Shanghai Terrorism Suppression Urged by Consular Body
Shanghai August 2 The Shanghai consular body urged the municipal council to eradicate terrorism and pressed for full police and foreign defense force cooperation including a teen regiment of U S Marines. A public statement after the meeting did not state whether the defense forces would take a more active policing role. Twelve pounds of marihuana seized by Deputy Sheriffs Lennis Brice and Elton Gude were turned over to the district attorney. The dope stems from five states and would fetch about $4000 to wholesale dealers. The largest single haul was 3 1/2 pounds, with Cade and Brice posing as buyers to trap sellers. Marihuana, often wild grown in Nebraska and Kansas, is now sold in Texas for 40 cents to $1 per smoke. Brice and Gude have arrested six to eight dope peddlers this year and are credited with solving 22 hijackings, four burglaries, three fowl thefts, two thefts from persons, and one old murder case.
