By the same token those men who have dedicated their lives to law enforcement are constantly seeking r the cause of another disease,a social disease,called ` crime. Probably the most vicious underlying cause of crime uncovered by these probers is that of narcotic addiction. However this subject has been greatly abused by certain types of publications and inac curate reporting. Glaring headlines have buried the true relationship of crime and narcotic addiction in a mass of sensationalism, hysteria and misunder- standing. In order to clarify this relationship it must be un- derstood that addiction does not create the criminal. ^a One does not take an injection of heroin or morphine 1'{ or smoke a marijuana cigarette and suddenly make <+ a Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde transformation into a master of crime.If this were the case,a physician would be afraid to give his patient a shot of pain relieving drug,for fear that he might suddenly find his patient 'i,"" San Quentin bound.

In the following paragraphs we will endeavor,in a general way, to show the causes of addiction, its AM 4-5051 P. 0. BOX 1829 effects and what is being done to combat it and if this article turns one person away from its use, we will feel well rewarded. THE CREATION OF AN ADDICT At the turn of the century the addiction rate in the United States was extremely high. One out of every TRAILS ROUNDUP four hundred persons was addicted to some form of narcotic. This high degree of addiction had been brought about by the unrestricted dispensing of CHUCK WAGON DINNERS medicines containing various types of addicting drugs and over which there were no governmental controls. Cocktails- Dining & Dancing- F'co;Snows Alarmed at the high rate of addiction,many cities Hosts-TOMMY& JOHNNIE AN and states as well as the Federal Government en- acted laws controlling the dispensing and sale of narcotics. In 1915 the Harrison Act went into effect. AM 8 8488 2531 b'. sbridge This act placed a tight restriction on the importation and sale of narcotics and has been further streng- thened over the years by further regulatory amend- ments. By 1950 the addiction rate in the United States had been lowered to an out of eve addict ratio of one every three thousand.However one disturbing EVERYBODY'S MARKET fact came to to the attention of the narcotics investi- gators and that was the increase in the number of juveniles arrested for drug addiction. One major city reported that one out of every five arrested was a juvenile with one being only twelve years old.

A THREE WAY OFFENSIVE Now that we have shown the creation of an addict, the road he must travel and his ultimate end, the question arises as to what is being done to stamp 2206 SOUTH VAN NESS out this evil. There are three lines of attack in this fight; education, hospitalization and enforcement of FRESNO existing laws.

CHINESE FOOD The humane weapon, hospitalization, is designed and employed to aid the real victim of this war, the BA 2-1513 FRESNO 2441 NO, 1ST addict himself. To cure the addict would remove the market and thus stamp out the illicit sale of narcotics. This has proven to be an uphill battle on two fronts. The first being a great shortage of facilities and the COMPLIMENTS second being the high relapse rate of the patients released from these instiutions. The United States Government is leading the fight OF in this field,assisted by the various states,some on a full time basis, others on a limited basis. The nwa: notable of these is the 1500 bed hospital at Lexfn.j- RODDER'S ton, Kentucky where the narcotic addict is acce-woc. and treated on a voluntary basis. To explain the reason for voluntary treatment it mist 1:e understood MADEMOISELLE that the.addict must have an Parnest clesire to he cured;he cannot be forced or driven to a permanent cure. The time a patient requires to effect a cure de- pends upon the individual. The minimum period is set at approximately four and one-half months with some remaining as high as two years. The cured patient must carry with him, upon his release, an intense desire to remain free of the drug and fight temptation at every turn of the road. However in 1045 FULTON STREET this regard, there is a disappointingly high rever- sion rate. The known relapse rate attributed to one institution was an alarming 39.6. The unknown re- lapses would probably raise this to a much higher figure. This line of attack must be continued and enlarged despite the setbacks. I The main line of offense in this three pronged DESIGNS FOR 1-1VING attack is that of enforcement, which is aimed at the DRAPER11=5 - CAIZF[TII iG - WALLPAPER very roots of this evil. This battle Is being�ipged°n BA 7 721 FRFSNG 2403 E. CLINTON four levels; international, national, state and local. �� Through the United Nations over forty nations, in- DEL MONTE CAFE cluding United States,have banded together to fight world wide traffic. The agreement reached has two basic concepts.

