Washington school officials have
been astounded by charges that
marihuana, habitforming drug
the effects of which are said to be
more disastrous than those of
most other opiates, is being sold to
school children of the District as
part of an effort to turn them into
dope addictS, to the profit of drug
purveyorS.
1t has been known for several
years that marihuana was being
grown in the United States. Crops
of the plant, which grows weed
like on vacant lots, have been de-
Stroyed in many of the larger
cities. The ease with which it
may be grown has made it diff
cult for the Federal narcotic
squad to stamp it out, and the tes-
timony before the House District
Committee showed that small
quantities are not only finding
their way into Washington, but
into the hands of juveniles.
Police and school officials are
watching the school problem
closely, in the aftermath of the
committee disclosures, in an effort
to prevent the distribution of ma
rihuana and other habit-forming
drugs among boys and girls of
school age.

some of the policemen had OBJ
tanned advance information con-
corning the questions in the ex-
aminationS, November 10.
At the same time it was made
known that a general reorganiza.
ton of the personnel of the de-
partment is scheduled. A score
of major changes are contem-
plated, it was said.
In announcing there had been

in the Police Training School long
prior to the November quiz.

Government officials alleged to
be Communists and a thorough
investigation to determine the

ence on National Defense.
In a resolution adopted at the
final session in the MayfloWer
Hotel, the conference asked the
discharge of Robert Marshall,
director of the Forestry Division,

Gardner Jackson, senior admin
istrative counsel of the con-
sumers Division, Agricultural
Adjustment Administration, and
Pauline Shershersky, former as
sistant superintendent of District
Emergency Relief, who is now
holding a Government position
in Maryland.
DemOnd Probe
The resolution pointed out that
charges made in Congress that
these three Government officials
have contributed to the Commu-
mist rank and file committee
have not been denied. It was
pointed out that this organization
is organized for the promotion
Of Communist activities, includ-
ing "inciting strikes, riots, sabo.
tage, industrial unrest, and revo-
lutionary propaganda for the
overthrow of government"
Charging that hundreds of
communists and communist SYM
pathizers have crept into the gov

further asked the President of

vestigation in an effort to tweed
out" all of these persons who are
now employed by the Federal
Government.

dismissal of all teachers in Amer
lean schools and colleges who

ganda." Exclusion of foreign
Communist students from Ameri-
can schools and abolition Of the
Communist ticket in national
elections were also asked.
