that would be more conducive
to checking the drug traffic" he
said of the Roberts sentence.
When Mr.. Fischbach asked him
to comment on. other sentences,
Mr.. Harvey said the narcotics
agents feel that when a man en-
cages in. the commercial drug
traffic, he ought to know before
he makes his first sale that he
faces at least two years in the
penitentiary. The same man, he
added, ought to know if he is
caught again he should serve five
years.
Repeaters Cited.
Emphasizing the tremendous
amount of repeaters," he cited the
case of Lamar Brown. A mar
cotics convict, Brown was given a
conditional release from prison on
October 4, 1949. Mr.. Harvey SAID
that when police and Treasury
agents raided the home of Odessa
Madra here on October 18 Brown
was living there and apparently
waiting to take over her business
when she went to jail. At that
time the Madre woman was await
ing trial on narcotics charges her
self.
Browns conditional release was
revoked, Mr.. Harvey went on, and
when he was arrested on January
II the agent found heroin on the
premises. .-. >,
Counsel Cites 1916 Case.
In going back to 1916 to discuss
court handling of narcotics cases,
Mr.. Fischbach cited the cases of
two men indicted in the spring
and not brought to trial for eight
months. When the case was
finally called, Mr.. Fischbach told
the committee, the chief Govern
ment witness could not be located.
The defendants waived a jury
trial and the court found both of
them not guilty without hearing
any evidence, he said.
He cited another case where one
Frank Parker came into court in
January, 1947, on narcotics
charge with nine convictions for
other violations behind him. Mr..
Fischbach said his sentence was
four months to a year and a day
in the Narcotics Cure Center at
Lexington, KY.
In another case, in which Mr..
Fischbach did not specify the
date. a man with a background of
10 narcotics convictions was ar
rested with a collection of forged
narcotics prescriptions on him
and sentenced to eight months to
two years.
Memorandum Read.
At that point Mr.. Fischback
read into the record the memo
randum which he said came from
the official files of the Treasury
Department.
The memorandum said the
Federal Bureau of Narcotics had
experienced delays in the pros
ecution of narcotics cases here
and had been put to considerable
expense to bring out-of-town
agents here to testify on much
postponed cases.
Mr.. Harvey had testified that

D. {. Home Rule Issue
Flares Into Open After
Van ArkeI Speech

Conflicting feelings. on District
home rule and national represent
alton fared into the open after a
luncheon speech yesterday by
Gerhard Van Arkel. counsel for
the Senate District Committee.
Mr.. Van Arkel spent IL minutes
telling members of the, Junior
Chamber of Commerce in strong
words of what he considers false
fears in connection with getting
home rule before national repre-
sentation. Ae
Paul Matthews, Jaycee presi-
dent, sat quietly at the speakers
table in the Burlington Hotel
while Mr.. Van Arkel spoke. But
when Mr.. Van Arkel finished, Mr.,
Matthews, his face flushed. pre-
sented a three minute rebuttal
speech. 1t was not scheduled on
the program.
Mr.. Matthews explained that a
recent poll of the Jaycee member
ship showed that a majority
thought national representation
should be obtained before home
rule. He said later he thought
some of Mr.. Van Arkel's remarks
might have been directed at his
group.
Objections Outlined.
Mr.. Van Arkel said in his speech
business will suffer materially"
unless home rule is adopted. The
city's problems are becoming 80
desperate that they can only be
met by an effective. elected city
council" he stated.
The Senate counsel outlined
what he said are the two maid
objections to home rule. The first
that national representation
should come before home rule
he described as "phony." The
other is that Negroes may take
over" Washington. utterly ab-
surd." said Mr.. Van Arkel.

