SEMCOG calls
delay for cVty's
sanitation pan s
By SUE STEPHENSON
The Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEM-
COG) yesterday delayed approval of a plan to tie in the city's
sewage disposal system to that of Wayne County pending
further evaluation of the plan.
On the urging of city mayor Robert Harris, SEMCOG
referred to a study committee the regional sewer plan which
calls for the construction of an interceptor line linking Ann
Arbor with the sewage treatment plant at the mouth of the
Huron River.
Harris and other critics have charged the plan would
lead to pollution in Lake Erie and excess costs for the city.

pills; a possible reduction in nat-
ural immunity to VD in women
through the use of contraceptive
pills; and increased mobility
around the country, leading to
heightened difficulties for con-
tact investigators.
Doctors stress that VD can be
cured, but that early treatment
is necessary.
Syphilis is the more dangerous
of the two diseases. During its
earliest, most infectious stage, a
chancre or sore usually appears
at the p.oint of entry of the germ.
If untreated syphilis may result-
perhaps as much as ten years la-
ter - in paralysis, insanity, blind-
ness, heart disease, and death.
A symptom for gonorrhea, which
is caused by a gonococcus, isa
discharge of pus from the genital
organs. Blindness, arthritis, and
sterility can result. Both infec-
tions are curable in the early
stages with the help of penicillin
or other antibiotics.
It has been suggested by the
American Social Health Associa-
tion that money be allocated fron
federal funds for the control of
venereal disease. In 1971 only one-
third of the requested appropria-
tions were granted. Researcher

will be composed of one repre-
sentative each from Ann Ar-
bor, Wayne County, Oakland
County, Washtenaw County,
the Detroit water board, a
firm of bond attorneys, and
SEMCOG. If the recommen-
dation stands after the com-
mittee studies, it will then be
presented to the U.S. Dept. of
Housing and Urban Develop-
ment for approval (HUD).
Meanwhile, the state Water Re-
sources Commission and the Fed-
eral Environmental Protection
Agency will be looking on and de-
ciding their stand on the issue.
Presently, these agencies jointly
cover 75 per cent of the cost of
Ann Arbor's sewage treatment
through grants. If they decide that
the city should not expand its own
plant but rather join in with the
Wayne county system, then the
city must comply with that de-
cision, or their grant will be ter-
minated.
Mayor Harris yesterday said he
would go to court if necessary to
block the tie-in with the Wayne
County plant.
Harris' opposition contrasts
strongly with the opinion of
.SEMCOG director Robert Turner.
Turner said he is aiming towards
providing "sewage treatment on a
collective scale."
Turner Insisted, however, that
"the primary concern is the pro-
tection of the (Huron) river."
Whether the sewage system is
individual or collective, he said, it
should provide "the most exten-
sive treatment possible."
City administrator Guy Larcom
said this week, "the Wayne coun-
ty plan is more expensive and
proposes only secondary treatment
of sewage whereas the expansion
of the Ann Arbor sewage plant
would be less expensive and pro-
vide better treatment."

VIENTIANE - Six months aft-
er the Nixon administration finally
awoke to the dangers of drug ad-
diction in Indochina, the U.S.
finds itself involved in a frustart-
ing and many-faceted effort, both
open and clandestine, to destroy
the Indochina drug economy.
This trade links remote moun-
tain tribesmen and high govern-
ment officials -many of them
U.S. proteges - in at least five
countries to the U.S. soldier seek-
ing escape from a pointless, end-
less war.
Like the military effort, how-
ever, the U.S. anti-drugrstrategy
so far seems to have produced no
lasting results, and is becoming a
much more difficult and com-
promising endeavor than seemed
likely in the beginning.
The official side of the U.S. ef-
fort chiefly involves the activities
of the overseas section of the U.S.
Bureau of Narcotics and Danger-
ous Drugs. A regional director has
his headquarters in Bangkok. Lo-
cal representatives are attached to
U.S. mission here, in Chiangmai in
northern Thailand, in Kuala Lum-
pur and in Saigon.
Ostensibly, the "narcs" do little
except enforce U.S. drug laws
among the official American com-
munity and lobby with local gov-
ernment for more effective anti-
drug law enforcement. In fact, the
U.S. this year has become deeply
enmeshed in the often lethargic
anti-drug activities of South Viet
Nam, Thailand, Cambodia and
Laos.
Here in Laos, the U.S. embassy
was the principal author of the
country's first anti-opium legisla-
tion. The U.S. mission also forced
the retirement of the Commander-
in-Chief of the Royal Lao Armed
Forces, General Ouane Ratikone.
a known trafficker who had been
under Interpol surveillance for
some time.
But in Thailand, another U.S.
ally where American-backed of-
ficials long have been involved in
the opium trade, American agents
have authorization to use "extra-
legal" methods -- including as-
sassination - to eliminate traf-
fickers who refuse to be wooed out
of business by compensating U.S.
construction contracts. N.
"You don't do it all with law,
enforcement," one U.S. official re-
cently commented. He was allud-
ing to the clandestine side of the
Nixon administration's efforts to
wipe out the Southeast Asian drug
trade.

