NARCOTIC EXPERTS
SUBMIT REPORT
Wickersham Group Learns
of Increased Use of Mari
juana and Herein.

Widespread use of marijuana, a
drug of the Hashish family, and in
creased use of heroin by gangsters was
reported to the Wickersham Commits
sion yesterday by narcotic experts.
Nearly dozen members of the New
York narcotic survey and the World
Conference on Narcotic Education
lodged plea with the commission to
Investigate the drug situation and pre-
sent recommendations to Congress for
curtailing all non-medical use.
One Member Absent.
Earlier the commission, with all but
! of its IL members present for the
first time this year, plunged into the
delayed work of completing its far
flung survey of crime.
Testimony upon the introduction
into this country and Europe of
marijusna, a type of Mexican hemp,
used principally in cigarettes, was laid
before the commission by Capt. Rich
mond Pearson Hobson of New York,
one of the heroes of the Battle OF
Manila Bay.
1.-The drug can be grown anywhere"
Hobson said, land when smoked in
small quantities produces feeling of
physical exhilaration. In excess, how
ever, it motivates the most atrocious
acts. Even more serious is the present
use of heroin.
Gunner Given Drug.
Investigation has definitely estab-
lished its widespread use by gangsterS
and criminals, not by those who plan
the crimes, but by the thugs selected
to commit them Usually the man
selected is a heroin addict, and once
he is given this drug, touched up with
a bit of cocaine, he has no pity, no
fear and is a desperate man."

district attorney and Republican NOM

SAYS MUSSOLIM
IS FACING FALL
Father Stag Outlines Views on
Italian Situation in Speech
to Rotarians

Belief that Mussolini will fall in
italy. despite great ability and force
full personality, because he is at
tempting to enforce a false juridical
philosophy and an unsound economic
system. was expressed by Rev. Father
John Stag, rector of st. Mary's Pro-
cathedral, In an address Wednesday
to members of the Rotary club.
Father Stag outlined the basis Of
the difficulty between the Italian
government and the pope, emphasize
ing that it is a political and not a
religious quarrel, since both factions
involved are adherents Of the Cath
Ole religion.
Mussolini, Father Stag said, consid-
erS the state government supreme
and that all persons must bow to it.
The pope. he said, is %contending for
freedom of conscience and for those
God-given human rights which it is
the duty Of government to protect.
The sound juridical view of gov
eminent, Father Stag said, is that it
exists for the purpose Of benefiting
the people governed and that the
state has no other ends to serve. Mus
solini's view, he said, is that govern
ment exists for the benefit Of the
state alone and without regard for
the human rights of persons within
the state. Since the pope has es-
poused the human rights side of the
question. Father Stag said. he can be
expected to win, since all such con-
t~roversies have finally been settled
on the basis Of right and wrong in
the past.
Father Stag emphasized the mag
netic personality and the unques-
toned ability which brought Musso-
lini into power in Italy. but said he
may be expected to follow the path
of Napoleon unless he changes, which
he said seems unlikely. He said Mus
solini has no advisers and is the vic
tim Of an inflated ego which may
ultimately prove his undoing.
The speaker said he feels Ameri-
cans are getting an imperfect pic
ture of the situation which exists in
Italy because of a press-censorship
which he believes has been set up by
the Italian government. AS a result,
he said, he feels that press associa-
tionS and others are not being per-
mitted to tell the whole truth.
Father Stag pointed out that Mus
solini has ratified the sword" against
both England and France within the
last year and expressed the belief
that he would not hesitate to plunge
the world into bloodshed to gain his
ends.

ROAD CLOSING BILL
DRIVE IS RENEWED
Law Empowering City Heads
to Abandon Unused
Streets Sought.

A new effort will be made at the
coming session of Congress to enact a
law giving the District Commissioners
power to close streets, alleys and high
ways no longer needed, according to
plans laid yesterday by the Streets and
Avenues Committee Of the Washington
Board Of Trade
While discussing provisions Of SINH
lar bill which failed of passage last ses-
sion, members of the committee voiced
objection to a provision of that bill
which would have given the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
joint power with the Commissioners in
such decisions.
Division of Power Opposed.
While the Planning Commission should
act Jointly with the city administration
in planning new streets, members of the
committee declared, there appears no
reason why the power of merely clos
ing unused highways should he divided
between the city heads and the plan
ming body
The trade body committee, approving
general principles of the proposed legis-
lation, directed a subcommittee to col
laborate with the Board of Trade Law
Committee and with Melvin C. Hazen,
District surveyor in drafting a new
measure.
The subcommittee named by Chair
man George v. Graham, consists Of DR..
Llewellyn Jordan, George Thomas
SSummerlin, jr, and Col. Robert L.
Longstreet. The committee will consult
with j. Rowland Bibbins.
Object In Sacfiou NJ RiII
Particular objection swas voiced to a
section of last years bill providing that
where the United States held title to
streets to be closed the property should
be sold II no other Government agency
was to make use of the street area.
Members of the trade body committee
held such land should revert to the
ownership of abutting property owners.
The final act of closing unused
streets should be a matter of court pro-
ceedings, it was declared so equities in
the land cold be adjusted among prop
erty owners.
