“Dope Drive ‘Heat’ Is On Big Shots

By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 — Narcotics agents turned their | fire on “large-scale operators” today after a nationwide roundup of more than 500 known ‘drug peddlers. | Narcotics Commissioner Harry, J. Anslinger said the mass arrests in nearly ever major city in the] nation would be completed today.! The next step, he said, will be indictment of many big narcotics operators by a grand jury which] has been for more than a month, Yesterday's widespread crackedown, the greatest haul of drug: peddlers ever made in one day, laid the groundwork for the grand jury investigation, Mr. Anslinger said. Some big operators were. nabbed, he said, but they were not ncessarily the ones to be indicted by the grand jury.

66 Held in New York

Every person arrested in the) raids had sold drugs to a govern-' ment agent, Mr. Anslinger said. The Narcotics Bureau has had about 250 agents working under cover for more than a month preparing for the crackdown, he said. New York led the list of citiés in the crackdown with 66 arrests, | 13 of them women. Fifty persons were arrested in Philadelphia and more than 40 in Chicago. There were more- than 30 arrests in Washington and 24 in San Francisco, By states, Texas led with 1 arrests. Mr. Anslinger said, “We always have large-scale problems

there,’ mostly. with heroin brought from New York. Marijuana traffic from Mexico is a

problem in Texas, he said. Mr. Anslinger said the crackdown was sprung to show peddlers the practical effect of the recently-tightened narcotics law,
