BoIunce Sheet

What do these terms add up to?
From what was visible Of the truce
last week it seemed there were
enough holes in 1t to drive . fleet
of Molotov trucks through. Five
factors doomed large in the Red
triumph.
The partition gave the Wet Mini
strategic position, rice and coal.
How much of the Tonkinese popu-
lation the Reds, will get cannot be
predicted now. Some expect many
of the anti-C Communists. especially
the Catholics, in Northern Wet Nam
to migrate south, as happened in
Korea in the pre-1950 partition.
BY obtaining French, agreement
on holding all-Viet Nam elections
even two years from now-the COM
munists extracted q concession they
themselves have refused to give in
Germany or Korea, where they
stand to lose as the French stand
to lose In Wet Nam. Nothing in the
armistice can prevent Red cadres
from intensifying their political &C.
tivities throughout Wet Nam.
The composition and powers of
the supervisory commission, which
is to run both the armistice and the
elections. is another victory for the
Reds. Communist Poland can, cast
the Kremlin veto on any issue she
cares to claim threatens the truce.
Besides Poland, the Wet Mimi prob
ably will have India on their side
much more consistently than the
North Koreans did in 1858.
Naturalization of CGmbodia and
Laos leaves them weak and geo.
graphically hemmed in, ripe for
early picking either by subversion or
phony native uprising.
Possibly the biggest factor In the
Communist victory is an Intangible
one: The remaining free nations
Of Asia are now on notice that
Communism Is on the march, the
most powerful force on the con-
tinent today. The spectacle of the
West backing down before q limited
Communist offensive leaves the
people Of Asia no alternative but to
make their peace with the new Red
colossus Of the north.
About the best that the West can
hope to salvage out of the Indo-
China settlement, on the other hand,
is renewed proof that 1t has every
intention of making a /"real good
]. try" for peaceful co-existence with
the Communists. as Britain's Prime
Minister Winston Churchill advo-
Gates.
There also could be a gain in time,
during which the West could look to
its defense. But Britain and Amer
lea, at least, seem determined to
throw this opportunity away be-
tween them. While the United King
dom hangs back in forming South
east Asian alliance, the United States
persists in cutting its military forces.

FiIibuster

The Senate stayed in almost con-
tinuous session. night and day. from
10 am. Wednesday until late last
night. It was the longest sustained
effort by this self-styled greatest
deliberative body in the world" in
memory of the oldest hands. There
was only one Commute recess.
What was the greatest delibera-
tive body up to? 1t was more than
little hard to tell.
The pending bill was a revision
of the Atomic Energy Act. It would
permit private development of
atomic power and would share more
atomic information with foreign
countries.

But the President. instead. ordered
the Acc to contract with two private
power companies to buy power and
feed it into iva lines as replace

The private companies will build
new facilities at West Memphis, Ark.

Fourth Arrest Made
In Police Breakdown
On Illegal Narcotics

w lMeydl NdICONCS
A fourth arrest was made to-
day, in what a police official
termed only the beginning of
breakdown on Illegal narcotics
distribution.
The accused are a physician,
his nurse. a pharmacist and a
man described by Capt. Howard
r. Mowry, Metropolitan Police
narcotics chief. as a ''pusherr or
peddler.
The physician. DR.. Louis F,
Levitt. So. OF $3.50 Linnean av-
enue NV, who has been prac-
ticing for % years, was accused
OF Systematically furnishing
narcotics for q patient asking
only for relief from withdrawal
symptoms.
His nurse, Mrs. Hazel A. Nc
Keever, 80, Of the 200 block of
Rhode Island avenue NE, was
also charged with illegally dis
pensing drugs.
Pharmacist Named.
The third accusation named
by George H. Powell, so. of 2O25
I street NV, a pharmacist &C
the New Amsterdam Pharmacy,
2701 Fourteenth street NV. He
was charged with improperly
labelling drugs filled under DR..
Levitt'S prescriptions.
DR.. Levitt and Mrs. McKeever
were arrested in the doctors Of
flee at 2701 Fourteenth street
NV. DR.. Levitt's bond was.
fixed at $4,000 pending arraign-
ment September %. and Mrs.
McKeever's set at $1,000.

charged on four counts of forg-
ing narcotics prescriptions was
Ennis Foster, 40, alias Skinny"

street NV.
Filled 4 Prescriptions.
Capt. Mowry said Foster had
four prescriptions filed this week
at the New Amsterdam Phar-
macy, and that DR.. Levitt's name
was signed to them.
The police officials alleged
that Foster had been selling the
liquid drug for $25 to $50 for
80 cubic centemeters after buy
ing 1t for from $2.95 to $4.95.
He said Foster had denied that
charge.
The forgery charges were based
on a section Of the Federal Mar
cotics Act making it illegal to
obtain narcotics not. to be used
by the person for whom they
were prescribed.
Capt. Mowry. who said "only
the surface had been scratched"
in the illegal prescription prac-
tice. gave this account Of yes
terday's arrests:
With the assistance of the
American Medical Association,
efforts were begun to cut down
on easy acquisition of drugs. A
check of the New Amsterdam
stores files showed DR.. Levitt
had ordered as many as 20 mar.
cotics prescriptions there in o
day.
Name Of Known Addict.
One name that appeared often
was Mrs. Irma Fong, AZ. of the
$500 block of Thirtieth street
NV. a known addict now under
$500 bond on charges Of forging
q prescription.
Mrs. Fong agreed to make
three purchases under police
supervision. Before and after
each, a team of three physicians
examined her to attest that the
only reason for the injections
was toAallay withdrawal pangs.
After the prescriptions were
filled at the drug store, two Of
the injections were made by DR..
Levitt and the third by Mrs.
Fong.
The woman paid $40 for 80
Cos. of the drug plus $4.95 for
the prescription filling charge.

Consider Ease Of Maintenance When You Buy

It costs very little more-and
sometimes actually less-to build
a house that will be easy to
care for.
The do-it-yourself movement
that has been so much in the
news in recent years. sprang UP
because of the high cost of hir-
ing others to do work around
the house. BY the same token,
the average family cannot afford
to live in house which involves
expensive maintenance.
The family about to build or
buy a new house is in a good
position to prevent a lot of home
care and repair.
This can be accomplished by
starting with, the land-even be-
fore you plan a house. You can
get a lot of satisfaction out of
broad lawns and beautiful gar
dens-and if you like outdoor
work you'll get fun out of car
ing for them. But watch out.
Such dreams mean work and
work takes time and energy.
Keep your grounds within rea-
son. The average man, even with
a power mower, may find half
acre or more to be too much for
spare time care.
Design Is Important.
Then consider the design of
your house in terms of care and
upkeep. Are the rooms arranged
efficiently to avoid through traf-
f1c? 1t it. easy to pass from al
most any room in the house to
another without passing through
q third room? Will your carpets
wear out in spots within three
or four years? Are there enough
closets and other storage space
to prevent clutter?
There are many details in the
plan Of a house that can make
for happy and easy living. Are
bedrooms secluded as much as
possible for privacy and quiet? ?
Care and repair of your nerves
must be calculated. too. Is the
kitchen planned for step-saving
as well as adequacy. with re-
frigerator, sink and range in
logical order?
Is the back door, or other
service entrance located for
direct access to cellar or utility
room as well as to the kitchen?
When it's raining, can you drive
into your garage and get into
the house without being soaked
Are the windows big enough
for all the light and view you
want without requiring the serv-
ices OF window washing crew
every week or so?