MYLES AMBROSE, named by President Nixon yesterday to head a
new Office of Drug Abuse Law Enforcement, tells newsmen about
his plans to rid the nation of drug pushers. Meanwhile, in South
Vietnam, military officials are also having problems with drug
salesmen - on U.S. bases.
One of the main problems of
117,000 INQUIRIES:
Wage-price controls to stick;
public finds rules confusing
WASHINGTON (P) - The ad-
ministration tried to make it very
clear that pay-price controls will
stay until they work, but the con-
trols themselves apparently aren't
clear to the public.
The Internal Revenue Service
has received more than one mil-
lion inquiries about the rules, more
than half of them on rents. And
the questions keep on coming.
Latest figures show 117,000 in-
quiries were received by the In-
ternal Revenue Service for the
week ending Jan. 18.
The government's rules govern-
ing pay and prices are becoming
increasingly complex. A recent
booklet, published at 35 cents a
copy and available through the
U.S. Superintendent of Documents
in Washingotn, takes more than
10 pages of fine print to list all
the rules in place as of Jan. 1.
More rulings have been issued
since then, and major additions
and revisions are in the works.
It is far too early to tell if these
rules will achieve the administra-
tion's goal of reducing last year's
3.4 per cent inflation rate to be-
tween two and three per cent by
the end of this year.
But the " major outline of the
administration's anti-inflation ma-
chinery, as it evolved' over the
past 21/2 months, is now clear:
" President Nixon's Cost of Liv-
ing Council, headed by Treasury
Secretary John Connally, retains
ultimate authority over the econ-
omy. Under it, the seven-member
Price Commission regulates prices;
the 15-member Pay Board a, dis-
* Complicated Price Commis-
sion rules are aimed at bringing
the average increase in all prices
to no more than 2.5 per cent this
year.
" The Pay Board's general
standard, which the board itself
has frequently ignored for big,
powerful unions, is that wages in
new contracts can't go up more
than 5.5 per cent a year, or seven
per cent in some narrowly defined
special circumstances.
The government's Consumer
Price Index rose 0.4 per cent last
month, a yearly rate of around
five per cent after compounding.
And, the Wholesale Price Index
went up twice that. But the ad-
the U.S. anti-drug effort is that
it involves, in many instances, re-
versing long-standing U.S. policies
by using the drug traffic to ce-
ment local anti-communist alli-
ances.
The CIA, for example, helped to
consolidate General Vang Pao's
lordship of the Meo in the 1960's
by using U.S. and chartered air-
craft to transport the Meo opium
harvest to market. It also indirect-
ly supported the opium enterprises
of General Ratikone because his
trade of U.S. donated arms for
opium with the insurgent tribal
groups or Northeast Burma helped
keep open the espionage roots to
China.
In southeastern Laos, Prince
Soun Oum Long has run a "Catch
22" type operation - trading rice
and U.S. arms with the commun-
ists while providing men for U.S.
operations against the Ho Chi
Minh Trail.
"We wanted the territory to use
against North Vietnam," he said.
"and the Meo wanted the hills to
grow opium. Neither of us had
tny illusions."
