WASHINGTON — A new government report indicates more
[mericans are using marijuana and softening their stand against it, but
e not yet ready to make it legal.
The 7th Annual Report on Marijuana and Health, released Wednes
day, showed a sharp rise in pot smoking, especially among teen-agers,
nlus some indications of marijuana s continued therapeutic uses.
J According to the report, between 1976 and 1977 — the year of the
rrent survey — the number of youngsters ages 12 to 17 currently
ing pot rose by nearly a third. The increase was from 12.4 to 16.1
■rcent and nearly 30 percent of that age group has tried it once —
suits that HEW Secretary Joseph Califano called “particularly alarm
ing.
I “It is sheer folly for millions of young Americans to indulge in a drug
bile so little is know about its long-term consequences,” Califano
id.
But the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws
id the statement was a “disservice to the public.” Spokesman Peter
Meyers said Califano should also point out marijuana is far less danger
ous than tobacco or alcohol — both of which are legal.
The 1977 survey said 43 million people have tried pot once and 16
illion used it regularly. The 1976 survey found 36 million who tried it
and 15 million regular users.
More than three-quarters of the 12-17 age group and those older
an 26 agreed marijuana should continue to be illegal “or that our
iresent laws be made still stricter.” Even among the peak using group
18- to 25-year-olds, the report said 40 percent believe pot should
remain illegal.
The report also found that among both the 12-17 age group and
ults over 36, “attitudes toward marijuana have become increasingly
sitive.”
As for the peak using group of young adults, 18-25, “there has been a
10 percent increase in the acceptability of marijuana as a regular
mmercial product.”
No new discoveries have been made regarding therapeutic applica-
ions of marijuana, according to the report, but “its use in the treat-
of nausea accompanying cancer chemotherapy and in the treat
ment of glaucoma remain promising.”
Among other findings:
—More men than women smoke pot;
—More whites than members of minority groups smoke pot;
—There have been few new research developments;
—Combined use of marijuana and alcohol may be more hazardous
an use of either alone;
—And, there is no evidence that pot-smoking damages chromo-
[omes.

WASHINGTON — Press groups
say the Supreme Court is treading on
their First Amendment rights again.
They are upset by a new ruling
that the Constitution does not shield
journalists who are sued for libel
from answering pre-trial questions
about their “state of mind” and
editorial discussions affecting story
preparation.
But a college professor says the
practical impact of the decision re
mains to be seen.
The case involves former Lt. Col.
Anthony Herbert, a career soldier
who publicly charged in 1971 the
Army had covered up Vietnam War
atrocities. He filed a defamation suit
when CBS Inc.’s “60 Minutes” ran a
report in 1973, casting doubt on his
allegations.
During pre-trial proceedings, “60
Minutes” producer Barry Lando,
one of the defendants, balked at an
swering questions posed by Her
bert’s lawyers about his thoughts and
opinions about preparing the show
and editorial conversations.
Herbert noted, however, the Su
preme Court in 1964 made it harder
for public figures to win libel suits by
requiring them to prove “actual
malice” or “reckless disregard” of the
truth. He said he needed to have
Lando answer the questions in order
to make his case.
The 2nd U. S. Circuit Court of Ap
peals held for the first time a jour
nalist was shielded from answering
questions about his “state of mind”
and about internal editorial policies.
Its decision was overruled Wed
nesday by the Supreme Court. Jus
tice Byron White, delivering the
opinidn of the six-man majority, said
no First Amendment privilege
shields a journalist from pre-trial
questions about editorial processes
that may produce evidence critical to
a libel case against him.
Jack Landau of the Reporters
Committee for Freedom of the Press
called the decision “a major defeat”
for the First Amendment.
Allen Neuharth, president of the
American Newspaper Publishers As
sociation, said it is “one more step by
the current court to weaken, erode
and diminish freedom of the press,
and by extension, all First Amend
ment freedoms.”
Bill Leonard, president of CBS
News, which now may have a harder
time defending itself against Her
bert’s libel suit, agreed the decision
denies “constitutional protection to
the journalist’s most precious pos
sessions — his mind, his thoughts,
his editorial judgment.”
Prof. A.E. Dick Howard of the
University of Virginia law school said
he is not sure, however, just what
will be the ruling’s practical effect.
“There are many areas of the law
in which a case turns on someone’s
state of mind,” he noted. “Motives

play a big part in litigation, and it is
very common to ask people why they
did what they did. It isn’t a brand
new thing.”
The libel standard set up by the
Supreme Court court for public fig
ures in 1964 “obviously gives a broad
zone of protection to the press,” he
said. Wednesday’s ruling “may be
kind of a tradeoff,” he speculated, in
which the court tries, to balance
things by giving something to the
other side.
