House Approves Bill
To Put D. T.. Addicts
In Federal Hospitals
Revised Measure
Is Due to Come Up
In Senute Tomorrow
By Miriom Ottenberu

Legislation to send District
dope addicts to Federal hospitals
swiftly passed the House yester-
day and is due to come up in
the Senate tomorrow.
The measure found a place in
the laSt-minute rush of bills be-
cause it is considered necessary
to assure disqualification for
District addicts committed under
the compulsory treatment law
signed by President Eisenhower
last month. e
To facilitate Senate action,
Chairman Smith of the Senate
Labor and Public Welfare Com
mittee-the group which would
ordinarily consider the measure
agreed to waive jurisdiction.
Senator Smith said that since
the Senate District Committee
had studied the original legis-
lation-the commitment law
and since this was simply an
enabling act to make the earlier
law work. he thought it was
only fair to turn it over to Chair
man Case of the Senate Dis
trict Committee.
No Reason to Oppose 1t.
Senator Case said he wanted
to get clearance from the ma
jority and minority leaders in
order to bring the House-paSsed
measure to the floor as an in
dividual Senator tomorrow.
He handed the bill to Sena-
tor Gore, Democrat, of Ten
nessee, who was acting minority
leader last night. Senator Gore
said he had asked his staff to
study it.
"At this time" said Senator
Gore, II see no reason to op-
pose it. I was very interested
in the other bill (for compul-
sorry treatmenD and l want to
facilitate the program in every
advisable way. But ! do want
to look it over"
The bill became an eleventh.
hour problem because President
Eisenhower, the Budget Bureau
and the Health, Education and
Welfare Depart opposed it as
first introduced. At that time. it
would have applied to commit
ments from all the States.
The bill as it passed the House
was a revised measure drafted
by the Welfare Department and
approved by the Budget Bureau.

Cross and Pfc. Bluhm. On the
other side were Sergt. McCrim-

men.
Sergt. McCrimmon said he
kept "hollering over to Cross, u
asking how he was.
HE always replied. I'm okay,
or I'm fine" Sergt McCrim-
mon said. HE never gave me
any indication he was bad hurt.
There wasn't anything any one

six men of our company dug us

Cross was laid on a litter and
the men of his platoon carried
him $50 yards back to the main
line where an ambulance jeep
and a Catholic chaplain were
waiting.
The litter jeep carried Sergt.
Cross to an aid station one
quarter mile down the road. The
chaplain went along.

both places to the same man.
A number of Senators indi-
Gated they expected Senator
Knowland will be chosen to con-
tinue as leader.
Senator Hendrickson, Repub-
lican, of New Jersey, said Sena-
tor Knowland has done such a
good job of steering the party
program through in the busy
closing days of the session that
he thought the Californian had
earned his spurs"
Several others echoed this
sentiment.
One reliable source suggested
last night that if some Senator
with greater seniority than Sena-
tor Knowland should indicate an
interest in the leadership, it
might give rise to a contest,
because of the Importance Sena-
tors traditionally attach to
length of service.
Senator Bridges of New Hamp-
shire is the top-ranking Repub-
lican in seniority. He was not
at the Capitol yesterday and
could not be reached for COM
ment. But his friends indicated
that he was satisfied with his
present assignments as Presi-

who described the program to
diplomats representing Is other
nations with fighting forces in
Korea. He urged them to con-
slider using their forces in the
same way.
The meeting was held in secret
at the State Department, but
United States officials later re-
ported what Mr.. Dulles had said
The Secretary of State, who
has already visited Europe and
the Middle East in his six
months in Office, will fly to the
Far East today to confer with
President Syngman Rhee on post
armiStice political problems.
Dulles Lists Main Points.
In his talk with the diplomats,
according to the account subse-
quently given out, Mr.. Dulles
made these major points:
/. President Eisenhower is en-
thusiaStic about starting Korean
rehabilitation at the earliest pos
Sible moment to demonstrate
what the free world can do in
bettering the lives of the long
suffering Koreans. The Presi-
dent and Mr.. Dulles intend with
in the limits Of possibility (not
interfering with armistice duties)
to put the American troops in
South Korea to work building
roads, bridges, schools, hospitals
and the like. Mr.. Dulles Wis
ualized the troops as mission
aries Of rehabilitation who would
themselves profit by being en-
gagged in worthwhile activity
rather than being idle.
2. The United States hopes
that the other friendly govern
ments with forces in Korea will
continue to keep them there.
American military authorities
say the allies must keep on the
alert against the possibility of
some move by an enemy who
has in no way relaxed his readi-
ness for combat.
3. During his talks with Mr..
Rhee. Secretary Dulles will ne
gotiate key provisions of a
United States-Korean security
treaty. But he will keep the way
open for later agreement on
withdrawal of American troops
from Korea if that becomes de-
sirable. Some diplomats had
been concerned lest the United
States hamper an agreement
with the Communists in forth
coming political talks by COM
mitting itself now to maintain
forces in Korea for a long time.
4. Mr.. Rhee has a virtual OBJ
session with the idea that the
United Nations allies will lay
down hard and fast policy line
on Korea without considering
his views and interests. One Of
Mr.. Dulles purposes in making
the long trip to Seoul is to try
to allay his fears. Mr.. Dulles
will seek to get as much agree
ment as possible between the

Eisenhower Wants
1O.5Mil|ion More PUT
Under Security Setup
Farmers, Domestics
And the Professions
Would Get Benefits
By james Y. Newton

