A bad" WEED
Likely to Cause INSANITY IA
the Users Druggists
Reveal
TRACED 5000 YEARS

NEW ORLEANS. = Criminality
and insanity in many cases spring
from the use Of marijuana, study
of the drugs history reveals
J. Skelly Wright, assistant United
States district attorney, who is CO.
operating in the federal-state drive
to ban the weed, found that for 80
centuries the ''muggle" has been
used. Smoking on a large scale is
comparatively new in the United
States, Wright explained.
The marijuana weed can be-
grown in flower gardens with little
fear of its being detected. With
this condition prevailing and with
the sudden and terrible effects Of
the weed, Wright stressed the diff
fculties in stamping out its use.
within 80 minutes, he said, the
crude cigarette rolled BY a mari
juana smoker can transform a nor
NAL person into a raving maniac
who obeys every impulse arising
from current or previous sugges-
tion."
Appeared in Ancient Asia.
In Asia Minor and India, where
its influence first was felt, priests
5000 years ago used various forms
Of the weed to induce religious
frenzy, Wright said the study re-
vealed.
Centuries ago royal families
drank "bhang," which was a mix
ture of honey and water with mari
juana added to it for a kick"
Although the drug was introduced
in western Asia more than 5000
years ago, it was not until 1845 that
a French doctor made a detailed
study of its effects and the relation
between ''hashish" excess and in
sanity.
Since then, according to Wright,
use of the weed has spread over
the entire world. In the United
States killers for hire" smoke a
''muggle" or two to bolster their
nerve.
Wright does not believe that con-
tinued smoking of marijuana will
produce addiction, as the use Of
opium or heroin.
'But 1t will produce a craving,
he said, mot unlike that Of TO-
bacco smoker for cigarettes
What person does under the in
fuence of the weed, Wright said, is
determined partly by his racial
physiological and emotional back
ground.
Pattern Not Universal.
But even then ''muggle" smoking
does not affect along a given pat
tern.
Afflicted with hallucinations OF
terrifying extent" Wright said, 'he
is liable to run amok, leaving trail
Of crime-even murder-in his
wake"
Case after case in which Grim
inals have admitted smoking mug
giles" indicates this is true, accord
ing to Wright
And after the crime is over,
Wright said, and the effects Of the
marijuana die off, the smokers
mind is usually blank Of all that
happened in the meantime and his
confessions cannot be depended
upon.
Eventually, continued smoking
brings on complete mental collapse
and insanity for which there may
be no cure, according to Wright

Washington, March 28.-(AP)-Thc
Treasury reduced today from 10 to "A

produced silver.
The reduction was the first change
in the Treasurys price for foreign
silver in nearly two years, and 1oi-
lowed a break of slightly more tnan
cent in the London silver market TO-
dav because of fears that the United
States decision to discontinue pur-

sage an abandonment of its stabilizing
influence on world silver prices.
Heretofore the worlds largest Gus
toner for silver, the United States
Treasury has virtually dictated the
value of silver for more than two
years
previously the announcement of the
decision with respect to Mexican Sill

in speculation by observers with that
country's appropriation OF American
oil properties.

nent's appropriation of oil properties
valued at more than $4oo,OoO,00O.
The oil men asked the official sup

tion modified. Only few hours ear

question. In the meantime the validity
of all decisions by Harcourt A. Nor
gan (the presidential selection to sue
coed Arthur E. at the IVA boards
head) and his fellow member, David
E. Lilienthal, will be doubtful.
The Arthur E. Morgan vacancy can.
not be filled with any certainty, either
until it has been judicially determin-
ed whether such a vacancy exists Or
not.
To Mark Time?
IVA can do little except mark time
while the controversy RACES.
Congress can investigate, but that
will involve indefinite delay, too.
Already the House of Representa-

begin work on the proposed Gilberts-
