, ting prescriptions for barbitu-

for them,
Sergt. Gabrys testified that a
policeman doing undercover work
accompanied a confidential en-
ploye" of the narcotics squad
to DR., Friedenberg's Office and
after this informer told DR..
Friedenberg that the officer was
AL right" he got a prescription
for so capsules.
In December, 1858, Sergt.
Gabrys testified. the narcotics
squad got the story which the
subcommittee heard today from
the blond and heard a similar
story from a woman patient of
DR.. Friedenberg who lived on
Connecticut avenue.
The squad, Sergt Gabrys said,
also interviewed a male patient
of his in Alexandria. This man,
said Sergt. Gabrys, would not
admit getting dope, although he
did say that d. Friedenberg
gave him injections and he
showed the agent thousands of
dollars worth of cancelled checks
he said he had paid to DR.. Fried
enberg.
Assistant United States At
torney Alfred Burka told the
subcommittee of the Govern
ments unsuccessful efforts toI
prosecute DR.. Friedenberg on
charges Of failing to keep rec
ords of drugs he had personally
administered.
Practice Cut Down
Mr.. Burka said that at one
point an early hearing in the
United States attorneys office,
DR.. Friedenberg told him he had
given up so per cent of his prac-
Itice since being visited by Sergt. !
Gabrys and Federal agents.
If it was a legitimate prac-
tlce." asked Committee Counsel |
C. Aubrey Gasque, why should |
a visit from police officers cause |
him to give up so per cent of |
his practice?"
Mr.. Burka said DR.. Frieden-
berg did not explain that. /
Senator Welker wanted to
know why the blond witness was |
not used in DR.. Friedenberg's |
trial. Mr.. Burka said she would 4
have been used if he had denied /
administering the drugs. But
since he admitted it, there was
no reason to put her on the
stand.
Under other questions, Mr..
Burka said the prosecution was
not aware that DR.. Friedenberg
knew the woman was engaging
in prostitution to pay for drugs. i
why didn't you charge him
with selling?" Senator Welker
wanted to know.
That would have been excep-
tionally difficult to prove" Mr..
Burka said.
Il can't conceive of any jury
that would ahsolve him of SELL
ing narcotics when it heard the
testimony of police and this
woman" Senator Welker OBJ
served.
Mr.. Burka said that on the
basis of what was brought out
today he thought the Govern
ment would reconsider the case.
Mr.. Burka said that the rea-
son the case wound up with a
hung jury and the Government
later dropped it was that the
District law passed in 1948 said I
that doctors had to keep a record
of drugs personally administered
oy them and this record was to
be kept on a form to be pre-
scribed by the Board of Phar-
macy.
He said that DR.. Harold G. L
secretary of the Phar-
macy Board, took the stand as
4 defense witness and testified
hat no such form has ever been
prepared by the Pharmacy
Board.
