Rio Hacha is the capital of Guajira state, near the Colombia-Venezuela border. The 14 prisoners were jailed there pending transfer to Bogota. The seized marijuana was found in homes and specially built smugglers warehouses and aboard a CD-7 aircraft. U.S. NARCOTICS officials, who have been cooperating with local authorities in cracking down on the Colombian drug trade, estimated the haul at 574 tons. Colombian marijuana is grown in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta moun- tain range. After harvest, it is transpor- ted along secret trails in trucks and on the backs of animals to the Guajira peninsula, where the recent seizure was made. From there it is flown to the United States, mainly to Florida, police say. Ellsberg, nuke protesters arrested at Rocky Flats GOLDEN, Colo.

WRITE: Pre-Law Summer Institute School of Law CfjJHIAor Call 516-S60-3636 UNIVEMSTnY HEMPSTEAD, NEW YORK 11550 to speak here today LANSING (UPI) - The Michigan Welfare Rights Organization says state Social Services Director John Dempsey has deliberately covered up numerous failures in his department and is making welfare recipients the fall-guys for his mistakes. Dempsey is scheduled 'to be on cam- pus today to address a noon luncheon on 'Policy and Administrative Im- plications of Welfare Reform Legislation for the State of Michigan" at the University's Michigan League. THE LECTURE is one of a number of events planned for today's Welfare Reform Symposium to be held in various buildings aroundcampus. In a letter to Gov. William Milliken yesterday, the organization demanded that Dempsey be publicly censured for his actions. "Over the last year, Dempsey or top officials in his department authorized the presentation of inaccurate and misleading information about major welfare programs to the United States Congress, the Michigan Legislature and the news media," said spokesper- son Mary Schacher. "DEMPSEY'S misrepresentations have distorted the actual cost and effec- tiveness of many welfare programs and they have adversely affected Michigan families who are eligible for public benefits and services." Schacher accused Dempsey of trying to cover up problems within the Depar- tment of Social Services. "If welfare recipients have to be held accountable, we feel John Dempsey and his department heads should have to be held accountable," she said. "THE MISLEADING infor- mation . ..is designed, we suggest, to make the public and elected represen- tatives believe the department is fun- ctioning efficiently and well - meeting clients' needs while saving public money - and that the only problems are with client fraud and a few inef- ficient workers." Schacher, a welfare recipient from Mayville, said adequate services "are not being provided in too many in- stances, and the department is 'spen- ding time and money attempting to cover up those failures." The group attacked Dempsey for at- tempting to prevent a new federal regulation that would have allowed a welfare mother to withhold the name of her spouse or boyfriend if she feared he would hurt her or her children. DEMPSEY CIAIMED that 30 per cent of Michigan's new ADC mothers refuse to identify absent fathers and that the figure would double if the new federal regulation is applied. He said the rule could cost $12 million by making it impossible to identify fathers who should be helping to sup- port their children. Schacher, however, said her organization found that onlygone to five per cent of welfare mothers refuse to identify their children's fathers, and those who won't tell are probably protecting themselves from abuse. She also pointed to a letter from Dempsey to state Sen. Jerome Hart which claimed that a new reporting project has steadily reduced the welfare error rate.
