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

tral Terminal Briskman's 11-
foot scale model of the 58-
gtory Grand Central City com
plex which will be complet

train and subway station in

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

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."

Washington (CQ)-National
and local committees work
ing for Sen. Lyndon B. 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.
