STATE
y VErN SANFORD
AUSTIN, Tex. — "Thlii&s are
going to gel worst1, unless we plan
and fight a war against drug abuse
in Texas," Gov. Preston Smith told
the Conference on Public Health
ant' Drugs.
Noting that in the past 10 years
"arrests of teenagers for drug
abuse increased 800 per cent,"
Smith urged the conference lo come
up with new means of controlling
and preventing drug problems, as
well as reviewing what is being
done.
"We need to examine penalties,"
he said.
"The drug offender who is caught
is often very young. He may have
been pressured into experimenta-
tion with drugs.
"Yet, within the legal machinery,
his punishment can be as severe
as that of a dope pusher, or seller.
"Is tills fair? Or is it out of
proportion with crime?" Smith
asked.
Karller, Lt. Gov. Hen Barnes —
j accompanied by newsmen, law of-
ficcis and government officials —
toured drjg treatment and mental
health facilities over the state. On
the trip, Barnes proposed a Stat' ■
I drug center near a medical school
I for treatment, rehabilitation and
I research.
Later, Barnes joined Atty. Gen.
Crawford Martin at the meeting of
the Crime and Narcotics \dvisory
Committee with the Texas Agency
to hear what plans the agency has
developed for teaching a course on
the dangers of drugs and crime, as
required by the last legislature.
Speaking to the meeting, Martin
expressed concern over the incrcas
ed used of heroin, which, he said,
is becoming a major problem.
Involving young people in the
program will be necessary if it
is successful, the Attorney General
said, because 'no program of nar-
cotics control can ever be effec-
tive unless the young people them-
selves want it to be effective."

not help pointing out that the stale
