To Floor for Action

The Senate Labor Committee
today approved a bill to allow
drug addicts from the District

pulsory disqualification law
adopted last year.
The measure was approved in

amendments made by the Labor
Committee.
One amendment makes it man.
datory to return drug addicts to
court Jurisdiction. once they
have been deemed cured at the
hospital. Others corrected print
ing errors.
1t was because of the printing
errors that the bill did not come
up in the Senate last year. It
was passed by the House late in
the session, but the printing
errors made it impossible to
bring it before the Senate before
adjournment.
The compulsory hospitaliza-
ton law went in effect last
Christmas Eve. But enforce
ment awaits passage of the act
which would permit treatment
of addicts in the Federal Hos
pital at Lexington, KY.
The compulsory hospitaliza-
ton bill was drafted following
stories in The Star pointing to
the necessity for such a move.
1t received wide support from
police and civic groups.

Col. Schwable, who was cap

his confession" early in 1858
after months Of living in soli-
tary confinement in a tiny mud
hut, subsisting on the barest
food and being denied medical

Under questioning, Gen. Dean
said he knew that regulations
forbid disclosing anything more
than name, rank and serial
number, but that he had done so.
Signed No Documents.
He pointed to two documents
he had drawn up and signed
one a letter to the late Gen.
Walton w. Walker. 9th Army
commander, and the other a
statement which said that the
South Koreans were becoming
annoyed at American bombing
of their villages. The general
said he had done so because he
feared the Reds would force his
signature to damaging state
ments they had drawn up them
selves.
In the letter to Gen. Walker
he said he described his capture
and advised that the United
States confine its air attacks to
military targets. He said he
mentioned the latter because
lair was hitting a lot of bull
carts on the road but was not
getting the trains which were
switching in the yards in the
area" He added that he hoped
in this way to get information
of value to the United States
command.

Navy Secretary
May Get Post
Left by kyes
Anderson Viewed
As Favored Choice;
Stevens Sidetrucked

The name of Secretary of the
Navy Robert Anderson rode high
today in speculation on the adj
miniStration's choice of a sue
cessor for Roger B. Kyes in the
Defense Departments No. 2 job.
The White House and Penta-
gon announced Saturday Mr..
Kyes will leave the deputy Sec
retaryship May /.
Mr.. KyeS, interviewed at his
home near Detroit, emphasized
that his resignation has abso-
lutely nothing to DO" with the
recent clash between Army Sec
rotary Robert T. Stevens and
Senator Mccarthy Republican, of
Wisconsin.
Quick Decision Expected.
Pentagon sources indicated the
decision on a new deputy Sec
rotary already was made and
that announcement of his iden-
tity could be expected shortly,
perhaps by tomorrow.
While Mr.. Anderson's name
was mentioned prominently in
gueSSes today, it actually was
only one of several names of men.
both in and out of Government,
considered possibilities.
Those who talked of Mr.. And
erson, a Texas businessman and
rancher, figures it this way:
Secretary of Defense Wilson
repeatedly wanted to turn to the
service secretariat in picking a
man for the coming vacancy,
rather than disturb his team"
arrangement of assistant defense
secretaries.
In seniority and precedence.
the Army secretary normally
would rate first. But while the
White House and Pentagon have
backed Mr.. Stevens in the row
with Senator Mccarthy, they
may feel they could not promote
him to the deputy defense secre-
tary post without risking roper
russians.
Talbot Held Uncertain.
Air Force Secretary Harold
Talbot has been praised highly
and publicly by Mr.. Wilson for
his reorganization of procurement
programs and business admins
tration-but on at least one oc-
casion a comment attributed to
him produced diplomatic rippleS
abroad.
Mr.. Talbot last November 2
was quoted as saying, while on a
European tour. the proposed
United States air bases in Spain
eventually would have supplies
of atomic weapons if Spain
agreed.
Next day he denied making
the statement and Secretary of
State Dulles said there were no
such plans.
Anderson in Clear.
Mr.. Anderson, on the other
hand, is described as having the
same management Sagacity as
the other two service Secre-
taries-but has succeeded in
steering clear of embarrassment
like those suffered by Mr..
Stevens and Mr.. Talbot. Mr..
Anderson now has the benefit OF
more than a year of experience
in big Government business.
Although Pentagon talk was
heavily weighted toward selec-
ton of a man already in the
defense establishment, the pos
sibility that an outsider might
be asked to accept the job was
not precluded.
In this connection, there was
mention of such names as Paul
G. Hoffman, like Mr.. Wilson and
Mr.. KyeS a motor industry man
and a former foreign aid pro-
gram administrator, and of John
j. McCloy. New York banker
who has held important Govern
ment posts in Washington and
abroad during the last decade.

President Eisenhower told
Congress today that in a little
more than four years the United
States has given ST. billion
worth Of guns. ammunition and
other military equipment to
strengthen free nations against
the threats of Soviet power.
The weapons supplied, he said.
included 30,792 tanks and COM
bat vehicles. 5,340 aircraft, COL
navy vessels and 2 million small
arms and machine guns.
The figures he disclosed in the
report on the Mutual Security
program covered the period from
the beginning Of military as
sistance in October. 1949, through
last December. He said that al
most so per cent of the total
was shipped during 1858.
Economic Gains Noted.
The report pictured many ma
tons as regaining economic
health and depending less on
American assistance.
But the President asserted that
"as long as the harsh threat to
world peace exists our country
will continue to shoulder the
heavy obligations of world
leadership"
He said that military assist
ance and economic aid programs,
though constantly revised, can
not be drastically cut without
undoing much of the rewarding
success which has been so
painstakingly and laboriously
achieved"
Grants and Loans Cut.
The President said that in
1949 the United States financed
about IS per cent of its total ex-
ports of non-military goods and
services by grants and loans, but
in 1853 only about Is per cent
was financed by such aid.
With respect to Indo-China.
the President said that the rate
of United States military ship
mentS in 1853 was so per cent
higher than in 1852. and he re-
called that the United States had
