Norcotics Traffic
The United States has no trade
with Communist China. It is'
strictly forbidden,
Even American tourists to the
Far East who may innocently
purchase something originating
in that Communist country are
sternly divested of it by United
States customs officials when
they reach home shores.
Despite this strict trade bar-
rier millions of dollars worth of
"goods" from Communist China
ere smuggled into the United
States every year,
The commodity is heroin.
United States. Commissioner of
Narcotics Harry J, Anslinger has
been particularly concerned
about the extent of this traffic
and the fact that it continues to
flourish. He has reported the
known facts concerning it to the
United Nations Commission on
Narcotic Drugs, of which he is
a member,
And he has reported some of
the fantastic methods used in
transportation of this illicit com-
modity in a revealing article en-
titled, "The Red Chinese Dope
Traffic," in the Military Police
Journal.
Almost every country co-
operates with other nations in
trying to curb and contain this
international traffic in narco-
tics .- except Communist China,
As far as the United States is
concerned authorities have found
that the most common "port of
entry" for narcotics is California.
It travels f r o ni Communist
China over the border into Hong
Kong where agents deliver it to
carriers who bring it here for
distribution to "dope rings,"
Even though some of these
agents in the Far East are known,
and the United States has noti-
fied authorities there of the facts
concerning them, Communist
China has taken no action.
In January, 1959, the narcotics
division of the Department of
the Treasury concluded an in-
vestigation involving 21 Chi-
nese conspirators participating
in a narcotics ring responsible
for the exportation of a "stag-
gering amount" of heroin to the
United States,
But the conspirators were be-
yond the jurisdiction of the
United States and nothing could
be done. However the trail event-
ually led to the proprietor of, a
men's clothing store in the heart
of San Francisco's Chinatown.
Here George W. Yee was found
to be masterminding the huge
drug ring in this country. He was
Eventually arrested along with a
fellow -conspirator, Jung Jim. It
took a year of careful and risky
investigation by undercover
agents to turn up sufficient evi-
dence to apprehend these and
other. ringleaders.
In another case, the Bureau of
Narcotics rounded up 30 smug-
glers directly connected with the
Communist China dope traffic.
The ringleader in this case was
George Douglas Poole who
supervised a vast operation from
San Francisco by which mer-
chant seamen smuggled heroin
sewed into their clothing.
This ring- had three sources
of heroin in Hong Kong. They
were known to seamen couriers
Only as Abdul, Call, and Gold -

