WASHINGTON (A*) _ Women
are making their strongest as
sault ever on Capitol Hill this
fall, with a half-dozen women
seeking a place in the Senate
and 62 running for seats in the
House.
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.

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.”

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.

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.

Three of them are dropping out.
Rep. Florence P. Dwyer, R-N.J.,
decided to retire at age 70 after
serving 16 years. Rep. Eilzabeth
Andrews, D-Ala., won the seat
of her husband, George, after he
died last Christmas is stepping
down, as is Sen. Elaine S. Ed
wards D-La., appointed by her
governor-husband to succeed the
late Sen. Allen J. Ellender with
the understanding she would not
run again.
Political observers expect Sen.
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.
All 10 women House members
running for re-election, including
colorful freshman Bella Abzug,
D-N.Y., appear safe.

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

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.
