Morris Handel, Sc, was happy
this morning as he hustled about
his small grocery at 901 First
street S.W. getting everything in
order for the days first customers.
Then, at 7 am, a colored man
entered with a gun, slapped him
across the eyes with the fiat of his
hand and forced him to hand over
I$144 from his pocket.
Mr.. Kandel's little world COL
Ilapsed around him.
That slap brought back men,
ories of 10 years as a displaced
Iperson-memories of mass slaugh-
ter, torture, hunger, unending
flight and constant fear.
He was so shaken when police
arrived that his smattering of
English deserted him. A cousin
and his 12-year-old son, Nanny
acted as his interpreters.
Through them bits of MIR. Kan

Two battalions of anti-aircraft

general, announced today.
The units are the 260th Gun

Both of the organizations are

District Bar Opposes
Drastic Sections Of
Bill 10 Curb Crime
Bon on Bottle Clubs
And Sex Pervert Bond
Plans Called Too Brood

The District Bar Association S
Board of Directors today reported
its approval of some sections of
the Davis crime-curb bill, but
Iobjected to others as too drastic
The bar group went along with
the District Commissioners in op-
posing an outright ban on after
hours clubs. Like the Commits
Isioners, the lawyers objected that
the Davis proposal to declare
lafter-hours clubs "nuisances"
would apply to respectable" pri-
vate clubs which also do not have
beverage licenses.
/ Representative Davis, Democrat
of Georgia, author of the 35-point
bill, said he received the report
today and will lay it before the
Crime Subcommittee heads some
time next week. He said he had
not yet had time to make a care
full examination of the report and
so was not ready to make any
comment on the merits of the
bar associations recommends
! tions.
Cooperation Welcomed.
1T is a fine thing that the
bar association has made careful
analysis of the measure and has
submitted its recommendations to
U.s." he said. The more CO.
operation We get from every one
concerned with law enforcement
the better it will be for the CITY,.
l In its comments on several Sec
tions of the proposed omnibus
measure, the bar association pro-
tested the innocent might suffer
along with the guilty.
For instance, the association
contended that proposal to make
it a crime to be a habitue of dive
is too broad and provides no pro-
lection for citizen who might be
found in such an establishment,
but whose purpose in being there
would not be in any way criminal
or as an attempt to violate the
law"
Would Protect Innocent,
AS for the proposal to double the
penalties for any one who tries to
forfeit collateral and escape going
to court in sex pervert case, the
association contended that in many
instances perfectly respectable
and law-abiding citizens may be-
come embroiled in situations OF
such matters by overzealous law
enforcement officers"
In such cases, the association
added, the proposed bill would
compel them to stand trial and
be subjected to the publicity and
humiliation that goes with it even

lie officials" the chairman of the
investigating subcommitte warned
in a speech on the Senate floor
1T is bad enough to have corrup-
ton in our midst, but it is worla
if it is to be condoned and ac-
icepted as inevitable"
His slashing attack bristled with
terms such as ''bribed and bribers, -
lawyers with "cleverness like the
instinct of the rat that knows how
to get the bait without getting
caught" and persons who, under
the guise of friendship, accept IA
vors which offend the spirit OF

No Specific Cases.
Senator Fulbright did not spe-
officially mention cases or persons
involved in the current inquiry
into influence and favoritism af.
fecting some RFC directors anc
loans. But his discussion of the
general moral problem" contained
many indirect references to testi-
mony.

recent suggestion that a specia
commission of private citizens be
designated to consider the prob.
lem of ethical standards of con.
duct in public affairs"
Senator Fulbright announced
that tomorrow he will introduce
a resolution for creation of a spe-
cial commission of the type he
suggested.
| One of the most deplorable
features of the subcommittee
revelations, he observed, was the
extent to which so many people
apparently measure the integrity
of public official by his ability tc
stay within the letter of the law
Scandals in our Government
are not new phenomenon in oul
history" he noted. What seems
to be new about these scandals is
the moral blindness or callousness
which allows those in responsible
positions to accept the practices
which the facts reveal"

across the Korean waist-they
could stop their pursuit of the
Chinese and Korean Communists,
possibly breaking fighting con-
tact as the Chinese themselves
have done more than once during
the Korean war. ..
The officials concede such a dis
Engagement would not succeed if
the Communists were determined
to go on fighting and if they took
advantage of the U. N. pause by
communicating.
Lull Would Permit Truce.
If this procedure were adopted,
the countries involved would in
struct their forces to stop fight
ing at positions which could be
held just north of the 38th Paral-
lei. The lull then could be used,
the officials reason, to negotiate
la formal truce which would set the
stage for an overall discussion of
the Far East problem. Red China
has demanded that such talks.

ticipating. be held.
A British Foreign Office spokes-
man refused to comment officially
on the reported plan. He told a
news conference that Britain and
other U. N. countries are consider
ing terms of some new public dec
laration of aims in Korea, prob
ably to reassure Red China that
the U. N. has no intention of at
tempting to reunite North and
South Korea by force.
The purpose of such declara-
ton would be, the diplomatic in
formants said, to test whether the

He told a news conference he
believed that labor had agreed tc
serve on a new labor-management

now is being set up in the Office
of Defense Mobilization.
The committee will be headed
by two co-chairmen-Dr. Arthur

representing the Labor Depart.
ment.
Report to Brighten" Russia.
Mr.. Wilson predicted today
that forthcoming quarterly re-
port on the mobilization program
would prove frightening to Russia
He did not mention Russia by
name, but in discussing the report
expected to be released Saturday
he said.
"If I were our principal enemy
II would be frightened by it,"
In another development on the
mobilization front, the Govern
ment today ordered aluminium
producers, fabricators, distribu-
tors and jobbers TO set aside in
creased amounts of aluminium
products for defense-rated orders
effective April /.
Announcing this action, the Ma
tional Production Authority said
lit was due to increasing military
requirements.
Labor Charges Recalled.
Labor recently withdrew its rep
Iresentative from all defense areas
One of the charges made was that
Mr.. Wilson had "seized" author

