No Way to Pay

Although the Treasury describes
the efforts OF civilians to aid In the
capture Of law violators as com
mendable, there is no way in which
it can remunerate those who ex-
tend such assistance for expeditures

Tho decision was based on a claim
by drug company in Valdosta, Ga,
which had spent s3.45 in telephone
tolls December 27 to advise the
narcotic agent at Atlanta Of the
whereabouts Of an alleged violator.
The information resulted in the
arrest Of the suspect, but other than
a note OF thanks the drug company
got nothinfi. the Treasury explain
ing that IL such payments were per-
mitted the government would have
no control over obligations assumed
for it by civilians.
