Commissioners
Plan More Study
|0f Needle Law
Proposal Aims at
Hypodermic Syrinees
Used by Addicts

The Commissioners today de-
cided to give further study to q
proposed law prohibiting unau-
thorized persons to possess hypo-
dermic needles.
The measure. under considera-
ton as another means of crack
down on narcotic violators, was
discussed at public hearing
Monday.
Legitimate users of hypodermic
equipment would be required to
have certificates from physicians.
Commissioner F.. Joseph Dono-
hue recalled the concern over the
danger of arrest to out-of-town
visitors here who might have
hypodermic needles for legitimate
health purposes.
Robinson States Stand.
Engineer Commissioner Bernard
L. Robinson said he opposed the
proposed statute as it now stands
because of the hardship on
Legitimate users.
He pointed out the city might
as well make possession of bottle
caps a felony. Bottle caps are used
for cooking" dope preparatory to
administering it.
But Police Chief Robert v.
Murray pointed out his depart
ment now is helpless to press
narcotics charges even against a
person who admits he is an addict
and has dope administering equip
ment on his person.
He cited cases where such per-
sons are arrested on other
charges.
Eight States Have Law.
Inspector Robert S. Bryant
pointed out that eight States
have the so-called needle law.
He said he understood that Mary
land had success with such law.
The District, he noted. has no
law requiring compulsory treat
ment for an addict, even when
members of his family ask help.
The Commissioners asked Cor
poration Counsel Vernon E. West
to prepare a comparison of the
Maryland law, the proposed Dis
trict law. and changes suggested
by Assistant Corporation Counsel
Irving Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan's suggested changes
would make the proposed District
law specify persons addicted to
narcotics or those associating with
drug violators or frequenting mar
cotic nuisance" spots.

Corning Wins Victor,
And a SfaIemafe on
1.-Two School Issues

School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
has won a victory and obtained a
temporary stalemate in two of his
current controversies.
The Board Of Education yester-
day told him he may distribute to
pupils folders put out by Life
Magazine. Adelbert w. Lee, board
vice president, had objected to
them as being too commercial
The folders are to be used in con-
nection with a series of television
shows over WTOP-TV this week
and next portraying the local
schools.
DR.. Corning had agreed to dis
tribute more than 100000 of the
folders, which list questions
parents should ask about their
schools.
Mr.. Lee repeated his earlier OBJ
lection that it is merely an effort
to distribute advertising in the
schools. He was the only member
to oppose distribution of the ma
terial. Mrs. Arcadia Near Phillips
refrained from voting.
'Watch" Plan Is Sent Back.
The draw - temporary - came
when a proposal to set up a COM
mittee to keep an eye on the
school superintendent was sent
back for further study.
The proposal. made by DR.. Phil
lip T. Johnson, would have set up
"a special committee to hear COM
plants against the school superin-
tendent, receive and evaluate the
superintendent's annual report
and recommend appointments at
the proper times.
DR.. James A. Cannon and AL
bert E. Steinem called the whole
idea unnecessary.
Mr.. Lee said he was disturbed
lat the misunderstanding aroused
by the proposal. He said it was
not an attempt of any member
of the school board to be a snoop-
er. He suggested revision of the
plan to have the committee hear
complaints.
Suggests Annual "EvaIuation."
Then Wesley Williams came up
with an idea that was not even
in the original proposal. He sug-
gested that the president of the
school board evaluate the work of
the school superintendent each
year and report to a committee.
THAT is new thought. DR..
johnson commented. Mr.. Lee said
that evaluation was not mentioned
in the original proposal, but he
thought it should be included.
The matter went back to the
Rules Committee for study.
