NEARS 10 MILLION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.— Ten Indiana housing projects have total | | commitments amounting to $9,264,000 | [from ‘the United States Housing i | Authority, Nathan Straus, Administrator, reported today. Of the total, $2,450,000 is earmarked and $6,814,000 under contracts, he said. > Local housing authorities with approved contracts include: : Delaware County, $427,000; Gary, $2,825,000; Hammond, $1,470,000; Kokomo, $634,000; Muncie, $1,141,000,

and Vincennes, $317,000. Earmarkings are East Chicago,

Dr. Herman Glueck, an archeologist credited’ with discovering a seaport and smelting plant built by King Solomon on. the Red Sea about 2500 years ago, says mod-

estly: i “I didn’t discover it—I just dug up.” Dr. Glueck was a guest of Butlor University at a luncheon at e Later he lectured at Butler on his work as director of the American Schools of Oriental Research at Jerusalem. He said he wasn't going to talk any politics but he did say if the world kept on the way it was going

Of the 23,131 tons of the drug, weed destroyed in all states by law enforcing agencies, 10,207 tons and 1864 pounds were destroyed in InThe state making the nearest to that, record was Texas, which found and destroyed 6296 tons, 10 pounds. Illinois found and destroyed 4198 tons, 1779 pounds; Ohio, 308 tons, 1964 pounds; Kentucky, 1324 pounds, and Michigan, 50 tons, 468 pounds.

Grown Legitimately

During the year the plant, called Indian hemp, was legitimately grown in Illinois, Kentucky, Wisconsin and Minnesota, and in Vermillion, Warren and Fountain Counties in Indiana. Seeds and fibre have & commercial value. -/.Gene W. Ryan state inspector of the marijuana enforcement division, , reported that the largest volunteer] growths of the hemp are found in Starke, Cass, St. Joseph and Kosciusko Counties. This has been traced back to 25 years ago when it was believed that the cultivation of the hemp would be commercially profitable, But the history of Indian hemp, Mr. Ryan said, is almost as ancient as the history of man.

Problem for Centuries

“The origin' of marijuana,” he said, “is shrouded in the mists of antiquity. For centuries it has been a problem in many parts of the world. Abroad it is called kif, | bhang, ganji and hashish, In un-; derworld slang it is called tea, hay, reefers, muggles and sticks. “In the 11th century we had in Persia the Military Order of Hashishins or Berh Eaters. We learn that they made use of the drug to serve their purpose in crime and murder. From the word hashishin | comes the English word ‘assassin’ which aptly describes the powers of the drug. Used in Bird Seed

“The plant has been cultivated for the fibre cut of which rope, twine, bags, cloth and hats are made or for the seed, used as a constituent of . commercial bird seed, or from which may be ex-. tracted a rapidly drying oil used in the manufacture of some paints and of soap and linoleum. ' “In addition to its legitimate uses, there are dangerous illicit practices of eating the resinous exudation or smoking the powdered leaves and flowers, habitually indulged in by about 2,000,000 persons. “Experimental work indicated that the symptoms produced b marijuana resemble those caused by alcohol. Moderate effects are characterized by general weakness, and either a noticeable dulling of the mental faculties or mental excitation, loss of interest in the sur_roundings and some mental confu-

sion. Stimulates Imagination

“After smoking two or three reefers the subject’s ability to control his thoughts and actions is lessened. Continuity of thought is displaced by disconnected ideas; there is a feeling of exhilaration and power and energy. Illusions are common and the imagination is stimulated, perhaps to the point of delerium and sometimes hallucinations, pleasing, ludicrous, gruesome or sensual, depending largely upon the turn of mind of the subject, are marked features.

It is free from the subversive influences which the Dies Committee has found to exist in so many other places. ‘ “It has no glamorous ultra-rich ‘400, It is composed of good, honest-to-God people, the same warp and woof thet brought about the birth of this nation out of the travail of Old World oppression. and in the fullness of time :made it great beyond comparison among. the nations of the earth.”
