Investigation by the State Phar
macy board into the sale of nar"
eotics to prominent members of
the Hollywood movies colony has
been progressing for three weeks,
according to a statement by
Louis Zeh, secretary of the
board. "We arc not concent rat
ing so much on users as we are
on sellers," Zeh said.
"While we have determined
drugs are being supplied to
prominent members of the motion
picture industry, it would be
a libel on Hollywood to say there
was any concentration of selling
and consumption of narcotics
there." said Zeh's statement. As
a matter of fact evil may be far
worse in other places in South
ern California and elsewhere be
cause our investigations are
meeting with great difficulties in
other places, while we have been
given more nr less a free hand in
Hollywood. The board is inves"
tigating the Wallaee Keid case,
but only in connection with the
sale of dugs to those in the mo
