Dairy farmers in nearby Mary
land and Virginia are handicapped
by one of the worst late summer
droughts in years, Bruce B. Der
rick, manager of the Maryland and
Virginia Milk Producers Associa-
tion. reported today.
Mr.. Derrick said SO per cent Of
the dairy herds in the area al
ready are on winter feeding of hay
and silage, which ordinarily is not
used until November.
Production dropped about five
per cent last week. Mr.. Derrick
said, but he predicted field feed
ing will bring it up to normal
again.
The big drawback of field feed
ing, however. is that it is so ex-
pensive. 1t costs farmer about
$3.50 to feed a cow the same
amount of nutrition with winter
feeds that can be provided in a
pasture for so cents. Mr.. Der
rick said, however, that his as
sociation is not considering a
request for price increase.
He said the only spot in the
Washington area where pastures
are still usable is a part of LOU
|doun County, Va, just east of Pur-
|cellville.
Rains could still revive the
baked pastures, Mr.. Derrick be-
lieves, but he doubted whether
grass revived at this late date
would carry the normal amount OF
nutrients.

the junkey is all set-for a while.
One also looks for hard and
swelled veins. There will often
be puncture wounds and, as is
often the case, the junkey's arms
Ior legs may be covered with To-
Called infections. That's caused
by unsterilized needles-needles
usually carried about in the pants
pockets, resting with bits Of to-
bacco and other dirt.
For junkeys actually under the
influence of dope, there is almost
always a construction of the pu-
pills. Some junkeys. DR.. Faucet
said, swear they can tell another
Ijunkey as soon as they see one.

The inexperienced junkey will
often be ION the nod"-like being
drunk. It's difficult to tell the
difference from intoxication.
In the beginning, DR.. Faucet
pointed out, it's a pleasant SEN
sation. But, after a tragically
short while, the junkey finds him
self taking dope Ito be normal"
and being normal consists of a
great singleness of purpose--to get
more dope.
The junkey will go to bed at
night often only after stiff dose
of barbituates so he can save that
last bit of dope for the morning
when he knows he may begin to
be sick.
That period, DR.. Faucet con-
tinued, is when the junkey will
do almost anything to get more
dope. Some spend up to $50 each
day for it.
First the junkey gets the yen.
He's worried then. Later. eight

similar to a beginning cold come

Lexington, KY, to get the Elk"
given in smaller and smaller doses
as part Of the cure.
Terror Period Arrives.
Twenty-four to 36 hours after

The withdrawal symptoms are
complete. He vomits. suffers
from acute diarrhea, is too weak
to get out of bed.
That is what he has lived in

One patient, DR.. Faucet told
the policemen. told how he used
to check into a hotel when he
felt the withdrawal symptoms
begin. He'd call the house doctor
complaining of acute chest pains.
Then he'd extract blood from his
veins with his syringe and hold
it in his mouth. When the doctor
came, he'd groan as if in pain.
and spit it out.
In that way he got his "f1x."

.S12 Million Financing
For Hospitals Here
By Don S. Worren

Senate approval now will be
sought for the House-passed bill
to authorize Government aid in
improvements to Wash
ington's private. non-prof1t hos
pitfalls not included in the Hos
pital Center Act.
The Senate District Committee,
without a registered objection, late
yesterday voted its approval of the
bill and sent it to the Senate
calendar.
It would make available about
$12 million for such hospital ex-
pansion or rebuilding. A number
of the volunteer hospitals already
have plans drawn for such i'm
provementS.
Hunt Stresses Need.
Senator Hunt, Democrat, of
Wyoming, gave the hill a sturdy
push by declaring that private hos
pitfalls must be subsidized and need
aid as much as Government hos
pitals. Passage of the bill was
by Chairman Pas
tore of the Welfare Subcommittee.
Under the bill, the Federal Gov
ernment would make a so per cent
grant toward the cost of a hospi-
tai improvement and the District
Government would repay 80 per
cent of this over a 33-year period
Senator Case, Republican of
South Dakota, wanted to know
why the District Government
contribution should not be raised
to so per cent OF the due reim-
bursement but did not persist in
this argument when Senator Pas
tore said he feared such an
amendment would be fatal to the
bill.
Penthouse Bill Tabled.
In other actions, the Senate
Committee approved four other
measures and tabled a House bill
to legalize human occupancy Of
the penthouse on the 2400 Six
teenth street apartments, forbid
den by city zoning rules.
One of the approved measures.
stronger regulation and
professional standing for
licensed optometrists, was okayed
subject to a poll of three absent
members.
This bill would declare optome-
try to be profession. A subject
of continued controversy, and
would ban price advertisement for
professional services. Optometrists
could be refused licenses for
numerous offenses, one being the
use of the title doctor" without
adding the specification "optome-
triSt."
Also approved was a bill
authorizing flight training for
high school aviation students but
it faces opposition on the Senate
oor. Senator Welker, Idaho Re
publican. said he could see no
need for the bill and, instead,
favored more attention to reading,
writing and arithmetic.
Senator Welker and some other
committeeman revived long-de-
bated issues as to whether and
who would cover insurance claims
in case of flight training accidents.
Sponsors had endeavered to elm
mate this issue by a provision ex-
cluding the school and the Dis
trict of responsibility. Senator
Welker wanted to know If the
airplane interests would assume
responsibility.
The bill, however, was favorably
reported by a to 3 vote.

