Los ANGELES ON
WAY NORTH

Nosing her way slowly through
stiff headon breeze. the giant
Navy dirigible Los Angeles con-
tinued her northward flight from
the Panama Canal today without
incident.
Wireless advlces from Commander
RosendahI at o'clock this morning
located the Los Angeles just off
South Negril Point, on the extreme
western tip of Jamaica, with
weather fair and all well aboard.
Navigation experts were gratified
by the progress of the huge craft
on her northward flight, which was
expected to be considerably slower
and more difficult than today's
reports indicated. South Negril
Point is but 40 miles south of
Guacanabyabo Bay, Cuba, where
the tender Petoka is waiting with
her mooring mast ready to drag the
dirigible back to her I4akehurst,
N. J., base, should her gas supply
be exhausted or the northern

Turning to a new campaign tC
stop narcotic smuggling. Treasury
Department. officials declared to-
day that unless illegal inporta ton
Df opium, morphine, and cocaine
into the United States can be
checked it will be impossible to
wipe out the drug habit.
Col. T.. G. Mutt, head ofsthe mar
cotic unit, said that 3 survey by
the United states Public Health
Service discloses 100. 900 drug ad-
diets IN this country. who annually
are consuming about 100000 ounces
OF habit forming drugs.
present facilities with respect
10 the number of narcotic agents
and funds for enforcement purposes
are limited. Mutt said. If en-
forcement officials are providel
with sufficient facilities, the
smuggling problem can be solved
eventually; if not, the best that can
be hoped is to prevent the spread
Of illegal traffic by pursuing pres
ant methods.
Struggled drugs form virtually
the only source of supply. I'm
lass this supply can be eliminated
Mutt feels that it lis frIlitless, as a
permanent proposition. to proceed
further with curing addicts OF their
habit. Segregation of confirmed ad-
diets BY states was commended as
q plan to prevent further spread u
the habit.
Mutt estimated that nearly nine
tenths Of the drugs are smuggled
into the country through New YORK
with limited quantity entering
over the Mexican border. Whlle
there are few opium users in the
country, q small quantity OF that
drug is brought in through Seattle
principally by Orientals.
international and domestic drug
rings operate efficiently and have
well regulated channels for bring
ing drugs from abroad into this
country and into the hands OF con-
sunners. Illegal importers sell
dope in large quantities to whole
sale dealers at about $11 an ounce,
but the addict must pay as hign
as $437 an ounce. Most of the
consumers dope il procured in
one grain capsules at about 81.
Profits are enormous, according to
officials.
! The idea that school and college
students are important consumers
OF drugs is ridiculous, according
to Mutt. He said that frequent
charges that such situation ex-
lists have been investigated by
Government agents and disproved.
