t Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, January 29, 1972 Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, January 29, 1972 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.

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.

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." -Associated Press Wallace and the law A Jacksonville, Fla., city patrolman greets presidential hopeful George Wallace yesterday as the Alabama governor enters his campaign headquarters there. By T. D. ALLMAN Dispatch News Service 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. 4' -Associatet Press 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."
