'Foreoone Conclusion
The specter of a Massa-
chusetts avenue bridge across
the Anacostia River was
raised last week by Commits
sioner Renah r. Camalier
amid a certain shuddering in
the District Highway Depart
ment.
The bridge project had been
thought dead beyond resusci-
tation except in the minds of
the National Capital Planning
Commission.
Now, however, Mr.. Camalier
has declared his belief that an
extension Of the thoroughfare
through the, District General
Hospital grounds and over the
Anacostia is more or less a
foregone conclusion.
The Commissioner made this
observation in a memo to

Debt Limit

The administration would
like a SIS billion increase in
the national debt limit to
provide a generous leeway dur
ing the next few years when
a balanced budget is uncertain.
But conservative Senators, led
by Harry F. Byrd. Democrat
Of Virginia, believe q lower
ceiling forces the Government
to economize.
Last week it looked as If the
Treasury would get q little
boost-but not much.
The Senate Finance Com
mittee voted to raise the debt
limit by SIS billion (from the
existing $275 billionl for q
period of one year. Next July
! the old limit would be re-
imposed. The House has ap-
proved a full SIS billion, but
the Senate seems to have the
stronger will on this issue.
Today the national debt
stands at $274.1 billion. There
is $50 billion cash in the
Treasury. but foreseeable ex-
penditutes would push the
debt $2.1 billion over the exist.
ing limit by next January.

But their cruel need of the

nected with it. may have led
them to doing Macs work.
How much profit is in the
traffic? In 1858, according to
Jung Tzo-ho, Macs Minister
Of Finance, dope valued at $50
million was shipped out of
China,
Some of this money is kept
in the victim countries to sup
port subversive activities. The
rest goes back to China, usually
in the form of war material.
Thus, every person in the free
world who takes up the habit
regardless of his political
leanings-becomes at once a
liability to the free worlds
safety.
Wholesale production of
dope for political purposes is
backfiring on the Reds, how
ever. They strictly forbid any
consumption Of the drug IN
their own country--all Is for
export. However, in a province
that is awash with poppies,
local appetites cannot be con-
trolled.

pires at the end Of this yesr.
Farm prices now are sup

basic commodities. Parity Is
q fair" price to the fafmer

Of this fair figure.
President Eisenhower, how

supports for current prices Of
foodstuffs and for the noun
tains Of surplus commodities
held in Government ware-
houses. The President wants q
program Of flexible supports,
to vary between IS and 80
per cent Of parity according
to supplies on hand. Lower
supports should cut produc-
ton, cut prices, increase con-
sumption and use up surplus
stocks.
The House farm State Rep
resentatives fought flexible
supports. but lost. A compro-
mise bill calling for supports
at from 8212 to 90 per cent
was voted.
There was another uprising
in the Senate Agriculture
Committee and the high-sup-
port Senators won. The farm
bill which was called up on
the Senate floor last week
specified another year of the
old 80 per cent.
@ Administration forces fought
back last week. Their argu-
ments: Let's change over to
the flexible system now rather
than at q time when farmers
could be seriously hurt-and
rather than continue with the
old surplus-forming system.
The farm bloc tried to hold
the line. Their arguments:
The farmer will be hurt seri-
ously by a drop in supports:
the administration is going
back on promises and is trying
to set farmer against farmer. /.
The key vote was to come
tomorrow on an amendment by
George D. Aiken, chairman of
the Agriculture Committee, to
throw out the high supports
voted by his rebellious COM
mittee and accept the admin

Politics
Kefuuver Surprises
Everybody, Including
Himself, in Primary

For several weeks it looked
as If Estes Kefauver was in
serious trouble. The lean,
rather horse-faced Chatta-
nooga Democrat had sky
rocketed to prominence in the
early years of the decade on
the strength of his crime
busting probe and his attrac-
tive wife Nancy. For a time
he seemed a real possibility to
succeed Harry S. Truman as
standardbearer Of the Demo-
cratic Party.
But like all skyrockets the
one labeled Kefauver went
down, after the 1852 Demo-
cratic Convention, just about
as fast as it went up. National
interests turned from crime
to communism and other Sem
ators-notably Joe Mccarthy
of Wisconsin-grabbed and
held the public spotlight.
None OF. these facts should
have made much difference
to Estes Kefauver in his at
tempt to win denomination as
Tennessee's senior Senator.
But earlier this year he ran
up against some stiff oppose
tion in the person of Pat
Sutton, Representative in the
House from Tennessee's 9th
(mid-Statel district. Sutton,
a man of neither note nor
notoriety, launched a power
ful campaign and made his
pitch on the basis of "Ameri-

helicopter and laid 1t out to
the people that his opponent
was a winger and "one-

