Harry j. Anslinger, Federal mar

Harry j. Anslinger. Federal mar
cotics commissioner. said last
night that if District police were
allowed to arrest drug addicts on
Idisorderly conduct charges much
of the local narcotic traffic would
disappear.
Take the addicts off the
Streets" Mr.. Anslinger asserted,

The commissioner, who spoke
at a meeting Of the Connecticut
Avenue Citizens Association. also
declared that penalties under the
Uniform Narcotic Drug Act have
been watered down in the District.

clare voluntary methods for

handle this matter" he said.
Even though the percentage of
permanent scures is low, Mr..
Ahslinger added. 1t is better to
keep picking up the repeaters
than to have then on the streets.
The association passed a reso-
luton supporting a proposal for
tighter narcotics control here
along the lines urged by Mr..
Anslinger.

on record in defense of Traffic

dismissal had been asked by the
Anacostia Citizens Association

sioners to request Mr.. Keneipp's
resignation because of his failure
to have a traffic signal placed at
a corner where a 7-year-old boy
was killed by a hit-and-run driver.
BY vote of 10 to 7, the associa-
ton passed a resolution asking
Commissioner F. Joseph Donohue

publican administration takes over.

Subjects to Be Discussed.
Senator Taft said he and Mr.
Martin would ask Gen. Eisenhower
to say what part of the legislative
program he wished taken up first
He mentioned a number Of SUBJ
jects.
First, he said, was the budget
and any proposed amendments
to the Budget Act. He also men
toned the Reorganization Act
which expires April l and which
may need to be extended to give
Gen. Eisenhower fuller opportu-
nifty to suggest any changes in
the executive branch. Taft-Hart.
ley labor law amendments, he said
also would be discussed. Senator
Taft said he had already been
working on amendments along the
lines of those he proposed in 194s
and which the Senate adopted.
Senator Taft said he knew of no
plans for drastic amendment and
said he believed the law should
be given an opportunity to work
under an administration which
wanted to see it work, before any
amendment calling for restrictions
on Nationwide bargaining or for
dealing with Nationwide strikes
were proposed.
IT would prefer not to see any
drastic amendment dealing with
Strikes" Senator Taft said. He
added that if an emergency due to
Ia Nationwide strike arose, he be-
IlieVed Congress could enact an
emergency law applicable to that
strike only. He said Congress
could always, be summoned in spe-
cial session quickly now.
Controls Will Come Up.
One Of the first questions to
come up. Senator Taft said, would
be price. wage and ALLEGATION con-
trolls. He said the law dealing with
these controls expires June 80.
There is a question whether
they should be ended right away"
he said. He added: Perhaps
President Truman will end them
before he goes out"
Senator Taft said the question
OF foreign aid probably would be
taken up also.
Asked if favored a re-examina-
ton of the Nations foreign policy,
Senator Taft said:
II assume that the new Secre-
tary of State will propose changes
in the foreign policy" He indi-
Gated that is where the re-exam-
ination should start.
Senator Taft again expressed a
hope that it would be possible to
reduce the Federal budget to $50
billion for the fiscal year 1854, and
to SIS billion for the fiscal year
1855. If this is done. he said, it
should be possible to have a tax
reduction in 1854.
The Senator said he expected
the Republicans to organize the
Senate ION time" when Congress
opens, no matter how Senator
Morse of Oregon, now on "inde-
pendent Republican," may vote.

AS explained by Horton. The arrange

The amendment would not lift the Ian
