In recent weeks, from his sanctuary at Tachilek, a small Burmese town just over the border from Thailand, he has seen Thai and U.S. narcotics agents striking at the heart of the Asian drug traffic. In June and July agents seized 3,853 kilograms of raw opium, 212 of morphine base, 353 of prepared smoking opium and seven of No. 4 pure heroin. A kilogram is 2.2 pounds.

But the Council on Environmental Quality also said water pollution worsened in the major watersheds it measured. The 450-page annual report contained a new estimate on antipollution spending, $287.1 billion over the next decade. It said the annual cost of improving the environment is estimated to rise from $10 billion in 1970 to $33.3 billion in I960.

The report cautioned that many of the nation's national parks are becoming overcrowded and said restrictions on hotel accommodations and automobile use within the parks soon may be necessary. In a message to Congress accompanying the report, President Nixon said the record of Congress "is entirely inadequate." Nixon said more than 20 of his major environmental proposals are pending. He declared: "The nation needs these laws, and they should be enacted this The council studied 1970 conditions in 82 sites for the report. The year 1970 is the last for which statistics were available. "Based on almost all measures used, air quality on a nationwide basis improved between 1969 and 1970," the report said.

"While some of this apparent improvement may be due to changes In weather, localized short-term fluctuations or other factors aside from a meaningful reduction of emissions, the trend is promising." The report said that for two of the five major pollutants, carbon monoxide and particulates, emissions in 1970 were less than they were in 1969. Emissions were greater for one pollutant, nitrogen oxide, and were unchanged for sulphur oxides and hydrocarbons. The previous year four of the five pollutants had increased. One of the council's studies produced what it called an "extreme value index" measuring high-level pollution for short periods of times that are most directly linked to personal comfort. Under the EVI study, the council reported a 16.9 per cent improvement nationwide in air quality between 1969 and 1970.

The worst air pollution conditions were found in cities over 400,000. But the report said it was surprised that "commu- nities under 100,000 population suffer problems almost as severe as those in the large cities." As for water pollution, the White House said there was "a mixed picture of trends for specific pollutants in selected river basins throughout the country over the period 1965-1970." The report Included a chart which showed there were 76,299 miles of polluted streams in 1971, an increase of 5,435 from 1970. According to the report, concentrations of phosphates and nitrogen cause "dying of in both urban and rural river basins, apparently due to increased use of fertilizers. There also was an increase in August 7, oxygen-demanding wafj which the report said auggei that pollution from run-off ff farms, feed lota and urban areas is more significant than previously thought. first Jump IS L8SI WICHIIA, chute jump fell to her her mother and three watched from the Christine Curtis, 20, fell about 3,000 feet Sunday when her parachute malfunctioned, sheriff's deputies said.

Of the children studied, 29 per cent of the girls from the lower socio-economic levels were obese at age 6 compared to three per cent of the upper level girls. The differences continued to age 18, but fell to a minimum at age 12, when 13 per cent of the poor girls and 9 per cent of the rich girls were overweight, the study indicated. "One might speculate that this had to do with considerable social pressure on women to be thin," Dr.

Filion said. "This tends to be more true with the upper socioeconomic class." The difference was less striking with the boys according to the study. At age six, 40 per cent of the poor boys were obese, compared to 25 per cent of the rich, the researchers found. But the wealthy boys were fatter at age 12 with the poor boys again becoming heavier by age 14. The researchers, headed by Dr.

Albert Stunkard, concluded that "Socioeconomic status and related social factors have more to do with determining whether a person will be obese than does individual psychopathology." season from November through to February should see him hurting." graduate of He is education MR.
