AUAMANI OF REPORT

Pach of then carried a clnar plastic cylindrical containor onn and one-quarter inches in diareter and four aned one qaarter inches loug. The container was divided into tao roctions, ono of hich ras ono and onn-qunrtor inches long. The conter of the cireular partition (ivising, Whe tro srctions vas perforated by a smll hole. Other thi this the Baallor section hal no opening. The larger section was closod at the cnd avay from tho partition liy a friction lid the width of Whe tube diamator. In the larger section vas a collapsible tube rhich had been equipped with a neodle.

2. Tho agent stated that tho collapsible tuio contaived a dru; shich, when injected into any part of the body, would rendor Uhe victin cotpictoly amenable to Cuidanco of his captor for an irrlefinite period ol time. Tlo victim conlù walk, rtand eroet, and voul shot no ovidence of narconis.

3. Ono of the cylinders was turned over to a field laboratory,-and after a routine check of the common trugs, reported Wat they could not identify the material. The other cylinder, throngh:was turned over to an outsido company whose facilities and accorplishments in the drug field are unsurpassed. This coapany oxarined Ue aterial, and bave sivon a prelizinay rounri as follova:

a. There is a cortain anount of ono-eclled vouota'le conhanination.

b. There xere large qantiiica of a malorial shich vae idontified as calciun sulphate. Thorcfore the matorial is probably not a biological, and may be the calcius complex of an alkaloid.

l. The container was a clear plastic cylindrical container ono and one-quarter inches in diameter and four and onc-quarter inches long. This container was divided into two sections, one of which was one and one-quarter inchcs long. The center of the circular plate dividing the two sections was perforated ly a small hole. Other than this hole the smaller section had no oponing. The larger section was closed at the end away Irom the small perforation by a friction lid the width of the tube's diameter. In the larger section was a collapsible tube which had been equipped with a needle. Inside of the container were also some coffee colored spots which had a musty odor.

2. Inside was a collapsible tube supposed to contain a drug vhich, when injected into any part of the body, would renier the victim completely amenable to the guidance of his ccptor for an indefinite period of time. The victim could walk, stand erect, and would show no evidence of narcosis.

DETAILEDDESCRIPTION

A/B,I,3,5

[PAGE 7]
l. One cylinder was turned over to a. field medicel laboratory and the report of their analysis is below:

a. An unknown liquid, measuring, approximately 1.5 cc in volume was personallydelivered to the undersigned o/a 1l July l95l with request for analysis.

b. Request complied wilh and results are: as follows:

(1) Original volune - 1.5 cc After centrifugation - l.1 cc

(2) Reaction - slightly acid

(3) Fujiwara. test for Chloral Hydrete and Chloroform Negative (o.L cc material used)

(h) The remaining fluid and thc sediment were tested separately for the following:

. (a) Barbiturates - Negative

(b) Salicylates - Negative

(c) Atropine, cocaine, colein, quinine, strychnine - Negative

(d) Morphine, theobromino, apomorphine - Negative.

2. The other sample was submitted to a drug company whose facilities and personnel are outstanding. Their report is as follows:

a. Examination of the tube under ordinary and under ultra\~ violet light shows no marking or label.

b. ldentificətion of the material in the collapsible tube was impossible due to inadequate sample. The tube contained largely air. Existing material wes dried out and had apparently undergone sone decomposition, however, two droplcts of liquid were extruded.

c. The following facts wore doveloped as a result.of certain standard procedwres.

EXAMINATION

[PAGE 8]
(1) Mieroscopic examination:

(a) Present was a large amount. of one-celled vegetable material; probəbly contamination.

(b) A large quantity of crystals of calcium salt was present. This indicated the matcrial was probably not a tiological but, might well be the calcium complex of a drugi such as an alkaloid.

(2) Ultra-Violot Àbsorbtion Specroscopic Examination with a Cary Recording Spuctrophotometer

(a) Sodium Larbital and Scopolamine had such different curves that they could be eliminated as possibilities.

(b) The material yielded a characteristic "shoulder" at 290 milli-microns.

(c) This curve obtained was not similar to any known drug.