Tointed Money Charge
Senator Kefauver's support
ers branded Mr.. Sutton an
"isolationist," and charged
that the helicopter and other
expensive appurtenances Of
his campaign were paid for by
tainted money from crooks out
to get Estes for his activities
against organized crime.

permit the Atomic Energy
Commission to do large-scale
experimental work in atomic
power but not sell power to the

ness.
A disputed patent section
was the hardest nut to crack.
The Senate wanted patent

Foreign Aid

Both the foreign aid au-
thorization and appropriation
bills were pending last week.
The Senate chopped half a
billion dollars from the au-
thorization bill to start the
week. The House had ap-
proved $3.3 billion, down
slightly from the original re-
quest Of $3.4 billion.
Vote on the Senate cut was
IS to Al. Reason given for
the reduction: The Foreign
Operations Administration still
has $9.7 billion unspent from
past years, while the Indo-
Chinese settlement has dimin-
ished the need for aid. (This
is a debatable point; see arti-
Gle by Earl H. Voss on Page
A-23.)
President Eisenhower, how
ever, said the cut was too
deep. The free world still
needed arms aid.
So the Conference Commit
tee set up to compromise the
House and Senate bills voted
to restore much of the Senate
cut. The group set the figure
at So billion.
Meanwhile there was Jug
Cling on the appropriation bill.
The House had voted a total
OF $5.2 billion. including new
money and re-appropriation OF
old money.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee this time supplied
the generosity, upping the
House figure by almost $4Oo
million.
1t was tough going. but
President Eisenhower still was
making out well with his for
eign aid program.

Morocco, where the French

than Tunisia. where the
French have been in control
for 73 years. But Morocco's
Arabs and Berbers, over 8 mil
lion at last count, seek a
greater voice in their govern
ment just as avidly as their
Tunisian cousins.
Last week they started
month of agitation to bring
back their old Sultan, Sidi Mo-
hammed ben Youssef, ousted
by the French in April, 1853,
for giving too much aid and
comfort to the nationalists.
Several attempts have been
made on the life of the new
French-picked Sultan, Moulay
Mohammed ben Arafa.
Letters and petitions are
now streaming into Paris de-
manding ben Youssef's return.
Riots and demonstrations
against the French are being
intensified. At Fee, the holiest

six persons were killed in a ma

up by police.

Red Chinese opium and.
heroin seized in the raids on
Chinatowns in Washington,
Norfolk and Newport News
last week are the end products
of a Communist campaign as
well planned, and perhaps as.
important, as a military, as
sault.
Half Of the objective had
been reached-Mao Tse-ting
and his henchmen collected
richly for the sale Of the drugs.
Those particular patches are
in the hands of the Federal
Narcotics Bureau, and there
fore will not accomplish the
rest of their mission-the
weakening of the American
moral fiber.
From reports to the United
States Narcotics Commissioner
Harry j. Anslinger, plNs inforr
nation that has leaked out of
China, we can put together a
likely history of the soul
sapping drugs now confiscated.
It probably began when a
farmer in the south of China
applied for a loan to put in
crop of opium poppies. He
didn't have a great deal of
trouble getting it. The Peoples
Bank of China has special
counters in its branches to
finance poppies.
Poor Return for Former
Chances are the farmer
didn't make out too well on
his crop. The Government
took it at its own price, barely
enough to support the labor
that produced it.
The opium was taken under
army guard either direct to a
smuggling center or to a gov
ernment morphine and heroin
plant at Tientsin.
morphine is one of the
active ingredients of opium,
and is, of course, in everyday
medical use. It can produce
addiction if unwisely used.
Heroin is processed from
morphine and is five times
as powerful. It can produce
the most vicious addiction.
Always in great demand by
addicts, heroin is the basis
of the Illicit traff1c.)
The organization that con-
trolls this flow is, with perfect
Communist semantics, the
Opium Prohibition Bureau of
the Central Peoples Govern
ment of the Peoples Republic
of China.
Eighty per cent of Red Chi
nese heroin flows through
warehouses at Canton. And
Canton is an easy trip by
water from Hong Kong-a free
port where smugglers abound.
Through Hong Kong?
Despite the vigilance of
British authorities, let us say,
the crop we are following is
exported by way of Hong
Kong through a network of
traders, many of whom have
become fabulously wealthy at
the business.
This could well have been
q shipment that was handled
by one Judah Isaac Ezra (now
under arrest in Hong Kong
who contacted merchant sea-
men and provided heroin to
be smuggled into San Fran
cisco on their bodies or in the
false bottoms of ornately
carved camphorwood chests
common souvenirs.
