Drug disqualification
Hearing SET Thursday

A House District subcommittee
will start hearings next Thurs
day on a bill to compel District
drug addicts to take treatment.
Representative Miller, Repub-

the bill and probably will head
the health, education and recre-

study the measure.
DR.. Miller made it clear yester-
day that the bill may get further
strengthening-particularly ap-
plying to follow-up treatment
after the addict is pronounced
cured. He said, it might be pos
sible to provide for a clinic where
the addict would report weekly
for a check-up.
Witnesses invited to the hear

There was no comment from
Mr.. Dodge on the apparent con-
f1ict between what he said and
the Presidents approval of the
proposed change.
Despite his plea, the House
committee, under the direction
of Representative Hoffman, Re-
publican, of Michigan, voted, Is

years.
The House group met today

dent wanted" said Mr.. Halleck.

The Senate committee, headed
by Senator Mccarthy, Repub-

bill unanimously. However, Sen

Massachusetts,, reserved the right
to wage a floor fight to have
the proposed change eliminated,
Senator Mccarthy said the ac-
ton of his committee was not an
effort to curb Gen. Eisenhower
power. He said his committee
was merely being consistent with
the position the Senate stood fol

Customs BureouA to Close
LoophoIe in Importing Wheat

The Justice Department is
studying these cases for possible
criminal prosecutions. Senator
Welker, Republican. of Idaho
said he was mot impressed" by
firms which offered to refund
subsidies after the General Ac-
counting Office exposed the
trickery.
The export subsidy was paid
under the International Wheat
Agreement. which expires July
81. Representatives of As ma
tions met here today to consider
renewing it. |
The four-year agreement has
cost the United States 5000 mil
lion. Under the plan, the United
States exports wheat at $1.80 a
bushel. AS the domestic price
is far higher, Washington has to
pay a subsidy to get any dealer
to export the grain.
United States officials now
favor renewal of the agreement,
but talk about an export price
of between 1920 and $3.50 per
bushel. This would redduce the
amount of the subsidy.
Would Extend Supports.

priceS-and some demands for
even greater price-support ef-
forts. Senator Stennis, Demo-
crat, of Mississippi yesterday
asked the Senate for a three
year extension of a law that re-
Quires Government support of
prices on six basic commodities
at 80 per cent Of parity. The
present law guarantees such sup
ports only through the 1854
crops.
An Agriculture Department in
vestigator, Stephen s. Sarrapede,
testified yesterday that the Agri-
culture Department is to blame
for part of its troubles with the
frost-bitten Canadian grain.
He told the Senate Agriculture
Committee that in September,
1851, H. j. Solomon of the de-
partment'S Office in Dallas, Tex,
told Washington that Canadian
and American grain was being
blended. Mr.. Sarrapede said
Washington apparently did
nothing at the time.
Mr.. Solomon later was fired,
along with the boss of the Dallas
Office. Latham White.

that eventual savings would be

The Customs Bureau is moving
to close a loophole that allowed
so million bushels of damaged
Canadian wheat to come into
the United States during the last
two years.
Fast-moving members of the
American grain trade used the
wheat in a way that cost Ameri-
can taxpayers millions of dollars.
Much Of the operation was legal.
Americans imported frost-bit-
ten Canadian wheat at low tariffs
on grounds it was unfit for hui
man consumption" After the
wheat entered the United States,
much of it was blended into top
grade wheat here and turned
into four-legally.
Importers Must Tell.
The Customs Bureau, to stop
this practice, now proposes to
make every importer of "unflt"
wheat declare what he intends
to do with the grain. The Gov
ernment might be able to catch
some grain dealers on a techni-
cal charge if they misrepresent
their intentions.
Under regulations written be-
fore the war, grain that is 80
per cent damaged is classified
unfit for human consumption. +"
But modern milling machinery
can handle the partly damaged
grain when it is blended with
other wheat.
Chairman Aiken of the Senate
Agriculture Committee pointed
out that every bushel of Cana
dian grain that got into regular
trade channels here meant the
U. s. Government bought an
other bushel at $2.20 to support
prizes. Under this calculation,
Senator Aiken said, American
Taxpayers may have been left
holding the bag for $50 mil
lion."
Fraudulent Export.
At the other end of the trade
channel, there was fraud. After
blending some of the Canadian
wheat with United States wheat,
some American dealers exported
the blend as pure American
wheat-and collected a U. S.
Government export subsidy of
up to 10 cents a buShel. Cana
dian wheat was not eligible for
the export subsidy.
