epileptic seizures, but scientists warned the research to date is not conclusive. Dr. Eugene Roberts of the City of Hope Medical Center, Duarte, Calif., reported the research 'at the American Chemical Society's Medicinal Chemistry Symposium here today. He said the compound hy- droxylamine had been found to help prevent epileptic-like seizures induced in laboratory animals. At the same time that the compound produced an anti convulsant effect. Dr. Roberts said, it also raised brain lev els of another substance, gam ma - aminobutyric acid (GABA). Dr. Roberts earlier research had shown GABA to be present only in the brain and in the spinal cord. Later sludit ly him and others showed that GABA plays a key role in regulating elec trical activity in nerve cells, possibly by inhibiting or mod ulating the transmission of nerve impulses. Formation Outlined 'Investigations at the City of Hope and elsewhere have outlined the formation, me tabolism and other mechan isms in the biochemistry of GABA with increasing clari ty, he said. The search for a way to raise the brain lev els of GABA in normal ani mals was begun In 1951. Many gaps exist In the knowledge of GABA's bio chemistry." Dr. Roberts said. "Increasing collaboration be tween the biochemist, phar macologist, neurophysiologist nnn physician will be needed to fill these gaps."

Johnson said of him, He was like a aacmy to me always. , , Johnson is a proud Texan. His LBJ ranch is near John son City, Texas, a town with a population of about 650, which his grandfather found ed. There he has a herd of about 100 Hereford cattle. His speeches frequently begin with a joke about Texas' size and he has been a resource ful senator for his state, often put ting measures through Congress which will help Tex as economically. Johnson has summed up his "approaches" to issues which he says are "more enduring or encompassing" than the an swers to specific issues. He believes that every American has something to say and the right to be heard; that there Fire Companies Save Badly Charred Roast Parmus, N.J. - Two fire companies raced to the home of Mrs. Peter Zoschk.

John son of Texas to get the Demo cratic presidential nomination stress the theme: "A Leader to Lead the Natiorl." But Johnson has had trou bles as a leader in his home state, with his fellow Dem ocrats in the Senate, for whom he is majority leader, and with his National Demo cratic party. He is generally credited with being a remarkably ef fective majority leader, re solving divergent viewpoints in the Senate to hammer out legislation. He also is unques tionably leader of the Demo cratic party in Texas. But he has twice broken with the Democrats there, most of whom supported the Republican national ticket in 1952 and 1956. While he said he disagreed with Democratic candidate Adlai Stevenson on the tidelands oil issue, he chose to stay with the party. Despite these differences, the Texas legislature in 1959 a c c o m m odatcd Johnson's plans by passing a bill to al low a man to run for two of fices at once on the Texas bal lot. Johnson's Senate seat is up for election, so it was as sumed that he might want to run for that and president, too, this year. Johnson forces ran into more trouble June 14 at the Texas State convention but, in a showdown with a "lib eral" group headed by Na tional Committeewoman Mrs. R. D. (Frankic)) Randolph, Johnson's legions won 2,252 to 40. As Senate Leader As leader in the Senate Johnson has been under at tack because of the very strength of his leadership. Sen. William Proxmire (D Wis.) led off the criticism last year, saying, "The typical Democratic Senator has lit erally nothing to do with de termining the legislative pro gram and policies of his par ty." Johnson retored: "This one man rule stuff is myth Nevertheless Johnson is known for his ability to rec ognize the political needs of each member and to make person-to-person approaches which add up to majorities on the Senate floor. He gener ated much gratitude among his colleagues when he insti tuted a change in the com mittee assignment system giv ing each freshman Senator a seat on at least one major committee. Paul M. Butler, Democrat ic national chairman, has had another bone to pick with Johnson's leadership. As head of Congressional forces for mally in opposition to the President, Johnson has follow ed a "responsible" course aimed at "achieving laws not just issues." Butler and some other Dem ocrats say their party should pursue a program of its own beliefs, passing strong meas ures instead of "veto-proof" legislation. Ex-Sen. Herbert H. Lehman (N. Y.) said Dem ocrats lost the 1956 presiden tial election because Congres sional leadership did "almost everything to prevent any controversy from being seri ously joined or vigorously de bated." Johnson claims that tiie election of large Demo cratic majorities in Congress in 1954, 1956 and 1958 vindi cates his hpproach. Johnson came to Congress first in 1937 at the age of 29. He was something of a pro tege of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his first cam paign was strictly along New Deal lines, including an en dorsement of the president's controversial "court-packing" is a national answer to every question, and therefore not necessarily two sides; that "achievement of the full po tential of our resources" is next to protection of Inalien able rights as the highest pur pose of government; and that waste is the "continuing ene my of our society" and elim ination of waste the moat pressing of government'! re sponsibilities. Johnson has almost invari ably supported administration foreign policy because he be lieves, "The issues of war and peace are far too serious to be settled in the arena of nar row partisan debate." He has however complained of waste and maladministration in for eign aid and information pro grams and of alleged fail ures by the administration to take advantage ot propagan da opportunities. He was one of the first Dem ents to criticize the Eisen hower Administration, saying May 25, 1953, that the Presi dent must assume the respon sibility of. providing strong leadership. He has long been associat ed with defense and military matters, having been on com mittees dealing with the arm ed services since he entered Congress. In 1957-58 his pre paredness investigating sub committee made a study of U.S. defenses and outlined areas in which the U.S. was not satisfactorily prepared and made 17 suggestions by which the U.S. program could be improved. Despite his early associa tion with Roosevelt, Johnson would not be ranked a "New Deal" type Senator today. The Americans for Democratic Ac tion have ranked him way below other Presidential con tenders in the Senate in their yearly ranking according to "liberal positions" votes. He has taken middle-of-the road positions of civil rights and while he helped steer the 1959 labor bill through the Senate he wrote to constituents that in some respects, "and some of these are very desirable to me, the House diu is strong er." Johnson retains a New Deal flavor in his approach to em ployment and economic cy cles. He frequently has called for public works projects and increased government spend ing to boost unemployment.
