District Moves to Curb
Large Drug inventories
New Warehouse
Plan With HEW
To Check Thefts
BY CHARLES ID. PIERCE
Star Staff Writer


The District Government has
started buying an estimated 81
million worth Of medical sup-
plies under a new system de-
signed to block further large
scale drug thefts at District
General Hospital.
The new procedure will
greatly reduce the stocks Of
narcotics and other supplies
kept at District General and
other District institutions.
Rexford G. Vessels, District
procurement officer, disclosed
yesterday that he has signed
an agreement with the Depart
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare providing for joint
purchase Of medical supplies.
A major advantage Of this
arrangement, Mr.. Vessels said!
is that the materials bought
for the District will be stored
at an HEW warehouse at Perry
Point, Md.
Less Inventory
This means that we will no
longer have to keep large sup-
plies of the more expensive
drugs and other items at Dis
trict General and the other
institutions" Mr.. Vessels said:
Previously, stocks Of drugs
and other supplies adequate for
six months to a year or longer
were maintained at District
General and other institutions
because the District Govern
ment had no central warehouse
facilities.
Under the new system, he
said District institutions will be
limited to a 30-day supply Of
the more expensive supplies.
This should be an effective
answer to the problem that
came up at D. c. General" Mr.
Vessels said.
He added that it will be much
easier to keep track Of the
smaller quantities of drugs that
will be kept at District General
in the future.
Senator Robert c. Byrd,
Democrat of West Virginia,
chairman of the Senate Disa
trict Appropriations Subcom-
mittee, has asked for an inves-
tigation of Che District Health
Department because Of alleged
theft of drugs from District
General with an estimated re-
tail value of $25O,O00. The in
Vestigation is being made by
General Accounting Office ina
vestigators.
A District grand Jury also is
probing into the drug theftS
Cash Savings Seen
Mr.. Vessels said that the
new medical supply procurea
ment program was put intS
effect three weeks ago without
any fanfare. He said that Sc
far it is working very WE'LL
The District official said that
if any institution does run short
of supplies under the new pros
gram I'VE can get more from
the Perry Point warehouse on
24-hour notice"
Mr.. Vessels said that the
District will continue to buy
some of the less expensive med
ical items separately but will
buy about 81 million worth Of
supplies year under
the arrangement with HEW.
The new agreement with
HEW, in addition to reducing
the likelihood Of theft, should
also reduce costs for the Dis
trict because Of the greater
volume that will be purchased
under one contract, Mr.. Wes-
sells said.
District internal audit Off
GERS checking into drug stock
ing at District institutions,
found not only evidence Of
thefts at District General Hos
pital, but also that old drugs
unfit for human consumption"
had probably been used at the
Lorton Reformatory.

EVER SINCE then, public
transit has been on the de-
fensive in New York-a sort
of starved workhorse whose
$500 trains a day, averaging
eight cars each, carry-in
the rush hours alone-more
than the entire Washington
area population.
While the Port of New
York Authority and other
agencies have been allowed
to build all kinds of facil-
tiles for automobiles, and
make them pay, New York
ers have been niggardly with
transit.
Not until 1948 would they
allow the scent fare to be
raised to 10 cents. Even to-
day, the 15-cent fare on New
York subwayS is the biggest
transportation bargain any
where in the world.
For a single 15-cent fare
if you have a mind to-you
can travel for days on the
subways here. A young man
from Flushing with a flair
for drama rode all lines on
a single token. Doubling
back as necessary, he rode
over 400 miles in 25 hours
36 minutes.

ON THAT SUNNY day
when Maj. Bouvier shared
the platform with Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, New
York's George Washington
Bridge was the longest sus-
pension bridge in the world.
It's designer was Othmar
Amman, head of Amman &
Whitney, the firm that's
now completing the huge
Dulles international Airport
for Washington.
Today George Washington
is merely the worlds third
longest bridge, even with a
just-completed second deck
built at a cost of $145 mil
lion. But New York is still on
its red-carpet kick for cars.
The new Narrows Bridge
connecting Staten Island and
Brooklyn will regain for New
York the honor of once again
having the worlds longest
suspension bridge.
That is a super-colossal
honor, Of course. Meanwhile,
the subways are having to
struggle along with 40-year-
old equipment. Which seems,
on the other hand, to repre-
sent New York's super-colos-
sal ingratitude for a Job well
done.

ASK PROBE or
BLACK MUSLIMS' SCHOOL
IN CHICAGO ILLINOIS

Chicago amp - An investiga-
ton of school operated by the
Muslims here was urged by a
state legislator last week.
Urging the investigation of the
University of Islam, Temple No. 2,
located in a southside area densely
populated by Negroes, was State
Sen. Arthur Gottschalk of nearby
Park Forest. Gottschalk asked a
meeting of the Illinois School
Problems commission to look into
the matter.
In a statement prior to the
meeting, Gottschalk indicated he
thought the position of the Mus
Inns to be dangerous, saying:
IF they can get by with this,
you could get a white supremacy
group to teach supremacy of
whites and hatred of Negroes. If
there is no law that bans teaching
of hate in private schools, there
ought to be-"
The Muslims have been accused
of teaching Negro supremacy and
hatred of whites. The Muslims,
however, have repeatedly denied
the charge, saying that they only
seek to teach Negroes financial
responsibility and race pride.

