Drug Addiction and Crime

Additional evidence of the crime breeding
potentlalitieS of drug addiction has been re-
vealed in the efficient roundup by the police
of group of holdup and narcotics law sus-
poets. In this case, as in many others, the
police have found close link between major
crimes and the dope racket. And they have
found further proof of the need for a COM
pulSory disqualification law for addicts
James Yates, arrested in connection with
pawnshop robbery and suspected in the shoot
ing Of policeman in previous holdup, is
known drug addict. He boasted to police that
he had worked only one week in the past three
years. Yet he has maintained an expensive
wardrobe and bought costly drugs throughout
that period. An address found in his pocket led
police to a dope pad" or narcotics hangout, in
the Northeast section of the city, where six
otherS SaddictS were arrested
Yates faces trial on criminal charges but
police said that some of the addictS taken in
the Northeast raid probably will have to be
released, because of lack of evidence of law
violation. Yet the freeing of such dope users
poses threat to public safety, for, as congress
Sional crime investigating groups have warned,
the craving for drugs often leads addictS into
careers of burglary, armed robbery and worse.
It is to meet this problem that District law
enforcement authorities have united in support
OF proposed legislation to compel drug addicts
to take the cure" at Federal hospital for
narcotics. This would protect the public from
dope-induced crimes committed by addicts
known to police but, under present laws, free
to roam at large in quest of drugs, or the
means to buy them.
bill to require disqualification of addicts
has been approved by House District Sub
committee. It's passage would give the police
the authority they need to remove known ad-
diets from circulation and commit them to an
institution-for their own good aswell as that

Conont on Germany

With all signs indicating that the Com
muniStS will soon seal of East Berlin from the
free sectors of the city, DR.. James Bryant
Conant-in his first public broadcast as the new
United States High Commissioner for Germany
has laid down an American line whose ex-
ceptional firmnesS and toughneSS will certainly
not escape the attention of the Kremlin.
First of all, DR.. Conant has served notice
that our country will insist on "free circulation
throughout the entire CITY," not only for our
own personnel but also for "all the inhabitants
of all the sectors" Second, speaking for the
American forces over there, he has pointedly
emphasized that 1--WE shall continue to fulfill
our duties and to maintain our rights" Third,
as if to forewarn the Soviet Union against
attempting another all-out blockade, he has
given voice to these significantly blunt words:
'The United States, in cooperation with the
two other Western powers, is determined to
keep open the lines of communication with
Berlin I can assure you there will no faltering
in our determination"
Finally, over and above all this, DR.. Conant
has solemnly predicted that communism will
retreat eastward in Europe and the frontiers
of liberty peacefully expand" as the Atlantic
community increases in strength. And with
that thought in mind he has addressed the
following message directly to the people of
East Germany: ITO those who are enduring
with patience and fortitude the heavy hand of
Soviet occupation and Communist enslavement,
bring special greeting from the United States.
Your fellow Germans in the west sectors of Ber-
lin and in the Bonn Republic are standing firm,
and you will some day be united with them
under conditions which insure democratic free
government of your own choosing"
These are unusually strong words Indeed,
as far as can be recalled offhand, they are the
strongest yet uttered by any American in Ger
many. Apparently rejecting President Eisen-
hower's new and positive foreign policy"

More About Purkinq

Thanks to Frank G.. Campbell for
expressing the views of thousands on
the parking situation in Washington.
However, one doesn't have to go to
Miami to find penny parking meters,
as nearby Bethesda and Silver Spring,
Nd, have them. And what joy they
are!
There are SO many obvious advan-
tages to the penny meters that it is hard
to understand why every place doesn't
have them. There certainly would be
much greater turnover in cars using
the spaces as I am sure I am not the
only one who puts nickel in one of
our neighborhood meters to enable me
to do five or ten-minute errand, then
think up" something else to do rather
than waste" so much paid-for time.
There would be fewer violations too, as
we are more apt to take a chance"
when an errand requires only a few
minutes.
Where the public really takes beat
ing though Is on the public parking
lots downtown. How exorbitant do the
charges have to get before they are
regulated? Any honest operator readily
will admit that his parking lot is gold
mine! And the nerve of Parking Lot
