Is The Onus On
The Parents?
Two more experts have joined the chorus blaming
parents for the escalating use of drugs by youth.
“America is a drug-oriented society and adults have
set the standard by their own behavior,” write Allen
Geller and Maxwell Boas in a new book, “The Drug
Beat."
Teen-agers have grown up in a world in which mood-
changing substances are a fact of life, say the authors.
'Sleeping pills, stimulants, tranquilizers and
depressants are a national habit.
“Thus reared on a diet of mood-altering drugs along
with their Wheaties and sundaes, it was only to bq
expected that the youngsters would emulate their
^parents' habits and eventually sniff glue and raid their
parents' medicine cabinets to obtain those chemical
kicks that their parents seem to be experiencing.”
Undoubtedly, parental example is a factor in the
• drug problem of. some kids, just as undoubtedly there is
a host of other factors involved. It may also be guessed
— and even the experts are doing a lot of guessing on
this subject — that some kids who are messing around
wuh mind-blowing substances have parents who have
never taken anything stronger than aspirin.
-- It would be enlightening if someone would do a really
scientific study of the relationsliip between the con-
tents of a family’s medicine cabinet and their child’s
experimentation with chemical kicks to prove once and
for all. or to lay to rest once and for all, this easy
allegation... .r?—

Compact Trash,
But Then What?
WASHINGTON - In an
earlier column, we reported
that food brokers have offered
weekends in Paris, playglrls in
hotel roorts, free use of credit
cards, payment of personal
bills and cash under the table
to induce commissary officers
to buy their products.
An attempt to eliminate the
high-pressure salesmanship
1 and clean up the corruption has
been thwarted, however, by the
prestigious Defense Supply

the brokers and producers to-
harvest gold and cogpertone, can compress enough
trash to fill four garbage cans (a week’s worth for the

, The clean-up was attempted

Cans, jars, bottles, newspapers, .cartons —
everything except food wastes — are compacted by a
ram mechanism and delivered up in a sanitized plastic
bag ready to be carried out to the sidewalk.

Unfortunately, the challenge facing many com-
munities today is not how to collect trash but what to do

ter list of food that American,
housewives prefer. His idea
was to u* the list to make pur- - -
chases for the entire $2.5 bil-
lion-a-year commissary sys-
tem.
This would have eliminated
most of the military brokers,
only opposed the master pur-
chase plan but asked Munster,
as Commissary Support Serv-
ices chief, to sponsor the asso-
ciation’s 1970 convention in
Philadelphia. Munster refused.
McNamara warned tfte colo-
\ nel that he could expect trouble
1 “if you cross up the brokers.".
Munster denied a report that
M&famara also threatened to >
Mock his promotion. Munster
acknowledged that McNamara
had warned against crossing
up the brokers but insisted that
, the statement had been made
“in a friendly way.”
The colonel still refused to
sponsor the convention, which
was held under other auspices.
In at least one hospitality
room, scantily-clad girls ser-
ved as hostesses.
McNamara denied to my as-
sociate, Les Whitten, any
knowledge of the corruption in
the commissary system. But
the retired general admitted he
was investigating a broker who
had “young ladies in the hospi-
tality rooms in immodest

no sure tricks in hearts. So
military housewives like it or
not.”
BOMB SNIFFER - In the af-
termath of the Capitol bomb-
ing, Senate Public Works
Chairman Jennings Randolph,
D-W. Va., has been secretly in-
vestigating devices that will
detect bombs being smuggled
into public buildings. Scientists
have showed him plans for a
gadget that literally would be
able to smell a hidden bomb by
picking up the vapors that
emanate from the explosives.
It would cost an estimated $100
million to develop this highly
sensitive bomb detector, which
could be ready in a few months.

lead won't be the winner
every time It is possible to
set up hands where the heart
lead will give South his con-
tract and the spade lead will
defeat declarer. However,
we can assure you that year
in and year out the heart
lead will work out better
•This time is, of course, an
extreme case. If the spade
is opened South will make
at least four no-trump and

ace go to sleep."
NEW YORK (AP)-The col-
lapse of the Penn Central Co.
occurred "under the noses of
the largest concentration of fi-
nancial and business writers in
the world,” said Rep. Wright
Patman, suggesting that they
didn’t smell a thing.
This observation by the
chairman of the House Banking
Committee may require some
qualification because some
faint scents were picked upi but
it cannot be dismissed either
because it is not completely
false.
It also raises questions about
the character and availability
of the raw materials of report-
age.
So complex are modem fi-
nancing and accounting tech-
niques that even public accoun-
tants have been known to badly
misinterpret what was placed
before them.
As Patman stated, the Secu-
rities and Exchange Commis-.
sion and the Interstate Com-
merce Commission, relying on
standard data, also “failed the
public miserably." And many
financial men, relying on stand-
ard data, misled other finan-
ciers. .
Dun 4 Bradstreet, for ex-
ample rated Penn Central a
prime investment just weeks
before the collapse. And Gold-
man, Sachs & Cb., which mar-
keted millions in Penn Central
notes, said it believed one
month before the collapse that
the company was sound.
• There was no adverse news
at the time,” said Robert Wil-
son, partner in charge of com-
mercial paper. "The last quar-
ter of 1969 and the first quarter
of 1970 showed an earnings
toss," he said, "but lay that
against it being the largest rail-
road in the world."
Wilson perhaps succumbed to
the same weakness sometimes
attributed e». the financial
press, which is that big busi-
ness is held to be sacrosanct,
that its surface statements are
always correct and according
incl ude the regulatory agencies,
accountants, commercial paper
dealers and the rating firms
that evaluated the railroad’s
notes as a prime investment
medium.
Many inside the Penn Central
didn't know what really was go-
ing on, specifically some direc-
tors, as well as the finance! of-
ficers of other companies who
purchased Penn Central paper.
Many companies that uncriti-
cally snapped up Penn Central
commercial paper, or lOUs,
were convinced that somebody
else had looked into the value
of such paper, and so they read
only the standard reports on
the company.
Some of these purchasers,
shocked and chagrined, now
are suing the dealers, claiming
they were misinformed or im-
properly informed.
The dealers claim they have
little obligation other than to
present all available informa-
tion and that, furthermore, all
purchasers of commercial pa-
per have equal access to the
facts on their own.

We are not only running out of convenient sites for

trash but a valuable resource we must sooner or later
