Senator Daniel, Democrat of
Texas and chairman of the Sen
ate Judiciary Narcotics subcom-
mittee, declared yesterday that
Washington has more dope adj
diets per capita than any other
city in the Nation. Only four
States have more than the Dis
trict, he said.
Ralph D. Pittman was re-elect-
ed president of the Washington

after Senator Daniel spoke at a
luncheon in the Ambassador
Hotel.
Senator Daniel said. wash

day proposed a viewpoint plan
for ending violence in Algeria.

Queen Elizabeth May Get
Invitation to Visit Russia

LONDON. May % R.-Two
London newspapers speculated
today that an exchange of let
tiers between Queen Elizabeth II
and Soviet President Klementi
Voroshilov might lead to an in

Moscow.
The monarch's message to
Russia's figurehead chief Of state
Expressed "best wishes for your
good health and the fiourishing
of the Soviet peoples" It was
signed "Your good friend, Queen
Elizabeth"
The message replied to a note
Marshal Voroshilov sent the
Queen when Premier Bulganin
and Communist Party Head Nj
kita Khrushchev visited Britain
last month. Moscow broadcast
the texts of both messages.
Bid to Queen Probable
Disclosure of the correspond
ence led the Daily Mail and the
Daily Sketch to suggest that the
Russians might follow through
with an invitation to the Queen
and her husband, the Duke OF
Edinburgh, to visit the Soviet
Union.
The sketch quoted unnamed
diplomats as believing "secret

The governor declined to COM
ment on a brief hunger strike
Archbishop Makarios staged
about two weeks ago. saying he
was acting in all matters under
strict instructions from the Co
lonial Office in London. It is
understood, however, that the
archbishop was indignant over
the new security measures and
long delays in delivery of mail
to him, caused by censorship.
The Colonial Office said in
London that the archbishop had
quit eating to protest his treat

Daniel added.
Shocked at Situation
I'VE were shocked and sur
prised to find the narcotics sit
uation in our country as bad
as it is" he said. The most
dangerous crimes in the United
States are committed by dope
addicts. he added.
Communist China is using
dope sales to earn American
money and also demoralize the
American people, Senator Daniel
said.
G. Lawrence Keller, president
Iof the National Association of
Citizens Crime Commissions,
told the Criminal Justice Associ-
alton, There is an almost
constant flow of mobsters and
iracketeers into your CITY,"
MI. Keller said the racketeers
come to Washington to talk to
public officials. He urged the
association to keep an eye on
the visiting racketeers and
promised that other cities crime
commissions would keep an eye
ION the racketeers after they re-
/ turned home.
/ The Washington Criminal
Justice Association should add

Petroleum Retailers
Open Convention Here

The National Congress of Pc
troleum Retailers opened its con-
vention business sessions today
concerned particularly with ef-
forts of gas station operators to
establish themselves as inde-
pendent businessmen.
The 10th annual convention is
being held at the Shoreham Ho-
tel. It comes to an end Friday
might with the annual banquet.
Registration, which began
yesterday, had reached $50 from
81 States today and it is ex-
pected to total 500 by tomorrow
night.
One of the chief aims Of the
service station operators is to
win longer leases on their sta
lions from the petroleum COM
panies. The present leases of six
months to a year are designed
to make the station operator
docile in dealing with the big
company owning the station,
according to william D. Snow,
general counsel of the organiza-
ton. The National Congress has
its headquarters in Detroit.
Mr.. Snow said only five of the
% major companies give three
year leases, and only one gives
them on other than q limited
basis.
Another problem is referred to
as "TBA pressures." That is, the
companies granting the leases
want to specify which tires
batteries and accessories the sta
ton operator shall handle while

Rise il Pullman Rates
Would Affect Everyone

in coach fares, but what's a 5
per cent hike these days?
! If the As per cent rise is
granted, these are the probable
consequences:
l. Almost all other railroads
will ask large increases in Pull
man fares.
Traffic Pattern Scramble
2. More traffic will be pushed.
toward coach travel, buses and
airlineS.
8. With fewer passengers. the
Pullman company itself will have
to raise its prices for berths,
meals. drinks and services.
4. This will tend to make
first-class travel prohibitive, ex-
cept for those in fear of bus and
plane travel. or who must take
more baggage with them than
buses or planes permit.
5. The cost of sending buyers
to major markets. and of send
ing statesmen on the road, will be
increased considerably.
6. If the rise kills off Pullman
traffic completely, railroads will
have to charge more of their
track maintenance, station facil-
tiles, signal system operation,
executives salaries and other op-
Grating costs to their freight
systems. This will inevitably
mean higher freight rates.
I Z. Higher merchandising costs.
plus higher freight rates. will
mean higher prices for almost
everything you buy.
Il Railroads in Trouble
The railroads have "a good
case. Almost no road appears to
be making money on its Pull
man fares. Some roads might
be better off if they handed
Pullman applicants a coupon
good for half price on an air.
line. Or, if the Government
permitted, to buy up some air.
lines.
But the good case for the rail-
roads is clouded by the fact that
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission dictates their method
of keeping books. For instance,
they have to allocate to track
maintenance the same amount
for one passenger. as they allo-
cate for one 150-pound bag of
sand. In reality, the roads may
be losing a lot less than they
think on Pullman traffic-or a
lot more.
The Nation needs the rail-
roads as a segment of national
defense, as the last war showed.
If there is another war, the
Nation will need the railroads
even more. 1t will need them for
moving personnel as well as
materiel. The answer to the
present problem may be the
setting UP Of a system Of sub
sides, such as is enjoyed by the
air lines.
Perhaps that's what the rail-
roads have in mind.
