Feds Make All-Out
Drive Break Up
Narcotic Rings
By CHARLES F. BARRETT
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Federal
agents prowled through the sinis
ter narcotics underworld today,
seeking even bigger game than
any of the 500 suspected dope
peddlers already seized in a
sweeping nation-wide dragnet.
Narcotics Commissioner Harry
J. Anslinger said the roundup,
which started before dawn Fri
day and continued around the
clock, is laying the groundwork
for capture of some of the na
tion’s biggest illicit drug dealers.
A grand jury investigation al
ready under way will lead to cap
ture of some national racket kings
within three weeks, Enslinger
predicted.
He added he couldn’t say where
the jury is working because “if
we even mentioned the name of
the city, some of the men who
are talking will be killed.”
Meanwhile, the commissioner
gave credit for the biggest mop
up of dope peddlers ever staged,
to undercover men who pose as
illicit dealers. They work their
way into the heart of the crime
world, risking their lives to put
racketeers behind bars.
About 100 federal agents and
200 government-paid informers
are remaining underground to
continue the cleanup, he said.
Scores had to give up their roles
of danger and intrigue to make
the arrests and appear in court
with evidence.
Anslinger said illicit drug traf
fic has been dealt a crippling
blow. The drive is aimed especial
ly at suppliers of teen-age drug
addicts.
Things that stand cold weather
best are bears, reindeer and fem
inine knees.
Hybrid Cubs, Offspring
Of Brown and Polar Bears,
Very Rare, Do Not Live
WASHINGTON, (/P) — All of
the double-hybrid bear triplets,
born New Year’s at the Washing
ton zoo, are dead.
They were second generation
offspring of an Alaska brown
bear and a polar bear. Their hy
brid parents were rare and
double-hybrids are rarer still.
