Also in Texas, a spokesman deserted areas made to order for air smuggling, state agents guess that three tons of mari- juana are arriving by air each week, along with several pounds of cocaine and heroin. Despite beefed-up antis-muggling measures at the Mexican border, authorities in Ari zona, New Mexico and Texas admit the odds are stacked against them in the air war. Arizona Public Safety Agent Lt. Dennis Dierking was recently quoted as saying it would literally take an army to control air smuggling across the state's 372-mile border.

Like most Southwestern states, Arizona has countless small landing fields and strips well away from populated areas. William F. Hughes, a special U.S. Customs agent in San Antonio, said, "We know quite a bit of it is getting through. The amount of being made is LOS ANGELES (AP) The young Canadian who came to the airfield and asked to rent a six-place airplane said he was making a business trip to Ne vada.

The field owner checked him out he was an able pilot and his record was clean, Next thing the owner heard, the plane had smacked into mountain near Barstow, Calif. The pilot was dead, and scat tered among the debris was 880 pounds of Mexican marijuana. Another smuggler was out of business, but the field owner had lost a brand new airplane. "These smugglers are bringing weed over the border like they were hay farmers," he fumed. Although the over-all picture is very hard to gauge, it appears narcotics agents are hardly putting a dent, in the smuggling by air of marijuana.

Officials can make estimates only on the basis of what they catch. In Nevada; with its vast Health?"

"It's just like setting up a roadblock for cars with defec tive brakes," said State Police Chief Martin Vigil of New Mexico. "In a couple of days every body knows about it and they go around it." Undoubtedly the best weapon antismuggling officials have is the aid of informers. The public, too, has contributed many tips that have re sulted in arrests. Madera Coun ty. Sheriff Ed Bates said sev eral smuggling Tings in Central California have been broken be cause of "bits of information about' an airplane landing at strange hours, refueling from gas cans or meeting a pickup truck." A number of enforcement agencies in Southern California have pooled such information as well as money to pay in formers in an organization called the Narcotics Intelligence Network.

Cooperation is not always the case, however. New Mexico Attv. Gen. David Norvell said recently that the antismuggling effort was being hampered by a lack of communication at the federal, state and county levels." How profitable is the smuggl ing by air? B.J. Cochran a U.S.

Customs agent at Laredo. says a Cherogee Six, capable of haul ing 500 to 600 pounds of mari juana, can be rented for about SCO an hour. "With an investment of mavbe $200 for rental," he said, "they can pick up several thousand dollars worth ot con traband with relative safety."

Main Pitkin Sis. EAST HARTFORD 289-8649 Narcotics officers said that where organized smuggling rings are involved they usually consist of four to eight persons to finance, oversee, pilot the plane and make delivery for distribution, across the country, Groups average from one to two trips a month into Mexico to one ring's ambitious two and three trips per week. Each movement is planned precisely "like a general would plan a campaign," one narcot ics agent said. "borne suppliers Mexico run their' businesses like a su permarket. One supplier has his own landing strip and buy ers must wait line to obtain marijuana," a California state narcotics agent said.

Although some smugglers fly their own planes it is believed, most work through rental agencies. 'If a guy has to use his own piece of machinery, he's going to become known." one observer said. Although federal agencies have put small air force into the year-old U.S. Cusr toms Air Interdiction Program has only begun to cut into the traffic. A Customs spokesman in Washington said the program has resulted in the seizure of 9,000 pounds of marijuana, 12 pounds of heroin and cocaine and a pound of amphetamines and opium this year a tiny amount compared with esti mates of what is getting through.

Federal officials are natural ly uncommunicative about the "sophisticated sensor devices and high-speed aircraft" with which they are monitoring the border. The Customs spokes man did say that at least 27 airplanes and six helicopters have been committed to the ef fort. Radar, both airborne and in ground installations, is used to pick up planes crossing the bor der at suspicious times or places, but often a wily pilot can sneak undetected through Perm Central To Consolidate Two Stations NEW YORK (AP) A con solidated Mount Vernon station will replace the Prospect Ave nue and Columbus; Avenue (Sta tions of the PennJJentral Railroad's New Haven line Wedfles- dav.

WASHINGTON (AP) Legislation which would hold local television stations responsible, when their licenses are up for renewal, for the taste and balance of network news and entertainment programs they carry has been drafted by the Nixon administration.

In the first response from a network, NBC said the proposal "seems to be another attempt to drive a wedge between TV stations and networks. "This is regrettable because the ability of our broadcasting system to expand its service to the public depends on a continuation of a close and coopera-i tive association of networks and stations, particularly in the area of news and information without governmental inter- NEEDLE DOCTOR FREE SERVICE DETAILS CAU BELMONT RECORD SHOP 522-2209 I wBssmar for the State Department of Public Safety, said: "Nobody knew how extensive such smuggling operations are because Texas' border (with Mexico) is so long (an estimatel miles). There are probably hundreds of unmarked landing strips on both sides of the Rio Grande River." In the past two years, he said, the, department has seized four aircraft and more than 000 pounds of marijuana, plus other drugs. Most authorities feel organ ized crime in the Mafia sense is not involved in the drugs-by-air business. Rather, they believe, small groups or individuals "soldiers of for tune types" are at work in the field.

In California, a state narcot ics agent who asked not to be identified said authorities are Communications Commission, to "show that he has afforded reasonable, realistic and prac tical opportunities for the pre sentation and discussion of con flicting views on controversial issues. The draft bill is understood to be in the Office of Management and Budget. Sources said it remains subject to revision, but Whitehead's public discussion made it likely it will be offered to Congress next year. Many station executives de clmed to comment, a few ex pressed puzzlement, and others were highly critical, Greatest Threat "That proposed legislation marks what I consider the greatest threat that has ever been launched against freedom of the press and the First Amendment in this country," said Art Kent, news director for KCPX-TV in Salt Lake City. "Newsmen certainly don't have any monopoly on the truth but neither does the White House.

It is obvious from that statement that the White House is trying to get at the network news organizations through the local stations "It's just the latest and most glaring example of the Nixon administration's attempt Ito control the flow of and eliminate criticism of its policies." Bill Osterhaus, station manager for CBS affiliate KPIX in San Francisco, said the proposal "sounds like a fascinating way to deny a station its li cense if it doesn please tne government view of how news should be "It doesn't make a lot of sense to me," commented Mike Shapiro, vice president and general manager of WFAA TV and radio in Dallas. "The stations already are held responsible for what they broadcast I don't understand the need for this new require ment. 1 i 3 Wo i I 8:30 p.m. ABC Theater Ch. 5B, 6, 8, 40 "If You Give a Dance You Gotta Pay the Band."

Other industry representatives willing to comment said variously, that the proposal makes no sense because they already are accountable under the law, that it is a roundabout way of getting at the networks, and that it is a serious threat to First Amendment guarantees. Clay T.

Whitehead, director of the White House Office of Telecommunications Policy, disclosed the draft bill in a speech to an Indianapolis meeting of the professional journalism society, Sigma Delta Chi. Not Vindictive Whitehead, the ranking White House officials in the broadcast field, said in an interview prior to the speech that the legisla tion is not meant as a vindic tive attack on the networks.