EAST TULARE AND BACKER On the national scene, the nation's legislators are CL 5-0622 FRESNO constantly at work investigating the narcotic problem and enacting the laws needed to curb the illicit BUD AND LIL'S traffic in drugs. A notable example of this is the 481 NORTH FRESNO STREET recent Price-Daniel Amendment to the Federal Nar- FRESNO cotic Law. This act designed, as a deterrent to the sale of narcotics to juveniles,provides that the death EL TRIUMFO penalty may,.at the discretion of the jury,be inflicted, or a minimum ten year prison sentence for the sale of heroin to a person under the age of eighteen. In 1323 KERN FRESNO the event of the sale of marijuana or other narcotic to a minor, the amendment provides a ten to forty CLO-BELL TEXACO SERVICE Year sentence.

As a final clincher DALRYMPLE TRUCKING CO. the act provides that all prison sentences imposed must be served in their entirety without benefit of AD 7-0503 probation, parole or suspension of sentence. 380 N.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLIF` NEW METHOD OF DETECTION FOUND 220 M STREET FRESNO In approaching the matter of narcotics enforcement on the slate level it becomes necessary to discuss the service rendered the peace officers of the State of CLOVER CLUB California by the medical profession. The doctor has always been a constant ally of the peace officer, 2039 KERN FRESNO supplying vital information and testimony in homi- cide and allied cases and in numerous other instan- ces. However in the field of drug addiction,the medi- WAYNE SMITH GARAGE cal world has uncovered a new and positive weapon for use in detecting the narcotic addict. This new 1727 G STREET FRESNO weapon is called Nalline. The narcotics investigator has long been in need FLAT TOP RETREAD PLANT of a method or test wheieby person's addiction could AND be positively determined. A test which was simple, FLAT TOP FLYING "A" accurate and requires little time and equipment. In 2919 HIWAY 99 the past, narcotic investigation has had to rel AM 6-9957 physical examination of the suspect, check n on a FRESNO needle marks, and the eye g for OXYGEN & WELDING pupil response to light. This old method resulted in the successful SUPPLIES prosecu- KERN & P STREETS FRESNO 16 tlon of only a few of the many addicts. Nalline has A. E. CALLAHAN, Real Estate proven to be the long sought answer. Nalline with the tongue twisting name of N-Allyl- 320 BLACKSTONE FRESNO normorphine hydrochloride is in itself a narcotic,but is known as a narcotic antagonist. It is employed by ANGELO'S DRIVE IN General Hospitals in cases where new born babies have been anesthetized from an opiate administered 710 W. OLIVE FRESNO to the mother.In surgery it is used to alleviate respir- atory depression. It is further used in treating pa- tients suffering from an overdose of an opiate such as heroin, morphine and the like. Then in the eyes 2972 S. ELM of the investigator,comes its main use—the diagnos- ing of those unfortunates addicted to the use of such opiates as heroin, morphine, methadone and David H. Horn M.D.Mortland dilaudid. ARCH. ARCH. The Nalline test, as previously stated, is fairly 2016 MERCED simple. First the diameter of the pupil of the eye of the suspected addict is measured with a simple de- CENTRAL TILE & MARBLE vice called a pupilmeter and then three milligrams of Nalline are injectetd under the skin. In about 3707 E. BELMONT thirty minutes the subject is again examined and the FRESNO eye pupil measured. If there is no narcotic present the pupil of the eye will contract from a half a milli- LAWRENCE WAREHOUSE gram to as much as two milligrams. However in cases where the person is a user the pupil will dilate 747 R STREET FRESNO and the extent of addiction can then be determined by the degree of the dilation.Where the diameter of Me SHERRY & CO. the pupil remains constant after the injection of INSURANCE Nalline,then the person is determined to be only an T. W. PATTERSON BLDG. FRESNO occasional user. In other words there must be a marked contraction in the pupil before a subject is deemed to be a non-user.It must also be understood that this test is used in detecting the foregoing named MEWCOPRODUCTS drugs and cannot be used in the detection of mari- juana addicts or users of sedatives such as barbitu - ates, paraldelyde, chloral hydrates and bromides, Fertilizers - Seeds - Insecticides & Herbicides l Nalline, used previously at the Public Health Service Hospital at Lexington to bring out gross Melville E. Willson withdrawal symptoms in heavily addicted persons, came to the attention of Dr. James D. Terry, of Ala- Com an meda County in 1955. Dr. Terry, Medical Director of P 1 Alameda County Santa Rita Rehabilitation Censer, and interested state and county authorities conducted P. 0. Box 1168 a series of experiments. As stated, Nalline had been previously at Lexing- 1805 No. Lafoyerte Avenue ton to bring on the nausea,vomiting,perspiring and severe muscular cramps suffered by the addict dur- Fresno, California ing withdrawal.

