General March worked on the
book for almost a year. He con-
sented to write it only after Gen

the differences between himself

according to reviewers, is "the
most vigorous" of all the military
memoirs.

LACKS
PROPER CARE
FOR ADD|CTS
Harry AnsIinger, Chief OF
Narcotic Bureau, DepIores
Dearth of Facilities

Drug addicts. according to
Harry j. Anslinger, commits
sioner of the Federal Narcotic
Bureau, can find no salvation
or hope of a permanent cure in
hospitals or other institutions
of the District. He regards the
Nations Capital as one of the
most backward cities of the
United States in it's research in
addiction and facilities for
treatment.
Only those addicts who are
obvious victims of narcotics or
drug peddlers can be arrested on
the streets, the commissioner and
the Metropolitan narcotic squad
say.
Facilities Limited
Gallinger Hospital affords only
a brief treatment because OF
limited facilities, according to
DR.. Edgar A. Bocock, superin-
tendent, and addicts must be re-
leased after only initial care.
st. Elizabeth's Hospital, its
authorities say, makes no pro-
vision for addicts except in
unusually rare cases.
Treatment at Gallinger, accord
ing to Bocock, consists of with
drawal from drugs, brief con-
valescence, and prompt discharge.
Physicians say resulting nervous
ness causes the addict to succumb
again and quickly.
Always a Few
Costs of private institutional
care make treatment at such
places prohibitive to the ordi'
nary individual, Commissioner
Anslinger points out, and says
that usually only neglible relief
is afforded as the patient, who
is not legally charged with an
O14CIlOC, Cd11 ACdNC OLAC CoOdHAADAG
ment if he so desires.
Addiction is not widespread
here, police say, but according to
Bocock, Gallinger always has two
or three addicts under treatment.
Morphine, cocaine and heroin
are obtainable here but the
drugs are scarce. The scarcity
of morphine has boosted it's
price in the District to 5000 an
ounce.
Scarcity Explained
Presence of Federal Narcotic
Bureau Headquarters here and
an efficient police narcotic squad
result in the local drug scarcity.
DR.. Bocock blames Anticipated
District lunacy laws for the
inability of physicians to secure
treatment for addicts. Leglsla-
tors, it is said, seeking to pre-
vent INSCRIPTIONS commitment
of persons to institutions have
locked the door against addicts.
Gallinger. private treatment, or
continued addiction are the vic
Tins only recourSes.
The District is only one small
section of a large nation, that
Anslinger declares, in the main,
has inadequate treatment facili-
ties since California alone pro-
vides public care, and a move
ment is under way to effect q
nationwide change.
