In a last desperate effort to
cut off their sons supply of bar
biturates. a mother and father
have sent out letters to 1855
Washington doctors begging
them not to prescribe sedatives
or sleeping pills for their son.
The parents permitted their
story to be told-without names
AS a warning to other parents
and as a means Of alerting doc
tors to what an addict can do
with pills that are harmless
when taken as prescribed but
lethal as their son takes them.
BY checking drug stores. the
flood Of doctors bills and pre-
scriptions taken from their son,
they know that nearly As we'll
known Washington doctors have
prescribed substantial quantities
of pills for their son in the last
Is months.
Nearly Lost Life
They decided to circularize all
the doctors he might visit after
the father narrowly escaped
death recently when his son
stabbed him four times.
There is nothing in the law
now to keep an addict from going
from doctor to doctor and getting
as many barbiturates as the doc
tors will prescribe. There is also

Luckily for Fritz MEME. first

Today he was to get it back al

Phil Devron. saw a $50 bill lodged
on a rock in a stream. Using
Boy Scout resourcefulness, an

A short distance away a SIC

Desperate Parents Beg Doctors
ToBon Borbiturotes for Addict Son

no law for compulsory commit
ment Of a barbiturate addict.
The son discovered the bust
ness Of shopping around for
prescriptions when he was II.
Now in his mid-20's. his addic-
ton has produced these results:
He has been hospitalized four
times in the last l6 months, but
has hit the doctors Offices again
for prescriptions soon after get
ting out each time.
He has cost his family sew
eral thousands dollars in hos
pital and doctors bills. They
have paid the nearly As doctors
but have not paid for their
sons prescriptions.
Sells Own Clothes
He has sold all his clothes
but the suit on his back. his elec-
trio radio. electric razors and his
family's four suitcases.
Fearful of a death-dealing
overdose, he has staggered into
his parents bedroom night after
night taking the barbiturates
and asked his father to spend the
rest Of the night watching over
him.
The father, who must be al
work early in the morning. has
spent many nights holding him
up and beating on his back &c
keep him from choking to death
in his stupor.

On several occasions. he has
gone into commissions and fallen
down the steps. On other occa-
sions. his father has come home
to find him unconscious on the
floor amid overturned furniture.
Four days after his latest hos
pital stay, he took five OF the cap
sules and went berserk when his
father took the rest Of the bottle
of so capsules away from him.
His mother fed from the house
to call police and the young man
gat a kitchen knife and slashed
his father.
Treatment Advised
Doctors consulted by the pa
rents have advised psychiatric
treatment in a hospital setting
but 1t would have to be voluntary
and they have never been able to
bring 1t of.
The parents finally decided to
write their letters Of appeal. 1t
had to be performed away from
home so their son wouldn't sus-
pect. The mother. Government
worker, had access to mimeo-
graph machine but the doctors
names and the envelopes had to
be typed. Every night she went
to the YWCA and used a type
writer there. Then. she and the
father would meet at the public
library to sign the letters and
stuff the envelopes.
This Is their last resort.

ment provisions for members of
the District Police and Fire De-
partments, park police. White
House police and some members
Of the Secret Service.
Senator Bible, Democrat of
Nevada, chairman of the fiscal
subcommittee Of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, said he had
concluded. after a re-examina-
ton of all issues involved. that
the pending bill was a good one
and should be enacted.
He has scheduled a meeting of
his subcommittee for Monday
at 2 pm. to act on the measure.
The bill already has been before
the Senate but was sent back to
the District Committee for fur
ther study after numerous ques-
tons were raised by Senator
Williams. Republican Of Della
ware.
Extra Benefits Questioned
Prominent among these ques-
tons was whether some extra
benefits to be given Washing
tons firefighters and police
would be out Of line with those
granted the classified civil
service. g.
Considering all the elements
involved" said Senator Bible. u
do not consider there is any
thing out of line"
Some Of the same questions
were raised in the House earlier
this week but the House rejected
q move to recommit the bill and
passed it without any change.
The bill raises from so to 70
per cent Of the pay Of a police
man or fireman the measure of
his retirement pay after 20 years
Of service and at the minimum
age Of so.
No Reason for Change
Senator Bible did not predict
what his subcommittee would do
but he said for himself he could
see no reason for any change in
the bill except for some Clarity
ing amendments.
