Cracking Down on Drugs '
. Congress is being urged to adopt anti-narcotics
measures even more stringent than laws against sub
version, treason, and espionage.
A bill unanimously approved by the Senate Judic
iary Committee on May 14 would provide death sen
tences for some narcotics offenders and outlaw all use
of heroin. It would permit juries to impose the death
penalty on persons convicted of selling heroin to ju
veniles and on three-time offenders in heroin smug
gling and peddling. It would require sale of all heroin
legally held by doctors to the government.
Legislation equally drastic is coming up in the
House. A Ways and Means subcommittee on May 8
unanimously agreed to recommend :
1) Increasing both minimum mandatory sentences and
maximum permissible sentences for traffickers in narcotics
'' and marihuana;
2) More severe penalties for adult traffickers selling to
minors. ' I
3) An Increase in maximum permissible sentences in all ,
cases; -
4) Removal of suspension of sentence and probation for
traffickers; .
5) Granting of immunity from prosecution to witnesses;
6) Permitting the use of wiretapping information in nar
cotics and marihuana cases;
7) Increasing federal control of barbiturates and amphe
tamines. DILLS to implement this agreement have been pour
ing into the hopper. Some apply directly to nar
cotics and marihuana; the others, to barbiturates and
amphetamines.
For contrast, only the Atomic Energy Act of 1946
applies the death penalty to peacetime espionage.
(The Rosenbergs were executed in 1953 for wartime
activities which violated the Espionage Act, of 1917).
However, Congress in 1953 extended the drastic war
time espionage-sabotage penalties, including the
death penalty, for the duration of the Korean em
ergency and six months thereafter.
An immunity law adopted by Congress in 1954
limits such grants to witnesses whose testimony may
be needed in cases affecting the national security.
Even so, congressional committees or U. S. attorneys
must petition federal courts for the right to grant
immunity from prosecution.
The House in 1954 voted to authorize wiretappine:
in national security cases,
Lrenerai .Herbert Urownell,
amendment prohibiting wiretapping unless authoriz
ed by a federal court, and that provision made the
legislation unacceptable to the Justic Department.
THE Senate Crime Investigating committee headed
ujf ucu. uotca ivcxauvci j.ciu.1. j ill jl&oi uigcu
immunity grants to key witnesses in federal cases,
also penalties of 20 years to life, without probation,
for adults peddling narcotics to youths under 17.
No action was taken on these recommendations,
but at the same session Congress did put through the
Boggs Act tightening penalties for violations of the
Harrison Narcotic Act of 1914. The measure made
prison sentences of from two to five years mandatory
for second, offenders; sentences of 10 to 20 years on
third or subsequent convictions.
Some opposition to stiff er penalties for drug ped
dlers is based on the theory that the stiffer the penal
ties the less likely juries will be to convict. The Fed
eral Bureau of Narcotics, however, reports that ex
perience under the Boggs Act has not supported that
theory.
Federal Narcotics Commissioner Harry J. An
slinger continues to maintain that the drug trade can
best be curbed by putting the convicted trafficker out
of business for longer periods of time. E.R.R.
False War Alarms
. A new book "The Air Force", by Arnold Bro
phy tells how, on one night in the spring of 1952,
President Truman was called from bed and told that
World War III had started. Four vapor trails of un
known planes had been sighted over , an island off
Alaska ; then all communication lines to Alaska went
dead. .
"The Presidenjt and the Joint Chiefs qf Staff were
informed by ranking Air Force officials that a full
scale enemy air attack on the U. S. had been launch
ed that enemy bombers carrying atomic weapons
were approaching key American cities." Author Bro
phy says the Air Force removed the "classified tag"
from this story at his request.
THERE was an earlier incident of the kind of which
less is publicly known. It was referred to in the re
port of a task force of the first Hoover Commission.
In the spring of 1948, said the report, "a mistaken in
telligence estimate prepared by a departmental in
telligence agency stimulated recommendations which
if followed might well have had serious conse
quences." The Army and the Navy denied responsibility for
that blunder and the Air Force was exonerated by
the Secretary of Defense. Fortunately, President Tru
man wanted to be sure. He waited for confirmation
in each case before ordering any warlike action by
the U.S. armed forces. E.R.R. ...

