U.S.. Ends Objection to Putting
Addicts in Federal Hospitals
Approval Of District Use Spurs Hope
Congress Con Act Before Adjournment

trict dope addicts, rather than
to addicts throughout the coun-
try as provided in the original
bill which President Eisenhower,
the Budget Bureau and the We'll
fare Department all opposed.
2. It would limit the authority
to commit District addicts to the
Public Health Service hospitals
to three years considered
enough time to let the District
work out its own program for
hospitalizing them.
3. Only so District dope ad-
diets committed under the new
disqualification law would be ad-
mitted at any one time: DR..
Miller had proposed limitation
of 100 but said so would be a
start on the problem.
District Would Pay.
4. The District would have to
pay for transportation and care
of addicts committed to the two
Federal hospitals treating ad-
diets. This cost, however. was
described earlier as about half
the cost of treating the addicts
at Gallinger Hospital, if the city
had facilities for them there
! which it does not.
| Commissioner Samuel Spencer
wrote DR.. Miller today that "at
the present time the District of
Columbia does not have hospital
facilities available for the mar
cotic addicts" committed under
the new law.
A survey, Commissioner Spen-
Ger said, showed that Gallinger
would be able to handle 16 pa
tients-with staff increases and
building changes-but beyond
this, new construction will be
necessary for the addicts or for
persons they would displace. He
pointed out that construction
takes time and some place is
needed for the addicts mean
while.
The amended bill, he said,
will provide a satisfactory and
economical temporary solution
which will enable sound plans for
the permanent handling of this
matter to be developed by the
Commissioners on the basis of
actual experience" under the new
commitment law.
AS for the number of addicts
in the District, Commissioner
Spencer reported that the Police
Department has records of 1919

BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, July 30.-The Far
East Air Forces said today the
co-pilot of a missing B-50 bomb
er was rescued from the sea 40
miles off the coast of Russian
Siberia.
The Air Force said no other
survivors had been sighted. A

The co-pilot was picked up by
a Navy ship from a boat dropped
last night by an Air Force rescue
plane, the Air Force said.
The rescue was made south of
hIys Povortny, southeast of
Vladivostok.
(Air Force headquarters in
Washington said the B-50 was
on a "navigational training
flight.~
FEAT in Tokyo said a giant
air and surface search still is
underway and there may be
other survivors.
Details of the crash were not
announced. The rescued CO.
pilot is being flown to Japan.
He was not identified.
A search plane crew thought

Commissioners Study
Conflicting Advice
On Status Of Fowler
Spencer Withholds
Comment on Morse's
Warning on Issue
By Don S. Worren

District officials today had un-
der study conflicting advice from
Capitol Hill as to whether
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler
should be kept subordinate to
Schuyler Lowe, director of gen.
eral administration.
Senator Morse, Independent.
of Oregon, in an angry blast on
the Senate floor yesterday,
warned the Commissioners they
must keep Mr.. Fowler where
he belongs" under Mr.. Lowe.
He warned the city heads that
he was going to "eagle eye" them
to see how they carry out Dis
trict government reorganization
He told them that if they
wanted a fight, I'll take you
on"
Spencer WithhOIdS Comment.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
said he did not wish to comment
until he had read the full text
Of Senator Morse'S remarks and
talked to his fellow Commission
erS. ,..
When questioned by reporters
after the conference report came
out Mr.. Spencer had said he had
discussed the matter lin pre-
liminary way" with Senator
Case. He would not say at that
time what he intended to do
about the recommendation.
The controversy stems from a
recommendation contained in
the conference report on the 1854
District budget that the District
budget officer (Mr. Fowler) be
made responsible directly to the
Board of Commissioners.
It was stated like this: 1T is
the opinion of the confereeS of
both houses that the budget Of
ficer should report directly to
the Commissioners"
But that advice, Senator Morse
charged in his speech to the
Senate, was a move to circum-
vent the decision of the Senate
in it's earlier action on the re-
organization question.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee in its report last week
proposed that both it's funds and
functions of the budget and

100000 Approved
To Start Peace Cross
FIood-ControI Work
Butler Appeals to Senote
For Action, Hits Project
Backed by McKeIdin

The Senate today approved
$780, 900 to begin construction of
flood control facilities at Peace
Cross, BladenSburg, Md.
Action came when the figure
was inserted by the Senate in
the pending last supplemental
appropriations bill of this ses-
sion.
The amendment was offered
by Senator Butler, Republican,
of Maryland. He told the Senate
that the Army engineers long
range program for flood control
needed some Federal money this
year in order to free funds au-
thorized by the State for the
same project.
Senator Butler charged that
the long range program was
badly needed instead Of the pro-
poSal by Gov. McKeldin to raise
the level of roads in Bladens-
burg.
Reduced From S5OO,OOO.
The Butler amendment was
approved Nafter he had reduced
the figure from his original pro-
posal of $500,000 to 100000.
The reduction was made at
the suggestion of Chairman
Bridges of the Senate Appro-
priations Committee, who was
handling the bill on the Senate
floor.
Senator Bridges pointed out
that the figure of $500,00O had
previously been approved by his
Appropriations Committee and
by the Senate itself in the supply
bill for the civil functions of the
Army. But this sum had been
lost in conference with the
House. The civil functions bill
went to the White House some
time ago.
Senator Butler said the civil
functions bill did contain money
for planning Peace Cross flood
control, but he emphasized that
the project does not need plan
ming money now, it needs con-
struction funds, even a smaller
amount than the half-million
originally requested.
Bond Issue Authorized.
The Maryland Legislature at
its recent session authorized the
issuance of bonds by State and
county agencies to the total of
$4, ,25O,00O to carry the States
part of the long-range Peace
Cross project.
But the Legislature stipulated

