This was announced today by III. y.
Hayward. secretary of the federal
narcotics control board, who explain

import had been temporarily sus-
pended.
The drastic step was taken, Mr.. Hay

the legal Importation of an ounce of
narcotics until the board can deter
mine the amount needed by the United
States during the year for medical
or others legitimate uses"
