Subcommittee Hears
Opposing Views on
Home Rule Today

More than a dozen witnesses
were to testify for and against
home rule today before the Judic-
ary subcommittee of the House
District Committee.
The principal subject of the
hearing was to be the Senate
passed bill for an elected city
council and an elected school
board, but a number of other local
suffrage bills are pending before
the subcommittee.
Substitute introduced.
A revised substitute. for instance,
was introduced jointly late yester-
day by Representative Harris.
Democrat, of Arkansas, head of
the Judiciary subcommittee, and
Representative Auchincloss. Re-
publican. Of New Jersey.
This would provide only for an
elected, non-voting District dele
gate in the House and for the ap-
pointment of Board of Election
to set up the necessary election
machinery.
Tones Down Bill.
Mr.. Auchincloss was the author
OF an earlier, more inclusive suf-
fersge bill, which failed of action
in the 80th Congress. He indicated
he is sponsoring the lesser bill
now. because he thinks it is the
best that could be passed at this
time.
"At least it would set up an elec-
ton machinery in the District"
he said.
Mr.. Harris has been opposed to
a full-scale election of the city
government here, but in the past
two years he has suggested the
election of a delegate and the
school board.

BALTIMORE, Mar. 13.-Ex-
Communist Paul Crouch yester-
day testified that a top-secret cell
was formed in Alameda County,
Calf. as early as 1912 to steal
American atomic secrets.
The former top party Official
made the declaration in Federal
Court when he broke away from

plead for public recognition of the
danger" American cities face
from IAN enemy that is out to
dominate the ends of the earth -

Cell Outside His Authority.
Crouch said the cell, though la
his Jurisdiction. was placed oute
side the scope of his authority and
it's membership was unknown to
him. /
Earlier he had testified that he
broke with the Reds in 1912 be-
cause he couldn't engage in
Espionage against my Govern
ment."
His testimony came in the trial
of six defendants charged with

that Russia is furnishing the bull

Defense counsel offered no OBJ
Ijections as the witness spoke.
Attorney Carl Bassett, however,
referred caustically to the witness
as colonel"

the information that he had been
made a colonel in the Russian
Army in 1927. He testified that
he was a peace time private in the

Hope for Young Addicts

It would be gratifying II the decline in NUM-
ber of patients at the Federal hospital for
narcotic addicts in Lexington, Kentucky, could
be attributed to decline in drug addiction
generally But while there undoubtedly has been
a decrease In addiction in some cities (notably
Baltimore), Federal authorities know that ped
ding Is still big time racket in many areas
just as it has been in the District since Mary
lands breakdown on dope sellers. Washington
became q haven for heroin and marijuana
peddlers after Maryland courts began to impose
heavier sentences under authority Of new State
laws.
Narcotics Commissioner Anslinger believes
that there are young drug victims In Washington
and vicinity who could be cured at Lexington.
He points out that such addicts do not have to
await court order to take advantage Of the
treatment afforded by the United States Public
Health Service at the Kentucky hospital. Parents
or relatives who desire to have youthful addicts
treated should get in touch with PHS authorities.
year ago there was q waiting list for
admittance to the institution. Today there are
about $50 vacant beds. Federal officials would
prefer to have these beds occupied by the younger
sufferers from the drug habit rather than
confirmed addicts. II the treatment Is taken
In time, cure Is feasible. Here Is wonderful
opportunity for teen-ags addicts to save them
selves from the grip Of body d-soul-
destroying evil, before It Il too late.

exceptional interest to men Of good win

and death they visited upon 6 million

statement DR.. Adenauer declared:
"The Federal Government Is prepared,
jointly with representatives Of Jewry
and the state Of Israel, which has ad-
mitted so many homeless Jewish refu-
gees. to bring about solution Of the
material reparation problem in order to
facilitate the way to q spiritual purging
Of unheard-of suffering"
Many Germans claim that Germany's
contribution to West Europe's defense
will make it impossible to fuldll any
exaggerated Jewish demands" and that
Germany has its own social problems

ple-which must be taken care Of.
Other Germans say that the public
wrong done the Jews. the, destruction of
more than one-third Of the Jewish peo-
pie. justifles abundantly the priority of
Jewish claims.
There can be no doubt that an IN
