The Bureau of Narcotics has
broken up a Boston narcotics
ring that since 1949 brought In
more than a ton of heroin
worth an estimated $3.50 mil
lion.
Henry L. Giordano, head of
the bureau, told a House
Appropriations subcommittee
about the ring March 6. The
testimony was released yester-
day.
He said the case involved
Joseph Sax, a prominent Grim
inal attorney in Boston, Joseph
Massa of Boston and other as
Sociates. Since the traffic
started in l94S, he said, they
brought into the country more
than 1000 Kilograms of heroin,
or 1900 pounds.
Valued at $3.50 Million
Representative Gary. Demo-
crat of Virginia, asked for an
estimate Of what that much
heroin would bring in at the
retail level, where 1t reaches the
addict in highly adulterated
form.

the retail value would be $3.50
million.
Sax and Massa were arrested
in Boston last September and
held in $4,000 bail. They were
indicted october 5 by a Federal
grand jury in New York. They
pleaded innocent and are
awaiting trial. q

SPOTS MISTAKES
Robot Checks on I axpayers
BY RAYMOND J. CROWLY


MARTIN BURG, w. Va,
April Taxpayers tempted to
fudge on their April is Federal
returns should think again,
They may be up against a
formidable combination, in
GLIDING;
/. A robot without any feel
ings;
2. A bureaucrat who admires
the logic Of Aristotle;
3. A gal whose eyes change
from blue to green depending
on what color eye shadow she
is wearing.
These are among the work.
ers in a small, modernistic
building here in the Shenan-
doah Valley apple country. The
building houses the National
Computer Center Of the In
ternal Revenue Service.
The robot, or computer, is
checking millions of tax re-
turns from the Eastern Sea-
board. BY 1866, it will be pry-
ing into returns from all over
the nation - an estimated rs
million, including individuals
and businesses.
Raw data - such as the fig
ures on your return - are
punched on cards in regional
offices In Atlanta and Phila-
delphia. These cards transfer
the information to magnetic
tape. The tape - about 55,-
900 tax accounts on a reel
about a foot in diameter - is
then flown to Martinsburg.
Master File Checked
Then the computer goes to
work. Fed the raw tape, it
checks against a master file
to see whether a taxpayer has
filled all returns lawfully due,
whether he is up to date on
payments and whether there
is anything suspicious about
him.
Then the machine produces
another tape for shipment back
to the field. This can auto
matically write notices that a
person owes money, that he
must produce his papers for
an audit or that he is even
with the Government.
When the computer sends
out a notice requiring an an
swer, it begins counting the
days. and if a taxpayer does
not respond in time it fires off
a sterner warning.
1t can alert revenue agents
to slap a lien on the old home
stead or-oh yes-it can auto
matically write a refund check |
if necessary.
IS On Staff
In charge Of this awesome
setup is NOT a gh-domed
scientist, as you might expect,
but an English major from
Bowdoin College (class OF
1940, John E. Stewart. He is
an unusual bureaucrat, in that
he takes pride in the small size
of his bureau-78 persons in
addition to the robot.
The machine is important,
he says, but far more impor-
tant are the people attending
it. They don't necessarily have
to have advanced university
degrees.
But they must have an
aptitude; an ability to do some
abstract reasoning, like the
logic Of Aristotle. Above all,
they have to be able to get
along with other people. be-
cause this is team job" I

period Of convalescence Is o
real test Of patience.
Nine. Dmitrieff used this
period listening to q radio
good music station.
The first time Nine. Dit
rieff got a detached retina
was four years ago. She had
suffered a severe head blow
the day before. AS she was
teaching a student. she re-
marked that she was seeing
beautiful, brilliant flashes Of
gold and yellow. Isn't this
funny" she told him. II see
all kinds Of figures and black
dots in my right eye"
The next day she was OPP
Grated on. A month later she
was back teaching. IAN my
life I was always pushing and
lifting pianos; it's my strong
Swedish and Russian consti-
tition," she said, looking
back for q possible reason for
the detachment.
Record Time
A month Is record time to
be back at work, but as
Nine. Dmitrieff put It. II
have to earn q living: ! do
not pamper myself"
1t was this same "I'll get
well" spirit that stood her in
good stead when she got the
second retinal detachment
last March. This one, In her
left eye. hit her without warn
ing after weeks Of work prac-
ticing for q Rachmaninoff
concert that was two weeks
away.
This time in order to save
her sight, her surgeon had
to sew over an eye muscle,
which he assured her would
be corrected later after the
retinal surgery had a chance
to heal.
The temporarily impaired
eye looked off at an angle,
so that she couldn't co-ordi-
nate the vision in both eyes.

II would see the piano keys
and notes double. I had the
most awful nervous tension
working against these fac
tors" she recalled. But I
knew the doctor would OPP
crate on the muscle so that
gave me confidence. So I
tried to pursue my life nor
mally with that sort Of
handicap"
II think II people try they
can overcome almost any
thing"
She Did Try
Nine. Dmitrieff did try and
did overcome by applying to
her problem, she said, "the
pedagogical, disciplined APP
proach I have used all my
life In music" First she put

To those afflicted with sud-
den and severe visual impair
ment, 1t Is q relief TO dis
cover that eye surgeons have
kept pace with this age Of
electronic wizardry and space
exploration.
Courage, for the patient, Is
Just as necessary q requisite
as 1t is for an astronaut
launched on a precipitous or
bit into space.
The last eight months IN
the life Of Nine. Tamara
Dmitrieff have been months
Of Just such courage, viii
power and perseverance.
This Russian-born musician
and teacher Of piano here for
the last 80 years has had
three eye operations within
the last four years.
But it was the way she
faced fer convalescence from
the second operation eight
months ago that surprised
her friends. As q result Of the
operation, she suffered q
temporary complication Of
double vision, corrected re-
Gently with more surgery.
Long before that she met the
challenge and retrieved some
degree Of visual coordination
through her own efforts.
No Pain 4
1t is near tragedy for q
musician whose performance
is wholly dependent on good
eyesight and delicate muscu-
lar control TO suffer detached
retinas In both eyes. as Nine.
Dmitrieff did. For, though
there Is no pain, there is i'm
mediate impairment Of vision
that requires early surgery.
Improved methods Of sur
gerry have greatly increased
the chances for complete re-
covery of vision. However,
because Of the nature Of the
surgery and healing process
the results cannot be definite
" assessed by the physician
for several weeks and the
waiting period can be one Of
great anxiety and tension for
the patient.
The retina is the sensi-
tive membrane Of the eye,
which receives the image
formed by the lens and is the
immediate instrument Of Vi
sion as 1t is connected with
the brain by the optic nerve.
When It becomes detached,
mart mr. all of it tears away
rupturing some blood vessels
in the process, which explains
why the patient sees black
dots. The patient may also
experience brilliant flashes of
light and q cloud creeping
over his or her vision.
Special Glasses
To avoid further tearing.
she is put fiat on her back
with strict instructions not TO
turn her head, and is blind
folded to immobilize the eye
so the retina can settle back
in place before the operation.
Even after surgery, she must
lie flat until the surgeon
gives permission to sit up.
Modern techniques make that
possible within several days.
When she goes home from
the hospital, she's given q
pair Of glasses fitted with
little sponge rubber inserts
punctured in the center with
q pin hole. These are called
peep holes" They keep the
healing eye partially immob-
ilized and give q surprisingly
larger visual field than she
would have thought.
The period Of home con-
valescence varies with each
patient but it Is usually
from three to five weeks.
Then comes that glorious day
when the peep holes" come
off and the doctor says "re-
sumo normal activity" The
