WASHINGTON (N)-South Vietnam's president, former
vice president and prime minister run organizations that f'-
split control of their nation's opium and heroin trade, a
narcotics researcher charged in Senate testimony yester-
day.
The witness, Alfred McCoy, said that South Vietnam
narcotics ring has links with Corsican gansters, with an
organized crime family in Florida, and with scores of high-
ranking military officers in South Vietnam, Laos, Camboda
and Thailand.
McCoy, a Ph.D. candidate in Southeast Asian history at
Yale University, testified before the Senate Appropriations
Committee's subcommittee on foreign operations. He said

Many profess that "the only
measure of the power of our na-
tion is the missile stock pile,"
he said to the attentive crowd.
"This must be rejected."
His strongest words were
saved as usual, for the Indo-
china war. "We have been told
that we must seek an honor-
able peace," he said. "The
peace will only be honorable
when we have the courage to

then take the action to end it.
McGovern has made a con-
certed effort to garner the vote
of the minority groups in Cali-
fornia. If these voters, once
considered the private constitu-
ency of Humphrey, choose Mc-
Govern as polls indicated they
will, the South Dakota senator
will have a smashing victory.
Yesterday, McGovern went to
a rally in the Spanish speaking
district of San Francisco. He
told the large gathering that
they were a "vital part of a new
coalition" that will elect the next
President.
The crowd cheered loudly when
McGovern promised to "Turn
the country away from killing,
destruction and war to peace."
This weekend and early next
week McGovern is planning to
spend the last half of the $400,000
he alloted to the California cam-
paign. Humphrey on the other
hand is short of money and will
have only limited media expo-
sure.
Humphrey is counting on a
strong come from behind surge
in the two days following the
third of three televised debates
between the Minnesota senator
and McGovern tomorrow.
With large crowds, good poll
results and a. ready stipply of
campaign funds McGovern
seems to be on the road to a
California victory for the Demo-
cratic nomination.

By CHRIS PARKS
Last Friday night a thief forced the
door on Sally Brown's apartment. When
he left he took her television with him.
The chances are good that he won't
get caught,
Sally (not her real name) is only one
of 39 people who got ripped off over the
Memorial Day weekend. And Tuesday
night 10 more breaking and enterings
were reported.
Every year more than a million dol-
lars of property is stolen in the city. The
number of burglaries is increasing-up
more than 400 cases from last year, ac-
cording to police figures.
Even more frightening is the trend
toward rip-offs in private dwellings-
especially student apartments.
According to Chief of Police Walter
Krasny, "Businesses used to be the pri-
mary target. Now, however, the pattern

has changed. For every business which
is robbed, five or 10 homes are hit."
These homes for the most part are
apartments or rooming houses-typical
student residences.
Surprisingly, modern apartments may
be even more vulnerable than older
structures. According to Krasny, the
cement patio with sliding windows so
common to many newer dwellings pro-
vides an easy entrance for the prospec-
tive burglar.
Preventing robberies and arresting
burglars is a monumental task-only 20
to 40 per cent of all robberies ever end
in arrest, Krasny reports.
The life style of students-coming and
going at all hours of the night, leaving
doors unlocked, the transient nature of
the population-contributes to making
Ann Arbor a good city for burglars to
live and work in.
