Bugs to get more use
!;
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The nation's
top federal drug enforcer says
court-approved wiretaps probably will
be used more often in drug in-
vestigations now that the FBI is
working closely with the Drug En-
forcement Administration.
Acting Drug Enforcement Ad-
ministrator Francis Mullen said that in'
the past the agency wanted to use court-
approved electronic bugs in its in-
vestigations but often could not because
it was "just a manpower killer."
NOW, WITH the FBI given authority
to investigate drug cases, Mullen said,
there could be an increase in the use of
wiretaps against drug traffickers.
"I believe it wil.occur," Mullen told
United Press International in an ex-
clusive interview.
This week, Attorney General William
French Smith authorized a greater role
for the FBI in fighting drug trafficking.
The move was in line with the ad-
ministration's goal of cracking down on
narcotics.
"THOSE WHO are profiting, we are.
going to make it prohibitively expensive
for them, personally and financially,"
Mullen said.
Smith said a reorganization involving
the Drug Enforcement Administration
will allow the FBI to supplement the
drug agency's resources.
In the past, the FBI has had the chief
responsibility for enforcing other
federal criminal laws, but did not have
jurisdiction over drug violations.
President Reagan nominated Mullen
last week to become the permanent
administrator of the drug agency. A
ranking career FBI official, he has
been its acting head for the past six
months.
Mullen said that since July, the FBI
and the drug agency have been conduc-
ting 125 joint investigations, many
using wiretaps.
Although there was not a significant
increase in the number of electronic
bugs, he said, "they have played
significant role in our current in-
vestigations."

HIGHLIGHT'
ACLU cites setbacks
From AP and UPI
WASHINGTON - The American
Civil Liberties Union says President
Reagan's administrators and
collaborating conservatives in
Congress created a "state of siege" on
the Constitution's Bill of Rights in 1981.
Last year "was a bad year for civil
liberties," the ACLU said in a harshly
worded newsletter appraising-the first
12 months under the new Republican
administration and the increased con-
servatism in Congress. It added, "1982
could be worse."
IN CONTRAST to conservative
leaders whose "report card" on
Reagan last week bemoaned "lost op-
portunities" to turn the country to the
right, the ACLU catalogued rightward
gains it believes threaten civil liberties.
One conservative leader believed
Reagan deserved a "C" or "C- minus"
for his first year's efforts. If the ACLU
found anything deserving a favorable
grade, it did not mention it.
But the ACLU gave Congress as
much, or more, attention than it gave
the administration in appraising what it
called a "relentless" attack on the Bill
of Rights throughout the first Reagan
year.
"IN THE CONGRESS, leaders of the
radical right needed no encouragement
from their friends in the Reagan ad-
ministration to launch their own far-
reaching assault on liberty," the report
said.
"Subcommittees in the Senate
Judiciary Committee became
cauldrons of repressive legislation," it
said.
Much of the ACLU's concern stem-
med from the administration's interest
in national security. The White House
has told the CIA it can spy on
Americans, open mail and infiltrate
radical groups in this country, the
ACLU said.
"The conservative-dominated
Congress, on the whole, is willing to en-
dorse -the new emphasis on internal
security and, in some cases, even goes
beyond administration initiatives," the
ACLU said.
THE ACLU referred to bills that
would limit CIA involvement in the
Freedom of Information Act, punish
those who identify secret agents or
publish classified information and
other legislation.
But a broader movement in Congress
centers on the conservative "social"
causes of abortion, school prayer, and
busing, the ACLU said. The ACLU's
chief concern was a series of moves to
limit federal court authority in these
issues.
The ACLU charges were denounced
as unfair by Phil Kent, an aide to
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman
Strom Thurmond, (R-S.C.).
Tom DeCair, chief spokesman for the
Justice Department, said he had not
seen the newsletter and withheld com-
ment. The White House press office
also declined comment.
John Shattuck, legislative director of
the Washington ACLU office, said in the
newsletter "in Washington, a mean-
spirited Congress is dominated by a
presidential administration, whose
hostility to individual rights is relen-
tless."

UAW will return
to bargaining table
WASHINGTON (UPI- United Auto
Workers representatives agreed
yesterday toreturn to the bargaining
table an4 give General Motors and
Ford Motor Co. a "final chance" to win
contract concessions needed to make
the hard-hit U.S. auto industry more
competitive.
Union leaders said the Ford Council
voted by an overwhelming margin to
authorize the resumption of the stalled
negotiations, which the union broke off
Wednesday, but the vote by the GM
Council was suprisingly narrow.
THE UNION said it will return to
talks with GM Tuesday and with Ford
Friday on changes in the current three-
year contract designed to ease the
financial troubles of the automakers
and save union jobs.
The union set a midnight Thursday
deadline for agreement with GM and
said the GM Council, composed of 330
local labor leaders and contract
bargainers, will meet again next Satur-
day in Detroit to consider a tentative
settlement if one is reached. Talks with
Ford will be open-ended.
"This is their final chance," Fraser
told a news conference. "If we can't
make it this time; we might as well give
up.
In a break from three decades of
three-year agreements, Fraser said the
union will ask for a one-year contract
beginning when the current pact ex-
pires in September and running to Sep-
tember 1983.
The union president said he had not
wanted to cut off negotiations with the
automaker last Wednesday but acted
because the two sides . were too far
apart on economic issues such as cuts
in pension, medical and other benefits
as well as on questions of job security.
Fraser said, howevet, the company
has "backed off substantially" from its
original demands for a $5-an-hour wage
cut in return for $1,000 cuts in the prices
of some new models.
The Center for Continuing Education of Women is sponsoring an informal

Rape laws provoke
public outcry in Britain
LONDON (AP) - Violent crimes
such as rape are statistically rare in
Britain, where most bobbies still patrol
the streets unarmed. For every rape
investigated in this country, three are
reported in New York City.
Yet for the past three weeks, the news
media, the courts, and Parliament have
riveted the public's attention on what
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
called the "violent, detestable and
odious crime" of rape.
The government's solicitor-general
for . Scotland, Nicholas Fairbairn,
resigned Thursday at Thatcher's
request. He told reporters why charges
were dropped against three Glasgow
teenagers arrested in a rape case
before he explained the matter to
Parliament.
THE VICTIM of the rape, a 30-year-
old woman, was slashed with a razor
and required 168 stitches.
The case is at the center of the uproar
because police reportedly had a con-
fession, an eyewitness, and technical
evidence, but the prosecution dropped
the charges because the victim was
thought to be suicidal and unfit to
testify.
RECENTLY, lenient judges have
L...-« ..L ..:..: ..i.... l.. « I.-.....
in North London the number of calls
from women reporting sexual assaults
has doubled. Only a fourth of the
callers say they will tell police.
THE PUBLIC outcry began with a
rape trial at Ipswich Crown Court on
Jan. 4 when Judge Bertrand Richards
freed a confessed rapist after fining
him $3,800. Richards ruled the 17-year-
old victim showed "contributory
negligence" by hitchhiking.
"It was a bit of luck for me," said
John William Allen, 33.
Within days Lord Lane, the Lord
Chief Justice, issued guidelines to
judges saying convicted rapists should
be jailed "other than in wholly extraor-
dinary circumstances," which he did
not define.
