USE BLAMED ON

Many Addicts Trained in
habits in Hospitals, Says
Inspector Grant.

by Harris 4 Ewing.

Army doctors who "doped up
wounded war veterans with NOR
phine and other powerful narcotics,
to relieve intense pain. are respon-
sible for the alarming increased
number OF drug sddicts In Wash
ington.
In making this statement today.
Inspector Clifford l.. Grant. chief
Of detectives, FASTENED to assert
there is no organized dope ring
i'm the Nations Capital"
Upon the discharge of the wound
ed veterans from army hospitals.
they Joined the small army OF
drug addicts which have made
Washington their home for several
years. Grant said.
Inspector Grant exonerated the
druggists OF this city from blame
in connection with the increased
number of drug addicts.
while not blaming the drug
gists," Grant continued. II do
blame INSCRIPTIONS physicians
who promiscously prescribe marco
tics for dope fiendr. Just as some
prescribe whiskey for a man who
really does not need Il. 90 with the
physician who makes out prescrip-
tions for the drug addict.
"A significant thing about the
dope situation is that the peddlers
never use narcotics. They take
advantage OF the poor unfortunates
and in many cases eXtort from
them.
IAN instance OF what effect dope
has on an individual was demon
strated not long ago when an ad-
dict went into q bank and at
tempted to make away with sew
eral thousands Of dollars. He had
the largest amount Of dope in his
possession that was ever discovered
on any one person arrested in this
city. He could eat half a cube OF
the dope and just get the desired
effect. The ordinary man would
have died in half an hour IL he
consumed such an amount"

F|REOvERRENT
CASE APPEALS
Congressman Millspaugh's In
terrogation Of Brown En-
livens Hearing.

Chaplin Brown. attorney for the
District Rent Commission. today pro.
posed sending appeal cases from the
commission to the District Supreme
Court instead OF to the Court Of Ap-
peals in hearings on extension of ths
Ball rent law before the House Dis.
trict committee.
Mr.. Brown declared that action Of
such cases would be closed in three
months in the District Suprems
Court. whereas the Court OF Appeals
docket is SO full that eleven months
sometimes elsps before landlord snd
tenant cases are edjudicated.
Congressman Millspaugh, who
sharply questioned Brown through
out the hearing as to the integrity OF
the rent commission. intimated at
this juncture that the Court of Ap-
peals was not in sympathy with The
rent commission. Brown replied that
the judges in the District Supreme
Court were honest to a man and the
Jurisdiction Of the latter court was
less confined than that OF the Court
Of Appeals.
Reed Criticizes Questions.
The questioning of Mr.. Brown
went forward under the direction OF
Congressman Hammer. The charac.
ter of the questions asked of the wit.
ness by Congressman Millspaugh
drew a sharp rebuke from Chairman
Reed, who ordered the interrogation
to proceed without so much. argu-
ment.
Under questioning by Congressman
Hammer. Mr.. Brown admitted that
he had raised the rent of q house
owned by him from $3.50 to S56.
That's a pretty good raise, isn't
it?" asked Congressman Hammer.
Mr.. Brown replied that he owned
the house for more than twenty-five
years, that sevetal repairs had been
made, and that the tenants were
willing to meet the increase.
He suggested that the rent com.
mission be empowered to fix rentals
annually for apartment hotels, prior
to March l of each year, and was
reminded that such action would in
dicate a permanent rent commission.
and that the extension asked for in
the rent law was only two years.
Mr.. Brown stated that continuance
of the Rent Commission for two years
would result in a minimum of rent
litigation. He said that more than
300 cases are before the commission
at present.
