Busboy's Arrest Solves Puzzle
OF Legislators Car Mileage

Representative Brady Gentry,
Democrat. of Texas had been
having an odd experience with
his new car.
At night he would park his car
near his home at s08 A street
NE. and in the morning it
wouldn't be just where he parked
1t. In fact, once it was in the
aext block and at first he thought
it was stolen.
There was another funny
thing, too. The mileage mysteri-
ously increased in the night.
This had been going on for
weeks when the Texas legislator
decided it had gone far enough

advise that there would be no
objection to the enactment Of a
bill containing the provisions of
the attached draft Qimiting the
bill to the District with the
three-year, 50-patient provisos)
This represents, also, the view
of this department"
The new draft emphasizes the
temporary nature of the Fed
eral hospital authorization. It's
first section states:
I'm order to afford the Dis
trict of Columbia time to pro-
vide the facilities required to
carry out the act of June "a.
1858, and in the interim to help
it meets its responsibility for the
detention, care and treatment
of non-criminal narcotic adj
diets. it is hereby declared to
be the purpose of this act to
authorize the limited use Of
suitable Public Health Service
facilities for a temporary period
at the expense of the District
of Columbia for such detention.
care and treatment"
The deadline for admissions
of addictS under this bill was
fixed at July /, 1856.
Other Issues Settled.
The Rockefeller letter settled
two other issues: first, how
many beds are actually avail
able at the two Federal hospi-
tails? Second, why did the
Public Health Service draft the
bill allowing admission of ad-
diets from all over the country
and then oppose it?
On the point of bed capacity,
Mr.. Rockefeller reported that
Lexington'S optimum construct
ed capacity was 1,100, but it had
1,438 beds set up and its average
daily load during the 1853 fiscal
year was 1869. This included
a low Of 1908 patients in June,
1858, and a high of 1,432.5
patients in January, 1853.
Fort Worth's constructed ca
pacity was 762 with 994 beds
set up and an average daily
load Of BAT patients with a
high Of 1855 patients in March,
1858, and a low of 800.3 patients
in october, 1852.
while the attached tabula-
tions," Mr.. Rockefeller wrote,
indicate that during the off,
peak months it would be possible
to admit 100 additional COM

overcrowding, it is the view of

Ohio Police Chief Denies
Hoffman Racket CHARGE

CLEVELAND, July 30.-Cleve-

official last night denied state
ment by Representative Hoff-
man. Republican, of Michigan
that racketeerS get a cut in
profits from vending machines
in Cleveland.
Mr.. Hoffman made the state
ment yesterday as he accused
some House members of protect
ing labor racketeers. ! He said
that "20 per cent of all the
profits Of all vending-machine
companies in the city of Cleve-
land, with one exception, are
paid to racketeers."
Police Chief Frank w. Story
and William Presser, president
OF the Teamsters' District Coun-

OF no racketeering in vending

thorized to commit at any one
time to the two narcotic hos
pitalS should not exceed So" .
Above PrO-Rata Share.
He gave these reasons: First,
that a pro-rata share on a pop
ulation basis of available facili-
ties at Lexington and Fort
Worth would entitle the District
to approximately Is. instead of
the so offered in the bill. Second,
the District indicates a fairly
sure need for facilities for SO
committed patients but is not at
all certain they would need as
many as 100." Third, since the
long-range responsibility for this
program clearly should be as
sumed by the District, it does not
seem wise or desirable, pending
provision Of suitable facilities by
the District, to authorize COM
mitment of more patients than
represent the immediate needs
Of the District"
AS to why the Public Health
Service should appear to have
first favored and then opposed
the measure to send the addicts
to the Federal hospitals, Mr..
Rockefeller said the draft of the
original bill was prepared at the
request of the then United States
Attorney Charles M. Irelan with
the assumption that it would be
for DR.. Miller but it was never
recommended by the Welfare
Department, as was made clear
in two letters at the time.
Mr.. Rockefeller said the then
general counsel of the Welfare
Department asked Mr.. Irelan
what he wished to include in the
bill, posing specific questions.
One Of them was whether, the
'bill was to apply to all the States
or just the District. The answers,
Mr.. Rockefeller said, were given
by phone by Assistant United

