estimated today that Washington
has 500 drug addicts spending
between $4,000 and $4,000 daily
on narcotics.
Malachi L. Harvey, assistant to
the commissioner of the Treasury
Departments Narcotics Bureau,
testified before the House District
Subcommittee investigating crime
here. He said Washington addicts
are spending between $5 and $40
a day each to maintain their drug
habits.
He told the subcommittee that
most of them tend toward crime
because they can't afford that
kind of an expense.
Drug addicts become petty
thieves, store providers. pick

He said the inquiry indicates
that Mr.. Ambrose probably han

They had said the investors
losses would be about 100000.
Former Special Assistant.
Mr. Ambrose formerly was Mr..
Donaldson's special assistant in
charge of public relations at a
salary of $4,000 year. The re-
ported stamp speculation scheme
came to light when it was dis
closed that the Postmaster Gen
eral had asked Mr. Ambrose to
resign.
Mr.. Donaldson said he did so
because he had information his
assistant was an agent who
handled large amounts of cash for
persons investing" in commem-
orative stamps.
The Postmaster General dis

After Gambling Trial

Deputy Marshal Donald H. Fos-

absence after offering gambling
trial testimony harmful to the
Governments case, will be rein
stated in good standing Febru-

Mr.. Foster was ordered to take
the leave November %, shortly
after his testimony in the Will

1t was learned, however, that
Justice Department investigators

implication that he was linked
with gambling elements.
The leave" originally was to
have ended today. A To-day ex-

ary action for Mr.. Fosters de-

courts, one informant said. It

whether any or all of the leave"

There was no explanation from

finally reconciled the fact that Mr.
Fosters testimony was a direct
contradiction of that offered by
John H. Fihelly. first assistan;

Formosa Aid
Bi||Goes TO
White House
Senate Quickly Passes
Measure Approved
By House Yesterday
By Chris Mothisen

4Ae duIIllIllSGTdGlOn plan 1Or
economic assistance to Formosa
and continued aid to South Korea
was sent to the White House this
afternoon. The action came
through the Senate's concurrence
in yesterdays approval by the
House.
The Senate action came on a
voice vote. The House had ap-
proved the combined program by
a roll call vote of 24O to 1874.
The measure authorizes spend
ing an additional $60,000,O00 in
Korea during the next four and
a half months. the Economic Co.
operation Administration would
be permitted to help Formosa in
an economic way by using some
leftover China aid money.
Bill Passed Last Fall.
The Senate passed Korean aid
bill last fall. Three weeks ago,
the House refused to continue the
assistance by a one-vote margin.
Yesterday, however, the House re-
versed itself by approving the
Senate-passed bill, with the addi-
ton of the Formosa authorize
ton.
With administration leaders
urging speed. the Senate accepted
the House amendment today. This
eliminated the necessity of a SEN
ate-House conference to adjust
differences in the two versions.
President Truman is expected
to sign the measure promptly. in
asmuch as the present Korean aid
authorization expires Wednesday
To Be Spent by June 30.
The S6O,000,0OO for South Korea
would be spent by the ECA by
June 80 for capital improvements
and raw materials on the penin-
sula.
Pending appropriation of funds,
the Reconstruction Finance Corp.
would be authorized to advance
3O,OOO,o 900.
The economic aid for Pormosa,
the big island on which the
Chinese Nationalist government is
IN exile, would come from unspent
China assistance funds.
This money would be freed by
extending the February is spend
ing deadline to June 80.
Although an estimated S104,-
100000 remains unobligated, ad-
nninistration spokesmen have said
probably not more than s10,5oo.-
600 could be spent effectively on
Formosa in the month period.
No Funds for Arms.
Both Korean and Formosan aid
are for economic buildup only.
No spending for arms is author
iZed.
The House action yesterday
represented a reversal. insofar as
Korea was concerned. Three
weeks ago the members turned
down the proposal by one vote.
Formosa assistance was not in
cluded at that time.
Debate yesterday was brief. Op-
ponents continued to attack what
they called the State Department. S
lack of policy in the Far East.
During the discussion, Chair
man Kee of the Foreign Affairs
Committee placed in the record
State Department replies to gu ss-
tions raised by Representative
Lodge, Republican, of Connecticut.
The department said any long
term assistance to Formosa would
depend on whether the Chinese
Nationalists could show themselves
capable of defending the island
and restoring political and eco
'nomic stability.
Opposition to military help for
the Nationalists was reiterated.
The House was told this policy
was arrived at by President Tru-
man after consultation with top
military advisers.

tee, which has recommended
transfer of Central to colored stu
dents to relieve crowded condi-
tions at Cardozo High School.
The full board is expected to vots
on the proposal next Wednesday.
After hearing nearly so wit
nesses, the committee indicated
it will stand behind it's recon-
mendation when it reports to the
full board next Wednesday.
Mrs. Philip Sidney Smith, COM
mittee chairman, pointed out that
the committee already has ap-
proved the shift and said it Ia.
now up to the board to vote on
the committees report.
Firm Resistance Urged.
Mr., Leeman told today's hear
ing:
"It is the duty of the Board
of Education firmly and in
no uncertain terms to reject and
resist any attempt on the part
OF the individual congressman.
Senators or other Government
officials to interfere or attempt
to coerce the actions of the board
in the operation of our school
system"
He was referring to statements
made by Representative Bates.
chairman of the District Subcom-
mittee of the House Appropria-
tion Committee. and Chairman
Nicely of the Senate District Com
lnittee. Both earlier this week
urged that Central be transferred
to colored students.
Mr.. Leeman said the letter
which Mr.. Bates wrote to the
School Board will become famous
as a piece of evidence as to how,
if Federal aid to education is en-
acted, coercion will be practiced
in the control of our public school
system"
Urged to Delay Action.
The civic leader urged the board
to take no further action on the
proposed transfer until Congress
acts on the budget. He added:
ANY other course in view of the
attempt to coerce the Board of
Education will be a blow to free
dom of education, a yielding to
police state control of education
and a serious step toward the
destruction of our institution, the
little red schoolhouse."
The first to appear was Mrs.
Ernest w. Howard. president of
the Columbia Heights Citizens
Association. She opposed the
transfer, declaring that Central
belonged to the people who live
in that area. She told the board
members mot to worry" about
threatened legal suits by colored
groups.
Cardozo Inadequacies Cited.
Woolsey Hall, president of the
Federation of Civic Associations,
commended the committee for
recommending the transfer, and
added:
"The retention of Central High
School in its present status will
deprive hundreds of American
citizens of an equal education.
The clamor to save Central is
largely based on sentiment"
He reviewed the inadequacies
of the Cardozo plant and pointed
out that more than 1000 vacant
spaces in the white high schools
were available for the care of the
