Detroit busing
Court-ordered integration of Detroit's schools, begun
peacefully with the busing of elementary school children,
broadened yesterday as classes resumed in the city's sec-
ondary schools.
School officials said the first day of court-ordered bus-
ing in Detroit was a success Monday, even though nearly
one-third of the pupils stayed home.
Detroit is the largest city in the country to undergo
court ordered desegregation, with about 10 per cent of the
247,000 pupils to be bused under the plan. The school system
is 75 per cent black.
Many buses were only half-full as they arrived at ele-
mentary schools Monday. More than 40,000 elementary
pupils were absent.
Supporters of the city's largest antibusing groups kept
their children home Monday in an indefinite 'yellow flu'
boycott. There were no incidents at the schools and only
three small demonstrations against the integration pro-
grams.
School Superintendent Arthur Jefferson estimated ab-
senteeism was 32.4 per cent of the city's 127,000 elementary

Postal Service woes
More money from taxpayers in the form of bigger Con-
gressional subsidies isthe only alternative to additional in-
creases in postal rates, Postmaster General Benjamin Bail-
ar said today.
"Unless increased public funding enables us in the near
term to slacken the pace of rate increases we may be
caught in a vicious cycle of rate increases to compensate
for volume decreases brought on in turn by rate increases,"
Bailar said.
"The types of problems we have faced are not going to
disappear. Inflation, rising costs and decreasing volume
are likely to be with us for the foreseeable future," Bailar
told the Senate Post Office Committee.
Bailar said he opposed allowing private companies to
compete against the Postal Service on delivering first class
mail, a suggestion made recently by the President's Coun-
cil on Wage and Price Stability.
He said private companies could charge lower prices
than -the Postal Service in delivering to high population
density areas, leaving the Postal Service with more costly
delivery areas. He said the Postal Service would have to
adopt variable mail rates to compete against private com-
petition.
Marijuana vs. alcohol
Marijuana did not have the socially disruptive effects
that alcohol use did in a group of adolescent delinquent
boys, Stanford University researchers reported yesterday.
Despite the fact that the two drugs were used with
about the same frequency, alcohol use was greater in
fights, difficulties with police and other authorities, trouble
with family or friends and automobile accidents.
Marjuana was used by the youths for tranquilizing pur-
poses to avoid difficulties and described by the youths as
reducing "assaultiveness," while alcohol was used de-
liberately to "bolster courage."
"Thus, on a variety of measures designed to identify
drug effects on assaultive behavior, the findings of this
study were consistent - cannabis marijuana usually re-
duced assaultiveness, and alcohol often enhanced assaul-
tiveness," the researchers said.
CIA investigations
Former CIA Director Richard Helms said yesterday
that any new congressional com~mittee set up to monitor
intelligence agencies should be briefed on covert opera-
tions before they are undertaken.
Helms, currently under investigation by the Justice
Department for his role in past Central Intelligence Agency
misdeeds, also told the Senate Government Operations
Committee he never felt himself to be above the law.
But he said that "some of the cases where I got in
difficulty" involved conflicting laws. He cited a provision
in the 1947 National Security Act charging the director to
protect intelligence sources and methods.
One of the accusations being investigated by the Jus-
tice Department involves, Helms' alleged approval of a
1971 break-in at the offices of a former CIA employe sus-
pected of a security violation.
"If there's going to be an oversight committee, I think
it ought to be in on the take-off," Helms told the commit-
tee, which is considering legislation that would create a
new +panel to monitor the intelligence community.

Let's be honest with each other: A
master's degree in math has not
been opening as many career doors
as it once did. That's why, if you
are receiving your MS between now
and September, you cannot
overlook the unique and
challenging math applications that
can still be found at the National
Security Agency today.
Specific assignments for
mathematicians at NSA fall into
three broad areas: consulting with
analysts on current communica-
tions problems; providing technical
assistance to the communications
systems specialists; and
conducting long-range
mathematical research in
communications arid computing.
Work with analytic personnel_
involves the statistical analysis of
data for causal significance.
Probability theory, statistical
design of experiments, and Fourier
analysis are employed frequently.
Communications systems of the
United States Government require
research and application of
statistics, modern algebra, and
information theory. Among the
more important mathematical tools
being used are: group theory,
Galois theory, matrix theory and
stochastic processes.
A research mathematician may
investigate the use of existing
computer systems or the design
of new systems to assist in the
solution of long-range communica-
tions problems.

As a junior mathematician, you will
progress through a three year
sequence of job assignments and
courses which are carefully
tailored to enhance your strength
in algebraic modeling, statistical
modeling, and analysis. Upon
successful completion of the
program;you should have a
comprehensive know.ledge of
NSA's technical problems and the
mathematically oriented
approaches to their solution.
Salaries begin at the GS-9 level
and are supplemented by the usual
government benefits. NSA offices
are located in the suburban
corridor between Washington, D.C.
and Baltimore, Maryland. U.S.
citizenship required.
Intrigued? Good! In fact, we hope
that you are sufficiently intrigued
to desire more information about
NSA career prospects. Make an
appointment through your campus
placement office to see our
representativewhen he visits your
school in the near future. If you
miss our recruiter, send a resume
to Chief, College Relations Branch,
National Security Agency, Fort
George G. Meade, Maryland 20755.
