Physician Is “Returned to « Jail After Third Attempt | To Arrange Bond.

Investigation of ‘State Reformatory: Fecords revealed today - that

-ordets for narcotics at the institii-|

‘tion during the last year were about 10 times greater than normal con-

sumption.

= Gene Ryan, head of the Narcotics Division of the State Health De-

‘partment. said that records will

show that Dr. Elmer J. Kalal, former Reformatory chief surgeon,

ordered thousands of dollars worth|

‘of narcotics that “apparently were peyer used on inmates.” Kalal, who is. held for the Pera Grand Jury on charges of furnishing dope to wholesale ped--dlers, failed at a third ‘opportunity today to furnish the $10,000 bond fixed by U. 8. Commissioner Fae W. Patrick yesterday.

Returned to Jail * When brought from the Marion

~ County Jail to the Federal Building

his prospective bondsman failed to ‘appear and he was returned to jail. Federal investigators and Mr.

‘Ryan went to Pendleton today to

make a complete check of medical records at the Reformatory Hospital. “We will attempt to determine how much substitutes were used on inmates and how many grains of narcotics were ordered under the institytion’s narcotic permit,” Mr. Ryad said. “All we know now is that it was an enormous amount.” ‘Elmer J. Crews, head of the Ina Federal Narcotics Bureau, said at a preliminary check showed that previous doctors at the Reformatory administered only small amounts of narcotics. .

. Orders ‘Enormous’

“The normal. supply in previous years has been almost negligible,

" but during the last six months Re-

formatory orders for narcotics have Ben enormous,” Mr. Crews said. Dr. Kalal was arrested at the Reformatory Wednesday night after Federal and State officials said an informer purchased opium and co-

' caine from him for $90. The “buy”

followed a six-weeks investigation. %, Joseph E. Walsh, a Federal Nargotic agent, testified at Dr. Kalal’s arraignment before the Commis-

wm RESISTANCE TO NAZIS

BUCHAREST; - Rumania, March 1 (U.’P.)—A high Rumanian source

indicated today that Rumania

would take a strong stand against, any German pressure. for large increases in delivery of ‘her products —especially oil. SB Rumania, this official said, has discovered many new markets for her products and has also found

markets where she can purchase

needed manufactures. -

* Therefore, he said, thi country is {no longer compelled to’ depend on’

Germany as in the pasts “The time is gone; he said, when Rumania must beg for the co-operation -of European powers. They are now seeking her out with offers to cooperate. The comment was made in connection with the scheduled visit late next. week of Dr. Karl Clodius, the German trade expert, to Bucharest. How far it reflected the opinion of the Government was uncertain, but there is a general belief that Dr. Clodius will be unable to fulfill the instructions he is reported to have been given. The plan--existence of which still lack confirmation—reportedly would provide a German guarantee of Ru-

- |mania’s frontiers until the end of

the war in return for a large increase in exports to the Reich, and for demobilization of most of Ru-

mania’s armed forces.

sioner that Dr. Kalal bought more narcotics than all the doctors in In- | dianapolis last year.