President Eisenhower last night
asked Congress to extend social
security coverage so that old-age
and survivors benefit payments
could be made available to an
additional los million persons.
More than 40 million are covered
now.
Gen. Eisenhower made the re-
quest in the last days of the pres
ent session so that Congress
would have ample time to study
the proposal and act on it in the
session starting in January. He
was acting to fulfill promises
made in last years campaign and
also in his state-of the union
message to fight for general i'm
provements in the social security
program.
improvements Being Studied.
New groups the President
would bring under social security
include self-employed farmers,
many more farm workers and
domestic workers than are now
covered. doctors, dentists, law
yers. architects, accountants and
other professional people: men,
bers of many State and local re-
tirement systems on a voluntary
group basis: clergymen on a
voluntary group basis and several
other smaller groups.
The President at this time did
not ask for any improvement in
benefits, although he told Con-
gress: "Other important i'm
provements in the Social Secur-
ity Act are now under study and
will be the subject of further
recommendations"
Gen. Eisenhower's special
message was accompanied by a
letter from Welfare Secretary
Oveta Culp Hobby, which out
lined the extension plan in more
detail. The new program was
developed by a committee Of IL
experts appointed by Mrs. Hobby

Debt Ceiling Increase Blocked
BY Senators, Paving Way For
Adjournment Tomorrow Night
Committee Beats
Eisenhower on
SIS Billion Boost
By J. A. O'LeoN

The Senate Finance Commit
tee last night turned thumbs
down on President Eisenhower's
request for SIS billion increase
in the public debt ceiling at this
time, and paved the way for
speedy adjournment of Congress,
probably tomorrow night.
1t was a major defeat for the
administration, and came in the
face of a warning by Treasury
Secretary Humphrey that ina
bility of the Government to meet
its obligations between now and
the January session could cause
financial panic.
Chairman Millikin said there
was no discussion in the COM
mittee of coming back in Sep
tenber or October. But he
pointed out that. of course. the
President can always reconvene
Congress for this or any other
special reason.
Vote Reported IL to 4.
The vote on a motion to table
the bill for the time being, re-
portedly offered by Senator Byrd,
was not announced officially.
But committee members said it
was a decisive IL to 4.
There are eight Republicans
on the Finance Committee and
seven Democrats. One Demo-
crat, Senator Kerr, of Oklahoma,
voted with three Republicans
against tabling the bill. The
Republicans backing the admin
istration request were Chairman
Millikin. of Colorado. and Sen
ators Martin of Pennsylvania
and Carlson Of Kansas.
On the other side were six
Democrats and five Republicans
as follows:
Democratic Senators George
of Georgia, Byrd of Virginia,
johnson of Colorado. Hoey of
North Carolina, Frear of Della
ware and Long of Louisiana;
Republican Senators Butler of
Nebraska, Williams of Delaware,
Flanders of Vermont, Malone of
Nevada and Bennett of Utah.
House leaders had succeeded
in rushing the bill through their
branch yesterday. 239 to 1853.
and administration leaders had
abandoned plans to adjourn this
week in the hope of getting
something through the Senate.
Compromises Beaten.
But, in an all-day closed ses-
sion. Treasury Secretary Hum
phrey obviously failed to shake
the belief of a coalition led by
Senator Byrd that the Govern
ment could get by until January
within the present debt limit of
$275 billion.
The victorious coalition also
defeated by substantial voice
votes a series of compromise
amendments. One would have
had authorized the Treasury to
issue $40 billion of tax anticipa-
tion certificates between now
and July /, 1854, as an alterna-
tive to raising the debt ceiling.
Another proposed amendment
would have raised the debt CELL
ing to $285 billion.
A third, by Senator Kerr,
would have raised SIS billion on

Congress Recesses
Until Tomorrow With
Must Bills Unfinished
House Votes Compromise
On Trade Act; Refugee
Bill Sent to President
By Robert K. Welsh

A compromise to continue the
Reciprocal Trade Agreements
Act without adding a seventh
member to the Federal Tariff
Commission won House approval
last night as Congress quit work
until tomorrow on all except a
handful of major measures.
House leaders had hoped to
complete their business on all
remaining must" legislation.
They changed their plans and re-
cessed at 7:15 pm. because of
Senate decision to stop early in
the evening. Several trouble
some bills and conference reports
still hung fire.
Both branches scheduled un-
usually long sessions for tomor-
row. in addition to participating
in the state funeral for Senator
Taft. The Senate meets at
10 am. and the House an hour
later.
Halleck Sees No Trouble.
The House is in much better
shape to wind up it's work in a
few hours. It could then await
final adjournment that hinges
on the Senate's stand on sew
eral important issues notwith-
standing the Senate Finance
Committees decision last night
to table the debt limit bill.
Majority Leader Halleck told
the House he anticipated mo
difficult situations over here"
but he urged members to stay in
Washington so that a quorum
would be on hand for voting.
The trade agreements extern
sion bill was adopted by the
House after only four minutes of
debate. 1t seemed likely to OBJ
tain prompt acceptance in the
Senate tomorrow.
The conference report dis
closed that the House dropped it's
demand to increase the Tariff
Commission membership from
six to seven. The Senate con-
ferees, however, agreed to a pro-
vision whereby, in event of a tie
vote by the commission on any
application or hearings or in
veStigations. such meetings or
inquiries would have to be held.
