support OF resolution to request
President Truman to call a con-
ference of Western democracies tc
discuss such a union.
Mr.. Clayton said he agreed with
Secretary of State Acheson that
there is nothing to be gained from
negotiating with Russia under
present conditions, because the
democracies are not as united as
they should be. The witness was
referring to Mr.. Acheson's an
last week of policy
of working for peace by building
strength which Russia will have
to respect. rather than wasting
time looking for short cuts.
Smith Cites Stalin's Age.
Even if new conferences will
Moscow were held now and re
suited in an agreement, Mr.. Clay
ton said that would be "unfor
tunate for the democracies" be
cause the democracies would wan
to keep their agreement but coult
never be sure the other part,
would do so.
Senator Smith. Republican, o.
New Jersey. suggested thar
Premier Stain is getting along il
years and will not always be al
the head of the Russian govern
ment. The Senator said, there
may be something inherent ir
the Russian people" that would
make them want to change the
present unsettled world situation
If they had a chance.
MIR. Clayton argued that real
union of the Western world,
along the lines formed by the
colonists 100 years ago,
would possess such strength "that
no nation on earth would dare at
tack"
Suppose we could wake up to-
morrow morning and find this
union in effect?" asked Mr.. Clay
ton. You could then make an
agreement with Russia within six
and make 1t stick"
Raises Question of Cost.
The witness testified that an
union would dispel the
fear of war, reduce the military
burden and solve the dollar prob
lem which now slows down trade
between the democracies.
Senator Smith said if the At
lantic union resolution is to be
taken up in the Senate, its sup
porters would have to answer the
question of whether the United
States would have to bear the
COSt OF making IL WORK.
Mr.. Clayton replied that those
who raise that question start out
by assuming the status quo con-
tinuing in the. United States"
without such a union. He called
that false assumption, asserting
that this country cannot hold it's
present situation if existing world
condition continue.
The subcommittee also received
a statement from Senator Fer
guson, Republican, of Michigan,
IN support of another resolution
advocating steps to strength the
United Nations.

Laws Have Lost Effect.
The grand jury found:
l. Present gambling laws
have lost their effect because
of changed conditions. There
are not enough laws here to
deal with the interstate prob
lens of professional gambling.
2. The city needs a law per-
mitting confiscation of cars
used regularly to carry on the
numbers business here.
3. Because professional gam
blers operate behind such
fronts" as restaurants, liquor
stores and other businesses
which require District licenses,
a close scrutiny" of these
license applications could curb
their illegal use.
4. Possession of large sums of
money by professional gamblers
"gives them the means whereby
they constantly seek to carry on
their illegal activities with a
minimum of interference.
End of 18 Months Work.
The grand jury had spent 1s
months investigating what was
reputed to be a 500 million-a-
year gambling racket here. After
indicting SO men, the special
grand jury wound up its work
last November with the secret
report.
The % grand jurors, whose
foreman was F. Jacob Halstead,
a broker, said the report repre-
sented its unanimous opinion that
professional gambling here is a
large. lucrative and we'll organ
ized business" which recently has
become interstate in nature and
difficult to control"
While declaring it is impossible
to estimate accurately the size OF
the gambling business here, the
report said it believed that book
makers handle up to three times
the volume of money bet at race
tracks.
Evidence showed that more than
IS million numbers slips are passed
each year in the furtherance OF
this lucrative and well-organized
business" the report noted.
Breeds Other Grimes.
Professional gambling, more
over, is a breeding ground for
other crimes, especially crimes OF
violence which stem from gam
blers' efforts to maintain suprem-
acy in the profession, The more
profitable gambling becomes "the

Government protocol, but joint
House-Senate fiscal subcommittee
on the District already has been
advised of the problem.
A detailed account of the ex-
cessive demands now facing the
Districts water supply system was
presented at the recent executive
hearings by the Bates Subcommit-
tee of the House Appropriations
Committee, handling the 1851
city budget.
Commenting on this tea <imony,
published today, Engineer Com
missioner Gordon r. Young said:
I'VE are now in a situation like
that facing New York City three
or four years ago. They didn't
move fast enough. We don't want
to be caught in a situation of that
sort. 1t could be very serious
here"
Big Increase Needed.
Most witnesses before the sub
committee said the District could
not solve its problem of grow
ing shortage of water supply on
a pay-as-you-go basis.
Representative Bates. Demo-
crat, of Kentucky. head of the
House funds unit, asked if
slight increase in water charges
would take care of the financial
problem. Gen: Young said it
would not, that the rates would
have to be raised 10 to 80 per
cent.
Other testimony brought out
that water charges were increased
by Is per cent two years ago to
strengthen the position of the
water services but that this alone
would not meet new permanent
Improvement needs.

the Washington Aqueduct, the

Admiral Byrds Old Dog igIoo 'Reincornoted'

A stray dog that looks like the
much-publicized Igloo of 26 years
ago has come into the life of Rear
Admiral Richard E. Byrd, famed
Polar explorer.
While the admiral is no believer
in reincarnation, the mutt has him
wondering if he isn't a second
Igloo.
Igloo, he recalled today, was a
dog picked up on a Washington
street just 26 years ago this
month and sent to the admiral.
The explorer took him to the
North Pole that year and the
South Pole two years later.
Igloo even had books written
about him.
On Wednesday night while
Admiral Byrd was walking near
Sixteenth and I streets NV, a
white dog just little larger than
a fox terrier took up with the
admiral.
HE wouldn't 60 home, so I
took him to my hotel" Admiral
Byrd explained today. Perhaps
because the mutt looks so much
like Igloo. the explorer bought
him a collar and leash.
Admiral Byrd said he was
anxious to locate the owner and
return the dog, which he said
appeared well fed and gentle. His
