It is also a display exploding the notion that the British have solved the problem of narcotics Addic Tion. The system has failed a new one has been ordered and will take effect soon. But not Many expect that it will work much better. The old Ual doctors supplying addicts with prescriptions for their daily have worked until 1950, when there1 probably no More than 25 addicts in All Britain and even until 1960, when there were still Only a few score. Then there was an explosion no one can prove Why. Addiction increased and is still increasing by More than 50 per cent every year. The official figure for known addicts in 1966 was the actual number being at least three times higher. It is trifling compared to America s total. What is not trifling is that the american drug tation of heroin underworld peddling and pushing and virulently infectious spread ing in a growing dope sub become the pattern Here too. In theory a Junkie May Register with a physician under the National health service receive a prescription for his each Day or two and. Halve it filled All without practice All but Ani Eric few doctors refuse i to accept addicts As patients. The few dedicated physicians who do can count on each addict consuming 25 times More of their time than a average patient. But without any compensatory monetary return whatsoever. While some fraction of the junkies get such treatment and the other portion is cared Lor by government clinics a much larger group applies to one of half dozen or so private doctors who for a fee ranging from to for each visit write out prescriptions that can then clearance of used office equipment Flat.

How do they afford it since almost none Are hold ing a Job simply by having their prescriptions written for about three times their needs and Selling two thirds of the drugs they get to other addicts who Are other Wise totally uncured for. A staggering revelation of How the system operates came last weekend1 when one of London s most not orious prescription paddlers was arrested another fell ill and a third went on Vaca Tion. A private organization dealing wit i drug addicts barely saved the Day by setting up an emergency clinic. Last year the government realized that a change was essential and drafted Laws anew to take effect perhaps by april. They forbid any general practitioner prescribing drugs for an addict. Only special treatment units mostly in hospitals in London where addiction is concentrated May do so. The trouble is that so far the ministry of health has shown no competence in creating Tho new system. The supposedly existing treatment centres Are largely figments of the m i n i s t r y s imagination. Those purporting to operate do so on part time Are woefully inadequate in staff interest experience and even technical knowledge. One of them recently gave a Junkie his heroin As a Pill with a Glass of water. He was clearly the first addict the staff had Ever seen and was obliged to explain How main lining is done. The handful of real experts in Britain s drug prob Lem Are deeply worried Over the fearing that the new treatment centres will operate in such a Way that the junkies will simply not return to them after a first visit but will turn else where to an easier psychologically More agree ably source of drug Supply. In that very act they will thereby create what Britain has so far been spared a Black Market in drugs with All its dreadful appendages. For where the demand for narcotics exists the Supply will be provided. The Jun Kies already have their wind up. And. Few.

The . Government paid him for it believing it was Medicine. But the full Story of How or. Gubbay apparently took advantage of . Aid to Vietnam and profited enormously through drug sales is slowly being unravelled by Senate investigators. They have uncovered a tale of world wide business intrigue that involves More than one Man s dealings. In the opinion of some it also casts doubt on spending practices of the Agency for International development the record of the Senate permanent investigations subcommittee paints or. Gubbay 56, As an elusive but articulate citizen of the world a briton with italian Headquarters who writes business letters in French a Well travelled Man who has avoided testimony in Washington. Familiar with regulations governing . Economic Aid he allegedly Circum vented them until be was suspended from participation in the Aid program by South Vietnam authorities at the request of .

Of Money Nixon May get the last laugh on democrats Washington special owns Richard mucous Nixon who has announced his second bid for the . Presidency has been a major figure in american politics for As Long As most voters can remember. The joke indeed goes that he has been around for so Long that he in t even controversial any More and that could conceivably turn into a problem for the democrats if he eventually be comes the Republican can a congressman at 34, a senator at 38, vice president to Gen. Dwight Eisen. Hower at 40, the rapidity of his Early Rise to Fame Bis rarely been matched in the annals of . Politics. The presidential contest in 1960 against John f. Kennedy was in fact the first election he had Ever lost in his whole career. But after at least for a period things could hardly have gone worse for him. Widely though prob ably unfairly reproached by his fellow republicans for having run a Lack Lustre Campaign against or. Ken Nedy in 1960, or. Nixon tried two years later to redeem himself by running for the governorship of California. It turned out to be a near fatal error. His second successive defeat and perhaps even worse his reaction to it All but destroyed him As a presidential Prospect for Good. In the initial moment of Shock even or. Nixon appeared to accept that there was now nothing for it but to Settle into private life. Gentlemen he told the reporters bitterly after the election was Over think what you re going to be missing. You re not going to have Dick Nixon to kick around any More for this is my last press conference. Miraculously however four years later in the mid term elections of 1966, he was Back As undisputed titular Leader of the Republican party and today he is unquestionably Odds on favorite to be Lyndon John son s Republican opponent next november. It is no secret that the White House is delighted at or. Nixon s candidature even president Johnson is reported to have told friends i want him so badly i can almost taste it could however be that or. Nixon is Beng written off altogether too easily. Certainly his supporters claim that he is now a. Changed Man no longer the tense worried Over tired presidential aspirant of 1960, but instead a relaxed self assured even witty candidate capable of holding his own on the personal level with any. Other contender. It is of course by no Means the first time that the claim has been made that. A new Nixon has emerged even motorcars Are not remodelled and restyled quite As often As Richard Nixon s image has been. But whether or not or. Nixon has really changed and his speeches Are certainly much funnier than they used to be what is Clear is that even Liberal reactions to him Are much less they once were. No one seems to have any explanation for the new mood of. Tolerance towards him but maybe it is simply that a kind of statute of limitations operates in politics just As it does in the certainly the Darker parts of or. Nixon s past the red baiting technique he used in winning his Early elections in California his mawkish checkers speech in 1952, in reply to the about his improper use of Campaign funds no longer evoke the passionate revulsion they once did. One of the easiest errors in politics is to insist on fighting yesterday s Battles Long after they have ceased to have any meaning for. The majority of the electorate. The democrats could Dis cover Only too easily that they have made precisely that mistake if they attempt to make too much of a bogeyman out of Richard Nixon. Good surveillance.
