Washington was demanded today
following a sensational charge
that this insidious dope is being
used by District school children.
The charge, made by Repre-
sentative Wright Patman CD Of
Texas at a meeting of the House
District Committee, was immedi-
ately followed by the demand for
an investigation.
Representative Clare Gerald
Fenerty (RO of Pennsylvania, who
asked for the probe, said also
that he would consider introduc-
ing a bill making possession of the
narcotic weed a criminal offense.

Mr.. Patman created a sensation
during the committee meeting,

Washington school children, de-
claring that the weed is one of
the most vicious forms of dope.
He was followed by Mr.. Fenerty,
author of a bill in Pennsylvania
