...York. Since he could not produce bail, he was tossed into the county jail in Riverhead to await trial in jail, he found just what he was looking for. Young first offenders, as he wrote last week, were locked up in filthy, verminous cells with second and third offenders, dope addicts and sexual degenerates. One aged psychopath, who screamed all night, four days after his release committed suicide by taking rat poison. For exercise, his cellmates' chief amusement was to strip to the waist and beat one another black & blue. Young prisoners staged "aspirin" parties to get "high...
...only on a "one-man survey"-to "check the trade" and get an "on-the-ground approach" to the "big picture." That means, of course, both "sales-wise" and "production-wise."

...Houston, where the big G.G. test was made (TIME, July 14), authorities still had a many-pointed problem: what to do with 33,127 syringes. Though they were intended to be discarded after use, care had to be taken lest they fall into the hands of dope addicts. Somebody suggested dropping them down a 5,000-ft. oil boring, then sealing it with concrete. Last week they were melted down in a 2,000° incinerator, then the vitreous mass with needles embedded in it was buried under ten feet of garbage...
