Poin-KilIing Drug Offers Hope
For Cure of Morphine Addicts

Experiments with a new pain
killing drug, announced today by
two Government doctors, offer
new hope for cure of morphine
addictS.
The drug. acetylmethadol. was
synthesized in May, 1947. at the
National Institutes of Health
here. Since then it has been used
in treatment of about 80 morphine
addicts at the U. S. Public Health
Service hospital for drug addicts
at Lexington. KY.
Can Be Taken Orally.
Advantages of the new drug lie
in the fact that it can be taken
by mouth and its effects last
longer than most pain killers.
Drs. Havelock Fraser and Harris
Isbell of the National Institutes
of Health reported on the drug
today at meeting Of the Ameri-
can Society of Pharmacology and
Experimental Therapeutics in Bos-
ton.
They used acetylmethadol to
help morphine addicts taper off, ~
Addicts whose morphine is taken
away suddenly suffer nervousness
nausea. chills and fever. it was
reported. The usual tapering of
drug is methadone, which is given
by needle.
Effects Last 30 Hours.
The doctors noted that acetyl-
methadol acts about six times as
fast when it is given by mouth

rather than by needle. Effects last
from 80 to 48 hours.
II the drug proves effective
after further clinical tests, it may
prove an excellent substitute for
morphine and other opium deriva-
tives, it was reported. Opium de-
rivatives are produced from i'm
ported products. while the new
drug is synthesized. But the doc
tors cautioned against full accept
ance of the drug before further
data is obtained.
There are about 100000 drug
addicts in the United States. au-
thorities said. A rough estimate
of the. number of morphine ad-
diets among these would be from
25,000 to 10000, 1t was said.

Winner of '49 Star Pin Tourney
Not Thinking About Repeating

I'm not thinking much about
that top prize, but am looking
at the whole prize list. Instead
of shooting at one prize, I'm
aiming at hundreds. It's al
most like firing a shotgun at a
flock of ducks"
At least 1900 cash awards
are to be made in the tourna-
ment.
The 1949 tournament cham
pion also had a slant on the
slim cost of participation, the
entry fee being 81.
Looking at it from one an
gle," he said, "the cost is only
Is cents. If you bowled in an
ordinary 3-game tournament
you'd pay rs cents to the alley.
This cost is eliminated in The
Star tournament because only
league games count. You'd have
to pay for 'em anyway. Sew
enty-five cents of the entry fee
goes into the prize fund and Is
cents to the Bowlers' Victory
Legion.
when you think about what
the BVL is doing to cheer up
the GI's still in the hospitals
five years after the war, then
you come to look at this tourna-
ment not only as a bargain, but
something to shoot in as a
duty"

Cooper Eyes Bigtime
Boxing After Easy
Victory Over Garcia

Featherweight Jimmy Cooper o1
Washington hopes to move into
New York and boxing's big time
shortly. Manager Billy Banks is
awaiting word about a booking
at st. Nicholas Arena which was
promised Jimmy if he defeated
Limo Garcia of Cuba last night
which he did handily in the main
event at Turner's Arena. A good
fight or two at st. Nick's means
a step to the top at Madison
Square Garden.
Cooper's hopes of grabbing the
world bantamweight champion
ship just about have been given
up, however. says Banks. The
Washington youngster beat the
titleholder. Manuel Ortiz, in an
overweight match last, fall and
has been promised a shot at the
crown this summer. But Cooper
has pretty we'll settled on his best
fighting weight as a solid 1885,
FOUNDER and Banks doubts that
he can trim down to 118 pounds
and still have any strength left.
We'll take on Ortiz again in an
overweight match, but I don't
think it would be worth trying to
sweat Jimmy down to 49," said
Banks.
In last nights bout, Cooper had
a lock on the fight from the third
round on. In that heat, a solid
right cross and two left hooks to
the head drove the 131-pound
Garcia to his knees. From then
on the Cuban made few offensive
gestures and counted on expert
ence and boxing skill to stick
around for the finish. He defend
ed himself nobly when Cooper
chased him around, but at the
end barely was able to see through
swollen eyes.
Stealing the show among the
prelims was a f1ve-rounder in
which Benny Droll of Illinois
staged a comeback after being
battered around in the first two
rounds to gain a split decision
over Johnny Pratt of Washington.
Three prelims didn't last long:
Ralph Brown stopped Jimmy
lOBrien in the first, Bob Kaiser