will they go to the archives and
the Board of Education?"
Clifford H. Newell. president of
the Arkansas Avenue Community
Association, told the board men,
bers that there was "clamor" for
a Junior college in Washington.
He recommended that Central
eventually be used for that pur-
pose.
Mrs. Michael Troiano of the
Central PTA described "the men-
tai strain" placed on the students
over the future of Central. She
opposed the transfer saying the
present students would be similar
to displaced persons" if they are
shunted to other schools.
Park View Plan Criticized.
William B. West of the Pleasant
Plains Civic Association favored
the transfer and said proposal
by School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing to use a wing Of Park View
Elementary School for 500 Car
doza girls would only harm the
education of the girls.
John H. Connaughton of the
Petworth Citizens Association
lashed out at what he called the
"unco-operative" attitude of COL
ored residents in the solution of
school problems of race relations.
They see but one solution and
that is their solution" he declared.
Mr.. Connaughton opposed the
transfer of Central and said that
the present dilemma in school
facilities is because of the pay
as-you-go program" of financing
District affairs.
Points to Recreation Facilities.
James Reilly, president of the
Central Graduate "C'' Club, in op-
posing the transfer, discussed the
wide use of the Central stadium
and other facilities by the COM
munity for recreation. He pointed
out that only two blocks east of
Central stadium was the Ban
neker Recreation Center for COL
ored citizens which also has a
f1oedlighted playing field.
Among those urging the transfer
were Joe Clorety of the American
Veterans Committee, the Rev. j.
F. Whitfield, president of the
INSTRUMENTATION Ministers Alli-
ance; Mrs. Edith B. Portal, pres
ident of the, Central Northeast
Civic Association; Robert L. Pol
lard of the Bloomingdale Civic
Association, Gardner L. Bishop
representing the District branch
of the National Association for

People. 52t'- z.
Miss Sylvia Bernstein. a gradu-
ate of Central, read a statement
signed by herself and 20 other
Central alumni urging the trans

 rfor someone to go around and ask donations from the merchants to support the Fourth of July pro- gram but this year the committee decided upon a queen contest in order to spread the expense burden among all residents rather than just the mechants. No mechant has been approached by any representa- tive of the Chamber to donate a cent and the merchants sole SUD- port stems from his own judgment in regards to the purchase of queen tickets.
 In spite of all this, there are those whose criticize the actions of the Chambers 4th of July Commit tee even though they, themselves, refuse to attend chamber meetings and take part in the work involved.
 As to the issue under discussion, permit me to say the committee wanted to have the races on the school grounds because of the chop ped-up condition of Front Street. It was felt there is too much chance of bad falls, especially in such events as the '.three-legged" race, in which youngsters could sustain cement burns, bruises, etc The fact that this has not hap Ipened recently is certainly no sign it could not happen.
 Furthermore, aside from the "'Sks mentioned above, I personally cannot see why a main street should be used as a playground when there is a school ground han dy. If we are to Use Front St. as a playground (which apparently it is now) we should plant it to grass and let it be a playground This would greatly enhance the beauty of the town, would be at tractiye to tourists and would be more in keeping with Wrangell's progress.
 Allow me to say in closing, that nowhere in the world, I daresay, except Wrangell, Alaska, will you find otherwise normal and intelli- gen grownups making such a fuss and bother over whether to hold kids Fourth of July races on 2 school ground or a chopped-up. concrete thoroughfare.

While the civilian defense pro- gram has been going forward in the states for more than a year, little has been done in Alaska thusI lar since it was abandoned after the last war. This week, spurred by the Korean situation, Alaska mili- tary high command and civilian leaders were in session in Anchor age laying the groundwork for ade- quate Alaska civilian defense ia the event of disaster or attack Gen. Nathan Twining, head of the Alaska Command, headed the mili- tary while Gov. Ernest Gruening headed up the civil group. Out of the huddle was expected to come a program which would extend to every town and community in the Territory. It was probable that Col. Joseph Alexander, acting adjutant general of the Alaska National Guard, would be named to direc. the activity.

Teen Etiquette: Party Crashing Franks

When you or your friends give

visitors play worse pranks than
the Halloween tricks you outgrew
long ago?
Party-crashing can be q real
problem If 1t upsets the plans and

too. If their fun is spoiled by an
uncongenial group or If they are

ure for most, especially the young
hostess or host.
For many adults and young
people. 1t is hard to understand
why any one feels that free to
impose on home hospitality. Ac-
cording to traditional etiquette,
there is no excuse for going to any
party without an invitation. To
be asked yourself does not author
lie you to pass on bids without
permission. To drop In and stay
on, after 1t is clear that you are
not welcome. is never correct
socially.
If party-crashing is not the
thing in your crowd or community,
or if those who might want to
come, unwanted. can be discour-
aged lightly. politely, that is to
your social advantage. Party
crashing can become such a burn
ing question that often 1t is dis

who do resent it and ask your
teen etiquette editor how to deal
with 1t.
