The resolution was passed Saturday during the group's annual convention here. The American Legion also passed resolutions condemning North Vietnam for "brutal treatment of American prisoners of war" and "to sponsor a statewide Congress against communism and subversive activities" and to present an Americanism award to actor John Wayne. The Phoenix post presented a resolution asking for state legislation establishing a soldier's home that would be partly financed by the federal government. The Legionnaires also passed a resolution opposing the admission of Red China to the United Nations. The Legion also opposed proposals to reduce the number of veterans hospitals in the United States and any reduction of fringe benefits to members of the armed forces such as free medical and dental care.

The Legion also went on record favoring an investigation of the activities of the American Civil Liberties Union. Fabric Search For Narcotics Stepped Up ities.

To bolster morale and get servicemen away from drugs, Cushman also has ordered that recreational facilities and activities be expanded. The general visited an antidrug rock music festival Saturday night, then went to a coffee house, at an air base near here, where he talked with some men about the drug problem. Officials said nearly all those joining the amnesty program did so on the second or third day of the crackdown, indicating their heroin supplies had run out and they were facing the problem of withdrawal. In addition to the addicts who joined the amnesty program, sources said, about 200 soldiers have been identified as hard drug users and have begun medical treatment.

Many others are trying to break the habit on their own. Authorities have seized 234 vials of heroin, 60 pounds of marijuana and assorted pills. Eight Americans are held for illegal possession of hard drugs and six for possession of marijuana. Another 182 have been arrested as AWOL, most of them in Can Tho. The five-day old antidrug drive has produced some interesting personal accounts.

One American soldier claimed he was searched 30 times in one day. A civilian technician flying around the delta in a helicopter said the aircraft and everybody on it was searched for drugs every time it landed. The drive drew praise from some addicts themselves. A 19-year-old soldier named Ralph said he had decided to break himself of the heroin habit because Cushman's crackdown had given him the confidence to do it. "I want to be respected because I'm coming down off this stuff.

This program has gotten a lot of people off smack (heroin) and that's good." CAN THO, South Vietnam (AP) American servicemen addicts are joining the drug amnesty program in increased numbers as a result of a crackdown in the Mekong Delta. The top U.S. general in the region says the crackdown was secretly planned and executed like a political coup. After the first four days of the deltawide campaign that began last Tuesday, about 120 soldiers had signed up for the amnesty program that is designed to help cure addicts without punitive measures, officials said. Comparing this with an average of one or two servicemen a day who had joined the delta amnesty program since Jan.

1, the officials cited it as evidence that the crackdown is having the desired effect of drying up supplies of heroin. Maj. Gen. John H. Cushman, commander of the 8,000 Americans based in the delta region, said Saturday he ordered the crackdown on drug traffic because he believed the safety and welfare of Americans was his largest responsibility.

"And I'm going to do everything I can to keep my men from being exposed to narcotics," he added. Under Cushman's order, all U.S. servicemen are confined to their compounds except on official business. All military personnel, Vietnamese civilian employes, military vehicles and aircraft are subject to search for narcotics. Originally planned for three days, the crackdown has been extended for at least a week and perhaps longer.

In an interview at his headquarters here, Cushman said the antidrug drive the first of its kind in Vietnam was conceived and organized secretly, with only a handful of top officers in on the plans and few others alerted until the last minute. He said he had told Lt. Gen. Ngo Quang Truong, the South Vietnamese commander of military Region 4 which encompasses the delta, that "it was like coup. Everybody had to be prepositioned, but as few people as possible had to know." Explaining the tight clampdown; Cushman said: "If you had a cholera epidemic and no cure would you turn YDS.

Richard Uruchurtu, chief of the Yuma FAA flight service station, said the instruments, wheels and propeller of the plane were taken. The plane took off Thursday afternoon when Charles Fox, 18, of Calexico, started its engine by twirling the propellers. Fox said he tried to stop the plane but was unable to before it took off. The plane flew for more than two hours before it crashed on a restricted military bombing range east of Yuma. Officials said the wheels and instruments were needed in order to conduct an investigation.

