NARCOTICS (Continued train Page tine) people became lifelong addicts because they were given cough sirups containing opiates while they were babies. Around 1914, when federal controls were .enacted, there was one dope addict in every 400 in the genera] population. Anslinger said addiction dropped thereafter to one in a thousand and now it is about one to every three thousand. Anslinger pointed out that while dope addicts are on the decrease generally, addicition "is definitely on the increase in New York, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Washington, Ray ton, Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans, and pretty much all over Texas and California. There was some flare-up in Seattle.” Anslinger said about 100-nar-cotics peddlers were apprehended in Pennsylvania in January. He termed New Jersey “not too much of a problem.”

The worst damage of the storm occurred in Fort Wayne which suffered from high winds as well as the lightning, rain and hall. Several people in the Fort Wayne area were injured during the storm which knocked over house trailers, tore the roof from a frame home, flooded underpasses, streets and basements and brought down electric power lines. The northern part of Adams county which is serviced by the Indiana and Michigan Electric Co. was without power for several hours because of damage to a 33.000 volt line between the Lincoln and Deoatur rt sbbs:;Me>n.s of. fife company. Traffic on several Fort Wayne streets was completely blocked. The extremely heavy hail clogged sewers and prevented the draining of the water from the streets. Wayne also reported much damage to windows and autos from the hail. In parts of the city the hail piled up to depths of over six Inches.

Urges Construction Os Evacuation Roads Trenches, Shelters Scored By Senators WASHINGTON (INS) — Senators cold-shouldered today the idea of building ‘open trenches” or concrete pipe H-bomb shelters along roads for civil defense and urged instead an immediate start on construction of evacuation highways. Members of the senate armed services subcommittee proposed also that the administration increase the funds it is asking this year so that protection from radioactive hydrogen bomb "fall-out” can be started. . Civil defense administrator Vai Peterson disclosed late Thursday that his 59 million dollar appropriations request does not cover fallout problems. Sen. Stuart Symington (D Mo.), said the request "for the protection of our entire civ.lian population” is Only about one-tenth of one per cent of that of the military. Peterson said more money, might be sought ii> a supplementary appropriations bill. Sen. Leverett galtonstall (R Mass.), said he would prefer a budget bureau review of the entire evacuation problem. The idea of building ditches or concrete —pipe—shelters arns advanced by Peterson, but Saitonstall protested: „ - - 'I don’t see how ditches or a concrete pipe would be feasible. I can’t see myself getting into a concrete pipe without getting claustrophobia ... I would be going one way in the pipe and somebody would be coming in the other direction.” Seh. Henry Mr Jackson (D Wash.), said of the trench-pipe idea: “That is tommy rot.” Jackson declared that evacuation highways should be a major part of the road construction bill now before the senate public works committee. Sen Estes Kefauver (D Tenn.), chairman of the civil defense sub committee, agreed. He said: “The evacuation part ought to be the first part built. Until that is taken care of, the point of shelters is acadamic.”

Fort Wayne Society To Present Oratorio The Fort Wayne Lutheran choral society’s 80-voice chorus will present Bach’s oratorio, "The Passion of Our Lord According to St. Matthey,” Sunday, March 27, 2:30 p. m. in the Scottish Rite Auditorium, 411 West Berry Street,' Fort Wayne. The choral society performed tills musical masterpiece for the first time in 1948 as a highlight of the obsei vance of the Lenten season, and has now established the tradition of performing the Passion work annually on the Sunday two weeks before Easter as a part of the pre-Easter meditation for the community and Northern Indiana. IMPASSE OVER _ (Continued from Page One) passe was the main subject of behind-scenes activity, there was plenty of on-the-floor action Thursday. The $22 million left over from World War II bonus payments appeared to be wrapped, tied and about ready for delivery to I Korean veterans and next-of-kin, and to needy school corporations. Sen. pbnrad said an effort would be made today to pass to third reading, under suspension of rules, an ex panded Korean bonus bill. The senate military and veterans affairs committee headed by the Monticello Republican, Thursday afternoon reported out an amended form of house bill 11. The new form provides for a bonus to.lndiana residents who served in the Korean theater between June 27, 1950 and January 1, 1955 amounting to sls per month of service. Also provided is payment of S6OO to totally dis- > abled Indiana veterans and to next-of-kin of deceased servicemen or women of all theaters-who served during the same period. The bill represents a better deal than the house offered, because it lengthens the time and includes military service anywhere for the disabled and deceased. New’ York — Annual number of hospital admissions increased from 57 per 1,000 population in 1934 to 126 per 1,000 in 1953, marking one of the lop numerical gains in medical nistory.

Sergeant Sentenced For Aiding Captors Veteran Sergeant Is Found Guilty FORT BRAGG, N. C/itNS) — Master Sergeant William H. Olson was sentenced Thursday for collaborating with Red Chinese captors, and declared “I’d rather be shot than have a dishonorable discharge.” The 40-year-old army veteran was sentenced to a dishonorable discharge, to forfeiture of all pay and allowances and to a total of two years at hard labor by a general court martial at Fort Bragg. He had been found guilty Wednesday night of collaborating with the Communists while a prisoner of war in North Korea. Olson wihced visibly when the sentence was read, but saluted and left the room tinder guard without further show of emotion. It was later that the native of Youngsville, Pa., told newsmen: “I think the sentence is pretty roughJ»a».e.icul'arly the ds<honorable discharge. To me a dishonorable discharge means total and complete disgrace.” Olson was found guilty on two charges after the tribunal deliberated more than nine hours. Another three 1 hours deliberation Thursday morning preceded announcement of the sentence. Both his conviction and sentence are subject to automatic review by the commanding general at Fort Bragg and in Washington. Olson, a veteran of 26 years in the army, became eligible for retirement on half-pay last January, 4 benefit wiped out by the courtmartial action. He was found guilty on one charge of “falsely swearing’* that he had not collaborated with the Reds and a second charge of actual collaboration with his captors. Under the second charge, he was convicted of having made a Christmas Day 11959, speech that was anti-American and pro-Commu - hist; of making other speeches praising enemy treatment of the POW’s; and of writing articles for publication in the prison camp newspaper. Olson was acquitted of a count that he informed on two marine enlisted men in the camp and that he requested other POWs to sign a so-called “peace appeal.” NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION ■ Estate No. 3042 , In the Adams Circuit Court of Adams Coitoty, Indiana.
