By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 31—The Senate Crime Committee called for action at all social levels today to combat the “revolting” narcotics traffic which offers organized crime a “most profitable opening.” In a final report on its 16month investigation of the nation's underworld, the committee termed the {liicit sale of narcotics “an evil of major proportions” and said law enforcement groups, legislators, educators and parents must join in the fight to L “1 it out. The committee suggested that & “clearing house” on crime be set up to circulate information on narcotics. It also proposed that the growing of opium-producing »3 be abolished throughout out the world.

The committee said it found the “same pattern of organized crime” in both large metropolitan
areas and in the smaller communities.

Increased enforcement staffs and stiffer penalties for violators. The| report emphasized the need for| an intelligent educational cam-| paign to tear back the “veil of secrecy” which permits young people to learn the “contagious disease of narcotics from the drug peddlers in the back streets and alleys.”
‘Startling Increase’
The nation, it said, has been *jolted to its foundations” in the past 24 months by the “startling increase in the abuse of drugs by young people.”
Noting big increases in under-| 3
age addiction in New York, Chicago, Baltimore and Washington, the committee said: “In a large number of cases, these young people were engaging in crime for the sole purpose of supporting their drug habit.”
Big City Crime
In a section entitled “Crime in Large Cities,” the report: ONE—Cited the “sensational testimony” of Irving Sherman, one-time friend and intimate of William O'Dwyer, that he left New York just before Mr.
O'Dwyer was elected mayor be- |i
cause a newspaper was expected to link Sherman to racketeers Frank Costello and Bugsy Siegel. Sherman said he left town at Mr. O’Dwyer’s request “and I thought enough of him to do it.”

that he is trying to “go Straight,” *hé has kept up his contacts with Siegel, E. J. Catena, | Willie Moretti and other associates whose activities “read like a ‘Who's Who’ in bigtime, interstate gambling.” : THREE — Said Gov. Fuller ‘Warren of Florida, who successfully defied a committee subpena to testify, on gambling in the state, “took the unusual position that while he would talk to the Senate Committee, he would not swear that his statements were the truth.” It noted that “such unsworn statements could not be the basis of perjury charges if they were found untrue.”
