0.C NARCOTCBLL WIN SOCEY A1 Medical Group Baoks Plan to Control Traffic by Local Jurisdiction. The Medical Society of the District of Columbia pledged support last night to a bill to be introduced at the next Congress to give the superintendent of police and the District heaith off- cer police power over the traffic in narcotic drugs. This measure, already in force in 28 States, has the approval of the American Medical Association and the American Bar Association, it was said. Under existing law, local authorities have no jurisdiction in cases of nar- cotic violations, the society members were told. It was pointed out that passage of the enabling legislation by all States and Territories will deprive violators of the narcotics laws of havens across State lines. The society also indorsed a proposed amendment to the act regulating the practice of pharmacy which would prohibit the sale of hypnotic drugs except on prescription. A recent sur- vey made by the Police Department, the society was informed, revealed that within 90 days 35 local drug stores sold nearly 150,000 hypnotic tablets. Restrictions contemplated by the amendment would make more difficult the accidental self-over-dosage re- sponsible for numerous deaths, the so- ciety declared. A resolution was approved calling for restoration of funds to the Gallinger Hospital budget to provide for sub- stantial increases in personnel. The shortage of nurses and other employes there is “deplorable,” it was agreed.

Walter Brower, special assistant to the Attorney General, was bombarded with questions in the Supreme Court yesterday as he argued for reversal of a lower court decision quashing in- dictments growing out of local hotel financing by Halsey, Stuart & Co. Brower, making his Supreme Court bow in the Halsey-Stuart case, spent his entire hour of allotted time an- swering queries on the Governmentis right to appeal The Halsey-Stuart company and others were indicted in 1932 by a Fed- eral grand jury in Wisconsin for al- leged use of the mails to defraud in sale of $2,500,000 bonds for the Ward- man interests, which formerly oper- ated and constructed many large ho- tels and apartments here. Brower maintained a Wisconsin Pederal judge who quashed the in- dictment had passed on matters of fact which should have been sub- mitted to a jury. Justice Van Devanter, dean of the court, halted him once with: *“Come to this case,” Smiling back at the stern line of faces above him, Brower said: “If LET'S GO PLACES ExcusionAs SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15 A Million Things to See in ONLY NEW YORK*35° Alse Newark, Plainfield & Elizabeth 'Trip- Leave Washingten, 1201 0. m. or B: RETURNING, lod New York 545 p.

Keenan, Assistant At- torney - in charge of the room, said the statute of limitations probably blocked the Government from obtaining new indictments. John W. Davis, who argued for Halsey-Stuart, was not questioned during his brief ples. He contended the Supreme Court had no jurisdic- tion for review. —————— SCHALL ASKS AUDIT By the Associated Press.
