BILL SETS MANDATORY
NARCOTICS SENTENCES
Commissioner Tells Subcommittee
of Needs to Check Use
Of Opiates.

New legislation to make mandatory
10-year sentences for second-time vio-
lators of the Narcotic Act and 20-year
sentences mandatory for third-time
violators is being prepared by H. J..
Anslinger, commissioner of narcotics,
and is to be introduced by Representa-
tive Daily, Democrat, of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Daily made this known when Mr..
Anslinger told the House subcommittee
conducting hearings on the Treasury
appropriation bill that such legislation
''is very much needed"
Addiction to drugs in general is
decreasing, Mr.. Anslinger told the
committee, but the use of marihuana
Is growing, because it is so much
easier to get, while the use Of heroin
is decreasing. Heroin, however, still
remains the worst drug, with mari
huana close second, he said. During
October and November under the Ma
rihuana Tax Act, 153 arrests were
made and SSH ounces of bulk mari
huana, ITS ounces Of seeds, 2,102
cigarettes and l8,202 growing plants
were seized. Those who have been
selling the seed for bird food have
agreed to sterilize seed 50 l. will lose
its terminating power and this should
prove "a very great factor in reducing
much of the growth" Mr.. Anslinger
said.

VIENNA, July 13-Chancellor Kurt
Schuschnigg in one of his rare news
paper articles made clear today that
Austria and Hungary definitely have
cast their lot with Fascist Italy and
Germany.
Discussing q three-day conference
in Budapest of the foreign ministers
of Italy. Austria and Hungary, under
provisions of the Rome pact on trade,
Schuschnigg said:
I'VE never have doubted that the
Rome protocols are our best orienta-
ton. Their continuation seems at
the conclusion of the Budapest con-
situations to be incontrovertible to
fact.
Anxiety Felt for League.
"The Italian policy of closer friend
ship with Germany, a So called factual
policy, is in complete accord with
this fact. An anti Communist
pact long has been a practical real
ity for Austria and Hungary.
Like all human enterprises, the League
has in no wise fulfilled its initial aims
I'VE consider 1t our right and duty
to try to bring new life to the great
old League"
Thus the chancellor exhibited SYM
pathy and Endorsement of the Ger
man-Japanese-1talian accord to COM
bat Communism but indicated Aus
trias wish for League of Nations re-
form rather than to Withdrawals
Italy, Germany and Japan have done.
Franco to Be Recognized.
The principal definite accomplish
ment of the Budapest conferences
was announcement by Austria and
Hungary that they would recognize
Generalissimo Franco-following in
the steps Of Germany and Italy.

This new unit was set up by order of
the Secretary Of the Treasury to guard
the Treasury Buildings when an in
vestigation by special committee
showed that guards in outlying build
ings were not performing their duties
as well as they should. Instances of
guards beings late or asleep on their
posts and drinking were cited. 1t was
found that on the guard force were
men with criminal records and others
not fitted physically or otherwise for
their work, F. J. Wilson, Chief OF the
Secret Service, explained.
Discipline Improved.
One Of the Secret Service men with
military experience was brought from
Spokane, Wash, to bring the guard
service up to . higher standard. He
has improved the morale and dis
cipline as we'll as training the force
in the use of firearms, Mr.. Wilson
said, explaining that they must be
prepared to shoot it out with high
waymen who might stop one OF our
money trucks on the street."
He pointed out that pay rolls are
sent out under these guards to the
Soldiers Home and other establish
ments. and that, with many employees
in the Bureau Of Engraving and Print
ing and in the Treasury, a guard must
be maintained against an inside theft
He disclosed that there were 800, 900
visitors and sight-seers last year at
the bureau, and that alert watchfulness
must be maintained by a well-trained
force to watch for criminal groups
that might be sent out to plan a rob-
berry.
Tighter Authority Asked.
Changes Of language in the Appro-
priation Act are asked to tighten up
the authority Of the Secret Service
and for proper conduct Of this new
uniformed guard force.
1t was pointed out that the new

This business reputedly Is cleared

established gambling house in Mary
land just over the District line.
Concerning Jimmy's reported opera
tions, an investigator of high rank in
the Metropolitan Police Department
said:
I'VE know Jimmy sends 80 to 40

nothing we can do under the present
law.
I'VE used to annoy these pickup
men all we could. We'd drive in

scared and step on the gas. Wed
grab them for speeding or other traf-

throw away whole books Of tickets.
But their. lawyers have advised
them to sit steady and not violate
