News Roundup from UPI reports NEW YORK — Nearly half of the high school students in the nation’s largest public school system are on drugs and in the junior high grades the percentage is 20 per cent, a state commission on education reported Thursday. “This heart breaking phenomenon ... is spreading with what appears to be the force of an epidemic in suburban and rural areas as well,” the commission said in a 496-page report. The problem should be treated as an infectious disease with drug education “preferably beginning in the earliest primary grades,” perhaps as soon as kindergarten, the report added. The report was prepared by the 18-member Fleischmann Commission, named after its chairman, attorney Manly Fleischmann. It was created by Gov. Nelson Rockefeller to review the quality and cost of state education. MIAMI — A criminal court judge signed extradition orders Thursday for three of President Nixon’s top money - men — Maurice Stans, Kenneth H. Danlberg and Hugh W. Sloan — to testify as material witnesses in the trial of a member of the “Watergate five.” Judge Paul Baker’s ex tradition order said the three are needed here as material witnesses in the Oct. 28 trial of Bernard L. Barker, 55, a Cuban-born Miamian accused of misusing his notary public seal on a $25,000 check. Barker and four other men were arrested last June in connection with the break in at the Democratic National Headquarters in the Watergate apartment complex in Washington, D.C. Judge Baker’s order noted that the appearance of the three Republicans, all past or present officers in the committee to Re-elect the President, could “not be secured voluntarily.” WASHINGTON — Segregation of juvenile inmates and promises of other reforms were credited Thursday with ending a 22-hour prisoner rebellion at the District of Columbia jail during which a dozen hostages were held at gunpoint. One of the hostages was Kenneth Hardy, director of corrections for the district, who suffered a mild heart attack during an unusual hearing on inmate grievances in U.S. District Court and was transferred to a hospital for treat ment. Following orders from District Judge William Bryant, who held the hearing Wednesday for leaders of the uprising who were bused to his courtroom from the jail, all 30 juveniles among the 1,000 prisoners were segregated in one cellblock Thursday morning. The younger inmates were housed in separate tiers from older prisoners, but corrections officials were unable to say how they would be segregated during meals and recreational periods. World News McGovern stumps in North; Nixon on Southern foray UPI — George McGovern promised Thursday to put a Vietnam dove in charge ot the Pentagon if elected and President Nixon campaigned briefly in Atlanta, his first per sonal stumping in two weeks and possibly his only pre-election foray into the South. McGovern took off on a coast-to coast swing, beginning in Boston with stops planned at the University of Minnesota and Fargo, N.D., before ending a 16 hour day in Seattle. In Boston, the Democratic nominee told a television in terviewer that his choice for secretary of defense would be one of the men who sought to per suade President Lyndon Johnson to wind down the U.S. effort in Vietnam. He named four possibilities: former Defense Secretary Clark Clifford, former assistant defense secretaries Paul Wamke and Cyrus Vance, and retired Army Gen. James Gavin, the Korean war commander who has been a leading critic of American policy in Vietnam. McGovern also claimed in the interview that a Nixon victory in November would bring “the most massive aerial bombardment we have seen in the history of the war.” Nixon, spending about three and one-half hours in Atlanta, got a big welcome- with hundreds of thousands turning out to watch his motorcade pass down the city’s famous Peachtree Street. At one point, the President got out of his open limousine to go into the crowd and shake hands. Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler Liberal opponents succeed Senate shelves busing bill By JANE DENISON WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Senate Thursday shelved until next year a tough antibusing hill that was denied almost certain passage when Northern liberal opponents succeeded for the third straight day in preventing it from coming to a vote. The House passed legislation, containing stronger curbs against pupil busing than President Nixon had requested, was killed for the year after its supporters failed fur the third and finul time to invoke cloture and stop a filibuster against it. The vote Thursday was 49 to 38, or nine votes short of the two thirds majority required to halt debate The bill’s Southern-led backers fell short in previous attempts Tuesday and Wed nesday by identical 10-vote margins Then the Senate, by a 5® 26 vote, approved Democratic leader Mike Mansfield’s motion to set the bill aside and turn to other business in the drive to adjourn by this weekend Thirteen Kepublicans and six Democrats who had supported cloture a few moments earlier gave up the battle and voted with Mansfield Nixon said last week that if Congress failed to approve an tibusing legislation, he would give the issue the “highest priority’’ next year if he is re elected. and would support a constitutional amendment if he cannot obtain a legislative ban on busing. "It’s over as far as I’m con cerned." said Sen. James Allen, 1) Ala., a leader of the antibusing bloc, after the votes "I’m through for this session ... I told everybody I was going to put all my eggs in one basket. We'll just have to fight another day." Allen said he was "disap pointed but not surprised” at the outcome. So was Senate GOP Whip Robert Griffin of Michigan, where busing is the overriding issue in his re-election campaign. "The maximum practical effort has been made,” Griffin said. Roth sides had agreed that the bill would have passed had it been permitted to come to a vote. As approved by the House in August, it would have forbidden busing to desegregate schools except as a last resort and then no farther than the school second closest to a pupil's home. The measure also would have permitted local school districts under court desegregation orders to se?k to have their cases re opened and decided again ac cording to the bill’s provisions. Allen, Griffin and other an tibusing senators predicted that the public's response to Senate inaction would be nationwide pressure for congressional ap proval of a constitutional amendment to ban busing. A CAR SHOULD EAT UP THE ROAD. NOT VICE VERSA. Sec us (or a salt -resistant, rust-repellant Volvo. SHEPPARD MOTORS SWRIISN CAIS INI «. 711 34J-H84 said police Capt. M.A. Hornsby estimated the crowd at 700,000, and said Battalion Fire Chief M.A. Cooper set the figure at 500,000. Both estimates appeared to newsmen to be on the liberal side, but in any event it was the warmest welcome the President has received in his re-election campaign. Nixon halted his motorcade along Peachtree Street, got out of the car and waded into the crowd pumping hands. “Hey Richard, give ’em hell,” one middle age man shouted. “Keep bumping ’em, we’re on God’s side.” When he arrived in Atlanta, Nixon issued a statement reiterating his pledge not to hike taxes if the Senate would approve a House-passed bill that would limit federal spending to $250 billion and authorize the President to cut congressional appropriations to stay under that ceiling. ‘‘It should be emphasized that my tax-proof ceiling on spending would not be a pinch-penny ap proach to government,” Nixon said. Just before leaving Washington, the president met with Senate GOP leaders to chart strategy for action on the legislation. Several highly in fluential Senate Democrats have said they are strongly opposed to the bill. As the presidential contenders campaigned, their running mates also were active.
