Medford Tribune Second Section MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1956 Pages 110 Crackdown on Drug Peddlers Seen Way To 'Dry Up7 Trade Washington (U.R; Chairman Hale Boggs said yesterday pro posals by his House Ways and Means Subcommittee to crack down on narcotics violators may "dry up" the illegal drug trade in this country." The Louisiana Democrat plan ned to offer legislation to carry out the subcommittee recom mendations. The proposals in clude a mandatory jail term for anyone convicted of selling nar cotics. On Two Fronts ' The Boggs subcommittee would attack the narcotics rack et on two fronts: Stiffer penal ties for traffickers and posses sors of narcotics and beefed up iederal enforcement of anti narcotics laws. : "I think our recommendations will practically dry up the nar cotics traffic," Boggs told ji re porter. ; "A trafficker in narcotics will Jiave a harder time rounding up hoodlums to sell for him if they know that if they are caught, jeven if a first offense, it will mean going to jail." Jail Term, Fine : The subcommittes recommend ed that the penalty for sellers be set at five to 20 years for the first offense and at 10 to 40 years for subsequent violations. It also proposed fines of up to $20,000 to be fixed at the discretion of the court. But ' most significant, Boggs said, is the recommendation that the law permit no suspension of sentence or probation even for first offenders. Under present law, first-time offenders are subject to jail terms of two to five years and subsequent offenses can carry jail terms of up to 20 years. Fines may not . exceed . . S2000. However, federal court ' judges may suspend sentences or grant probation to first offenders.'
