By Thorn Shanker Chicago Tribune WASHINGTON In an election-year crackdown on drug abuse, the House approved legislation Thursday that would stringently penalize drug smugglers, dealers and even recreational drug users. The Senate, also responding to public sentiment, is expected to pass an equally harsh antidrug package next week. A House-Senate conference will probably be needed to resolve differences the first harsh federal penalties for even occasional drug users. A civil fine of up to $10,000 could be imposed against a person caught possessing small amounts of controlled substances, including marijuana, even if the person never is convicted of a criminal violation. Repeat drug offenders could forfeit student loans, as well as federal benefits such as public housing and certain veterans payments.

Under an amendment passed Thursday aimed at keeping teenagers off drugs, states would receive additional federal highway money for revoking the driving licenses of people convicted of drug-related offenses.

The bill also requires federal See Drugs, pg. 8 "clean up" the bill in conference.

Only a handful of congressmen were expected to vote against the bill, but 30 did so; 375 voted in favor. Opponents were Democrats with strong civil libertarian or generally liberal viewpoints. The bill would add $2.1 billion to the $3.9 billion already earmarked for federal drug enforcement in fiscal 1989. It would set and deal with provisions some critics call unconstitutional.

Like townspeople who hear a fast gun is headed their way, the Dukakis campaigners met late into the night Wednesday (and some of Thursday morning) at their headquarters at 105 Moscow Black Chauncy in a seedy pocket of downtown Boston.

A few weeks ago, Bush had flown in and politically thumped Dukakis about pollution in Boston Harbor. Bush also had, by most accounts, won a campaign See Dukakis, pg. 4 CHICAGO AND VICINITY: Friday: Partly sunny, less humid; high 73 degrees.

The move came as tensions remained high in Armenia and in the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh where the people, mainly ethnic Armenians, have demanded that the enclave be removed from the Azerbaijani republic and joined to Armenia. Radio Moscow reported that although Nagorno-Karabakh and its capital of Stepanakert had been scaled off by troops and under a state of emergency that included a dusk-to-dawn curfew, protesters attacked the office of the public prosecutor.