Labor Department. The new COM
Imittee is designed to satisfy labor
demands for representatives in the
establishment of defense man

Mr.. Wilson said the committee
would advise on manpower policy
but that it would not have veto
power over him. He added, how
ever, that he did not expect many

of American Foreign Ministers
over which he is presiding here.
The 81 American Republics are
inescapably part of the part
nerShip of the free world" in
which leach must do his full
share" to assemble sufficient
force to make it plain in advance
that further aggression will not
succeed" Mr.. Acheson asserted.
He delivered the keynote ad-
dress at the first regular meeting
of the Foreign Ministers confer
ence at the Pan American Union
following an inaugural session in
Constitution Hall yesterday after
noon when President Truman
warned that "the aggressive ex-
pansion of Soviet power threatens
the whole world"
Urges Co-ordinated Course.
Mr.. Truman said that to help
the great perils" all the Ameri-
cas- must strengthen and co-ordi-
nate the use of their armed forces
for defense of the Western hemis-
phere and to support the cause
of freedom" throughout the world
Like the President, Mr.. Acheson
today urged full backing by all the
American Republics of the United
Nations battle against aggression
in Korea and of efforts to thwart
the Soviet's attempt to engulf free
Europe.
The foreign ministers unani-
mously elected Mr.. Acheson pres
ident of the conference at the
start of today's session.
After his talk. Guatemalan For
eign Minister Manuel Galich asked
if there would be opportunity for
all the delegates to make general
statements like that of Mr.. Ache
son. Chilean Foreign Minister
Horacio Walker said he thought
this would take too much time
from the actual work of the meet
ing.
At the suggestion of Brazilian
Foreign Minister Joao Neves Da
Fontura, Mr.. Acheson ruled that
all the ministers would have op-
portunity to make any statements
they wished at the conference S
concluding plenary session.
La Prensa Case May Come Up.
One portion of Mr.. Acheson' S
speech today was interpreted as
a possible move to open the way
for discussion of Argentina S
closure of the newspaper La
Prensa, which has been assailed
in many other parts of the world
as violation of freedom of the
press. Argentine Foreign Minis
ter Hipolito Jesus Paz has served
notice he will not permit discus
sion of this issue at the confer
ence. But Mr.. Acheson said it is
important that we should consult
as to the practical steps we may
take, together and individually, to
insure the maximum strengthen
ing of our basic democratic in
stitutions.
He added that these institutions
are "the heart of what we are
seeking to defend against Com
munist undermining, and to safe
guard these institutions while we
prevent their abuse requires our
constant vigilance"
This freedom of ours is faced
with a mortal threat" Mr.. Ache.
son told his colleagues.
THE small gorup of men who
rule the Soviet Union and pull
the strings of the international
Communist movement" he added
have doctrine which is opposed
to freedom. Their doctrine is fol-
a Communist world, governed
from the Kremlin.

Mr.. Anslinger said it was "a
disturbing matter" that the Chi

opium for sale on the world mar
ket.
That is tremendous quantity,
and is equal to the medical needs
Of the world for year." he added.
Heroin Struggled to Japan.
Recently, we have uncovered
heroin traffic from a laboratory
in Tientsin. Large quantities have
been smuggled from there to
Japan and will be coming to the
United States"
The Chinese Communists, Mr.
Anslinger said, should suppress
this traffic"
MI. Anslinger said the recent
increase in drug addiction, against
which the bureau warned as early
as 1910, was not general through
out the country and was confined
largely to certain neighborhoods
OF the larger cities. The increase
can be demonstrated, he added, by
the fact that two years ago there
were three addicts under the age
of 81 receiving treatment at the
United States Public Health Serv-
ice Hospital at Lexington and al
the present time there are zoe
under q at the hospital.
Most of these are young hood
lums," Mr.. Anslinger explained
These young people associate
with criminals, become hoodlums
begin to smoke marijuana and
then graduate to heroin. They
have to spend from Sc to SIS a
day to maintain addiction, anc
they obtain this money through
criminal activities"
Emphasizing the activities o1

Mr.. Anslinger said that 200 mer
on a list of 800 names furnished

persons engaged in illegal narcot-
les traffic often have connections
with national and international
gangs.

tinued, land we intend to take

Owners Of La Prensa
Seek 10 Regain Contro|
BY the Asseeioted Press

BUENOS AIRES. April l7.-At-
torncys for the independent news
paper La Prensa sent a demand to
the Argentine Congress yesterday
that its properties be returned to
the owners.
The demand was based on the
fact that President Juan D. Peron
has not yet signed the expropria-
ton bill passed by Congress last
week and there Is no other legal
ground for the governments re-
tanning the properties.
A congressional investigating
committee seized control Of La
Prensa March 20 and named. an
administrator. The attorneys said
that in view of the fact that the
committee had completed its work
with a report recommending ex-
preparation. the committee no
longer exists and the appropriation
decree thus far has not been
issued
Therefore. the attorneys argued.
the administrator no longer has
legal control Of the properties.
Gen. Peron has until May Is to
sign the bill providing forced sale
of the newspaper to the govern
ment. but he may let it become a
law without his signature by not
acting before that date, according
to constitutional provisions.
