Method To Be Scene Charge Of Drugs Upheld WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld a 1972 conviction of a olack D.C. medical doctor • Thomas Moore • as a "large-scale pusher" of illegm drugs. The unani mous ruling said that criminal laws concerning drug abuse apply to doctors as well as everybody else. "In practical effect, he (Dr. Moore) acted as a large-scale pusher’ • not as a physician,” said the court in reversing a ruling made here last year by the U.S. Court of AppMls. The appeals court, in a 2-1 decision, had agreed with Moore's contention that the anti-pusher laws do not apply to doctors, because doctors ai-e controlled by a system of registration with the federal government. The Supreme Court disa greed. It held that "only the lawful acts of registrants are exempted" from prosecution. Dr. Moore, 42, was convicted of 22 counts of violating federal drug control laws for writing prescriptions for more than 800.(X)0 controlled drug tablets in a 5‘i month period. He was B rosecuted by the Justice epartment for conducting a large-scale methadone pro gram in 1971 and 1972, and is serving a lMo-45 year prison sentence. Moore has been confined in the federal peniten tiary in Atlanta since nis 1972 conviction, because both the appeals court and Supreme Court refused him bond pending trial resolution of the case.