Woman Denied Job
Because Of Whife
Husband. Approved

Champaign, Ill. (ANP) A
well-to-do farmers wife who had
charged - with powerful backing
She was denied a social work
position because she is married to
a white man, last week was hired
for the job.
Mrs. Anna M. Wall Scott of
Urbana, said she was informed by
Rep. Corneal A. Davis, and a news
man that the Illinois Public Aid
commission had approved her for
the position she had sought for
months.
Davis a Negro representative
from Chicago interceded with Gov.
Otto J. Kerner on her behalf and
pressed her case before the IPAC.
Mrs. SCOTS case became a
cause celebre" when it became
known that County Judge Fred
erick S. Green, chairman of the
Citizens Advisory committee here
which screens certain state job
applicants, advised Mrs. Scott he
would not recommend her for the
position.
She said Judge Green at that
time implied she was objection
able" to the city's Negro leaders.
Mrs. Green; in turn, circulated
a petition which garnered sigma
lures from some 500 persons at
testing to her good character and
qualifications.
She holds a bachelors degree in
sociology and a masters degree in
education from the University of
Illinois. Mrs. Scott had topped the
eligibility list in the Case Worker
I and Case Worker II classifica-
tons.
Mrs. Scott charged she was dem
led employment because she is
married to John T. Scott, who
owns a 72O-acre farm in Ford
county.

I8-Yeur-Old Has
Long Walk Ahead

Perth, Australia CAMP - BY
the time an 19-year-old Perth boy
will be permitted to own a drivers
license, he'll probably be too old to

drive an automobile until he is 81.
The youth appeared in Perth
Children's Court, and pleaded gull
ty to three charges of having un-
lawfully used motor vehicles. He
turned 10 after committing the
offenses.
Police told the court that be-
cause of his previous driving sus-

tain a driving license until the
year 2031.
AS with all children's cour
cases, the youths name was no

No Word On H.E.W. Post
Weaver accorded similar treat
ment to recurring stories that
mention him as next in line for the
post of secretary of health, educa-
ton and welfare, when and if HEW
Secretary Abraham Ribicoff leaves
the cabinet.
In an interview which followed
the program, DR.. Weaver said:
Everybody who has proffered
the job - including politicians,
newsmen and other well-meaning
persons - did not have the job to
offer. The one man who does has
never talked to me about it, and
therefore l can't comment about
the possibility"
Weaver said that segregated
housing now receives federal aid
because there is nothing in the law
to prevent it.

con, Mary S. asked them to listen
to her and she would make them
still wonder if you ever know.
Every one listened intently as
she began: Jane L. kept steady
company with Joe D. for five
years. During all of this time no
one could have been any nicer to
her than he was. He was thought
full, kind and very considerate of
her In fact, she had waited all of
these years because she wanted to
be sure she was getting the right
husband for herself. All of her
family and friends thought she
was making the right choice. And
so they were married.
For six months don't believe
there was ever a happier couple.
Afterwards, Jane said the little
things he said and did had been
so slight that she did not notice
he had changed, or so she thought
One day after she had done her
cleaning for the day, she went to
the store. When she returned
home she noticed the furniture had
been put back in it's former place.
She knew she had rearranged it
during the morning, so when she
saw Joe in the kitchen he gave
her one look and said, II liked
the furniture the way it was, so
let's leave it there. She was
stunned at the tone of his voice
and the look in his eyes, but she
told him she thought it was nice
to rearrange the furniture once in
awhile. She was hurt, of course,
but being in love she thought she
would agree this time, but she
planned to move it again on her
next regular cleaning day.
You who may chance to read
this will be surprised to know
that Jane lived with Joe all of her
natural life and he had crushed
her spirit until her friends hardly
recognized her as the same girl
Joe had married. Financially, he
took care of her, in his way. He
handled all of the money and she
cooked what he bought, wore the
few clothes that he bought for her
and in as few words as can find
to describe him he turned out to
be the prize heel of his day"
Mary had hardly finished telling
about Jane when Matte said, II
want to tell you of a bride and
groom who met, one day, became
engaged the next day and set their
wedding date for an early spring
wedding They met in August
while Ellen was visiting a school
chum in a distant city. She had
been visiting in the city for sew
eral weeks and met John the night
before she was leaving for her
home 1t was love at first sight
for both. Ellen went home and in
September John went to visit FL
len and meet her family. They
said he seemed very nice but they
told Ellen she didn't know him.
At Christmas John visited Ellen
again and gave her a diamond en-
gagement ring. In April he came
back for her birthday and in June
they had their wedding and truly
lived happily for "a years. They
had met and were being married
