WASHINGTON 1.-THE masters

the underworld figures who control

which brings them fantastic pro its
from the so, 900 addictS in this coun-
try.
They are responsible for a traf-
fic that is destroying the bodies
and minds OF men. women and chill
dren who become prisoners of the
habit. They are the men hunted
day and night by u. S. narcotics
agents.
r @Jin Yellow was one Of the
hunted. Agents tracked him down
in his plush Washington apartment
two years ago. Jim Yellow" Rob-
erts, 200-pound, light skinned Ne
gro. drove a Cadillac and lived in
luxury with his brown haired
young white wife, "Tinky."
They caught him in l945 with "A
ounces OF heroin IN his possession
and sent him to prison. The treas
ury Department announced after
his arrest at that time the "East's
larges dope ring has been
cracked. ''.'' h
But Jim Yellow spent only two
and a haff years behind bars. Then
he came back TO Washington and
soon the agents were on his trail
again. The files OF the U, s. Mar
eotics Bureau give this story:
One October day two strangers
came to town driving a flashy Cad
lilac convertible with Michigan Ii
