DRUG HABIT CURE
HIT BY OFFICIALS
New York Board Orders Use
of "Narcosan" Discontinued
on Welfare Island.
By the Associated Pres.

by tne ASsOt1dbeu HrPee.
ALBANY. n. Y. January 12-On
the grounds that the narcosan treat
ment is not a cure for drug addiction
and causes intense suffering" to pa
tents. the State Commission of Cor
rection has. recommended that the
treatment be discontinued in the pc
nal institutions on Welfare Island, It
was announced by the commission.
DIR. Edward H. Marsh, secretary of
the State Health Commission, stated
in report that he had questioned 10
addits under the narcoSan treatment
at Welfare Island and every one of
them had told him the suffering was
far worse than under any other treat
ment.
Condition Held Pitiable.
During the first three days OF
treatment" he said, 1.-The patients eat
nothing and the condition of those I
saw. who were at about the fourth or
fifth day, was pitiable. Their weak
ness and exhaustion were extreme"
Complete records of returned cases
were difficult to obtain. DIR. Marsh
said, but the warden admitted that
approximately Is persons who have
received the treatment since last April
ldu SLICE DSoH TeCOu1ulltIeQs
A letter from Dr. Matthias Nicoll,
jr., State commissioner of health, was
made public. 1t stated he advised dis
continuance of narcosan until a
really scientific study can be made
of it."
II think you will agree with me-"
Dr. Nicoll said, that your commits
sion cannot condone the use of a drug
which causes intense suffering to pa
tents and reduces them to a state of
physical weakness which is pitiable,
unless it can be definitely shown that
such patients in a large proportion of
the cases became free of the narcotic
habit. There is. to my mind. no proof
worthy of consideration that sucn IS
the case"
DIR. Nicoll said he was not able at
ratory analysis of 'narcosan" and ex-
pressed the opinion that the whole
matter demands a thorough investi-
cation, especially In view of the fact
that the use OF this drug in a public
institution was initiated and carried
into effect under circumstances which,
TO say the least. warrant the sus-
picion of financial rather than Their
apeutic interest on the part Of one
or more persons with whose identity
am not familiar"
The commissiog OF correction an
nounced IL would confer with DIR.
Nicoll as TO what further investigation
he may advise.

BUS AND CAR MERGER
SEEN AS FUTURE NEED
Covell Says Triangle Development
Will Force Vnifcation to Care
for Traffic.

Efficient transportation of the
thousands of Federal employees who
will be centered in the Pennsylvania
avenue triangle when the proposed
public buildings are erected. there, is
dependent on a merged operation of
the Washington traction and motor
bus companies.
According to Maj. w. E. r. Covell,
senior assistant District Engineer
Commissioner. and attache of the
Public Utilities Commission, this is
the conclusion reached by transpor-
tation experts studying the problems
which will arise in the triangle.
A meeting of these experts was held
late yesterday afternoon in the office
of Maj Covell. Among them were
Harland Bartholomew of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion, Maj. Cary H. Brown. assistant
to the director of public buildings and
public parks of the National Capital;
Traffic Director M. o. Eldridge and
his assistant, Col. 1. c.. Moller
The dual street car system, these
officials agreed, it was said, would
make 1t utterly impossible to provide
efficient and adequate transportation
service for those employees in the Fed
eral buildings grouped in the Avenue
triangle.
