Heroin a problem in nation’s capital Associated Press WASHINGTON — In the shadow of the federal government, where the nation’s top law enforce ment officials work to combat drug trafficking around the world, the strongest heroin in the country is ■ readily available. “If you want to buy heroin, you go where it’s easy to get,” says Lt. Hugh Irwin, commander of the U.S. Park Police narcotics branch. “And every body knows it’s easy to get in D.C.” The strong heroin is killing more people than ever — nine during one weekend in March and three in one night in May. “Some parts of this city ought to be declared a disaster area,” says Calvin Lockridge, d member of the school board From Anacostia, the poorest section of the city. District Police Chief Maurice Turner says that $190 million worth of heroin changes hands in the dis trict each year and that 16,000 ar rests for drug violations over the last two years have “not had an impact on the problem.” Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., who chairs the House Select Committee on Narcotics, says, “What I don’t un derstand is how ... in this small city, by New York’s standards, that we have given communities over to the drug pusher and say we are doing a great job.” Turner and others say part of the problem results from what is per ceived as relatively light sentencing for drug-related offenses. Dealers believe “D.C. is lenient and you don’t have to do time,” Turner says. “In Virginia and Maryland, dope peddlers know they’re going to get heavy time,” says Carl Jackson, spe cial agent in charge of the Drug En forcement Administration’s Wash ington field office. “Sentencing in D.C. is not that even. It sends a mes sage that this might be the place to come and try things.” 0VE~1» S<’^ M m n £ G0R OOI BS PREPARE FOR: MCAT Classes starting JUNE 16-JUNE 25 phone 696-3196 for details ' JEST PREjWfMjriCW SPEpiALpTS SMJE 1»J8 ~ 707 Texas Ave. 301-C \ SAY HELLO TO A GOOD BUY AGGIES, for a united time you can sign up for NO CHARGE!