ANOTHER SOVIET
INITIATIVE
Returning to Washington aft
er two weeks in London and
Paris, I cannot help feeling that
we may be
missing one
of the main
points of the
Soviet decision
to demobilize
a million men.
"I do not
think," said
. .. xjao picas wuii-
w alter uppmann ference on
Tuesday, that "what the Soviet
Union is here doing ... is cal
culated appreciably to alter
their . military p o w e r." Mr.
Dulles was implying that for
this reason the Soviet move had
no bearing upon the military
policy of the NATO countries.
Since the Soviet military power
will be just as great as before
the reduction, the menace to be
guarded against will be just as
great as ever.
This is not, I believe, the way
the Soviet announcement will be
read in Western Europe. The
question there is more likely to
be this: If the Soviet Union can
demobilize something like a
quarter of its. men under arms
and still be just as powerful as
ever, how many men could be
demobilized or, in the case of
the Germans, not conscripted
without making Western Europe
less secure.
TrIE more it is proved by Mr.
Dulles that the Soviets have
lost . nothing by economizing
military manpower, the more
impressive will be the example
tney have set. For Britain,
France and Germany are short
of industrial manpower. Mili
tary service is regarded as a
wasteful and tiresome thing.
The action of the Soviets win
be judged not so much as a ges
ture for peace but to see wheth
er it is an example of military
realism.
The question is whether in
the revolution of military tech
nology amidst which we are liv
ing, the Soviet Union is seizing
the initiative in the strategical
thinking about that revolution.
There has been much discussion
here in Washington as to wheth
er the Soviet Union has a lead
in certain fields as for exam
ple guided missiles. But what
we need to ask ourselves also
is whether the Soviet Union is
adapting its high policy more
quickly than we are to the new
military developments.
THE Soviets have been ahead
of us in realizing the political
consequences of what happened
in 1949 when they broke our
monopoly and began to develop
nuclear weapons. They saw, as
our official policy-'makers so
long refused to see, that the un
avoidable consequence would be.
Illustrated
Social Secu
At Level of
By GERALD RENNER
United Press Correspondent
Washington U.R) If par
ents are foggy about how the
Social Security law works they
might clear things up by peek
ing through their children's
comic books.
The government recently pub
lished one entiUed "John's First
Job."
The Social Security division of
the Department of Health, Edu
cation and Welfare prepared the
book to describe in simple terms
the benefits under T?deral Old
Age and Survivors Insurance. A
spokesman for the department
said the illustrated book is di
rected mostly to teen-agers.
' But for any of the nine out of
10 working Americans who come
under the Social Security re
tirement program the book may
be helpful.
With "A Look into the Fu
ture," the book points out that
by 1975 twice as many people
or a total of about 16,500,000
will be receiving monthly bene
fits. Nearly 93,000,000 people
will be insured under the law
compared with about 71,000,000
insured at the beginning of
1956.
How It W,orks
The first of two personalized
stories illustrates the steps .a
high school ' graduate takes to
find employment and obtain a
Social Security card. The other
story shows how the law affects
an aging farmer and his family.
The department spokesman
said the multi-colored picture
book is an expiremental one and
is being sent to district Social
Security offices around the
country for distribution upon
request. It was printed in April
and is the first of its kind.
Benefits Broken Down