band, it was hidden on the ship
until the • vessel cleared the last
port of call, Honolulu, when it
was removed and sewed into the
inner lining of a seaman's jacket.
When a longshoreman member
of the gang boarded the vessel in
the bay, along with other long-
shoremen, he would exchange
the jacket he was wearing with
that of the courier. Thus, the
local longshoreman would be al-
lowed to leave the vessel with-
out being searched.
All were eventually apprehend-
ed and received long sentences
which put an end to their opera-
tion for many years, writes Jose-
phine Ripley ' in the Christian
Science Monitor.
Two New York vendors of
heroin from Communist China
were Yu Hong Ting and his
wife, Leung Tam Yong Ting,
who operated a curio shop. Com-
missioner Anslinger relates that
a search of their -shop turned up
50 ounces of almost pure heroin,
hidden in novelty pillow cases
and in a large tea container,
Yu Hong Ting said he obtain-
ed his supply from a seaman
from Shanghai; Another New
York City seizure produced 25
pounds of crude opium in the
possession of three Chinese sea-
men.
Hawaii is a way -station often
used in the transportation 'of
these narcotics. One agent there
was a bit too trusting and hand-
ed out a "heroin sample" to a
United States narcotic agent.
Within 48 hours the peddler was
in the hands of the police, and
a briefcase containing the lar-
gest quantity of heroin ever seiz-
ed in Hawaii was -in •the' hands
of authorities.
Not only is the drug itself a
menace, but it is suspected that
money received for the heroin in
Communist China is also being
used against the free world._ For
instance, in 1955 it was dis-
covered that 40 per cent of some.
700 Communist agents arrested
in South Korea had narcotics in
their, possession "for the purpose
of raising fifth -column opera-
tions funds"
Commissioner Anslinger's hope
is that "eventually circumstances
will permit all countries to join
with our country in using the
medium of the United Nations
Commission on Narcotic Drugs
and other international forums
to marshal world opinion to
force Communist China to stop
.this traffic in poison and death."
BURSTING OUT THE ROOF --. Hundred's of boats in the hurri.,
cane area were damaged or sunk. In Freeport, Tex., cruisers
were moored under, shed roofs at a marina. Photo shows how
they beat themselves, through the roofs, finally breaking free,
as they floated upward on rising waters.
Looking At History
In A British Rood
Walking in the Weald under
the sun on a day in Winter
found a rod to do one good.
And I mean by that a recognition
of "road" as somewhere on
which, and along w hie h, one
might take pleasure in just liv-
ing, at that moment; in the bodi-
ly movements of one's own legs
and leathered feet er, say, in the
steady slow sway of a walking
horse.
This road .I found near the
place where the borders of Kent,
Surrey and Sussex meet not far
from' Cowden; It was Roman,
but it was no mere route over
the grass or through the woods,
to be followed with a map and
the eye of faith, This was the
road itself, the actual surface of
iron slag which the busy peo-
ple of that almost vanished civi-
lization used on their way from
Londinum Augusta to the set-
tlement where the town of
Lewes is today,
There were the faint wheel -
marks of their carts preserved
under the centuries' accumula-
tion of plough mould, now re-
moved ' for our benefit. The
short stretch is defended from
cows by a post -and -rail 'fence
and on this you can lean and
think. The fragments of slag
from the ironworks with which
this whole district was once
dotted are the waste from a
flourishing industry of Roman
Britain. - This was the rued
which carried the cast pigs of
metal, or the forged bars,
north to London to be made
into tools and nails, or to be
sent to some legionary work-
shop to be hammered into wea-
pons;"^this was the road also for
the route taking. the iron south
to the now lost ports of the
foreshore of Eastbourne and
Seaford (where, in those days,
the,Rive Ouse entered the
Chnnel) and Brighton, for ex-
port across the Channel.
You stare at the surface of
an actual Roman road, a thing
not .often to be seen, and the
slag is a deep purple in strong
sunlight. 'Down here in the quiet
you , can imagine the squeal of
axle -trees and the crunching of
the hoofs or the whistle of some
overseer of the works riding to
the little temple by this same
road's side ten miles or so north.
And the infant stream down
there in the hedge -bottom makes
the same quiet continuous
"chissssle" as it did eighteen
centuries ago. As its 'sound in-
creased in their ears the drivers
of the ironwork carts would
hold in their horses against the
send of the hill, and there, in
the slag surface, are the faint
marks of the ruts those wheels
-left behind them - yes, ,eigh-"
teen hundred winters ago; -
From "Who. Slept Here?" by
Alan Ivimep.
A Bit Different
From The Woodbine
The squat, 'dark-haired Rus-
sian in a red sport shirt leaned
over the railing at Moscow's one
and only race track last month,
shouting grimly, "Davai! Davai!"
("Let's got"), . He had 1 ruble
($L10) down on a three-year-
old mare named Cucaracha, who
faded dismally to finish sixth in
a field of eight. Klyaclla!
(roughly: "That bum.!"), mutter-
ed the 'Russian, as he tore up
his ticket and headed for the
betting window.
In a country where everything
is planned, in advance, the little
afternoon dramas at the Mos-
cow track are unique. It is per-
haps the uncertainty of the
results that attracts so many
Russians to the two-tiered, yel-
low concrete grandstand where
they pan lay their hard-earned
rubles on the line three days a
week (Wednesday, Saturday,
and Sunday) for trotters or flat
racers -and even, upon occasion,
for galloping troikas. The Mos-
cow , track consistently draws
some 5,000 Soviet fans, most of
whom seem to know each other.
They congregate in small groups
to discuss the horses and pass
on tips (there are no racing
forms in Russia), and they get
just as excited (and as disgust-
ed) over the results as their
capitalist confreres.
The U.S.S.R. Ministry of
Agriculture operates the track
and uses the profits to improve
the breed at state-owned "horse
factories."' Betting is to win
only, and prizes up to 400 rubles
are awarded not to the winning
horse in each race but to the
horse that shows the greatest
improvement,
The Hippodrome, as the Rus
sians call it, lacks the trimmings
of an Aqueduct or an Arlington.
There are no grassy carpets of
green, no fountains or fancy
restaurants, (Af ter each race,
the fans queue up at the half-
dozen snack bars for salami
sandwiches and soda pop.) Most
conspicuous by its absence Is
the tote board. Odds , err en).

Despite its popularity, the

tain future, The Soviet press
has been attacking betting as "a
' remnant of the bourgeois past,"
a corrupter of youth, and a de-
stroyer of family life,

She Plays For Kicks
— Also For Keeps!
Once, in a tennis match at
Wimbledon, Darlene Hard chas-
ed a wide shot, saw she couldn't
reach it, and deliberately sat
down on the linesman's knee,
"I don't plan those things," Miss
Hard said last month, during the
U.S. singles tournament at For-
est Hills, N.Y. "I just do them
on the spur of the moment."
Such 'unpremeditated actions
have won Darlene Hard a repu-
tation as an extrovert. "I don't
deny that I'm a clown," she
said. "After all, we're actors and
actresses out there."
The leading lady of U.S. ten-
nis, Miss Haid, 25, went into the
U.S. national championships
with two goals: To defend the
title she won in 1960 and to dis-
pel, criticism of her tennis tem-
perament. She has often been
accused of a lack of concentra-
tion on the courts. "I do seem
to have difficulties in concen-
trating," admitted tile sturdy
(5 -foot -6, 138 pounds) Califor-
nian. She shrugged. "That's life
in the big city. One day I'm
there; the next day I'm some-
where else."
Veteran Gardner Mulloy, 47,
perennial U.S. player and an
authority on extroversion, offer-
ed a specific criticism. "Darlene
has nearly everything - serve,
volley, speed and ground
strokes," said . Mulloy, who star-
tled ' staid Wimbledon this year
by wearing a sign saying: "If
You Can't Beat Me, You Need
Lessons." "But like most extro-
verts, she's a bully. She over-
powers her opponents until
somebody calls her bluff. Then
she folds."
How' Can I?
By Roberta Lee
Q. How canJ drive short tacks
into hard -to -get -at corners?
A. Force the tack through a
strip of paper, and hold the pa-
per in place with your left hand
as you drive in the tack with the
hammer in your right hand.
Q. Is there anything you can
sugest to renovate mirrors with
broken or badly damaged
frames?
A. Remove the oldframe, and
edge the mirror with decorative
paper, such as shelf or wallpa-
per. A one -inch strip of paper
is glued directly to the glass all
around the edges. The paper
can match or harmonize with
the color of the room in which
the mirror is to be hung.
You will never get ahead of
anyone as long as you are try-
ing to get even with him.
