For 55 years, since the Harrison Act was passed in 1914, the United States has relied mainly on trying to prevent heroin from getting into the it country or confiscating after it was smuggled in. This has failed to stop the flow. Now there are an estimated 180,000 addicts, and the number is likely to skyrocket FIRST NEWSPAPER because heroin addiction has broken out of the ghetto and is invading middle class and affluent neighborhoods. Nixon is concerned because addiction is a major factor in high crime rates a subject he spent a great deal of time campaigning about and also a major cause of social disorganization in the ghettoes. It is estimated half of the robberies in the District of Columbia are caused by addicts. per cent of the opium that is converted into heroin, and in and around Marseilles, France, SO per Turkey supplies 80 JANUARY WEDNESDAY, cent of the heroin Is processed.

Teamsters Seek -WASHINGTON (UPI) The Teamsters union asked the nation's trucking industry today for a 75 per cent basic wage increase over a three-yea- r period plus $22.50 in fringe benefits. Union bargainers asked for a increase during each year of a proposed three-yea- r contract for hourly drivers, who now earn an average of $4 an hour. This would boost them to $7 an By comparison, Tuesday's high was only 26 and the low was 6. Hign. for the state Tuesday was 43 at St. George. Meanwhile a major winter storm slapped portions of the Eastern seaboard with heavy snow and wind today while an arctic cold snap broke out of the midcontinent and descended on the Deep South. Heavy snow or travelers warnings were in effect for sections of 12 states from the western Carolinas to New York and southern New England. The weapons did not appear to have been fired and I cannot say for certain if he touched ever (Yablonski) them, Snyder said. But he could have gone for them." Big Hike drivers, now paid 12.5 cents per mile, would get a increase each year under the Cver-the-roa- d proposal. The proposals, presented by Teamsters General Vice President Frank E. Fitzsimmons, also called for an increase of $3.75 per week per year for health and welfare benefits and an additional $3.73 per week per year in pension hour. Snyder said onfc of the bullets was .38 caliber, similar to the nine others which were found in the home previously. He said the 11th spent bullet appeared to be a .30 caliber rifle bullet but this is not conclusive." He said the two additional bullets were sent to the Pennsylvania State Police Ballistics Laboratory in Harrisburg. Snyder said two weapons were found in the Yablonski bedroom, both owned by the victim. He identified one as a shotgun and the other a small caliber rifle. NOT FIRED In addition, the Teamsters asked for a cost of living increase of one cent an hour for each 0.3 per cent raise in the consumer price index. The current master contract between the Teamsters and Inc. Trucking Employes (TEI) expires March 31. TEI represents more than 5,10 firms handling most of the nations trucking business, and its Teamsters contract usually sets the industry pattern. Yablonski, his wife, Margaret, and their daughter. Char-lu- ll e, were found shot to death Monday. Snyder said they were killed the night of Dec. 30 or the morning of Dec. 31. UPl The wave of the future is coming and there is no fighting it.

There always will be trouble in iiie worid, but there always will be people helping other people, too people who seldom make the newspapers. Big business can have a big heart, too, and still make a profit for big business after all is made up of people, some of them with big hearts.

But Mrs. Williams had she knew lots of an ally people in the neighborhood where her ramshackle, bungalow was declared unsafe by local authorities. Merchants and tradesmen who had dealt with Mrs. Williams for years banded together. They were joined by high school boys. And the NAACP moved in, too, for Mrs. Williams is a Negro. What it all added up to was six-roo- m k People Helping People a new home for Mrs. built by her friends and neighbors on a let next to her old bungalow. Merchants raised more than $2,000 in four months, but most of it had to go to buy the lot so contractors caught the mood and donated building materials ranging from lumber to concrete blocks and plumbing fixtures.

The home here was established to allow Mr. Nixon to conduct the business of government in the West, Ziegler emphasized. The West is growing, and there is a tremendous shift in population to the West, lie explained. This (the Western White House) has been very effective in pulling the West toward the East and the East toward the West, he said. The response we have had (from letters, telegrams from citizens and congressmen in the West) would indicate it gives the people of the West a feeling of participation in government, Ziegler said. Ziegler quickly denied there is any move afoot to move the nation's capital to the West, and emphasized there is no feeling in the administration that Washington is the wrong spot for the capital.