the book breaks down the bene

the growth of neutralism in all
countries that do not themselves
possess nuclear weapons. It
could not have been otherwise.
When a country is unarmed for
modern nuclear warfare, when
it has no deterrent power and
no defensive power, it must
move towards a neutral position
between the nuclear powers.
The Soviets saw this and very
promptly made their own the
encouragement of neutralism.
This piece of military realism
on their part has increased enor
mously their political influence
in Asia. We have just begun to
come around to it in the past
few months. In the visit of Presi
dent Soekarno of Indonesia and
the coming visit -of Pandit
Nehru, we are beginning to try
to repair the damage of an ill
judged policy.
Thanks to Churchill's genius,
the West was ahead of the So
viets in realizing the political
consequences of the second mili
tary revolution, that of the hy
drogen bomb. This second revo
lution has led us to the acknowl
edgement at the summit meeting
in Geneva that the great nuclear
powers themselves are in a mili
tary stalemate and that they can
not contemplate war as an in
strument of their policies.
.-
1I7E ARE now in a third phase
of this evolution in strategi
cal thinking. It has to do pri
marily with the adaptation of
Western European military poli
cy to the military stalemate
which was acknowledged at Ge
neva. The NATO army is in
trouble because of a growing
skepticism as to whether it .re
flects a right estimate of the
coming military situation. I was
surprised to find how far this
skepticism has gone, how deep
is the questioning in high quar
ters abroad as to the true mili
tary value of much 'that never
has been questioned before.
As an example of how drastic
the re-examination is, there is
serious thought being given in
Great Britain to the abolition
of Fighter Command of the
glorious service which in 1940
won the Battle of Britain. The
argument today is that Britain
cannot be 'defended successfully
by interceptors against modern
super-sonic bombers. The re-examination
does not stop there.
It has begun to reach out to
wards the ground forces in West
ern Germany.
It is against this background,
I believe, that the Soviet action
needs to be interpreted. The
question is not really whether
the Soviets are beguiling and
deceiving us but whether they
are going to persuade Western
Europe that they know . how to
show the way- to. security- and
prosperity. Certainly in this mat
ter of reducing military person
nel, the door on which they are
pushing is already ajar.

In the Day's News

As this is written, it is appar
ent that Douglas McKay has won
the Republican nomination for
U.S. senator from Oregon against
Phil Hitchcock. He is ahead so
far in 24 of Oregon's 36 coun
ties, including big Multnomah,
and has a lead of nearly 30 per
cent. '
. It was a clean, gentlemanly,
sportsmanlike contest, in. the
best Oregon tradition, and there
seems to be no reason why Ore
gon Republicans can't get to
gether behind McKay this fall
to defeat Senator Morse who,
as expected, won the Democratic
nomination decisively.
rTVHE issue in the Oregon sena-
torial election this faU will
be sharp and clean-cut. These
will be the alternatives:
Shall we support the Eisen
hower policies?
Or shall we oppose the Eisen
hower policies?
McKay is a devoted and dedi
cated follower of. Ike. Senator
Morse, on the, basis of his past
record, will oppose Ike at every
turn of the road.
PHIL Hitchcock has nothing to
feel bad about. As a new
comer to statewide politics in
Oregon, he made a splendid per
sonal showing. He has definitely
established himself as senatorial
timber for future elections.
OREGON Democrats gave their
flat and positive and unmis
takable endorsement to Gover
nor Stevenson as the Democratic
Presidential nominee. Their en
dorsement of him is all the more
positive because of the favor
they showed to Senator Kefau
ver four years ago.

Matter of Fact By Joseph AIsop
THAT RECAPTURED
INITIATIVE
Baghdad, Iraq Every so oft
en, the Bewildered traveller
stumbles upon an episode of
American for
eign policy
making so
strange and
apparently ir
rational that it
poses the ques
tion whether
we have any
policy at all.
Such is the
story of the
This defensive

