The disposition of the bulk of
the U-boats was in accordance
with a tri-partite pact which
came out of the August 2, 1945,
Berlin conference attended by
President Truman. Prime Min

This pact reads in part:
"The longer part of the Ger

Some authorities contend the

OF the 10 boats in the USSR

Senate Action
On Addict Bill
disqualification Law
Sti|INeeded, He Soys;
Drug Use Declines
BY Miriom Ottenberq

Federal Narcotics Commits
sioner Harry j. Anslinger today
called for Senate action on the
House-passed bill to let the Dis
trict commit some of its dope
addicts to Federal narcotics
hospitals.
He made the plea to the
Senate Juvenile Delinquency
subcommittee in strongly recon-
mending compulsory hospitaliza-
ton of both juvenile and adult
addicts.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat.
OF Tennessee, a subcommittee
member, announced at the hear
ing that he would do anything
he could to get action on the
commitment bill in the Senate
early in January.
Mr.. Anslinger told the sub
committee the Districts COM
pulsory disqualification law was
lone of the most forward looking
things in the whole picture" and
something that has been sought
ever since the Bureau of Mar
cotics was created.
May Solve Problems.
The legislation was sponsored
by The Star. Mr.. Anslinger said
it probably would solve many
Of the Districts problems. He
said it was particularly impor-
tant for. young people because
the possibility of curing addicts
under 81 is especially good.
Commissioner Anslinger re-
ported a nationwide decline in
dope addiction among juveniles.
He said addicts under 81 brought
to the attention of authorities
in 81 principal cities had de-
creased from a total of 4,405 in
1851 to 1915 in 1852.
Mr.. AnSlinger also noted that
the number of admissions of ad-
diets under 81 to Public Health
Service Hospitals at Lexington,
KY. and Fort Worth, Tex, had
decreased from a peak of 440 in
1850 to 119 in the first 10 months
of 1858.
Increase Noted Here.
A slight increase was noted in
juvenile addiction in the District.
A total of 80 addicts under 81
were reported here in 1852 COM
pared to 35 in 1851 but the Dis
trict was listed among the cities
where juvenile addiction is
moderate"
Mr.. AnSlinger told the SUBJ
committee that "the immediate
need concerning the addict is
the enactment of State legisla-
ton providing compulsory treat
ment."
He pointed out that in the
closing days of the last session.
Congress passed a law for COM
pulsory disqualification of Dis
trict drug addicts. which. he
said, should prove. if success
full, to be a pilot project for all
States and governments to fol-
low" Its results, he said, should
be watched closely.
Speed Is Emphasized.
Mr.. Anslinger pointed out,
however, that when this Dis
trict law goes into effect next
month, the District will have no
place to hospitalize its addictS.
He told the subcommittee a bill
allowing the District to commit
so addictS at a time to the Fed
eral hospitals at District expense
had passed the House but did
not get through the Senate be-

Farm Price Report,
Due Today, May Stir
Attacks on 6. 0. P.
BY the Assoeioted Press

A new Government report on
farm prices due today may set
off new attacks in Congress on
the Eisenhower Administrations
handling of the farm situation.
Prices farmers received for
their crops and livestock and
livestock products, as of mid
February, were reflected in the
forthcoming report.
Price declines reported in a
similar statement for January
brought sharp attacks from some
members of Congress. mostly
Democrats, for what they called
failure of Secretary of Agricul-
ture Benson to do anything to
stabilize farm markets.
The last previous farm price
report showed that farm prices
declined slightly less than l per
cent between id-December and
mid-January and that they were
down II per cent from a year
earlier.
Since mid-January, prices of
cattle, a major farm marketing
item at this season of the year,
have lost further ground. A re-
port today showing that prices
followed the same pattern as a
year ago would push the farm
price level several percentage
points lower than in mid-Janu-
ary this year.
Secretary Benson and his eco
nomic advisers have been expect
ing farm prices to level off. They
say the general economic condi-
tion of the country is sound and
should. with the prevailing high
level employment and good con-
sumer incomes. support fair
prices for farmers.

There have been other cases

House Group Ready
To Approve Blast at
Soviet EnsIaVement
By J. A. oLeory

The House Foreign Affairs
Committee appeared ready today
to vote approval Of the Eisen-
hover anti-enslavement resolu-
ton. but the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee has put of
action until Tuesday to study
amendments.
The Senate, meanwhile, is pre-
pairing to debate this afternoon q
separate resolution condemning
Communist persecution of racial
and religious groups in all parts
of the world.
In appearances before both the
House and Senate committees
yesterday Secretary of State
Dulles laid heavy stress on the
Importance of an almost unani-
nous vote for the anti-enslave-
ment resolution.
If it passes by a close vote, the
effect will be worse than if it
never had been proposed. he said.
This is because the Communists
would then be able to picture the
United States as divided on the
eventual independence OF small
nations now under Communist
domination.
Democrats Support Draft.
The administration draft has
won widespread Democratic sup
port, because it merely condemns
Russia's violations of World War
II agreements without criticizing
the making of those agreements
by former Presidents Roosevelt
and Truman.
In both the House and Senate,
however, there are some Repub-
licans who would like to rephrase
parts of the resolution to make it
stronger. Present indications are
they will not go to the point of
insisting on amendentS that
might provoke a controversy and
a close vote.
In the Senate committee late
yesterday, one Democrat-Sena-
tor Gillette of Iowa-joined in
asking for some changes.
Chairman Wiley, Republican,
Of Wisconsin told reporters that
none of the suggested amend
mentS criticize the making of
the agreements.
Question Raised.
Senator Wiley said one of the
questions raised by Senators was
whether the resolution as writ
ten might be construed as an
approval of the Yalta-Potsdam
and other World War II agree
mentS.
In other words, Senators who
are willing to refrain from a
repudiation of the agreements
also want to be sure that they
do not indirectly approve the
agreements, which were made
by Presidents without Senate
consultation.
Before the House committee
yesterday afternoon, Represen-
tative Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr..
tangled with Republicans who
were criticizing the Yalta agree
ment. which was made by his
father in 1945. 4 \
After some COMMITTEES MEM
bers had criticized the agree
mentS for disposing of the rights
of nations that were not pres
ent when the agreements were
made, young Mr.. Roosevelt in
terupted to say that Chang Kai-
shek validated the Yalta agree
ment and it took him nine years
