Support growing .for legal narcotics WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) - The conversion of former Secretary of State George Shultz has experts predicting others from across the political spectrum will join ranks iwith those who see decriminalization *as a workable solution to the drug. problem. C National drug control policy di- rector William Bennett acknowledges that Shultz may draw others with him, but argues that legalization is a "dopey idea" and a "moral disaster" that will not wash with anyone who has been "within five miles of a Brack house." Nevertheless, legalization propo- .ents are trumpeting an October speech by Shultz that appeared in adapted form in The Wall Street Journal as a major step toward mov- ing the once-radical viewpoint to- ward the mainstream. The political mix of legalization advocates is already broad. On the conservative side are Shultz, economist Milton Friedman and po- itical commentator William F. Buckley. The liberal side includes :Democratic Mayor Kurt Schmoke of Baltimore, Hodding Carter II, jour- rialist and chief State Department spokesperson in the Carter adminis- tration, and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark. "The liberal-conservative defini- tions keep crumbling," Princeton Jniversity's Ethan Nadelmann said an interview. Most say President Bush's anti- drug strategy, developed by Bennett, his more of the same law enforcement programs that have not worked in the past. "It seems to me we're not really going to get anywhere until we can take the criminality out of the drug business and the incentives for crim- Vality out of it," Shultz wrote in 'is Journal piece. "Frankly, the only way I can think of to accomplish this is to make it possible for addicts to buy drugs at some regulated place at a price that approximates their cost.... We need at least to consider and ex- amine forms of controlled legaliza- tion of drugs." Bennett acknowledged that the le- al movement is "going somewhere. t's going around intellectual salons and the academy, libertarians, and it's getting currency with people who want more than anything else to be au courant. But is doesn't hold up, it doesn't make any sense, it's a moral disaster."

An American teacher was among at least 127 peo- ple reported killed. According to hospitals in the area more than 197 people were wounded and there were reports of fighting in four of the country's 14 provinces, including in the northern section of San Salvador. Gunfire, explosions and sirens rang out throughout San Salvador when the guerrillas launched the of- fensive Saturday night, and the sounds of fighting could still be heard yesterday. Cristiani's private home and his official residence both were attacked, military officials said. He was at his private home and was unhurt, they said. Cristiani, speaking over nation- wide radio and television, said he called a meeting of the Council of Ministers to consider declaring a state of siege. "The terrorists must know that there are judicial tools to fight these irrational attacks," Cristiani said. "You must heed the call to not go out in the streets and to stay in your houses or where you are right now. It's just a question of a short time," he told citizens. Carlos Mendoza, spokesperson for the Salvadoran Red Cross, said in a telephone interview that at least 20 civilians had been killed. Government troops and a tank en- tered El Salvador National Univer- sity yesterday and damaged some buildings when they opened fire, a photographer said. A teacher at the American High School in San Salvador was among those killed Saturday night in the at- tacks, said U.S. Embassy spokesper- son Barry Jacobs. Jacobs would give no details and said the victim's name was being withheld pending notifica- tion of family members. The Farabundo Marti Liberation Front has been fighting a succession of U.S.-backed governments in El Salvador for 10 years. In a broadcast over their clandes- tine rebel Radio Venceremos, guer- rillas called the offensive part of a national maneuver called "Remove the fascists, Febe Elizabeth lives." This offensive is named after union leader Febe Elizabeth Ve- lazquez, who died in an Oct. 31 ex- plosion at the National Federation of Salvadoran Workers. "Today we are fighting against misery, against those who stay in power through savagery aimed at churches, universities, opposition political parties, guilds, unions and dissident sectors," the broadcast said.

Detroit adult toy show offers no-stick pots and $250,000 Ferrari DETROIT (AP) - The biggest attraction at Detroit's Adult Toys Expo was not the$260,000 Ferrari Testarossa or a booth filled with furs. It appeared to be a Chester Nairne's Marvelle Gourme Cook- ware. Cookware? At a toy show? "There's an awful lot of people that cook for pleasure," Nairne said after about a dozen people watched his demonstratin of the no-stick playthings. "I can say the same thing about an awful lot of things in here. Now to me, a $250,000 automobile is certianly not a toy," said Nairne, a microphone clipped to his collar to amplify his sales pitch over the din at Detroit's Cobo Hall. Not only cookware, but a new- fangled stepladder, home alarm sys- tems, a sponge-action cloth called the Super Shammy and Lionel Trains all qualified as luxuries, along with Ferrari and Lamborghini cars, hot tubs, saunas, boats and jewelry. And almost everyone noted the in- congruity. UM News in The Daily 764-0552 "There should have been more sport toys, not a guy selling pots and pans. That's not toys," said Paul Wojtylko of Gibraltar. "They could have had more things that you don't see everyday."