Raise bi||FiIed
Quick Action Seen
On Move to Boost
Salaries by $400

Action to provide pay raises for
7,700 District policemen, f1remen
and school teachers was initiated
today by the chairman of the
House and Senate District Com
mitteeS.
Chairman Mcmillan of the
House group introduced a bill to
provide a $400 pay boost for these
group of employees.
Meanwhile, Chairman Neely of
the Senate District Committee
said he would offer an amendment
to the Federal classified employe
pay raise bill when it comes up for
Senate action, probably tomorrow,
to give police, f1remen and teach
ers the same "a per cent raise
proposed for Government work.
ers.
Senator Neely said it was only
fair that these employees be given
the same treatment as is proposed
for Federal and District govern
ment classified employees.
Amendment Acceptable.
The West Virginia Democrat
said he had talked with Chair
man Johnston of the Senate Civil
Service Committee and that the
latter indicated he was agreeable
to accepting the amendment as
part of the Federal pay legisla-
ton.
The $400 pay raise bill Spon-
Sored by Mr.. Mcmillan was re-
ferred to the House District Com
mittee where early action was
promised.
Originally, these District en-
ployes were included in a bill be-
fore the House Civil Service Com
mittee for the classified employees
of the Government.
Since the policemen. firemen
and teachers, however, fall under
the jurisdiction of the House Dis
trict Committee. the provision for
their raise was removed from the
overall classified pay raise bill.
The House Civil Service Com
mittee already has reported its
measure for a $400 increase for
classified workers in the Govern
ment, including many in the clas-
sif1ed service of the District.
Action Seen Soon.
There is a possibility that pay
raise legislation for Government
employees generally may be acted
on soon by the House and Senate.
Pending before the Senate are
measures which would give postal
employees an increase of 8.8 per
cent and classified workers 8.4
per cent.
Three of the police forces here
would benefit under the Mcmillan
bill-the Metropolitan, the White
House and the Park Police.

How to detect the dope addict
and the tortureS the addict goes
Through were described yesterday
to 118 high ranking police officers
as the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment opened a new phase in its
unconditional war against dope in
the District.
A five-week course, first of its
kind in the country is being given
to all policemen from lieutenants
through Major Robert j. Barrett
himself. The information will then
be passed down to every officer in
the department.
Some little known facts about
dope and dope addicts came to
light at the first class yesterday
at police headquarters in Munich
pal Center.
The detection of addicts is diff
cult even for a physician. DR.. R. l.
Faucet, United States Public
Health Service psychiatrist
pointed out.
Symptoms Vary With Drug.
And the symptoms depend on
the type of drug used.
Few people know, for example
he said, that barbituates are ex-
ltremely dangerous if used over a
period of time. known to addicts
as "goof balls" barbituateS are
also nicknamed according to their
color.
When an addict mentions "red
devils" blue heavens. or yellow
Jackets" any other addict knows
exactly which he's talking about
A person who takes 10 or IL
"goof balls" each day over a
period of six to eight. weeks and
is suddenly deprived of them, Dr.
Faucet pointed out. may act like
he's insane" He often gets de-
lusions and sometimes even sui
cidal tendencies will appear.
His judgment becomes dis
torted. "Often, after taking three
or four pills, a person will toss
them down like peanuts" DR.
Faucet declared. Sometimes
that is the true story behind sui
lcides."
Usually, he continued, the lay
man can't tell dope except that
it usually comes in the form of
white powder and has a bitter
taste.
Aside from barbituates there
are the opiates-morphine, her.
DIN. codeine. demerol and syn
thetic derivations-as well as
cocaine and marijuana.
Addict Is a "Junkey."
In the jargon "junkey" is an
addict. A boot and shoe junkey"
Eis one who just doesn't know
where his next "fix" is coming
from. He's almost always an
opiate addict.
The f1rstt hing to look for, DIR.
Faucet pointed out, is the means
of administration. The main
liners" take it intravenously, usu-
ally with a syringe. But it is pos
sible to use a simple eye dropper
and safety pin.
After an opiate is cooked. it is
a liquid. A tourniquet above the
point of injection into the vein
while he pricks himself, and then
the tourniquet below the point
