United States Army, APO 343.

1. Reference: Letter, this headquarters, file AGJ 250.1 PIJ, dated November 5, 1954, subject: Establishment of Uniform Narcotics Information Controls, RCS FEC-PIJ-1.

2. Quarterly reports for the period October 1, 1954, through December 31, 1954, have been received and consolidated. Four copies of the consolidated report are inclosed.

3. No attempt has been made to evaluate this report in comparison with the two onetime reports previously received and consolidated. Any comparison for the purpose of establishing trends will be based on consideration of this and future regular quarterly reports.

4. Paragraph Ala of the inclosed report indicates the probability of duplication arising from the fact that an individual may be reported by both the apprehending service and the parent service where those services are different in a single case. At this time it is not believed that the detailed cross-servicing of records necessary to eliminate this duplication would prove of sufficient value to be justified. Therefore, the existence of this duplication is being noted in the report form and its existence will be emphasized by this headquarters at any time the information contained in the report is made available to personnel outside of the military establishment.

CONSOLIDATED NARCOTICS REPORT, OCTOBER 1, 1954, THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1954

A. LAW ENFORCEMENT

1. Cases: The following figures include the total number of cases which investigation resulted in referral to trial by courts-martial, hospitalization, or evacuation from the theater. Figures are based on individuals investigated and do not reflect multiple offenses by one individual. Although not technically "offenders" persons voluntarily turning themselves in as narcotics users are shown in this section. It is emphasized that a certain amount of duplication exists in the information reported in the subparagraphs of this paragraph. This duplication results from the fact that a single case may be reported both by the apprehending service and the individual's parent service where those two services are different.

2. Offenses (reflects offenses, whether or not more than 1 offense is attributable to 1 individual):

3. Disposition (action taken by law enforcement or investigative agencies in cases enumerated in section A1 above):

D. Factors which may have affected increase or decrease in figures for all or any part of this reporting period :

1. Furnished by United States Army Forces, Far East, Eighth Army:
(a) Southwest Command renewed educational emphasis in October
with a new leader's antinarcotic lecture, complete with visual aids,
which was distributed to regional camps for orientation of troop leaders.
(b) Overall troop strength was reduced.

(c) Flow of R. and R. personnel was reduced.

(d) Japanese police conducted profitable narcotics raids. At Beppu, 40,000 ampules of ohton were seized. At Miye 173 packages of synthetic narcotics were seized. A report from the Japanese Government covering the third quarter of 1954 lists 130 important seizures and 46 others of lesser importance.

(e) It has come to the attention of the AFFE/8A surgeon that defendants in courts-martial involving use of narcotics have accounted for positive findings of opium alkaloids in their urine by stating that they had taken medicines such as diarrhea mixtures and cough mixtures prior to laboratory analysis of the urine. Measures are being instituted to instruct dispensaries and hospitals not to issue these medicines in quantities larger than 60 cubic centimeters (2 ounces).
