Washington Whirl —
President-elect Jimmy Car-
ter has promised an open
administration when he
takes over the federal gov-
ernment. Yet when his tran-
sition teams began pre-
paring for the Democratic
changeover, they received
stern warnings that they
would be held responsible if
any of their papers leaked to
the press.

senior official who bothered
to consult the AFL-CIO

sake of profit."
The pontiff, his frail voice
growing more animated as
he spoke, denounced the
dope dealer*. “The time has
come,” be declared, “to
unite all the powers at our
disposal in order to put an
end to his scourge thst is
such a real danger for...
humanity.”
After the audience, the
pope visited privately with
Rep. Wolff. They exchanged
views with all the seal of a
couple of narcotics experts
planning a worldwide crack-
down.
According to a transcript
of the conversation, Wolff
said: “Your Holiness, we
have found that one method
of stopping the drug traffic
is to reduce the amount of
drugs that are produced at
their source by the in-
dividual country.”
“Do you have a contact
here in Italy?” asked the
pontiff.
“Yes.” said Wolff. “We
have been meeting with
your drug enforcement peo-
ple, with all the various
agencies of your police.”

pearance of Reclamation
Commissioner Gil Stamm on
Capitol Hill recently to tes-
tify about the Teton Dam
disaster, which killed 11
people and washed away
about $1 billion worth of
Idaho real estate.
A disgruntled Stamm was
hauled before the House
Conservationsubcommittee,
which is headed by Rep. Leo
Ryan (D.-Calif.). As he en-
tered the hearing room,
Stamm was greeted by some
fellow bureaucrats, who
asked how he was bearing
under the pressure of a
congressional inquiry.
“Well, I will tell you one
thing,” he reportedly snort-
ed. loud enough to be heard
around the room, “I’m not
losing any sleep at night!”
The remark annoyed
Ryan, who included it in the
subcommittee’s report.
When Stamm read the re-
port, he hit the ceiling.
Angrily, he fired off a pri-
vate letter to the con-
gressman.
“I was disturbed,” com-
plained Stamm, “first, to
find in a hearing report a
statement that was alleged-
ly overhead in a private
conversation before the
start of the hearings, and
second. I object because
neither statement nor the
quotation is true.”

Wolff s work “in order to he

more the activities you have
begun.”
The pope added that “ec-
clesiastical efforts in various
countries” are being made to
fight drugs, but “these are
not sufficiently well coordi-
nated.”
Footnote: Peter Bensing-
er, the U.S. drug enforce-
ment chief, accompanied the
congressmen during their
call upon Pope Paul. Ben-
singer was so impressed
that he sent a personal cable
to his 131 offices around the
world reporting what the
pope had said. “All DEA
employees should be greatly
encouraged,” cabled Ben-
singer, “by the strong state-
ment made by the Holy
Father, condemning drug
abuse in the world, and the
offering of his personal as-
sistance.”

DEAR ABBY: Tell me if I’m wrong, but I do not
appreciate receiving a card at Christmastime informing me
that a gift in my name has been sent to the starving
children of Bangladesh, the earthquake victims of
Guatemala, or a handicapped war veteran.
I personally donate to many worthy causes, but I-also
send my friends and relatives Christmas gifts and cards.
When I get one of these “a-gift-in-your-name" certifi-
cates, I feel that I am being used as a tax deduction, which
is no gift at all. Care to comment?

DEAR USED: I disagree. In my opinion, one of the more
civilized practices of recent yeara ia donating to charity
instead of giving extravagant gifts to thorn who already
have more than they need. Knowing that a starving child,
an earthquake victim or a handicapped war veteran had
received help in my name would be gift enough for me.
DEAR ABBY: How would you handle the following
problem if you were “Boy C”:
Boy A took a new school book (school property, too)
loaned to Boy B and defaced it terribly. Boy B was not
around when this happened, and the only one who saw him
do it was Boy C.
Should Boy C tell the teacher what he saw?

DEAR WORRIED: On the principle that every citizen
has a duty to report a crime of which he has knowledge,
Boy C should reveal who defaced the book belonging to
Boy B. In so doing, however, Boy Cis justified ia asking for
anonymity. Otherwise, in today’s climate of violence, an
act of good citizenship could become an epitaph.
DEAR ABBY: Although I have a full-time job, take care
of our home and three children, I still find time to make all
my own clothes. I am very proud of my sewing ability, and
I certainly save a lot of money.
I rgcqive many compliments on my clothes, and when I
tell people I ntake them, they appear to be amazed. Most
say they thought I buy them at one of the most expensive
stores in town.
My husband tells me I am wrong to tell people I make
my own clothes. He says I should let them think I paid a
high price for them.
I think being able to make things that can pass for
store-bought merchandise is something to be proud of. I
welcome your opinion as well as those who have been
through this kind of controversy.
