Marijuana SmugglerS would be
subject to a minimum penalty
of 5 to 10 years Imprisonment
on the first offense. 10 to 20
years on the second offenSe and

cases could be used in court,
provided Federal officers got
Federal court permission in ad-
vance to tap wires. Court orders
and all papers Stemming from
the Wire-tap would be sealed to
insure limited and proper use.
Border control - Addicts and
convicted peddlers would have to
get special permits from border
customs stations before leaving
the country and would have to
surrender such permits on re-
entry. If they failed to get per-
mits and were caught. they
would be subject to fines of not

ment for not less than one or
more than three years, or both,

day searches on probable cause
to believe that narcotics are on
the premises. At present, under
Federal Rules of Criminal Pro-
cedure. law enforcement officers
seeking to serve warrants after
sunset must swear to positive
evidence that the narcotics are
there. Federal agents report that
nine out of 10 narcotics viola
tions occur at night but they are
handicapped in making raids be-
cause of the restrictions on night
searches. This provision was
urgently recommended by Wash

coticS cases. At present. certain
aliens can escape deportation If
a judge recommends that they
be allowed to remain in this
country.

day officially opened its newly
enlarged branch bank facilities
at Dupont Circle.

were on hand. They aided Lynn
o. deLashmutt. vice president
and manager of the Dupont
Circle branch-the banks larg-
est-in receiving visitors.
Mr.. Mccormack explained it
was impossible to hold a formal
open house, due to the demands
of business. But he said a num-
Der of banking friends and busi-
ness men in that section of the
city joined the general public in
wishing the enlarged facilities
well.

of both private and commercial
accounts necessitated the addi-

Additional parking facilities

are expected to be opened at an
early date. They are expected
to more than double the present
parking spaces
Mr.. deLashmutt was trans
ferred as manager to the Dupont
Circle branch october 9, 1851.
Riggs acquired the old Hamil-
ton Savings Bank on May l.,
1922, which was then located at
Twentieth and P streets NV.
The branch remained there until
October, 1923, when Riggs moved
into the present location. 1t was
first expanded in 1884 and again
this year, affording increased
facilities in the Dupont Circle
region.

The suit charged that "the
only reason" for the denial was
the proposed use Of the land
The suit quoted one commission
er (not named) as saying: III
that is the use for which the
land is to be used I would be
against it and would, therefore,
do everything in my power to
prevent the use of the land for

further that this regulation
