Editorial—
Ireal The Causes, Not The Symptoms
Parents, once confident of "knowing
daughter well,” now steal worried glances toward their,
children, checking for dilated pupils, sudden changes]
In mood or appetite, or the scars of a hypodermic needle
—all signs of drug abuse. Business executives, no longer
confronted with just the occasional office alcoholic, now
must cope with the office “junkie” who supplies his fel-
low employees with drugs during coffee breaks. Quiet,
rural communities are shocked to discover that the drug
threat is no longer confined to big cities.
Notwithstanding vastly increased federal, state and
leer1 efforts, drug abuse throughout the nation continues
to skyrocket. It is abundantly clear that more laws, lar-
ger Dolice forces and stricter enforcement policies have
failed to stem the spreading epidemic of drug abuse.
Concerned leaders are now stopping to ask: why? Why
do some people begin misusing drugs in the first place?
Many theories have been offered; for example, “the
coaxing of a drug-using peer group”; favorable endorse-
ments given to drugs in underground newspapers or in;
the lyrics of acid r<?ck music: movies which glorify illegal
drug use; the desire to escape from every-day living
pressures. But the guesses have only served to confirm
that no one really knows. There is, in fact, an appalling
lack of hard knowledge as to why people begin misusing
drugs. And as the confused debate goes on, more youth
every day begin injecting into their veins substances
ranging from meat tenderizer to uncut heroin.
It is altogether encouraging to rio'te that there is
now a bill pending before Congress—called the Com-
prehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act—
that provides for a study to be conducted by a specially
appointed Presidential Commission to investigate the
causes—not the symptoms—of drug abuse. The idea is
to discover and strike at the source of drug addiction.
It is safe to predict that until an authoritative and
comprehensive study is undertaken to detect the root
causes of drug abuse, our attempts to curb the problem
will run about the way it has in the past—the blind
leading the blind. If future programs intended to com-
bat drug abuse are to have any chance of success, they
must begin from a solid base of factual knowledge on
the subject. Let us hope that Congress takes this impor-
tant step in the right direction.

Our idea of a pleasant life is to have more income
than expense and little or nothing to do.
One trouble with the news, as it is retailed in this
country, is that it plays up too many freaks.
OUR I.IBF.RAI. SENATORS
■MAKE STRANGE
BEDFELLOWS
There was, recently, an out-j
break of sanity and common
sense in the United States Se-
nate — a rare day when the
majority of the Senators, pre-
sent and voting, decided to
stand up for America and a-
gainst communism. As may be
expected, the major news me-
dia virtually ignored the event,
which makes it • all the more
worthy of attention.
The Senate is currently work-
ing on the appropriations bill,
deciding where the billions of
your tax dollars shall be spent
during the coming months and
years. One recent Monday, a-
mong other things, the matter
came up involving the annual
$7 million contribution by the
United States to an agency
known as the International La-
bor Organization.
Probably not one percent of
the American people even know
the International Labor Organ-
ization even exists. It is one of
the agencies of the United Na-
tions, and it is controlled abso-
lutely by the communists. The
I.L.O., as it is known, is scar-
cely more than a forum used
by the communists to heap a-
buse upon the United States.
Yet, for years, the taxpayers
of this country have been pro-
viding more than 25 percent of
the total financial support for
the organization. The Soviet U-
nion, by comparison, picks up
only ten percent of the tab. Yet
the Russians dominate the or-
ganization, and have used its
meetings to lambast the Unit-
ed States.
The International Labor Or-
ganization is so bad that George
Meany, president of the AFL-
CIO, appeared before a Con-
gressional committee to recom-
mend that the United States

"Those of us who have attend-
ed I.L.O. meetings in the last
few years have been subjected

But, you know something?
The leftwingers in the Senate
fought to their last breath to
force the American taxpayers
to continue to help finance this
organization. They lost. The
vote was 49 to 22, to cut off the
money. Javitts, McGovern, Ful-
bright — the usual crowd: they
insisted that we continue to
fork over millions of dollars
each year for communist pro-
paganda. But, for a change,
they were on the losing side.
TV TEW YORK—Buffy Sainte-Mane is a tal-
1 X ented songwriter and singer of folk, pop,
and country music. Many know her aa tha
composer of the recent hit, "Until It's Tima
for Us to Go.” Of all the artists who sang it,
Buffy liked Glenn Campbell's version the best.
Asked if she had a formula for writing
songs, she said, "There are many different
ways. Sometimes It's planned, something hap-
pens and I get an idea. Sometimes it’s off the
top of my head.”
The pretty long-haired Buffy was In New
York briefly for promotional appearances and
a recording date. She combined this with an
Indian interview at one of the philanthropic founda-
tions in the hope of getting funds for educa-
tional projects for American Indians.
Buffy’s interest in the American Indian is more than the
I nominal support of a show business personality for a worthy
j cause. She herself is a Crce Indian. And, despite personal suc-
' cess in recordings and songwriting, she cannot divorce herself
from difficulties of her felUw Indians. Rather, she now feels that
her position of prominence can help in directing attention and
aid to the stifling and meager existence of the American Indians.
Commenting on the current, dismal living standards of In-
j dlans, which she feels is due to apathy on the part of most
Americans, Buffy says, "It conies down to individual responsi-
bility. We know we get 65 years or so. If we only care Friday
night at a cocktail party, there won’t be any improvement ”
Buffy also feels that the move must be made on every front:
Politics, educatio nd through the media. Simply put, those
! with it—must £ e to those without.
