Golesbur LBS Presents Story Two Parts "The CBS- later. fly CHARLES MERCER NEW YORK Twen ticth Century offers an outstanding work of television reporting in telling the moving story of Addicted" in two parts on TV this Sunday and a week It will be surprising if this penetrating, compassionate examination of drug addiction fails to win awards for Al Wasserman, who produced, directed and wrote It. After viewing both parts in advance, I urge everyone to watch it and sec how television can tell a complex story dramatically and without cant. There are no professional actors in "The Addicted." There are no world-renowned authorities on the subject of drugs intoning big generalities off a telcprompter. Its people, most of them, are addicts themselves, caught in the personal hell of those who have turned their backs on the reality of living in quest of the "bang" to be found in "junk." The first part presents the story of an actual addict, "Fred," a young New Yorker of economically underprivileged background, as told by the people who know him his mother, fellow workers, those who tried to help him at Riverside Hospital here, and members of Addicts Anonymous.

Finally the young man himself tells how he feels as he leaves for six months in prison: "I didn't want to use drugs I need Don't Neglect Slipping MODEL CHURCH to add a cathedral to his home town of Hatch End Middlesex, England, 24-year-old Brian Ferris works on his miniature masterpiece.

A drug addict needs somebody to hold onto. He's not strong enough to do it alone." The second part of "The Addicted" is even more powerfully dramatic than the first as it examines the question of whether an addict is a criminal, as defined by current law or a patient, as defined by many physicians. Wasscrman's cameras have captured some stunning moments in the nighttime ward of the Tombs Prison in New York where men are fighting the agonizing withdrawal symptoms suffered by all who try to "kick the habit." Another gripping sequence is a film of an addict buying a reefer and his arrest by watching police. So more eloquent words on the Gladstone Items Ellis Simmons of Peoria visited her mother, Mrs. Helen Dorothy, of Hamilton, who is ill and is being cared for in the home of her son-in- law and daughter, Mr.