Baghdad Pact,
alliance among
Iran, Pakistan
one of the hottest
potatoes in
the Middle East which is so
full of hot potatoes that the area
sometimes makes you think of
one vast potato roast. , .
And the first thing to note
about this major Middle Eastern
hot potato is that the primary
responsibility for the pact clear
ly lies in Washington.
It is all but impossible to re
sist the suspicion that the real
reason for Washington's original
sponsorship of the Baghdad Pact
was the hankering for some Mid
dle Eastern development that
could be advertised as proof of
a "dynamic new foreign policy",
a "recaptured initiative." The
hankering was strong in the
early days of the Eisenhower
administration, before world
events began to catch up with
the Madison Avenue phrase
makers.
TT LOOKED good on paper to
-1 link up the so-called Northern
Tier of Middle Eastern states
in an alliance against Soviet ag
gression. To be sure, the real
danger in the Middle East was
not and is not Soviet aggression.
Instead, the real danger here
is, was and always has been
internal subversion and Soviet
political chicane.
To be sure, all the prospective
Baghdad Pact states already had
military and economic aid agree
ments with the United States
and close general relations with
the West. If they needed more
military power, therefore, the
machinery already existed for
providing it. All the same, it
made a fine headline when the
first news of the pact was pub
lished at home. Our "recaptur
ed initiative" was mentioned
with gratifying frequency in the
ensuing editorials.
In this early period, the Unit
ed States took the lead in en
couraging Iraq and Turkey, the
first signers of the pact, to get
together to establish the North
ern Tier defense system. As
Washington observers with good
memories will recall, the State
Department in those days
haughtily accused the British of
"dragging their feet." And at
that time, the present American
Ambassador to Iraq, Weldemar
Gallman, was actually sent here
with instruction that securing
the signature -of the pact was
his most important mission
rpHEN Iraa and Turkev signed.
- Egypt's Nasser promptly ex-
election, let's not overlook the
unsolicited ' write - in ' approval
given by Oregon Republicans to
Vice-President Nixon. He didn't
ask for it. Nobody asked for it
in. his behalf. Oregon Republi
cans just went to the polls and
took their pens in hand and
wrote in his name as their choice
for vice-president. Of every four
Republicans who marked an X
before President Eisenhower's
name on the ballot one took the
trouble to write Nixon's name
in.
Vice-President Nixon and In
terior Secretary McKay have
been under' heavy Democratic
fire. In Friday's primary elec
tion, both were decisively en
dorsed by Oregon Republicans.
That, I think, is a good sign. It
indicates .that Oregon Republi
cans aren't running from a fight.
They have confidence in their
leaders, and are ready to stand
behind them.

in every price rang
ploded, partly because he gen
uinely regards the pact as West
ern imperialism in a new guise,
and partly because he disliked
the leading role accorded to
Iraq's Nuri Pasha. AU the same
Pakistan came in. The unimagi
native British foot dragged, then
signed up too, perhaps because
they could find no other way to
maintain their established treaty
relations with this country. And
last came Iran.
In Washington, however, pre
sumably because of Nasser's at
titude and the Israeli dislike of
the new pact, the recapturers
of the initiative were now blow
ing on their finger nails in an
embarrassed manner and saying
who us?" when it was sug
gested the new pact was their
work. This ostentatious Ameri
can tepidity towards the pact
was rather prolonged.
If the State Department had
followed up its first initiative
with boldness end decision, oth
er Arab states might well have
joined the pact. Then the posi
tion of one of the West's best
friends in the Middle East, Prime
Minister Nuri Pasha, would be
great deal easier today. In
any case, the American tepidity
in itself rather gravely under
mined Prime Minister Nuri's
position. This deeply alarmed
the British. British protests
and representations, beginning
roughly with the Eden-Eisenhower
meeting in Washington,
then caused the dawn of the
third or present period of Amer
ican pact policy.
IN THIS period, warning of the
need to help Nuri Pasha and
somewhat ungentle reminders of
the original American responsi
bility for the pact have driven
the State Department as far as
Darling Daughter" in the old
song. We have, in effect, taken
off all our clothes but have
not gone near the water. In oth
er words, we have joined the
anti - subversion and economic
committees of the Baghdad Pact,
but we have not joined the pact
itself.
There is only one trouble
about this strange intermediate
position. The expectation is uni
versal here in Baghdad, and it
is reportedly universal too in
the Turkish, Iranian and Pakis
tani capitals, that the United
States wul join the pact as . a
fuU member after the election.
If we do not then join the pact,
the resulting disappointment
will deeply damage the whole
Western position in the Middle
East
One might say that if this
represents "recapturing the ini
tiative," then this famous phrase
needs a . new dictionary defini
tion. Maybe it might be trans
lated as "making the worst of
both worlds," , with "falling be
tween two stools" as an alterna
tive rendering.
