Friday, September 26, 1975 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wage Three Friday, September 26, 1975 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three Official calls drug la i' i House panel demands secret CIA documents (Continued from Page 1) the city with "the easing of the penalty on marijuana (use) in Ann Arbor (which) followed the election, in 1972, of the first student representatives in the City Council. A year earlier, 18-year-olds and University stu- dent residents won the right to vote in a special referendum which followed several years of campus demonstrations." Vernier blamed lack of com- munity support for police, 'lack of police funding, soft drug laws, and a slow, lax judicial system for the city's drug prob- lems. "There'5 no question that the city of Ann Arbor has a dedi- cated police force (but) they lack the tools," he declared. "Chief Krasny needs the sup- port of the community and when he gets that-he already has the expertise. . . "WHEN there is a swift, sure go-to-jail policy there is deter- rent value (to drug-related crimes)," he added. Krasny assailed the city's five- dollar-fine marijuana law, which he called "obivously contrary to state law and federal law, but it's the mandate of the peo- ple . . . I live and die by it. "There was the attitude of some people that they could blow pot in a police officer's face," Krasny went on. "A lot of people are under the assumrn- tion that anything goes in Ann Arbor. It's sort of a challenge to some people." KRASNY claimed that liberal marijuana laws and a large drug market in the student ponla- tion draw dealers to Ann Arbor. "We in the field knew there was a good possibility in Ann Arbor (of drug abuse rising to current levels)," he said. "What we're concerned a b o u t, of course, is the hard drugs. What really bothered us is a dealer can come in and set up busi- ness." Krasny said the University students "are very easy victims of drug trafficking because may- be society said this was the proper thing to do. Unfortun- ately it got into hard drug traf- ficking." WHEELER and City Council- woman C a r ol Jones (D-2nd Ward) bitterly attacked Ver- nier's and Krasny's statements. "There is a great controversy whether the use of marijuana. leads to the use of hard drugs," Wheeler declared.. "That's just part of the propaganda of peg. ple who didn't want the mari- juana law passed here. "I'm very appreciative and grateful about it (the raid)," he added. "I want that clearly un- derstood. I'm opposed to hard drugs." BUT Wheeler voiced strong objections to suggestions that city police need further funds. "What the hell does this offi- cial know about the budget?" he asked. "The police depart- ment gets the largest chunk -. - in the budget. It's none of his damn business.- Asked whether he thought City Council would consider further police allocations, Wheeler said, "Hell, no. At least not on that basis (of indignation caused by the raid.) I don't intend to be caught in some emotional, poli- tical thing for or against thruf budget." CITY Councilman Robert Hen- ry (R-Third Ward) supported Vernier and Krasny. "I absolutely agree with what was said in that press confer- ence," he said. "It (large-scale hard drug abuse) was predicted two years ago when the bloody thing (the marijuana fine law) was passed. They (the police) took 36 people off the streets who should have been taken off the streets and put $4,000,000 worth of poison out of circula- tion that should have been put out of circulation."I Councilwoman Jones said theI city police "are trying to find an excuse for their own incom- petence and unwillingness to en- force state and local laws" by criticizing the liberal law and calling for more funds. SHE SAID Krasny "by per- mitting his name to be put on this document (the press re- lease) is attacking the right of the citizens to establish the pol- icies of their own police depart- ment." University president Robben Fleming said yesterday, "I am assured by our security and stu- dent services personnel that there has never been and is not now a significant hard drug problemamong students at the University."~ Police officials yesterday re- leased the names of three per- sons connected with the Univer- sity who were arrested. ONE student, Beverly Dear- ing, 23, of 2025 Huron Parkway, was arrested in Ypsilanti when she refused to allow police into a home where drug suspects were sought. Two University employes, Dale Katapol, 26, a custodian, and James McNeill, 28, an em- ploye at the television center, were arrested in unknown cir- cumstances. Also arrested was James Moscara, 25, a deputy dog- catcher for the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Department. 7 - empe" WASHINGTON (P-House In- telligence Committee Chairman Otis Pike said yesterday he would seek a full House "vote of confidence" to press the panel's demands for access to secret documents. Pike made his proposal after the State Department refused to turn over classified documents relating to Turkey's invasibn of Cyprus and disclosed that a gag order had been imposed on mid- dle-level State employes. "IT IS my feeling that the executive branch is today in contempt of Congress," The New York Democrat told his commit- tee. Pike postponed committee ac- tion on his request after ranking Republican Rep. Robert McClory of Illinois said President Ford might offer a compromise today. Pike said that if the full House voted confidence in the com- mittee's demands for secret information and the Ford ad- ministration still refused to turn it over, he would ask for con- tempt citations. ASKED IF he might try to cite President Ford for con- tempt, Pike replied, "We've got lots of candidates." The most likely targst was C e n t r a l Intelligence Director William Colby who, ander Ford's direction, has defied a commit- tee subpoena for documents on the 1968 Vietnam Tet offensive. Ford cut off all secret infor- mation to the committee nearly two weeks ago because of its public disclosure of four words showing U.S. intelligence eaves- dropped on Egyptian communi- cations before the 1973 Mideast war. BUT PIKE accused the admin- istration of seizing o-i the dis- closure to halt the committee's hearings on major intelligence failures. Committee hearings have dis- closed U.S. intelligence failed to predict the 1973 Mideast war, and have produced an allegation that the Vietnam Tet offensive caught U.S. forces by surprise because of deliberately fals fied enemy strength figures. Adding more fuel to the con- frontation was the gag order by Secretary of State Henry Kis- singer. It prohibits State officials from disclosing options consid- ered in major policy decisions. UNDERSECRETARY of State Lawrence Eagleburger said that order would stand regardless of how Ford's cutoff of secrets to the committee is resolved. Kissinger's order was harshly denounced by two committee members. Food-Booths Free Music Ca COMMUNTYFAI SIMCHAT TORAH Hakafot-singing and dancing with the Torah and the Jewish people.
