Shock troops fly to Cambodia base Iffl Wirephoto WASHINGTON The Veterans Administration is facing a growing problem of drug abuse inside its own hospitals, triggered in part by the increasing numbers of Vietnam-era veterans among V.A. In some hospitals, drug abuse has created an additional-problem of violent crimes against patients by addicts to get money to pay for their habits. Earlier this year, Michael Burns, executive director of the Paralyzed Veterans of America, told a Senate subcommittee: "If the VA were ever to open the Pandora's box on drug abuse in spinal cord injury wards, it would make any other study on drug abuse seem like nothing." The V.A.

responded with a study of its own which found, in part, "There are some alcohol and-or drug-abuse problems but officials are aware of these problems and are making diligent efforts to control and correct them." An Associated Press survey found that hospital officials were aware of the problem but that none of them had found a solution. Of 12 hospital administrators interviewed, half said they had direct knowledge of drug abuse in their facilities. The other half suspected such activity. "Our internal crime problem is definitely increasing," said Dr. Otto Schaefer, director of the V.A.'s psychiatric hospital at Coatesville, Pa.

WASHINGTON LPr-The Sen-j ate renewed yesterday its call! for total U.S. withdrawal from Indochina, settinga six-month deadline after Democratic leader Mike Mansfield appealed for action to "bring this horrible war to an end." "Why not try?" Mansfield ap-! pealed. "What have we got to! lose? You've got a lot to gain." The vote was 57 to 38 in favor of Mansfield's amendment to set a six-month deadline which would not be binding on President Nixon contingent on release of American prisoners. "YOU can't stop the war by an act of Congress of this kind," Republican leader Hugh Scott said, expressing the Nixon Administration's contention the Mansfield amendment is a waste of time and potentially harmful. Scott's plea was echoed by Chairman John C.

Stennis, of the Armed Services Committee. "Every time we pass this amendment in this way we put obstacles in our path, and lend flilflnimq rr am Ant IVia nnnmi, Stennis said. Noting that a i 1 's amendment to the $21-biIlion military procurement authorization bill, like one with a nine-month deadline passed last June, faces House opposition and a possible conference stale mate, Stennis said it would be better to pass it as separate legislation. "THEY want to hang it on a bill here and send it to a hostile conference," he said. Yesterday's vote was closer Henderson trial denied lie test FT.

The scorching harangue deliv ered by North Vietnamese nego tiator Nguyen Thanh Le and Viet Cong spokesman Ly Van Sau apparently was sparked by Porter's earlier remarks that the Communists were "further from military victory than ever" in Indochina Porter had told the two delegations earlier: "You could do a great deal to counteract the unfortunate impression you have created by your refusal to negotiate if you would put the question of civilized treatment of prisoners in a category apart from political and military subjects." SUCH treatment, Porter said, should be impartially inspected and should include periodic reports on the identity and health of the prisoners, regular mail exchanges with their families, and, in particular, the release of seriously ill and wounded men as well as prisoners held for several years.

About 2,000 government troops were ferried by American and South Vietnamese helicopters to both sides of the frontier in efforts to relieve units at Fire Base Alpha in eastern Cambodia and Fire Base Tran Hung Dao on the Vietnamese side of the border. At last report by nightfall, the defenders still held the bases and the airlifted relief forces were moving toward them.

The 21-day-old hurricane, oldest in recorded history, struck the coast near Morehead City shortly before dawn and edged slowly inland. It smashed an amusement park, tumbled mo bile homes and left a path of downed power lines, trees and other debris. The eye of the storm moved ashore about noon after twice stalling several miles out to sea. At 2 p.m. EDT, the eye was about 20 miles east-northeast of Morehead City.

Highest sustained winds were estimated at 70 to 80 miles an hour, mainly over the water to the south and east of the center. Winds in the center were light. FLOODWATERS up to six feet deep covered about one- third of the streets of New Bern, a city of about 15,000 some 40 miles west of the salt water fishing resort of Morehead City. Three feet of water were report ed in the lobby of the Holiday Inn. Waves crashed over the sea wall at Morehead city and many streets near the coast were flooded.

"I'VE been through a number of hurricanes," said New Bern Mayor Cecil King.

"This one is not severe, just long and drawn out, although it's aggravating enough." Gov. Bob Scott arrived at the stricken area early yesterday afternoon in a convoy of highway patrol cars for an inspection tour. He said there aia not seem to be "the extensive damage you'd normally associate with a large hurricane, but we coma get more damage yet. "We're very fortunate at this point," Scott said. "There's no loss of life and property damage is minimal, i inim oecause of the advance preparation.

They knew the storm was com ing and the people got ready lor it." Many of the refugees found their hurriedly prepared quart ers far from comfortable. About 1,000 of them in six shelters in the Morehead City area had only 40 cots between them.

In Cairo, the Middle East News Agency reported that Egyptian warplanes forced a British cargo aircraft with three crewmen aboard to land at Cai ro Airport yesterday after it flew over the military front lines at the Suez Canal. MENA said the plane, on a flight from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to Athens, later was permit ted by security officials to leave for the Greek capital. In Israel, the newspaper Ye-diot Aharonot said Prime Minister Golda Meir and Defense MINISTER Moshe Dayan would visit the United States this fall to lobby Israel's Middle East position with President Nixon and Defense Secretary Melvin R.

Porter told Hanoi and the Viet Cong yesterday their treatment of American prisoners sets them apart "from the family of law-abiding nations." Porter pleaded in vain at the 130th session of the Vietnam peace talks for impartially verified "civilized treatment" for the prisoners, regardless of the continuing deadlock at the talks. THE Communist delegations immediately rejected his plea and reiterated that freedom or i better conditions for the hundreds of American prisoners remain out of the question unless the United States agrees on unconditional withdrawal of all its forces and stops backing the government of President Nu-gyen Van Thieu. At the end of a bitter meeting, the first in two weeks, Porter told the Hanoi and Viet Cong delegations: "Let it be read into the record that you will not reply to my inquiry as to how you could be harmed by applying civilized treatment to the prisoners of war. This totally negative attitude sets you apart from the family of law-abiding nations."
