Soldier Loses Appeal
On Dope Buying Charge

The appeal of soldier con-
victed of purchasing shot of
morphine from a Korean hospi-
tai was denied yesterday.
The Military Court of Appeals
affirmed the decision o. a board
of review in the case of Pvt.
Louis A. Smith, 81. of New Or
leans, who was sentenced to dis
honorable discharge and two
years in prison.
Smith was accused of purchas-
ing the injection from a nurse
at a Korean hospital in Sack
cho-ri. in November. 1852. The
court-martial heard testimony
from another soldier, who said
he took Smith to the hospital to
purchase the injection.
The second soldier, Pfc. Harold
E. Philips. said he had used the
drug before and knew it's effect.
Defense counsel. however,
argued in the appeal that Philips
description of the effect did not
coincide with known medical ex-
perience with the drug. He said
the two men had only the
nurses word that the solution
actually was morphine.

Virginia Senate Group Backs
Non-Con7nunist Oath Bill

The Senate passed a bill rails
ing from so cents to 81 the spe-
cial tags for automobiles
equipped with radio transmits
sion facilities. and another bill
to permit judges to authorize
forwarding travel money to wit
nesses in criminal cases.
The House Privileges and
Elections Committee deferred
action on Delegate Whitehead's
proposal to Junk the present
loyalty pledge" provisions of
Virginia's primary election laws.
He argued before the commit
tee that the present rule on
eligibility for participation in
primaries is a farce. His plan
would have each voter sign a
form before being given a bal
lot. This form would say the
voter is a member of the party,
is entitled to vote and would
list the voters address.
1t seemed apparent that the
bills for new courts and new
Judges for areas including
Northern Virginia would be
killed at a later meeting with
the judicial circuits left as at
present pending. the study.
Delegate Kathryn H. Stone of
Arlington urged the House APP
preparations Committee to invest
$4,000 a year in psychiatric
treatment for juvenile wards of
the State. She said the invest
ment would pay big dividends
in money and human happiness
in the years to come.

In Financing Plans

The Citizens Committee on
Public Works yesterday gave a
vote of confidence to the District
Commissioners for standing by
their original program for i'm
proving the city's physical plant
in the next 10 years.
Notwithstanding later congress
Sional proposals, the Commits
Sioners stand on their recon-
mendations for raising local
taxes by SO million and the
Federal payment by SO million
annually and asking Congress
to lend Sill million in Federal
funds.
The Senate-House District
Fiscal Affairs subcommittee does
not support this program. While
the subcommittee favors most
of the proposed tax-increase plan
and the full $40 million Federal
payment. the provision for $40
million in Federal loans awakens
but chill response.
AS its own remedy, the SUBJ
committee favorS raising the
real estate tax and extending
the sales tax to groceries and
to restaurant meals costing less
than SO cents.

John A. Reilly, chairman Of

day the proposed $305 million

sential and that some way must
be found for financing it,"
Mr.. Reilly said that he meant
by this, that the proposed loan
provision and the 50 million an

$11 million Federal payment
should be maintained.
1.-THE Commissioners have
fought hard for u.s." Mr.. Reilly
declared. 1--WE must wait and

The procedures Mr.. Reilly re-
