(AP) Six physicians, including a trustee of East Carolina University and a Lexington medical examiner, are among 100 persons arrested in a statewide crackdown on illegal drug operations. State Bureau of Investigation Director Charles Dunn said there would be a "couple of dozen" additional arrests, including "one or two more doctors."

It's On Nowl SPECIALLY FOR YOU. EVERYTHING IN THIS Democrats in Congress have inftiated several antirecession bills in addition to the tax cut bill. One of these, a $1.3 billion emergency housing bill, has passed the House.

The Senate Banking Committee plans to consider it soon after the recess. The bill allows the government to provide limited subsidies on mortgage interest rates for home buyers. The House Banking Committee also has approved for floor debate a bill to prevent jobless homeowners from losing their houses through mortgage foreclosures. Similar proposals are being considered in the Senate. The House will resume debate after the recess on a bill to boost subsidies for school lunches.

The House has passed a $5.9 billion appropriations bill containing large new allotments for public service jobs and for public works projects with high employment potential. The Senate Appropriations Committee is expected to consider this soon after the recess. The Administration has asked that it be cut back sharply. Both House and Senate have passed an emergency farm bill raising the levels of dairy price supports and setting higher price guarantees for other products. Work on a compromise version is to begin soon after the recess.

The Senate Rules Committee will return after the recess to its counting of disputed New Hampshire ballots to try settle the Senate race in that state be tween Republican Louis C. Wyman and Democrat John A. Durkin. The House Ways and Means Committee already has started work on such a compromise bill and plans to resume its drafting soon after the recess. Chairman Al Ullman, is pushing a plan for a 37-cent increase in the gasoline tax, now 4 cents a gallon, to try to reduce consumption.

A portion of this would be rebated to consumers. However, there is strong opposition to this plan in the House, and some observers say that Ullman's hopes for quick action may be over-optimistic. Ford is pressing Congress to provide additional military aid for Cambodia and South Vietnam, but the prospects are highly uncertain because of substantial sentiment among the majority Democrats against further aid, particularly for Cambodia. Some Republican members of Congress have criticized the Democrats for failing to act on Ford's Indochina aid request before the recess. Soon after the recess, the Senate is to debate a bill to provide $82.5 million for Cambodia, much less than the $222 million asked by the President.

The House Committee on International Relations has opposed that bill but may reconsider. The President's request for $300 million extra for South Vietnam has so far received no consideration. Ford also is pushing for removal of the ban on further military aid to Turkey. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved the end of the ban Wednesday but there will be heavy opposition when it is debated on the floor after the recess. BY JOE HALL Attoaaled Preu Writer WASHINGTON (AP) When it reconvenes April 7 after a 10-day recess, Congress will face troublesome problems on energy, military aid for Southeast Asia and further measures to counter the recession.

The recess began today after the legislators met late Wednesday night to approve a $24.8 billion tax cut measure designed to stimulate the economy. So far the 94th Congress has been far busier than is normally the case in the first session of a new Congress. And the frenetic activity appears likely to continue after the recess. Soon after the new Congress convened in January, Ford confronted the lawmakers with far-reaching proposals on the economy and on energy. The legislators agreed fully with him on the need for a big tax cut, though the tax-cut bill finally passed Wednesday night was larger than what Ford had asked for.

But on energy policy there were sharp differences between the administration and the legislators and among the legislators. The President proposed to cut down on oil imports by raising tariffs in three steps and freeing domestic oil from price controls. Congressional leaders denounced this plan as highly inflationary and undertook to draft their own conservation proposals. Finally Ford agreed to postpone the last two tariff hikes and to try to work out a compromise with Congress. 20 OFF 1 if 1 mmJL BRICKETTES These are real brick.

BELLE CHASSE, La. (AP) He only gave himself 16 or 17 years to "develop into a real person." Then he bade his parents farewell in a note laced with philosophy and hanged himself from a persimmon tree. "When you stop growing you are dead. I stopped growing long ago," wrote the youth, whose body was found six weeks ago but who still has not been identified. His note was found beneath the tree where he hanged himself.

"I never did develop into a real person and I cannot tolerate the false and empty existence I have created," he wrote in the note, addressed only to "Mom and Dad." He added this aside to authorities: "You are bound to preserve domestic peace and order. If you pursue who I was (and spend hundreds of dollars) you will accomplish little. There are no legal consequences of my death or any kind of entanglements. All that can happen is that you will shatter the domestic peace and order of two innocent lives. More minority persons, women hired by state MADISON, Wis.

(AP) The number of women and minorities employed by the state and their pay have increased in the last two years, the Department of Administration said Monday. Women employed by the state increased 8.7 per cent since 1972, while the number of minority persons rose 33 per cent, the department's Affirmative Action Unit reported. Department Secretary Anthony Earl has said increases in some departments were below expectations, and that the unit's program would be transferred to his office. Placing the program in his office "will put state agencies on notice" that he will be "looking closely at their efforts to increase hiring of minorities and women at all levels," Earl said. The report said 12 agencies increased minority employment, and 18 have increased employment of women.

Nine state agencies have no employes belonging to a minority group, the report said. The number of women working for the state increased irom 31,354 to 33,082, or from 43.5 per cent of state employes in 1972 to 44.1 per cent last year. The state had a better overall record of employing women and minorities than Wisconsin's private employers, the reported. The state employed 2,026 blacks, 513 Latin Americans, 253 Indians and 7,166 Asian Americans last year, nearly 1,000 more than in 1972. 20 OFF Mamie Eisenhower listed as fair with internal bleeding Movable and fabric design.

(AP) Mamie Eisenhower is listed in fair condition after suffering a recurrence of internal bleeding at an Army hospital here. A spokesman said Wednesday that doctors previously thought they had stopped the intestinal bleeding for which the 79-year-old former First Lady was hospitalized Tuesday.

Despite the relapse, "her vital signs remain stable. At the present time, she is resting and her general condition is fair," said Maj. George Foster, a spokesman for the U.S. Army Medical Center at nearby Ft. Gordon.

Foster said doctors believed that di-verticulosis of the intestine caused the bleeding. He said the condition was a protrusion of the mucous membrane through the colon wall.
