That’s up from 41 female en tries in 1970, but the more dedi cated say this is still a poor showing for a group that repre sents a majority of the electorate. Most of the women candidates were fielded by minority parties with little chance of winning, or they were running against pow erful, entrenched incumbents. However, Tuesday’s election is expected to bring a few femi nine newcomers to the House of Representatives and to make some historic advances. Two prominent black women lawyer-legislators, both Demo crats, are seen as sure winners. They are Texas State Sen. Bar bara Jordan, 36, of Houston, and California Assemblyman Yvonne Brathwaite Burke, 39, of Los An geles, who was vice chairman of the Democratic National Conven tion in Miami Beach. Both are running in new and heavily Dem ocratic districts. And victory also is predicted for another Democratic newcom er, Elizabeth Holtzman, a 31-year- old Brooklyn lawyer, who toppled 84-year-old dean of the House Emanuel Celler in their New York primary. There are no upsets envisioned among 11 current women members of Congress, who are up for re- election. The present Congress has two women in the Senate, one from each party, and 12 in the House, 10 Democrats and two Republi cans. Penny Pincher by <S&everlep O&ra/ep TOWNSHIRE Overt Scare Tactics Fail In Drug Abuse Programs WASHINGTON <2P)—An exten sive study of federal drug abuse prevention programs concludes that “overt preaching and scare tactics” have not worked, and suggests official acceptance of limited drug use. The government is “more like ly to yield long-range positive results,” the report says, by drop ping its “failure-ridden quest for a youthful society free from drug use—a proposed idyllic is land awash in a sea of alcohol, nicotine and legally prescribed drug taking.” let's Re-elect STATE TREASURER HIS PROVEN RECORD MERITS YOUR VOTE AND SUPPORT LOOK AT THESE FACTS! Jesse James has handled over 44 Billion Dollars of the peoples’ money with every dollar properly accounted for—as proven by annual reports of the State Auditor. Jesse James made for the people of Texas over $16,000,000.00 last year in interest earned on State Funds deposited in over 1,100 Texas Banks—more than any billion dollar bank in Texas made net in 1970 or 1971. JESSE JAMES STATE TREASURER Jesse James has financed a giant deficit in the General Revenue Fund — which on April 26, 1972, reached a deficit peak of $314,448,523.00 — without interest or discount cost to State Employees and people who furnish goods and services to Texas, such savings estimated to be over $50,000,000.00. If this $314,448,523.00 had been discounted by 3%, it would have cost the taxpayers over $9,420,000.00 for that period. Jesse James has proven he knows how to handle your State Finances efficiently. LET'S VOTE FOR AND RE-ELECT JESSE JAMES STATE TREASURER JESSE JAMES IS PROVEN Pol. Adv. Paid for by Jesse James, State Treasurer LET'S KEEP JESSE JAMES OUR STATE TREASURER The three-volume study, com piled over a year by Macro Sys tems Inc. under a $300,000 federal grant, has been kept under wraps since June. A spokesman for the Depart ment of Health, Education and Welfare said the study is “be ing critiqued.” within the depart ment, and no approval or rejec tion of the findings is expected before mid-November. Of the $380 million spent last year on federal drug programs by 15 agencies, the report said, HEW spent $155 million, includ ing more than $26 million for drug education. But the “crisis atmosphere” surrounding prevention programs, it said, resulted in “diffused ob jectives and goals, overlapping and duplication of effort, lack of consistent and long-range plan ning, and difficulty in assessing program effectiveness. “In place of prevention as a reachable goal, drug use on the part of youth could be accept ed — especially marijuana use,” the report said. But it warns that a “radical change of policy” in a presiden tial election year “is sure to bring about powerful opposition unwilling to enrage what it per ceives as its constituency,” espe cially what it called a “significant lation’ use. drug prevention officials includ- clergy. #0 U jeans ’n tbioqs will be open until midnight Thurs.

Margaret Chase Smith, R-Maine, veteran of 24 years, to retain her seat despite a serious contest with Democratic Rep. William D. Hathaway and the issue of her age—74. Only one other woman is try ing for the Senate as a major- party candidate. But little hope is seen for West Virginia State Sen. Louise Leonard, 53, a for mer State Department employe, who took on powerful 14-year Sen. Jennings Randolph, D-W. Va.

Nixon, McGovern Views Differ On Oil Tax HOUSTON <2P)—President Nix on and Senator George McGovern differ sharply on oil and gas policy. There is indication, however, the petroleum industry will con tinue to face a tough situation at the Washington level regard less of the outcome of Tuesday’s presidential election. For example, only a rather drastic change in the make-up of the new Congress could side-track a new attack already developing against oil's controversial deple tion allowance. Nixon favors the allowance. McGovern terms it a tax loophole that should be plugged. Two of the most powerful mem bers of Congress, Rep. Wilbur Mills, D-Ark., chairman of the House Ways and Means Commit tee, and Sen. Mike Mansfield, D- Mont., Senate majority leader, already have proposed a Tax Pol icy Reform Act that would repeal over the 1974-76 period virtuil] lent, said tl all tax preferences, including® een officially depletion, so as to compel a sji r, the name tematic review aimed at elimim he pedigree, ing all tax loopholes. Nixon Camp Consents To Reveal Previously Unreported Contributions WASHINGTON (A>)_President Nixon’s campaign money raisers consented Wednesday to reveal the source of a large chunk of previously unreported contribu tions rather than face a pre-elec tion trial. A consent decree signed by U.S. District Court Judge Joseph C. Waddy means the Finance Committee to Re-elect the Presi dent must identify contributors for most of the period before the new Federal Elections Campaign Act went into effect last spring. The disclosures are to begin Thursday night. The committee and its affiliates raising money for the Nixon cam paign also were ordered to hand over to the court records of its collections and expenditures pend ing final resolution of the case, which is expected to continue af ter the election. The surprise agreement, in a suit brought by Common Cause, probably cuts off the last chance for a public hearing on Nixon’s campaign financing practices be fore next Tuesday’s presidential election. Dying Continues In Indiochina War SAIGON <2P) — As the pace of the Indochina war quickened in anticipation of a cease-fire, 22 Americans were killed in the crash of a U.S. helicopter into a flooded Mekong Delta rice pad dy, field reports said Wednesday. The U.S. Command reported Thursday that 12 bodies had been recovered from the wreckage more than 24 hours after the twin-rotor CH47 Chinook went down Tuesday about 35 miles southwest of Saigon.