Mr.. Cooper have reached an
agreement to that effect.
Senate Decision Awaited.
Mr.. Halleck indicated that no
final decision would be made by
the House group until it learns
what the Senate leaders and f.
nance committee propose to do.
Mr.. Reed, it was learned, sug-
gested that any hearings should
be held next week instead of to-
morrow or Saturday.
The chairman told House
leaders that a long list of wit
neSses is scheduled to be heard
during the remainder of this
week at the committee open
hearings on general tax reviSions.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of
Virginia, leading opponent of a
higher debt ceiling at this time,
said he understood the admin
istration wants the ceiling raised
by $15 billion, which would
make it $500 billion.
This would be far more than
the Treasury needs for the
period of a congressional recess.
If that much is requested, it
presumably would be with the
thought of not having to reopen
the issue again next year.
Byrd Joins Conference.
Senator Byrd, who tried to
head off the move in a Senate
speech yesterday, was called into
consultation by administration
officials today. They compared
their figures with the data the
Senator gave the Senate yester-

Treasury Caught in Middle
Of Debt Limitation Dispute
Fiscal Experts Fear Being Forced
To Violate One Law or Another

/ is probable that the officials
would select the debt limit law
as the one to be violated.
There is a school of thought
that Congress. by providing for
the spending of funds sufficient
to send the public debt beyond
the legal limit. indirectly raised
the limit Hence. according to
this thinking, it would not violate
the law for the administration
to borrow whatever was needed
to meet the expenditures out
lined by Congress.
An alternative might be. if
the Treasury was running out of
funds and with borrowing al
ready at the SITS billion ceiling,
for Uncle Sam to put off paying
his debts until the money to pay
them was in pocket.
Treasury officials take a dim
view of borrowing in excess of
the limit set by Congress, and
an even DINNER view of the idea
of reneging on paying off it's
debts. They fear the effect of
either course on Uncle Sam S
credit, They fear they might
have difficulty disposing of a
bond issue that would send bor-

foreignAid Bill Voted
By Senate, 50 10 10,
Gels Final Test Today
$6.7 Billion Measure
Sent to Conference
After Stormy Session
BY Crosby S. Noyes

The $67 billion foreign aid bill.
passed by the Senate early this
morning, faces IFS final hurdle
today in conference with econ
omv minded House leaders.
The bill cleared the Senate at
1884 am. ending a stormy Is
hour session IN which admins
tration forces beat down al eff
forts to cut the appropriation.
AS finally approved. the meas
ure provides $6,745,318,202. or
about $548 milliof more than
voted by the House. It is still
nearly a half billion dollars be-
low what President Eisenhower
asked.
II the compromise agreement
with the House follows the usual
pattern, the final total would be
about $6.5 billion, including
about 81 billion carried over from
last year.
Senate Version May Win.
However, there were indica-
tionS that the Senate figure
might prevail. House leaders have
agreed that their own bill cut too
deeply into the foreign-aid pro-
gram, and are not expected to
put up any real fight for the
economies.
Final passage of the Senate
bill was by a vote of SO to 10,
with exhausted Senators shout
ing down laSt-minute attempts
to delay passage. Administration
leaders called it a significant vic
tory for President Eisenhower.
The most serious threat had
come earlier in the evening,
when a move led by Senator
Long. Democrat, of Louisiana, to
trim the bill to the House figure,
was defeated by a vote of So to
35.
Party Lines Split.
The vote split party lines
almost exactly down the middle,
with 27 Republicans and 26
Democrats voting against it. In

Renewed Tax Probe
Reveals Pressures
To Stop Hearings
Keun Calls for Telephone
Logs Of Two Former
Officials of Treasury
By Cecil HoIIond

Behind proSaic announce
ment that House investigators
of tax scandals will resume
hearings Monday lies a story m
volving a dramatic and behind
the-scenes tug of war to prevent
further airing of questionable
tax practices in the Truman ad-
manistration.
An announcement yesterday
by Chairman Kean of the House
Ways and Means subcommittee
investigating tax matters said
the hearings would be concerned
with undue Treasury influence"
on the settlement of tax cases.
What the New, Jersey Republi-
cans announcement didn't say
was that the hearings will be
based on information obtained
from a large extent from tele-
phone records maintained by for
mer Undersecretary of the Treas
ury Edward H. Foley. jr.. and
Thomas j. Lynch, the former
general counsel of the Treasury
Department.
Supplement Information.
These so-called logs" it was
learned supplement to an ex-
tended degree the information
obtained by the subcommittee
from the telephone records of
Charles Oliphant, former chief
counsel of the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue. The Oliphant
records have been used in earlier
hearings bearing on the Treas
ury's part of the settlement of
tax cases.
They were obtained by the
subcommittee last month in a
dramatic postlude to more than
two years of investigation of tax
irregularities and scandals in
the Governments revenue COL

Mr.. Lynch and Mr.. Foley for any
records they had kept while hold

man administration.
Subcommittee members said
the subpoenas set off a sort of
chain reaction of pressure
against the House group that
sifted down through high places
in the Democratic party. 1t was
directed, it was reported, toward
blocking further hearings on tax
cases involving former Secretary
of the Treasury Snyder and other
officials of the Truman admin
