Youthful Drug Addicts
Tell How Money Need
Led Them Into Crime
Senators Open Hearing
With Doctors PIeu for
Educational Program
By Miriom Ottenberq

Two youthful dope addicts to-
day told Senate crime probers
how they quit school and eventual
ly turned to crime to get the
money to buy heroin.
Their stories were carried to the
country over television networks,
but the witnesses had their choice
of refusing to have their faces
shown.
The stories, told quietly and al
times in monosyllables, came after
the Senate Crime Investigating
Committee heard a plea for ar
educational program in the high
schools to warn teen-agers of what
lies ahead for them when they
turn to narcotics.
One of the self confessed ad-
diets admitted stealing from his
own home to get the money he
needed for dope.
The other youth told of drop
ping out of the University of Illi-
nois after three months because
he wanted to spend his money on
heroin instead of books.
Situation Like Epidemic.
From all the witnesses at the
opening public session on narcotics
the committee got the picture of
an epidemic with addicts spread
ing the contagion to young people.
DR.. Victor H. Vogel, medical
officer in charge of the Public
Health Service Hospital at Lex
ington, KY, was the leadoff wit
ness who called for a sensible,
non-sensational education pro-
gram" in the high schools.
He said the boys and girls who
have become his patients at Lex
ington told him that almost in
variably they started with mari
juana and turned from that to
heroin. He said they told him they
had no idea that they couldn't
stop heroin once they started. nor
that they would get desperately Ill
if they did try to stop.
Had they known, he said the
young patients had told him, they
would never have started.
Is Addicts From Washington.
At Lexington and another Fed
eral hospital where narcotics are
treated, DR.. Vogel reported, the
number of youthful addicts has
jumped from % to 1947 to 440 in
1850. OF the patients under 81
being treated at these hospitals
on June Z. he reported, 81 came
from New York, "a from, Chicago,
is from Washington and 80 from

Koreu Settlement
Won't Cut Need
For Aid, He Says
By Robert X. Welsh

secretary OF state AcneSOn
warned Congress today of pos
sible disaster" in Iran and cited
this as one reason for approving
a requested $8.5 billion for foreign
military and economic laid, even
if the fighting stops in Korea.
He told the House Foreign At
fairs Committee, however, that he
had no information or assurances
that a Korean cease-fire was i'm
minent or probable.
Jacob A. Malik, Soviet Russian
delegate to the United Nations.
proposed last Saturday that the
fighting cease in Korea and both
sides withdraw from the 38th
Parallel. When asked by COM
mittee members today whether
this was a sincere suggestion or
merely camouf1age for what is
going on in IRAN" Secretary Ache
son replied:
I'VE are doing our best to obtain
clarification of what he meant.
But even If we should have an
honorable peace in Korea this
program of foreign assistance
would not be minimized."
Oil Dispute Only One Factor.
In response to questions by
Representative Bolton, Republi-
can, of Ohio, concerning the
Iranian crisis, the Secretary of
State described that situation as
immensely important to the free
world"
THE controversy over opera
ton of the oil industry is one of
the reasons-but not the only one
why the situation in Iran is so
dangerous" he declared. Il re-
gret to say that every indication
seems to be moving directly on
the road toward disaster"
Secretary Acheson was the first
witness as the House committee
opened hearings on the adminis-
tration's request for an additional
$6.3 billion for military aid and
$2.2 billion for economic aid DUR
ing the coming fiscal year for
friendly foreign nations.
In a prepared statement he de-
clared that Soviet expansion by
"eneroachment" has got to be
stopped The further assistance
is essential to the security of the
United States and the most effec-
tive way of encouraging strong
and reliable friends and allies"
During the questioning Mr..
Acheson said that withdrawal of
Communist forces behind the 38th
Parallel in Korea could be con-
sidered a successful conclusion of
the conflict
The United States military aim
In Korea, he said. is to 'repel
aggression and restore peace and
security to the area. If this ag-
gression is stopped. and with
guarantees that it will be resumed,
then you will have repelled aggres-
sion and restored peace and Sc
curity in the area"
Need for Aid Not Reduced.
When the questioning began
several members Immediately
asked him whether a possible
settlement of the Korean situation
would lessen the need for the
foreign aid program.
mo, I am convinced it would
not lessen the need" Mr.. Acheson
answered.
1T is true that it would enable
the whole world to draw back
from very close to the edge of the
precipice. But the fundamental
danger would not be necessarily
removed.
1t would be a mistake to regard
Mr.. Malik's speech necessarily asI
a shift in the Russian position,
especially shift from a policy of
external aggression to one of in
ternal revolution in individual
areas. 1t may or may not be.
We do not know"

Picking Jobs
Available.

A plea for all available workers
to assist in harvesting Maricopa
County's record cotton crop was
voiced today by John r. Foley,
managed of the Phoenix Farm Of
flee of the Arizona State Employ
ment Service. Orders have been
placed with the job service office
for more than $500 cotton pickers
and the demand is increasing daily
as more cotton fields become ready
for picking.
Unless out-of-state migratory
workers arrive in the area in un-
usually large numbers within the
next three weeks, serious crop
damage due to loss in grade OF
cotton may result, Foley added.
Mechanical pickers are only har-
vesting an estimated 10 per cent
of the crop.
Local residents as well as civic,
church and governmental organi-
cations are being urged to cooper
ate in solving this labor short
age by referring all interested per-
sons to the Arizona State Employ
ment Service Office, located at 224
West Jefferson Street. Wages cur
rently paid for picking are 1925
cWt. for short staple cotton, and
$3.50 swt. for long staple cotton.
At these rates the average worker
is able to earn from $500 to $1,000
per day

openings and can place immedi-

Housing is available on most farms
