Bill Submitted To Combat Drug Uses Termed First Step In Addiction Fight INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — A measure described by one of its authors as “the first step in a program to combat drug addiction” was one of a flood of 44 new bills introduced in the house of representatives Wednesday, in a fullday seSsion. Rep. Jack E. Caine, who joined with Rep. Elsie Raining, both Evansville Democrats, in sponsoring the measure, explained: "Use of barbiturates by teenagers often is the first step toward getting into serious narcotics. This bill gives the-police something to hold a barbiturate possessor on long enough to find out where he is getting the stuff.” Caine said that use of “goof balls” in cokes is widespread and represents not only a state, but a national problem. He pointed out that such drugs are habit-forming, and that the desire to obtain the continued “kick” they give leads to "theft, prostitution and other crimes.” The Evansville lawmaker said that the measure prepared by himself and Mrs. Barning, with the advice of several law enforcement officials and others, provides for arrest for possession of barbiturates without a physician’s certificate. Under the measure, a person holding unauthorized barbiturates could be jailed for as long as 60 days and carries a maximum fine of SIC’J. Exceptions are made for. possession of the drugs by physicians, deptists, osteopaths and drug salesmen. ■ , .-4 Caine said that present law specifies that barbiturates are not to be sold without a prescription, but that despite this, the drugs are easily obtained without such an order from a doctor. Tavern Closed On Gambling Charge Precedent Set By State Commission INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — The Indiana alcoholic beverage commission has ordered the precedentsetting closure of an Indianapolis tavern. The ABO ordered immediate revocation of license of the,Sho-Bar Tavern, where police satd gambling equipment and names oi ’l.flOo Involved in a citywide lottery were seized in a raid, Jan. 20. This is believed to be the first time a license was revoked solely because of a gambling raid. At a hearing before the Marion county liquor board, the tavern’s .license renewal plea was denied. A spokesman accused the board and the ABC of a predetermined ruling in refusing to renew the permit which would have expired Feb. 23. Joseph E. Mazelin, attorney for the tavern owners, Charles E. Walker and Frank E. Wilmoth, said: "In the last few weeks alone this commission and the Marion county board has approved licenses of taverns having from one to as many as seven convictions for gaming. “The Sho-Bar Tavern in question has never had a conviction, nor has it ever been punished by the ABC in the 10 or 11 years of its operation.” e.— - Theft Os Six Hogs is Reported By Farmer Arnold Thieme of rout five reported the theft of six hcgs from his farm some time during tbe past week. Thieme discovered the these Wednesday when he was preparing to sell the hogs. He told sheriff Merle Affoldet that each of the hogs weighed about 180 to 200 pounds.
