S5,643 Tax Lien
Filed Against Wife
Of Inspector Bullock

A Federal income tax lien
totaling $5,643 yesterday was
filed against Mrs. Helen M. Bull
lock, wife of suspended police
Inspector Albert I. Bullock.
The lien, filed in the U. s.
District Court for the District
of Columbia, covers the years
1916 through 1949 and includes
penalty and interest.
Attorney Charles E. Ford, who
has represented the policeman
in lengthy litigation involving
efforts to have the suspended
official retired Immediately with
full annuity, said Mrs. Bullock
"doeS not owe a penny"
The policeman and Mrs. Bull
lock had been questioned by
the Senate District Crime
subcommittee last year as to
sources of outside income. 1t
was Inspector Bullock's failure
to answer satisfactorily that led
to his suspension. Mrs. Bullock
also failed to explain bank de-
posits Of about $4,000 in 1916
through 1948.
Mr.. Ford said Mrs. Bullock now
is employed as a secretary. but he
declined to say where. He said
he did not wish to subject her
to haraSsment.
The address on the tax lien
was given as 116 Frankfort Hall,
40 Plattsburg court NV. But a
spokesman at that address, in
Mclean Gardens, said there was
no record that Mrs. Bullock lived
there.

Makins Sees
Peace Lifting
Standards
Ambassador Speaks
At Conference
Sponsored by UCS

Sir Roger Makins. British Am
bassador, believes a lessening Of
world tension would bring nearer
the day when resources now de-
voted to defense could be used to
raise living standards through
out the world.
The Ambassador spoke at the
luncheon session yesterday Of
the Health. Welfare and Recre-
alton Conference. sponsored by
United Community Services, in
the Shoreham Hotel.
He commented that President
Eisenhower "has so nobly fore.
seen" this also. He added:
you who are attending this
meeting today work in fields
which are mercifully far removed
from the diplomatic troubles Of
our time. Neither health nor
disease, neither welfare nor rec.
reation, should know any fron-
tiers. Their study must continue
to be international in the future
as it always has been in the
past"
The Ambassador devoted q
good part of his speech to ex-
planning the health, welfare and
recreation programs in Britain.
Commenting on the socialized
medical care in England, he said
the British people have to pay
themselves for all the BENEFITS.
He pointed out that a part of
the cost is carried by the con-
tributions of employers and
workers, the rest from taxation.
1T is worth noting that tax
alton in the United Kingdom in
beer and tobacco alone is equal
to nearly three times the total
cost of the national health serv-
ice and not far short of the total
expenditure on social services Of
all kinds"

Hersche| Young Gets
a Months 10 7 Years
For Lying 10 Jury

Influence Peddler Herschel
Young was given a four-month-
to-two-year prison sentence to-
day by Federal Judge Alexander
Holtzof for lying to a District
grand jury.
Young received the same pun
ishment given his brother, E.
Merl Young of RFC mink coat
scandal" fame on April 80 by
Judge Matthew F. MCGUIRE.
The judge expressed regret
that a system has sprung up in
Washington whereby business
men feel they need to pay for in
Productions to appropriate Gov
eminent officials with whom they
wish to do business. Judge
Holtzoff claSsed such influence
peddlers as parasites, and said:
"They are like the lilies of the
field. They toll not, neither do
they spin"
The U. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia jurist
turned down Attorney Miller w.
Roberts plea that Young be per-
mitted freedom on bail pending
an appeal. Herschel Young was
convicted on one count Of lying
to a grand jury in denying that
he had ever represented any one
before the RFC.
Three other counts in the in
dictment were dropped just be-
fore Young's case went to the
trial jury
Before sentencing the defend
ant, Judge Holtzoff denied a
plea for probation and said he
is still puzzled over what Young
actually does for a living and
what he was attempting to hide
from the grand Jury.

Maryland Official
Sticks by Plan for
National Pike Route
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, May 29.-Chair-
man Russell H. Mccain Of the
State Roads Commission said
Yesterday it is sticking by its plan
to use a route through Rock
Creek Park and Chevy Chase for
getting the new Washington Ma
tional Pike into the edge of
Washington.
This is the so-called south
east leg" or alternate route B"
which has stirred such q contro-
versy among residents Of the
Montgomery County suburbs at
the northern tip of the District
of Columbia.
Only last Monday, George E.
Warner of Bethesda and former
Senator Gerald P. Nye led dele
CATION before Gov. McKeldin to
protest.
Seen As Best Route.
Mr.. Mccain said the commits
sion still is convinced the south
east leg is the best route for the
four lane eXpressway which
Maryland is building between
Frederick and Washington.
He said some difficulties still
remain to be cleared up before
the commission can decide def
initely that it will follow the
southeast leg plan.
The commission is eager to
get survey parties working at
laying out the route. for building
the expressway to the edge of
Washington is in the first phase
of the States new 12-year 1868
million highway program.
The connection would start in
the vicinity of Grosvenor Lane
and Wisconsin avenue, run 3-5
miles south and east through the
western part Of Rock Creek Park
in Maryland and connect with
the present East-West highway
at Beach drive.
Objection to Plan
One of the objections is that
bringing so much traffic to that
point will force the District of
Columbia to build an expressway
in its part of Rock Greek Park.
The Roads Commission con-
tends this is the long-range plan
of District officials. In a later
phase of the Maryland highway
program, money is set aside for
building a connector from East
West highway to a Rock Creek
expressway at the District line.
The Silver Spring Board Of
Trade has taken the side Of the
Roads Commission in the dispute,
contending the southwest leg is
needed to handle heavy traffic
to and from Silver Spring, Ia
koma Park. and other Montgom-
cry County communities.

New Plan for Care
OF Addicts Is Drafted
By Attorneys General

A proposal to combine Federal
and State facilities to require
compulsory disqualification and
follow-up care for drug addictS
will be put before Congress.
The plan was drafted yester-
day at a meeting of the Narcotic
Drug Control Committee of the
National Association of Attorneys
General, named last year to
survey the addiction problem.
In its program the group
stressed the Importance of keep
ing a close watch on the addict
for a time after he has been
hospitalized for his addiction, to
make sure he does not return to
the habit.
Custody for States.
The proposal Of the attorneys
general would permit State
courts to order addicts commit
ted to Federal hospitals at Lex
ington, KY, and Fort Worth,
Tex. 1t would give the States
custody OF the patients when
they are released.
The suggested law also would
give the United States Surgeon
General discretion to accept those
patients which he feels could be
accommodated at the two Fed
eral hospitals, or other facilities
which might be established.
The f1ve-stage program calls
for withdrawal from drugs
physical rehabilitation. psyche
therapy, occupational therapy
and after-cure supervision.
Follow Up Lacking Now.
The first four stages already
are provided in the Federal hos
pitfalls. However, except for those
patients committed there from
penal institutions or as a proba-
tionary measure, drug addictS go
there voluntarily for treatment
and there is no follow-up care.
In announcing the plan, At
torney General Nathaniel L.
Goldstein of New York declared:
Studies indicate that the adj
dict at large, unattended or
casually treated, is a focal point
of contagion for others. The
