Physician and Woman Arresfed Here on Narcofics Charges Couple Described as Chief lllegal Suppliers In Capital During Year A 62-year-old physician and a 50- vear-old woman were arrested late yesterday by detectives and Federal narcotics agents and accused of being the principal illegal suppliers of narcotics in Washington during the past year. The physician, booked as Dr. Laurence Maxwell Hynson of the 1400 block of Rhode Island avenue N.W., was charged with violation of the Harrison Narcotics Act. Mrs. Janie Mae Jacobs, 900 block of I street NW., was charged with the same offense and in addition was booked on conspiracy charges. Bond of $3,000 each was set, pend- ing arraignment before United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage. Terry A. Talent, narcotics agent in charge of the Washington drea, explained the two had been under surveillance for some time and were believed responsible for most of the narcotics distributed illegally here for many months. The doctor was accused of writing prescriptions for more than 10,000 grains of narcotics in a year for persons not under his direct care as provided in the Harrison Act. The arresting officers named the woman as a “contact” who procured “pa- tients” and received a cut of the proceeds. In addition to Mr. Talent, in- vestigators on the case were L. W. Morrison and J. D. Brennan, also narcotics agents, and Detective Sergts. Robert S. Bryant and Hjal- mar H. Carper. Keurny (Continued From First Page.) have an excellent influence upon the service as a whole. The rapid recovery from shock of the explo- sion and the efficient efforts to overcome damage to communica- tions seems indicative of firm lead- ership and commendable spirit within the ship’s company. For this the commanding officer (Comdr. Davis) must be given full credit as the ship was placed in commission under his command. My personal observation has been that he has gained the respect and admiration of his crew. I can therefore sin- cerely recommend him for a suitable award.” Other Citations Given. Lt. Esslinger’s citation read: “For extraordinary heroism, as engineer officer of the Kearny, in keeping the engineering plant in operation under the most difficult circum- stances and with total disregard for his personal safety.” McDaniel's citation said: “For ex- traordinary heroism as chief ma- chinist’s mate in charge of the for- ward engine room * * * His knowl- edge, leadership, quick action under most difficult circumstances in mak- ing the engine room safe contrib- uted greatly to enable the vessel to make port.” Official letters of commendation from Secretary of the Navy Knox went to the Kearny’s executive offi- cer, Lt. Eugene Sylvester Sarsfield, Brooklyn, N. Y, and Ensign Reu- ben Noel Perley, jr., Riverside, Calif., who was in charge of the repgjr party. Lt. Sarsfield was commended be- cause of “leadership, personal cour- age under very trying conditions and ingenuity in solving the many prob- lems presented, indicating outstand- ing superior aqualities most desired in a Naval officer.” Ensign’s Ingenuity Praised. Ensign Perley was commended for *his untiring effort, total disregard | of personal safety and leadership, enabling his vessel to recover from the effect of the torpedo and make port.” The ensign’s “ingenuity in shoring bulkheads and clearing wreckage was a credit,” it was said, and his “performance was above and beyond the call of duty.” Those commended and advanced in rank by Admiral Ingersoll were: Robert Henry Paddock of Sau- quoit, N. Y., promoted from phar- macists's mate first class to chief pharmacist’s mate for “keeping alive the wounded and mentally shocked” until the ship’s arrival in port. Phy- sicians in port “highly praised his work.” Alfred John Booth of Ciifton Heights, Pa., raised from quarter- master (third class) to quartermas- ter (second class) for remaining at his steering station and shifting to hand steering although “alone and | trapped if the ship went down.” Muscoe Coleman Holland of Edge- water, N. J., advanced from seaman | (first class) to coxswain for running to the aid of Booth “with complete | | have an extra hour before darkness | viet workers to prison terms ranging disregard of his personal safety.” knowing Booth was alone and un- able to get out of the steering com- partment. Indianan Promoted. Harold Charles Barnard of Linton, 1Ind., promoted from shipfitter (third class) to shipfitter (second class) for checking all “water-tight compart- ments” although stunned by the explosion and uncertain if the ship would remain afloat. Samuel Robert Kurtz of Erie, Pa., promoted from torpedoman (third 1 ) to torpedoman (second class) of calmness and is display d compound fractures of both legs and severe loss of blood. Admiral Ingersoll reported that Henry J. Leenknecht, chief yoeman, of Whippany, N. J., at the risk of his life went to the rescue of Kurtz “on the starboard wing of the bridge, which had been almost completely shot away.” Kurtz, temporarily Blinded and with both legs broken, “was crawling overboard when res- cued by Leenknecht.” Admiral Ingersoll also commended ‘Harold Edler McDougal, chief quar- termaster, Seattle, Wasl Edward Mann, Marshalltown, Towa, and Benjamin John Van Blake, sailmaker’s mate, 1st class, Norfolk, Va.

