NdrcoficsChief
Says Pedd|ing
Ihrives Here
Anslinger AssaiIs
Light Sentences;
Urges Legislation

Failure Of courts in the District
to impose heavy sentences on drug
peddlers has brought about what
he described as very bad situa-
ton" in Washington, H. j. Ans
linger, commissioner Of the Treas
ury Bureau of Narcotics, told a
House Appropriations Subcommit-
tee at hearings on the Treasury's
1947 appropriation bill, reported to
the House today.
Mr.. Anslinger said light penalties
against narcotics offenders in the
District made it necessary to sta
ton as many agents here as are re-
quired in all the New England
States or in five of the Middle West
ern States.
The reason for that" he said. "is
that light sentences averaging eight
months do not deter the narcotic
trahcker. In Baltimore, where they
give an average sentence of 38
months, you do not have peddlers
to any extent"
Recommends Legislation.
MIR. Anslinger said the light SEN
fences for narcotics violation were
peculiar to Washington and that he
had discussed the matter with Chief
Justice Bolitha j. Laws of District
Court. The narcotics chief told the
subcommittee he could not under
stand" why an offender here should
get only an average of eight months
in Jail.
He recommended that legislation
be passed for the District making a
minimum sentence of at least three
years mandatory for second Of
tenders.
Tremendous profits in illicit drug
trade was cited by Mr.. Anslinger as
a compelling reason for persons to
engage in this business. A typical
price for quarter grain of morphine
would be 81, he said, making the
price $4,000 per ounce. The legiti-
mate trade price, he said, is only $40
an ounce.
A report submitted by Mr.. Ans
lnger showed only eight States had
more narcotics violations in the
fiscal year 1945 than the District,
with 81 cases. Greatest number of
violations were in New York, with
367. The other States were Texas,
California, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan,
Oklahoma and Pennsylvania.
Drug Addiction Drops.
Generally, the incidence of drug
addiction throughout the country
has dropped impressively between
the two world wars, Mr.. Anslinger
said. Figures from the World War
indicated about one out of every
1000 processed for the armed serv-
ices was an addict, he pointed out.
Examinations in World War II in
dicated addiction among only one
out of every 10000, he said.
Drug addicts among boys and girls |
OF high school age, he said, are very
few. Only in Texas, he said, has any
difficulty been experienced among
school children.
In answer to question by Repre-
sentative Ludlow, Democrat, of In
diana, Mr.. Anslinger said Hitler
probably took IAN occasional shot
OF morphine to quiet his nerves to-
ward the end" The use of barbitu,
ates in Germany as a whole rose
sharply, he said, probably as the
result of continued bombings.
The Appropriations Committee
recommended budget of 81, 304, 900
for the Narcotics Bureau-$132, 500
above the appropriation for the 1916
fiscal year, but s31 900 below that
