HospitoIize the Dope Addicts

The man who led New Jerseys
work for stronger laws to curb the
drug traffic today called compul-
sorry treatment of dope addicts in
a "drug-free atmosphere" a vital
part of any successful war against
narcotics
He is Assemblyman William F.
Tompkins. who headed a joint
committee in the New Jersey Leg
islature to investigate all angles of
the narcotics problem in his State
After f1ve-month investigation,
his committee recommended 20
new laws and got 19 of them
passed.
The Goth law provided a treat
ment center for addicts in a for
mer CCC camp. The proposed law
was vetoed by Gov. Driscoll for
lack of funds, but Mr.. Tompkins
expressed confidence it would be
approved in the coming session.
Here to confer with Commits
Isioner Harry j. Anslinger of the
Federal Bureau of Narcotics, Mr..
Tompkins took time out to re-
view the New Jersey laws with
Assistant United States Attorney
Arthur D. Schaffer, who has been
assigned by United States Attor-
ney Charles M. Irelan to draft

dope addicts.
Unlawful to Be Addict.
New Jersey controls dope ad-
Idiction by making it against the
law to be an addict. In New Jer-
sey they are arrested as "disor-

jail. The sentencing magistrate

nor Theodore r. McKeldin of
Maryland left last week for a
two-week visit to Israel, where he
plans to study that nations use
of American economic aid be-
cause Israel is vital factor in
implementing our national policy
of Strengthening the forces of
democracy"
1T is my belief" he said in a
statement issued on his depart
ure, that American aid to Israel,
in the businesslike fashion repre-
scented by the Israel bond issue, is
thoroughly consistent with the
tenor of our entire foreign assist
ance program. Israel is young
and promising democracy, and
although it needs our help today,
1 know that America will ulti-
mately be richly recompensed. I
regard continued economic aid to
Israel as a vital factor in nipple
menting our national policy of
strengthening the forces of de-
mocracy wherever they exist. Our
investment in Israel is particu-
larly sound because it is democ-
racy's foremost advocate in the

the capitalization Of the group is

company is prepared to spend as
much as two years in prospecting,
and to drill wells as deep as 10000
feet if necessary. It expects to
drill for oil in the Negev and in
the Galilee hills.
While Israeli government Off
Gals are cautiously optimistic, the
American Association of Petro-

out that odds of finding oil in

of how lack of motor manners can
be deadly
"In 1950-the last year for which
we have complete figures-8,700
pedestrians were killed in traffic.
About half of these people were
using the street or highway un-
safely. They were, in other words,
being discourteous or disregarding
others rights in their use of the
roadway Add to this figure the
number of discouyteous drivers al
so on the highway at the same time
and there is nothing surprising in
the death toll"
Mr.. Ashton cited National Safety
Council figures showing that i'll

or bOth-was violating a traffic law
or a safe practice. In any event, ac-
cOrding to the Council, bad motor
manners are involved.
Motor courtesy is easily acquir-
ed, Mr.. Ashton said. "but it can be
put into practice only with the ex-
ercise of constant attention. The
courteous driver is the one who
says, I'm going to save a life to-
day. by watching my manners be-

Blast Arms Program
AS Having Failed
BY Assoeiated Press

A Senate watchdog" committee,
sharply critical of the nations lin

Wednesday night of this week it
has produced "a small number Of
guns and a great amount of butter,
with a considerable number of

Chairman Lyndon Johnson d.

agencies, asserting the slogan

civilian economy" 1t declared:
"ThOse responsible for the ma
tiOn's current rearmament program
lack the sense of urgency that has
previously gOaded Americans into
t h cir tremendous preparedness
achievements"
The committee said it was
deeply disturbed over the lack of
perspective as to the great danger
that cOnfrOnts the nation"
Summarizing its work since the
group was formed soon after start
of the Korean war, il expressed
deep concern" over production of
munitions. 1t wrote:

Motor Manners Can
Save A Life Readily

Your fmOtOr manners" can save
a life.
That statement was made today
by J. James Ashton, in explanation
Of the Delaware Safety Councils
March program of traffic safety ed
ucation.
"a traffic accident" Mr.. Ashton
said, ''is pretty generally a result
of negative actiOn-Of NOT heed
ing the law, of NOT driving defen-
siVely, of NOT adhering to simple
good manners. There is no way of
estimating how many lives might
be saved every year by the exercise
of little consideration, tolerance
and patience, but the number pro-
badly would be staggering"
This months program of cOur-
tesy and defensive driving is being
conducted by the Delaware Safety
Council in cooperation with the
National Safety Council and cOOr-
dinated in Delaware.
Mr.. Ashton said that many Of the
annual traffic accidents involving
pedestrians are perfect examples

vital need for efficiency and econ
Omy," the report said.
ct is not an easy task to change
the deeply ingrained attitudes of
military men who, for centuries,
have operated on the theory that
cost is not a compelling considera-
tion. Nevertheless, the committee
has achieved substantial results
and will continue to press its anti
waste campaign. Unless the fat can
be cut away from our military
muscle, the nation may some day
face the choice of reducing its de-
Tense program regardless of need
or going bankrupt.
Americans must realize that in
total conflict, the margin of waste
could easily be the margin between
defeat and victory"
The committee said it had taken
a careful look at the overall status
of the mobilization program and
that what it saw was "dismaying. "
1t said:
Deliveries on defense hard goods
planes, tanks, ammunition, and
guns-had fallen dangerously be-
hind schedule; so much so that the
chances of reaching the minimum
preparedness targets within the
time set by our military planners
seemed remote.
Through the maze of factors
contributing to such delays one
basic cause stood out. This was the
failure of our responsible officials
to make immediate defense hard
goods production the top claimant
upon our industrial capacity"
1t reemphasized a statement
made in a previous report, that
production schedules should be
"geared to the needs instead of be.
ing revised downward in the face
of inability to produce"

for attainment of a 143-wing

cricket from the visit Of this
team will get a fresh stimulus
so that at least we may be able
once more to have a team able
enough for a visit to the

It is a little over twenty
years now since ST. Croix last
sent a team on tour to st. kits
and ! am glad to remember
that while we did not win
how well we acquitted our
selves and gave the Champion
LeeWard Islands team the

name of which is taken as a

speaking world. It is splen-
did too to reflect that this has
also been accepted even IN
foreign countries where the.
game is being taught. For to
be taught to play cricket
means to be modest ia Vic

to work and play for your

which all Of us hope Will per

And then there IS the great
charm Of the game which has
even engaged the attention Of the
poets and by none Of them in
more touching terms than BY the
author Of these lines:
ITO set the cause above renown,
To love the game. beyond the
prize,
To honour as you strike him down
The foe. who comes with shining
eyes.
To count the life Of battle good,
And dear the land that gave
you birth
And deared yet, the brotherhood
That binds the brave IF all the
earth"
This is the real spirit of the
game, and SO long as that spirit
inspires / he players Of today,
whatever the result of these
matches may be, we will all re-
joice to welcome this team of Vir-
gin islanders from New York.
And one word more to those Of
you who may be fortunate to gain
selection for the matches, / hope
at the end of the days play what
ever be the result, whether you
win or you lose all Of you may
experience the real thrill Of the
game and the feelings Of the true
cricketer, the Joy Of all true
cricketers and which has been pre-
served for us in the old cricket
ballad which doubtless many Of
you win remember.
And now the heat of the day is
done, and the sun is sinking fast
The crash of the will has ceased
to beat and the sound Of the
match is passed.
Then all I need are two clean
sheets, a bed and a peaceful
night,
And I'll lie down and dream, Of
the King Of Games until the
mornings light