Officials Start Work This Week on Draft Registration Plans 80,000 Between 20 and 45 to Be Enrolled Here February 16 By THOMAS C. HARDMAN. ; engaged in. supplying increasingly large numbers of men for war-time Army inductions, will divert part of their attention this week to preliminary arrangements for the February 16 registration of 80,000 men between the ages of 20 and 45. Conferences with school officials will be scheduled within the next few days to map plans for use of 50 school buildings as registration cen- ters. Selective Service Director Wil- liam E. Leahy has asked that public school teachers serve as registrars to enable the personnel of local draft boards to continue uninter- rupted their classification of oid registrants to fill current quotas. ‘The number of teachers needed as registrars and the amount of space required in the designated achools are major items to be discussed with school officials. Total of 9,000,000 Expected. Nationally, 9,000,000 men are ex- pected to be registered in the new enrollment, and officials indicated yesterday that in many sections of the country the registrations will get undeg way before the desfgnated day for purposes of convenience. The hours from 7 am. to 9 pm. February 16 have been set by Presi- dent Roosevelt as the time for reg- istration of all men between the ages of 20 and 45 who have not been registered prior to that time. National headquarters spokesmen explained that there was nothing in the regulations to prevent reg- {strations before that date if such suited local draft registration. This pre-date system probably will be followed in many of the country’s agricultural and industrial areas, it was explained, to avoid loss of man hours in the defense effort. “We realize that every minute counts for defense workers,” one official explained, “and we don’t in- tend to take a single man away from his job if it is possible to reg- ister him otherwise.” Special Offices in Plants. Registration facilities in many instances literally will be taken to potential registrants employed in important war industries, it was said, with special offices being set up within the confines of arma- ment plants. This will be & decided contrast to the first registration on October 16, 1940, when President Roosevelt called on the Nation’s employers to allow their employes sufficient time off, if necessary, in which to regis- ter. | National headquarters, mean- while, has lifted the ban on publi- cation of the names of registrants about to be inducted into the Army. Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey noti- fled State directors yesterday that the policy of restricting information about procurement of men for the armed services had been altered to this extent, but that no informa- tion should be given out on the number of men covered by quotas and calls. He said also that there now was no objection to the public posting of names of men who have entered the service from a com- munity. Present indications are that the pool of new registrants will not be | | drawn to fill induction quotas until the supply of class 1-A men now enrolled is exhausted, which means | that new men need not anticipate | their call to service for several months after their registration in most instances. Million Await Induction. Although many local boards have been reported “scraping the bottom of the barrel” for available men, officials have estimated that more than 1,000,000 class 1-A men are awaiting induction throughout the country. No estimates have been made as to the number of potential Class 1-A men expected to be made avail- able by the new registration, al- though it is generally agreed that deferments will be extremely heavy |in the upper age brackets. The | principal reserve will be provided in the 20 and 21 age groups, where deferments for dependents, physicali defects and necessary occupations | naturally will be few.

Officials estimated the damage at $2,250,000. The grain was valued at $1 a bushel, the elevator at $750,- 000.
