A HouSe-paSsed bill to tighten
District control over narcotic
addicts and harmful drugs to-
day was on the way to the Sem
ate for action.
Somewhat similar legislation
already has been approved by a
Senate District subcommittee
and is ready for action by the
full Senate District Committee.
Leaders of the Senate group
hope the measure may be ham
died by the full committee some
time this week. But no specific
date for such a session has yet
been set.
Meanwhile, the American Psy-
chiatric Association attacked the
narcotics bill, declaring that
such legislation represents
backward, rather than construc-
tive. approaches to a national
attack on drug addiction"
The psychiatrists declared that
the legislation is biased on mis-
conception of the nature of drug
addiction as a pSychiatric illness
and appears to proceed mistak-
emily on the assumption that drug
addicts are especially responsible
for a substantial number Of
crimes of violence"
Bills like this, the associations
statement said, discourage or
abolish previous flexible provi-
sion for parole, probation and
assignment Of drug addicts to
Federal hospitals. and thus will
impede medical progress that has
been initiated under existing leg
islation."
The group called for a gradual
development Of a medical pro-
gram which would reduce drug
addiction and also take the
profits out Of the illicit drug
trade.
The narcotics bill was one Of
eight District measures passed by
the House yesterday and sent to
the Senate.
One of the bills approved by
the House District Committee,
to allow District chain stores to
sell beer at each one of its out
lets. was not called up for ac-

however he opposed the idea of
tapping the Federal treasury for
acquiring such project when
people in other sections of the
country with a similar purpose
are required to donate the land
or obtain it from another source.
He commended that the Gov
Iernment paid $4,000 for the
Stone House property and has
more land than is needed for
the purpose. He said that, so
far as the record shows, it has
only architectural value and age.
Congress has put up funds for
acquisition of historic sites in the
past. The legislation for the
Old Stone House calls for its
preservation as one of the out
standing remaining examples of
18th Century architecture in the
city, and establishment of a mu-
scum there for relics and records
pertaining to early history of
Georgetown and Washington.
