Wild, Buppert Advance
To Mid-AtIontic Finals

of the District Amateur, won
up over Vernon Novak, q Uni
versity Of Maryland sophomore.
Mueller called q hole on
Novak for a rules violation, and
the two had words on the 17th
hole. 1t was the second straight
match in which Mueller played
under strained relations. How
ever. there were no incidents
in the Buppert match.
Wild Takes Lead
Wild went up on Lohren on
the fourth hole when Carl's
second shot bounded over the
green, and Wild made it 2 up
by dropping a 20-foot birdie
putt on the seventh. Lohren
scrambled to a halve on the
eighth by sinking a 20-foot par
putt while Wild missed from
five feet for a birdie.
Lohren cut the margin to
one by winning the ninth hole
with a par four. But Wild
scrambled to a halve on the
10th hole, won the 11th with q
par four and canned IS and 25-
foot birdie puts on IL and IA
to set up the victory.
Buppert, two time winner OF
the Anderson four-ball with
Beman, and Mueller both had
8 pars on the front nine and
turned even.
Mueller had had an assist on
his par 3 on the eighth hole.
He was trapped off the tee and
Is feet from the cup in two,
while Buppert's ball was only q
few inches away in two. Muel-
ler's putt caromed off Buppert's
ball into the cup for a halvins
par three.
But the husky Buppert made
short work of Mueller on the
back nine. Billy won the 10th
with a bogey when Mueller had
trap trouble, the 18th with q
birdie three, the 18th with a
par where Mueller lost the ball
and the 14th with a 25-footel
for a birdie three.
This will be Buppert's fore
most bid for a major sectional
title since he regained his anna
teur standing several years ago
Wild has an opportunity to add
his name to a select group who
have won the Maryland, Dis
trict and Middle Atlantic titles

Last week at the Park-Tow-
son Motel in Baltimore the
difference could be seen be-
tween the touring pros Of to-
day and those Of q few years

club was crowded with the
touring pros. Most Of them had
wives and youngsters with

publicist, wagered that every
one of them was in bed before

The tabled Baltimore Block
held no fascination for these
young businessmen.

They visit, exchange ideas,
give impromptu in the parking
lot, eat, talk, sleep golf.
The pro-am golf circuit lacks
some of the color of previous

that there are many more good
players than ever before.
Maybe George May, the pro-
moter of the Tam O'Shanter
tournaments has the right idea
when he demanded the players

12-Claude Wild, one of the real

Buppert Of Bethesda Country

morrow. The morning round
will start at 10 o'clock and the
afternoon round at 2.
Buppert got tough on the

eight holes. Buppert played
Is holes in even par.
The victories of Wild and
Buppert were big boost for

Although agents get number of tips from

1t all started when agent Denis arrived in Ankara

still can't explain why, but the driver, who spoke
English fuently, excited his suspicious So he
casually remarked that he was in town to look for

He did indeed, and showed up at Denis apartment

while it is en- route. Last year, for example, they
seized in excess of $25 million, wholesale price
that is multiplied many times before it ends up
poisoning the addict.
But once the dope does slip through, our men
forget all about their lives and safety in the effort
to track it down. 1t may take day or it may take
year, as it did in one assigned to an agent -
I'll call him Edwards - in San Francisco. And
every day of that year he lived with the knowledge
that discovery meant violent execution in traditional
Chinese tong fashion - Ratchet in the back.
Breaking fhe San francisco ring
We had learned that several tongs, both in
California and Oregon, had gone into the dope
racket To get the evidence, agent Edwards first set
himself up as dope trafhcker, one of hundred
different roles assumed by narcotics agent.
Then he moved into section of San Francisco
where many of the suspected tong members lived.
He began to frequent the bars and restaurants
they did, becoming friendly with several of them.
He played his part to such perfection that they
accepted him for what he said he They decided
invite him to of their clandestne tong meetings.
That was the moment for which he had risked his
life for full year. As he sat there, he heard full
details of the complete smuggling operation which,
he discovered, was headed by above-suspicion

happy to be able to make this interim report to the
American public: Our stronger law and strict

beating the traffic in dope. The End
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-04-16
The winning combinations:
strict laws and tough judges

80 years ago when the Federal Bureau of Mar
cotics was set up more than one American in 900
was an addict. Now the statistics are in 1000.
So from the point of view Of federal law enforce
ment are in position to get our hands around
the problem. Before we couldn't.
1t hasn't been easy. Most important factor in our
recent breakthrough has been the Narcotic Control
Act passed by Congress in 1856 1t provided for stiff
prison sentences of five to 20 years for first ofense
and 10 to 40 years for second convictions, plus
appropriately heavy fines.
1t warned the big interstate and international
traffickers, like members of the Malta, that now
could fight them in the only way they understood -
by a long-term quarantine in prison. They became
more cautious in their operations. AS result, the
dope traffic that they control has slowed down and
addiction with it.
Victory on several fronts
am now able to report that where strict state
and local laws have backed up the federal law, and
where tough Judges have handed down maximum
sentences, we've been able to pick up our agents
and move elsewhere.
We've closed our Offices completely in several
states Baltimore, which had a severe dOpe-trafhc
problem FIVE years ago, lowered it by so per cent.
In Ohio Juvenile addiction has virtually disappeared.
Seattle, Las Vegas Washington, D. c., Miami and
Honolulu are other greatly improved spots. So
several areas in New England and in the South.
Significantly we find radically different situation
in New York and California. At last reports, New
York had 2O,648 addicts, 46 per cent of the
national total. California had Z, All addicts and 10
per cent. The reason for this, as | have testified
before the Congress, is that these states have not
adopted the more stringent enforcement laws impOs
ing the heavier penalties adopted by the Federal gov
eminent and most of the other states.
So obviously tce're still in for a long fight. Feir
people knOtC this hard fact better than the 2SO
agents Of the Narcotics Bureau trhO i'm slightly
than fire years hare been responsible for the
federal prosecution Of 1000 cases.
Dope from Red Chino
Theirs is a cloak and dagger operation, and even
greater skills or imagination.
The biggest headache they have to contend with
is the traffic in heroin, opium derivative used by
90 per cent of the addcts in the United States The
bulk originates in Red China and winds up in
West Coast ports.
The rest of the supply gets its start in the Middle
East and is smuggled into Atlantic seaboard ports,
either directly or via Canada, Mexico or Cuba.
Our agents do fantastic job working under
ground in cooperation with the police of other
countries involved in the traffic with the exception
of Red China, of course). They intercept tremen-
dous quantities of the dope before it gets started

with one of them and 30 pounds of opium. Denis
managed to keep them waiting outside until the
Turkish narcotics police - with whom he had a
prearranged signal - arrived. They promptly
arrested the taxi driver, but the second man took
off with Denis right behind him.
''As gained on him he turned into an alley"
Denis told me. when | was right behind him,
hit him on the back of his neck with the palm of my
hand He fell turned around and got up on his feet.
