at about 100000 in value are
finally dispensed by the dope peddIer
at $2OO,OOO,OOO or more.
Last year federal narcotic agents
seized no less than II 900 ounces or

this was European made.
An effort is to be made to check

event the county withdrew from
the campaign, he declared no such
eVentuality was probable; that the
state and federal authorities were
not viewing the situation hypothetic-
ally and were prepared to carry on.
He declared that the Authorities
had been very lenient in the past,
but had found that leniency was
not practical when there we're those