hover signed the law for their
compulsory treatment. At that
time. he made it clear that ap-
proving the compulsory treat
ment measure did not mean he
would approve the companion
bill letting the Federal hos
pitals accept these non-criminal
addicts.
Mr.. Rover then made it clear
that he was not going to start
the wheels in motion for the
courts to commit addicts when
the law goes into effect in De-
cember if there were no place
to put them.
DR.. Miller and Commissioner
Spencer were credited by
the Welfare Department with
persuading that department and
the Budget Bureau to adjust
their previous position to meet
an immediate District problem.
Could Treat $50 Or More
A Welfare Department spokes-
man also noted that the So
addict limitation still meant that
up to $50 District addicts-and
possibly even more-could be
treated annually at the Federal
hospitals at Lexington. KY, and
Fort Worth, Tex. The standard
period of commitment, it was
pointed out, is now about four
and a half months and could
be reduced even further if there
were a solid "follow-up" pro-
gram here to assure continued
rehabilitation and keep the adj
dict from going back on the
habit.
Follow-up supervision was
specifically urged in the letter
to DR.. Miller signed by Welfare
Undersecretary Nelson D. Rookie
feller.
While it may not be ap-
propriate or feasible" he wrote,
Ito include within pending legis-
lation a provision which makes
clear the responsibility Of the
District of Columbia to develop
a sound program of 'follow-up'
for narcotic addicts after they
have been discharged from mar
cotic hospitals, we would like
to record our view that this is an
extremely important function
and responsibility which must
be carefully discharged If the
results which are hoped for
from the criminal commit
ment program are actually to
be achieved. We urge that the
District be requested to give
particular attention to this phase
of the total program"
Mr.. Rockefeller recorded the
official position of the executive
branch in these words:

Senate Is Concerned
By Clerical Expense,
But Passes Increase

The trials and tribulations of
Senators got a public airing late
yesterday as they passed a
500, 1881 legislative money bill
increasing their clerk hire,
stationery and long distance
call funds.
Since neither branch questions
the expenses of the other, the
House quickly accepted Senate
amendments to the bill and sent
it to the White House. This
bill also contains the budget for
Federal courts.

of Idaho, protested the increases.

to which I was elected. haven't
got enough help. I'm in the red.
Yet we will vote hundreds OF
millions for sinecureS and cushy
jobs in all the other branches of
this Government"
The bill would authorize
three additional clerks for Sen
ators from States with more
than S million population, such
as Illinois; two for those from
states with 3 million to 5 mil
lion population and one for
those with under million.
The Senate, as expected, also
restored to David Lynn, archi-
tect of the Capitol. the right to
an automobile, which had been
cut out of the bill by the House.
1t struck House language
which would have prevented
Mr.. Lynn not only from buying
a new car but from using the
one the Government has pro-
vided for him.
In another section of the bill,
the Senate approved $4,000 to
plan an annex to the Senate
Office Building, a project which
has been deferred for several
years. The site. Immediately
east of the present Senate Of
fee Building, has been acquired,
but construction has been
blocked by economy arguments.
The site now is used as a park
ing lot.
The measure also carries
House-approved funds for i'm
provement of terraces around
the Capitol, various repairs to
Capitol Hill buildings and al
terations to the Capitol power
plant.
The Senate knocked out of
the bill a tax benefit approved
by the House for all members
Of Congress.
Under present law, members
can deduct on their income
taxes up to $4,000 of their div
ing expenses in Washington.
The House provision would have
permitted unlimited deductions.

NewSFOT Veterans

Veterans who plan to seek CT loans from
private lenders for homes, farms or bus
inesses should apply to Veterans Administr-
alton regional offices in advance for certif-
icates of eligibility, VA announced.
VA said this will reduce delays in process
ing the loan applications later, when the
the deal or is pressed for time to close the
loan.
Certificates of eligibility are proof for
lenders that VA will guarantee or insure a
loan if the veteran meets other usual loan
requirements
In the past, veterans have been advised to
submit their discharge or separation papers
to the lending institutions making the loan
They in turn would submit them to VA on
behalf of the veterans.
However, since the passage of the Korean
CT Bill which extends the loan guaranty
benefits of the World War ii CT Bill to vet
Grams with service since June 27, 1850, VA
must have information not previously need
ed to establish eligibility.
Now, to pass on veterans eligibility, VA
must know wheather the veteran served in
World War II or since the start of the Ko.
rean conflict, or both; what prior use of his
loan guaranty benefits, if any, has been
made; the status of any prior CT loans, and
wheather the veteran still owns real estate
purchased with any such loans.
Thus, by applying to VA offices in ad
vance, veterans and lenders may save con-
siderable time in processing the loan APP
plication. VA said it's local offices can quick
" determine what they will require in order
TO pass on veterans eligibility. This will
do away with needless correspondence and
expedite issuing certificates.
