Japanese Try to
Wreck Moralefof
u. s. With Dope
New Secret Weapon Seen
In Flooding Country
With Narcotics.

WASHINGTON. = Law enforce
ment officers throughout the coun-
try are mastering all their forces TO
combat Japan's newly disclosed
"secret weapon"-the flooding OF
America with woodworking, pol
sonous narcotics.
The existence of this typlcauy
japanese plot against American
morale has been known to higher
ups in the anti-narcotic service for
some time, but a recent statement
by Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau Jr. establishes 1t Tor
the first time as a deliberate instru-
ment of the enemy's national policy.
For the past ten years, it can now
be stated, the principal source OF
illegal narcotics reaching America
has been japan.
Three-f0ld Purpose.
This deadly traffic-which has
been interrupted, but not halted,
by warts declared by Harry j.
Anslinger, commissioner Of narcot-
les, to have a three-fold purpose:
l. To gain additional revenue for
war purposes.
2. To corrupt Occidental nations,
which are regarded by the japanese
as peculiarly susceptible to the
higher concentrates of narcotics,
such as morphine, heroin and
cocaine.
8. To demoralize and enslave the
peoples of lands already invaded or
marked for eventual invasion.
For more than decade, the cargo
of nearly every japanese ship
reaching these shores is believed to
have contained hidden narcotics des-
tined for the American people.
Even a ship bearing Prince Chi
chibu, brother of the Mikado, was
not exempted as an agent of the
sinister traffic. Customs officers
searched it at Seattle, and found
morphine worth hundreds of thou
sands of dollars Eat U. S. illegal
prices) concealed beneath an ap-
parently innocent shipment of soy
beans.
Similar struggled cargoes of dope,
virtually all of it originating IN
government-licensed japanese fac
tories, have been found by govern
ment men aboard vessels docking
in New York, Boston, Baltimore, Los
Angeles, San Francisco and other
large ports on both coasts.
CargOeS Slip By.
But it is admitted that many
other dope cargoes, equally large,
have inevitably slipped by-to be
sold at exaggerated prices to dope
addicts
Only the strong preventive cam
paign waged by this government
in recent years, according to anti
narcotic officials, has saved thou
sands of Americans from falling
prey to this vicious "secret weapon"
of the enemy.
But the story is different on the
Pacific, where the Japs have been
able to operate without interference.
In occupied China, hundreds of
thousands of Chinese, who had been
cured Of the opium habit by the
stern measures of the Nationalist
government, have been seduced
backed into it by the Japanese.
The same fate, without question,
awaits the people Of Thailand and
the Philippines, provided the Japs
can gain even temporary control Of
those countries.
BY pursuing those insidious poll
cies everywhere, the japanese high
command believes, resistance can
be weakened so as to smooth the
path of invasion, and to make it
possible for a relatively small jap
anese force to, hold a conquered
nation in subsection.

SOLO CONTEST
 FRIDAY NIGHT.
Grammar School Students : Offer Free Program Un-
 der Leon COrIiss

Naugatuck, March 25-The 18th annual Instrumental solo contest for grammar school students will be held in the high school auditor ium Friday night at 7:30, Leon R. CorlisS, music supervisor in local schools said today.
 In addition to the playing of the grammar school students of the solo numbers, the grammar school or- chestra of Salem school will be pre- sented. Kenneth Barrett, accom- panist for the orchestra, will direct the orchestra for two numbers with Eleanor Oemcke at the piano.
 As @ special and a new feature for the evenings contest several up- per grade classes will sing two or three numbers. These classes have been chosen because they have done excellent work throughout the en- tire year and it was thought best to give special recognition to these classes for their good work.
 They will benefit by hearing other classes equally as good as them selves and by sharing one with the other their advancement in vocal music they will be better able to become aware of the best music and how 1t should be performed. Their class room teachers will be in charge of the various groups.
 The following schools and grades will be represented: Salem school grade g (selected from 3 grades)- Miss Flaherty; Salem school-grade 2 (entire class) = Miss Flaherty; Central Ave.-Grade 8 (entire clasS) Miss E. Meegan; Prospect St. -- Grade 6 (entire class) = Miss Don- ahue; Hop Brook school-grade 6 (entire claSs)--MiSs E. Dalton.
 The general public Is invited to attend. There is no admission charge, and no tickets necessary.
 The entire program will be lan- nounced later.
 The contest will be judged by Fred Abele.
 The high school solo contest will be held Thursday evening, April 2.

BETTER BLACKOUT
 ALARM ADVOCATED
Improvement Hoped for When Defense Needs Are
 Made in Budget

Naugatuck, March 25.-That there is a crying need for better type of blackout alarm warning here was further evidenced in the surprise test Monday night Many persons in different localities have informed the Democrat reporter they did not hear the alarm at all
 In some homes, radios may have drowned out the noise of the whistles but in others no radios were going at the time, yet the whistles were not heard. Residents less than 50 yards away from the center of North Main street part of Union City reported they did not hear the alarm. Melbourne street residents in the main didn't hear it, nor did some Hoadley street resi- dents. Others in Millville, and New Haven road sections failed to hear the signal.
 It also seems evident that even If the stronger whistle used for fire alarms were blown, it would not necessarily be heard. It has been reported that sirens have been con- sidered but the high cost of these may have been 8 deterrent. How ever, many residents feel that de- spite the cost a great Improvement must be made in the alarm signal.
 It is not only that all residents should be made aware of the black out. Sometimes, particularly in out lying sections, raid wardens have to travel considerable distances to notify residents that blackout is in progress. And 1t is particularly in the outlying areas that the warn ing signal is least heard.
 Another possible effect of failure of residents to become aware of blackout is that they might use phones and thus delay important messages about casualties, in event of a real air raid, from reaching the proper units.
 The board of warden and bur- gesses in considering the budget for the new fiscal year will un- doubtedly have to consider an amount for defense needs, and 1t is hoped by many residents that necessary amounts to improve the alarm system will be included.

LOPEZ TO FACE
 CHARGE MONDAY
'Waterburian to Be Ar. raigned In NaugatuCk for
 Pure Food Law Violation

Naugautck, March 26. A tire and tube in the back seat of a car driven by Manuel Lopez of 413 South Main street, Waterbury, led to his arrest here Monday night during the black-out. As announced in The Democrat yesterday, Lopez is charged. with violating the pure food law and his case will be heard Monday.
 Patrolmen George Smith and Thomas Scally, both former Nauga- tuck high athletes, stopped the car in the black-out as a routine pro- cedure. Scally, however, glimpsed the tire and tube in the back seat and investigated to see whether or not it was stolen. Because they didn't want to flash 8 light during the black-out, the officers decided to have Scally stay with the car. When the black-out ended, they continued the investigation. Lopez said they had had flat tire and that was why the tire was in back. The offi- cers were still suspicious, however, and further investigation revealed that under the tire and tube and a large cloth there were nine-five- gallon tins and a jar all purportedly containing olive oil. If it is pure olive ail, 1t is valued at close to $500. The cans had no labels, police said. Reports have it that the arrest may be an important one, but further investigation will lbe made.