Williams Praises Drought Planning By Hopi Tribe SECOND MESA (AP) Gov. Jack Williams praised the Hopi tribe Saturday for having the foresight to prepare for the present drought. Dedicating the Hopi Cultural Center, Williams said, "Your range management programs and your water conservation programs are helping in the emergency." "The Hopi tribe today is pursuing a course of self-determination, economic development and community development and is assuming its rightful place in Arizona," he said.

"Heroin addiction in Vietnam has seized the interest of the country in an unparalleled way," Javits said after the tour through the South Bronx.

The New York Republican, a member of Hughes' subcommittee, said he felt "that the United States has a continuing responsibility to finance transit from the military to civilian life by using existing facilities or rehabilitation." Arnold Valeria, 24, told Hughes that during his tour of naval duty in Vietnam in 1968 he was "certain at least 150 out of 500 men on my ship were strungout on heroin. Asked by Hughes what he thought of the proposal to treat addicted servicemen for 30 days after their tour of duty, Valeria commented: "I think they'll definitely shoot up again after they're off the program."

A spokesman for the National League of Families of American POWs said she believes Mrs. Roger Ingvalson is the first wife to die while her husband was held captive. The league, in telegrams to North Vietnamese Premiere Phan Van Dong and delegates to the Paris Peace Talks, asked that Lt Col. Ingvalson, an Air Force pilot shot down in May 1968, be temporarily freed. His wife died Friday of multiple sclerosis at her home in Sanford, Maine, the league said.

She had an 11-year-old son. The telegram signed by league coordinator Joan Vinson said, "In the name of humanity we appeal to you to release Lt CoL Ingvalson so he can return to the funeral of his wife and be with his 11-year-old son and his wife's family in their grief." The funeral is scheduled for Monday. Mrs. Vinson said Ingvalson has been among American POWs whom the North Vietnamese have a Dewed to be photographed and interviewed in recent years.

Harold E. Hughes heard stories of G.I. addiction from former servicemen Saturday as he and Sen. Jacob K. Javits concluded a two-day tour of local narcotics rehabilitation projects.

The senators picked their way through seamy Bronx slum sites, but encountered nothing like the menacing situation in Harlem on Friday, when Hughes and newsmen barged into a heroin addicts' basement "shooting gallery." The Iowa Democrat got out fast after being threatened and berated by a group of addicts gathered for the purpose of injecting drugs. Hughes, who said his Senate subcommittee on alcoholism and narcotics would hold hearings on heroin maintenance for addicts in Washington next Thursday, told newsmen he had encountered great "anger, bitterness and venom" in the visits to addict centers. He decried also what he described as infighting among various rehabilitation groups scrambling for funding. During a stop at the SERA center standing for Service, Education, Rehabilitation and Addiction Hughes spoke to -once-addicted veterans working in the therapy and job-oriented facility.

Shootout Frees 4 Inmates From Argentine Prison BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) Four armed men masquerading as lawyers talked their way into a women's prison Saturday, shot it out with guards and fled with four inmates.

One of the raiders was fatally wounded and threee guards, a Roman Catholic nun and a policeman also were wounded, police said. An underground communique issued later to news media said the raid was the work of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, the Peronist Armed Forces (FAP) and the Montoneros, all guerrilla group formed by folowers for former dictator Juan Peron. Police said one of the women freed from the prison was convicted of participating in subversive action by the FAP. The Montoneros have claimed responsibility for the 1969 kidnaping and assassination of former President Pedro E. Arambum.

CoL Miguel Angel Paiva, director of the institutions, said Jour men claiming to be attorneys for prisoners were admitted to the downtown prison. Once inside they drew weapons. The security chief and two guards were wounded in the ensuing shootout. The nun, who was working among the inmates, was hit on the head with a gun butt when she threw away a ring of keys, officials said. AND PILLOW CASES.
