Speaker Says Youths Are Led to
 Take Dope on Dare

Washington, Feb. q OP1- Warning that operations of narcotic rings have increased in the Unitad States recently was issued today bv Assistant Secretary of Treasury Lowman at the opening of the forth annual narcotic education week.
 Lowman said fl is estimated there arc 100000 addicts in America. II , pointed out 7,205 narcotic law vio- lators were apprehendcd last year and the government obtained J,1&3 convictions
 Narcotics arc so easily concealed and transported and the profits so enormous that huge organizations Of international scope have be n built mp by criminals to handle drugs Lowman said:
 investigations have shown that drug pcddlers attempt to secure youthful victims through curiosity or a dare 10 try anything once, basel in most cases upon the ignorance Of the victim as to the cons9- qUences."
 Lowman said education constitutes the foundation for protection of the individual in the new narcotic drUs environment
 Investigations have shown that a large percentage of the boys and girls in the underworld have come down the drug road" he sad. "Thousands of American youths are caught yearly in this living death, menacing the public health, public morals and public safety of the Country.'

They have been express cd repeatedly by officials in publish ed reports virtually since the com lnlssIon began to function. Thoy probably will be reiterated when the committee resumes it's inVestiga- ton next week, with a list of alleged irregularities said to be the result Of inefficient and inadequate personnel.
 senator Couzens drafted the con- 1nunCauonS measure to establish control of all companies dealing in interstate commerce. Bitter oppo- slton has been presented to pro- visions which would place telephone and telegraph companies under fed eral control, but this has been met by other witnesses, and by senators cross-e&amining opposition repre- Scntdtives.
 Little Objection tO Radio
 Little objection has been raised to the proposal to put radio com- munication under control of the suggested commission, although it is clear the regulation contemplated would be more thorough than that exercised by the present radio com mission.
 The second power bill must have extensive preparation before its drafting is completed, but work upon it already is going forward. It would accomplish with power com- panies, distributing, selling, and gen. eratlng. the same degree of control embodied in the communications measure, including supervision of rates to the consumer.

Widespread Results Prob- able If Bills Pass-Hear- ings On One Completed by Interstate Commerce Commission.

Washington, Feb. 21.-1Pl-After weeks of intensive investigation two important pieces of legislation look Ing toward government regulation ot utilities in interstate commerce are on their way 10 the senate.
 senator touzens republican, Michigan, who with other members Of the senate interstate commerce committee laid the foundation for inc measures, hopes 10 get one of mem through this session, setting In q new federal power commission in accord with President Hoovcr's de- sire. The Couzens proposal for fed eral control of communications also will be pressed
 Wants Complete Information
 We want complete information. he said today, but we hone 1o 1lhiSl our Investigation Of the pres cht commission with dispatch. We snail do everything possible to speed passage"
 In addition inc committee con templates a measure further rcgu- Ia,lng power generation and distri- button, and fourth looking to rail- way consolidation along lines laid down by the interstate commerce commission.
 Because Of the legislative jam behind the tariff bill, leaders hold little hope that the railway bil, by -SeHator Fess, republican, Ohio, will nc reported in time for action by this congress. There is some doubt also, it was indicated today that the second power bill will get beyond introduction.
 Completes Hearings
 The interstate commerce commit ice, however, has completed hear InGs on the communications bill, and likely will report it shortly aft "r the first power measure is ready for presentation.
 Drafted by the Michigan senator the first power bill would reorganizc inc power commission 10 meet diff 'culti9s the present body has en- countercd in performing its duties. II would make the commission q body of three civilians working full time for Sl0,0n0 q year with full authority for employing assistants.
 Virtually no opposition 10 this measure has appeared, but it is cX- pcCtcd that somc differences Of opinion within the committee will arise before discussion is completed.
 Over the accounting and en- @inecring departments of the com- mission controlling permits 10 pow CT companies developing hydro electric power, there is discussion of matters Of jurisdiction. This agencys business deals with navigahle streams in which the war department has jurisdiction, and with national forest lands over which the agriculture department has supervision
 Question On Commission
 Consequently there appears to be some question how far congress should go in creating a set-up under which tho commission would act in- dependently, through it's own staff of engineers and other experts. It is recalled, however, that this difficult ty might be handled through con- trol of appropriations allowed the new commission.
