Addict Registration Urged
Another witness, Peter E. Ter
ranova, who headed the New
York City narcotics squad until
he retired last July, estimated
there were $4,000 known addicts
in New York as of last spring, but
he urged a law to provide for
registration of dope addicts SO
the true size of the problem
would be known. He also came
out strongly for regional hos
pitfalls supported by Federal and
States funds to provide hospital
ization for dope addicts.
Mr.. Terranova flatly opposed
free clinics for dope addicts on
the ground that 1t would encour-
age young people to become
addicted.
An earlier witness, Alfred
Lindesmith, sociology professor
at the University of Indiana. who
has just returned from studying
how addiction is treated in Eng
land. said that overseas, dope
addiction is regarded as a medi-
cal problem and doctors under
certain restrictions can prescribe
narcotics for incurable addicts.
A 29-year-old District man
yesterday told the subcommittee
that Alcoholics Anonymous had
cured him of drug addiction.
Former Herein Addict
The self-described former
heroin addict, who testified un-
der the pseudonym of paul
Taylor" told the subcommittee
he had touched no drugs for, five
years. He said that he has tried
to develop q program at Lorton
Reformatory to help others cure
themselves. He called the pro-
gram Narcotics Anonymous.
Numerically speaking, he told
the Senators, there have been
few recoveries from addiction
but the experience at Lorton
has been ''rewarding."
He said that he had found it

came the winner by about $4,000
votes.
Two Factors Favor Butler
Mr.. Mahoney is favored in the
city again this time, but these
two big factors not present in
1852 are working against him
now:
4 /. Whereas Senator BealI
comes from Frostburg, Senator
Butler is a native Baltimorear
and favored by Baltimore COM
mercial interests.
2. There are indications that
the Negro vote, which is about
20 per cent of the city total. will
continue q shift from Democrat
to Republican begun in 1854
Most County Negroes already
vote Republican.
The Mahoney leaders are
banking heavily on the support
of voters who resent the kind
of campaign Senator Butler used
to defeat former Democratic
Senator Willard E. Tydings In
1850.
Some Resentful Democrats
The Butler people are count.
ing just as heavily on votes
from Democrats who can't abide
by Mr.. Mahoney because they
feel he has been a party
wrecker" in his previous primary
bids for Governor and Senator
One Democratic stalwart said
however, he felt Mr.. Mahoney
would benefit the most from
these "anti" votes because "the
resentment against Senator But
Ter is one of principle. while
that against Mr.. Mahoney i
mostly irritation"
In the three most populouS
counties of the State-which
along with Baltimore City cast
about 70 per cent of Mary
lands vote-Mr. Eisenhower and
Senator Butler appear to be
stronger in Montgomery and
Baltimore Counties and the
Democrats seem to have the
edge in Prince Georges.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-21

he intends to step up his activity
in behalf of the Senator in the
next two weeks.
| He said that in addition to
continuing his joint appearances
with the Senator at political
gatherings. he will go on radio
and television to urge his re-
election.
The Governors support is par
ticularly important to Senator
Butler in Baltimore City, where
Mr.. McKeldin two years ago
overcame a 4-to-1 Democratic
registration majority and carried
the city by $4,000 votes.
Butler Victory Predicted
Gov. McKeldin, who came
within 5000 votes of predicting
his own 62,418-vote margin of
victory over DR.. H. C.. Byrd in
1854. forecast yesterday that
President Eisenhower would
carry Maryland by 10000 to 85,-
900 votes and Senator Butler
would win by about 10000 votes
Democratic leaders will moi
talk in terms Of vote margins
when asked about Mr.. Steven
sons chances in Maryland. Most
of them also say that he can
win, not that he will win.
The Democrats are hoping to
score heavily in the next 10 days
with a trio Of big names from
the National level.
On Saturday. Vice Presiden-
tial Nominee Estes Kefauver is
scheduled to hit Frederick, IT,
monium and Glen Burnie. On
Monday, october 30. House
Speaker Sam Rayburn is to ad-
dress a $100-a-plate fund-rais-
ing dinner in Baltimore.
The next day, State Demo-
cratic leaders hope to have Mr.
Stevenson himself in Baltimore
for a noontime address in front
of city hall.
President May Appear
Republicans have had Vice
President Nixon in the State
twice. and Secretary Of the
Treasury Humphrey spoke at
their 500 dinner Thursday
night. They also have a prob
able" appearance by President
Eisenhower scheduled for about
November /.
Mr.. Mahoney has predicted he
will carry the State by about
$4,000 and Baltimore City by
about 10000.
j Most observers feel he will
have to carry the city by about
10000 to win at all.
Mr.. Mahoney has never lost
the city in any of his four
Democratic primary campaigns,
and in his only general election
effort against Republican Sem
ator Beall four years ago, he
carried the city by about $4,000.

Mr.. Mahoney.
There is considerably less
doubt in the minds of most OBJ
servers about which way Mary
lands 8 electoral votes will go.
President Eisenhower seems to
have a decided advantage over
Democrat Adlai Stevenson. al
though it is doubtful that he
will pile up anything like the
104, 000-vote margin he came out
of Maryland with in 1852.
Interviews with key Republic
can and Democratic leaders also
indicate that there will be no
change in the 4-3 Democratic
advantage in Maryland's repre-
sentation in the House. Demo-
cratic incumbents are favored
for reelection in the Sd, 4th. 5th
and 7th congressional districts;
Republican representatives are
expected to be returned in the
LIST, I'd and 9Th districts.
Many Voters Undecided
Senator Butler. although he is
expected to run we'll behind
President Eisenhower, will pick
up enough Eisenhower coat

tWildlife Servlce
 Now Reorganized

Announcement was made last week in Juneau of reorganization in the administrative setup of the Wildlife section of the Fish and Wildlife Service.
 Regrouping and consolidation of wildlife management functions has been in process the past several months following separation of ad- ministrative direction of the com mercial fisheries from the game operations. Management of the commercial fisheries, including fishery research, has recently been reorganized under direction of Ad- ministrator Donald McKernan.
 Heading the wildlife section of the Service in Alaska is Clarence Rhode, who is now listed as Wild life Administrator instead of Re goinal Director. Rhode also acts as Executive Officer or the Alaska Game Commission.
 Service Enforcement Agents are being reassigned as Game or Fish cry Management Agents, most of them remaining in the Wildlife field. In addition to enforcement of regulations, these men are as- signed to a variety of jobs includ- ing game census, sealing beaver, banding waterfowl, hunter bag checks, transplanting of game and fish, and assisting with other wild life programs, including biological studies.
 Former Enforcement Supervisor Dan Rolston has been promoted to the position of Assistant Wild life Administrator. Assistant Sup ervisor c. D. Swanson becomes Chief, Division of Game Manage ment Predator work is headed by Maurice Kelly, while Henry Han- sen directs Waterfowl studies. A Division of Wildlife and Game Fish Restoration is now headed by U. c. "Peter Nelson. Nelson is as- sisted by Biologist Ed Whitesel. Also in this unit is the Wildlife Refuge Program headed by Dave Spencer of Kenai.
 "This arrangement brings all similar functions under one or the other of these two principal Divi- Sions," Rhode explained, land we think it will provide better coordi-