POORE,Deputy Mentally III Detail,Administrative Division An alert Deputy Sheriff on routine night patrol �UI noted the old car parked off the roadway in a little U� U used side yard. He'd never seen any cars there be- fore and recalled that the owners of the exclusive home were away. After noting the license number of the car, the patrolman continued on his rounds. Within a day,this small notation was to play a major part in solving a$10,000 burglary and resulted in the E capture of the gang who preyed upon a lovely home filled with treasure. 3 When the report of a burglary came into the Sheriffs Office, deputies investigated and found the house had been ransacked of guns, silver, furnish- ings and other valuable items. Clues were few and the officers began sifting of the meagre evidence, questioning neighbors at the scene of the break-in and checking files. Before long they were reading the report made by the patrolman on duty the night of the theft.Here was something worth checking and the license number of the parked car was checked out. The car belonged to a Fresno man and officers were dispatched to question him.At the home of the now suspect car owner, deputies found the entire loot hidden within the house. So the burglary, l several others, was solved, the stolen property re- _i turned to its rightful owner and the culprits were duly _ tried and convicted, all due to the alertness and 'r training of the Fresno County Sheriff's Office Patrol Division deputies. One of the most important divisions of any major "BOB" KEMPEN, Director law enforcement agency is the patrol division and FRESNO CREDIT BUREAU Fresno County Sheriff Melvin Willmirth is justly oad proud of his own agency. Headed by Lt. Donald MEDICAL DENTAL BUREAU 25 SUCCESSFUL YEARS Christopher, the patrol functions much like a well H. L. NICOLA, Manaaer oiled machine. Suburban areas outside the City of Fresno are patrolled 24 hours a day,365 days a year. Hundreds of calls a month are checked out and the deputies are called upon to handle everything from preliminary investigations of felonies to assist- Chris Sorensen ing other law enforcement agencies in attempting to settle neighborhood arguments. Packing Co. As In the case cited above,patrolmen are always alert, checking any suspicious incident or object or FWestern Wagon Wagon Wheel person.In the matter of a suspicious car,for instance, the patrolman thinks of abandonment, that the car BRANDS may, have been used in the commission of a bur- Growers-Packers -Shippers glary or robbery,or it may be a stolen vehicle.First, QUALITY CALIFORNIA FRUIT he checks for the registration slip with the owner's PARLIER namO and address.If this is ldcking,he then checks Phone Mltchell 6-2721 the license number or motor number.On his return to headquarters, the patrolman sends in a request to 99 -- the Sacramento office of the Department of Motor Vehicles for the registered owner of the car and a TRUCK DISPATCH SERd further check to find out if the car is wanted in con- nection with a crime or if it has been stolen.

Turning down a quiet street in a residential sec- VISTA HARDWARE tion the Patrol Deputy suddenly spots the figure of CL 5-2786 4305 E. TULARE a man lurking in the shadows or sauntering down FRESNO the sidewalk. The hour is late and the mans dress and demeanor is not in keeping with the general HERBERT SCHWARTZ CO. appearance of the neighborhood.

RUBE'S COFFEE TIME This is a nightly occurance and is carried out quietly and efficiency and in most cases the residents are 2326 VENTURA AVENUE unaware that anything unusal occured. Many times the beat patrolman is called upon to act as a crime prevention unit. At these times, the MAXWELL STUDIOS culprits are generally juveniles who are violating AD 3-2629 415 BLOCKS- the county curfew ordinance. Rival gangs of teen- FRESNO agers may be planning a gang-fight and if the offi- cers intervene a fight can be prevented and the boys BLACKSTONE NURSERY returned to their homes before trouble developes. Generally, the patrolmen are dispatched through 4549 N BLACKSTONE BA 7 -;1 8 the Sheriff's Office and it is interesting to follow some of these calls from the time of their receipt until the NORI AVAKIAN call, the investigation and the case are completed. GENERAL CONTRACTOR Calls come in to the telephone operator who routes BUILDER OF CUSTOM HOMES the call to the desk, where the desk officer gets the 530 SAFFORD AM 4-1029 facts of the complaint, the complaintant's name and address and the nature of the call.
