WASHINGTON - Soon
after President Nixon pur-
chased his California seaside
estate, the federal government
paid nearly $10,000 for nevi wa-
ter and sevier lines, officials
say.
A .spokesman for the General
Services Administration said
Monday that $6,260 was spent
on a six-inch water line for fire
protection at the W estern White
House in San Clemente.
The line also runs to a swim-
ming pool that Nixon built at
his expense in 1969, sources
said.
The government also paid $3,-
200 of the $9,784 spent on a six-
inch sewer line serving the
S p a n i s h-6tyle home, GSA
spokesman Terry Angelo said.
The Secret Service requested
the water line, which lias a fire

Marijuana Aids Glaucoma Victims
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.
— Brownies spiked with
marijuana aided glaucoma vic-
tims in a test on 100 volunteers,
a Fort Lauderdale eye surgeon
says.
Dr. Frederick Blanton said
Monday he defied federal au-
thorities to administer the
drug-laced brownies to both
glaucoma sufferers and a con-
trol group of persons not af-
flicted with the disease.
"This drug that everybody
thinks is so horrible is perfect
for glaucoma. It's far better for
you tlian alcohol," the 42-year-
old surgeon said.
Blanton said he fed 100
brownies, each containing 1 1-16
grams of Jamaican marijinna,
to 50 volunteers ranging in age
from 28-C5.
He said he measured eye
pressure every hour and found
that it began to drop within an
hour and a half after the
brownies were eaten. It started
rising again after seven hours,
he said. ______
Greenland elects two mem-
bers to the Danish parliament
fire fighting, Angelo said.
The government paid part of
the sewer cost because the line
was larger than usual "to ac-
comodate the federal personnel
stationed there at all times,"
he said.
Other sources said the Secret
Service had requested ex-
pansion of the sewer system.
The $9,460 in federal funds is
in addition to other improve-
ments made at government ex-
pense.
The Associated Press report-
ed two weeks ago that $100,000
in federal funds was spent for
improvements in the San Cle-
mente property to improve
presidential security.
Newsday, ' a Long Island
newspaper, reported Sunday
that $76,000 was spent on land-
scaping at the request of the
Secret Service.
