TOKYO, May 29.-While United

the Communist forces, Army
medical officers behind the lines
are waging a relentless light
against drug addiction.
They say they are winning.
The medical authorities deny

has become a major problem
among troops in Japan and Korea.

Provost Marshal statistics show
drug violations far down the list
of violations for which soldiers
are arrested in Japan. For ex-
ample. between October l, 1850,
and March /. 1851, there were 173
cases involving possession of mar
cotics. This was 1.3 per cent of
the total of 1898 arrests of mill
tary personnel in that period.
Gen. Hume said admissions to
Army hospitals of drug addicts
were normal and about the same
as experienced in any civilian
hospital in the United States"
The fact that there is some
use of drugs by Allied soldiers
is not considered surprising.
Cut OFF u. N. Supplies.
The Far East has long been
for it's widespread use
of opium, heroin, cocaine and
other drugs. But Army criminal
investigation agents, working

police, say they have succeeded

channels to U. N. troops.

Cain Asks u. 5. Action|
To Prevent 40 Planes |
Going 10 Chinese Reds
BY the Assaeiaisd Press

Senator Cain, Republican, of
Washington. today urged the State
Department to take all possible
economic and diplomatic steps to
keep British officials from turning
over 40 transport planes to the
Chinese Communists.
A Hong Kong court has ruled
that the planes, formerly the
property of a civil air line headed
by an American, Maj. Gen. Claire
L. Chennault, belong to the Chi
nese Communist government.
In a letter to Secretary of State
Acheson, Senator Cain said:
"It appears obvious that the
tortured Interpretation of British
recognition of the Chinese Com
munists given in Hong Kong rep
resents a deliberate attempt to
appease the Chinese Reds"
He added that "such action by
the British authorities is in clear
violation of the letter and spirit
of the United Nations embargo
resolution How, the Senator
asked. "can a nation justify hand
ing 40 transport planes over to
our enemies at this time?"
A State Department spokesman
said that he understood the planes
could not be shipped to Com
munist China, regardless of the
outcome of pending legal action,
because of the embargo on ship
ment of war-useful materials to-
the Chinese Reds adopted re-
Gently by the United Nations.
He pointed out that Gen. Chen
nault's company has the right of
appeal to the Hong Kong Supreme
Court and, the appeal, the Gov
ernor of Hong Kong is required
to prevent removal of the planes
under a British government Or
der in council issued last year.

Society Of Natives Upho|ds
Vote 10 Quit Federation

After spirited debate and
many consultations of Roberts
Rules of Order, the Society of
Natives last night upheld action
taken at its April meeting to
withdraw from the Federation of
Citizens Associations.
Feeling that the scope of the
society was social and recrea-
tional, rather than political, the
membership voted 22-13 to reject
a ruling by the chair that would
have thrown out last months ac-
tlon on the ground it had not
been approved by a two-thirds
vote of the members present.
Jesse C. Suter lauded the
groups action, asserting it would
bring the society greater pres
tige than in former years, when
1t was submerged in the Fedora
ton and just another citizens
association"
Herbert P. Leeman, president
of the Federation and a member
of the Society, deplored the with
drawal as Injurious to the So
ciety and the city, coming just
at a time when the Federation
is beginning to make its influence
felt"
Mr.. Leeman's position in the
Federation will not be affected
by the withdrawal, since he is a
member of several other associa-
tions.

Mayflower Hotel, reelected it's
entire slate of officers. They in

$2oo,ooo Asked ;or Damage Done Gold Storage Material

A S200,000 damage suit was filed in U. s. District Court yesterday.
 This amount is asked by John Hendrickson from s. E. Thorpe and concerns the dismantling of a cold storage building at Excur- sion Inlet. Hendrickson is repre- sented by the law firm of Mc- Cutcheon and Nesbett in Anch- orage.
 Plaintiff Hendrickson states that a contract had been signed by himself and Thorpe in which Thorpe was to dismantle the cold storage and that he has paid ST GOO for the work. Thorpe, &C., cording to the contract, was to pile and stack the material from the plant so it could be moved and the building re-assembled in some other place not mentioned in the contract.
 The plaintiff alleges that Thorpe did not carry out his part of the contract, but that he tore the building down in an "unworkman- likeo manner so that the ceiling insulation was destroyed. He con- tends it would cost $200,000 to move and re-assemble the build- ing, stated to have been 90 by 24O feet long and IA feet high.
