Park Site The Madison Gas and Electric Co. (MGE) Wednesday was granted permission by the Wisconsin Public Service Commission (PSC)- to go ahead with plans for a nuclear-generated power system. The system will supply Madison with its first nuclear-gener ated electricity. The electric utility was granted permission to build two substations and transmission lines to Madison's city night there is a virtually end less range of perspectives on the "drug problem." For hours the 12-member committee heard testimony, sometimes stunning and often divergent, from former heroin addict, two judges, a minister, an assistant district attorney, the chairman of a private citizens group studying drugs, and a staff member of the University of Wisconsin Drug Information Center. what emerged was confusing enough to prompt com mittee members to discuss the need of "getting together to figure out where we're going." Wednesday night's meeting was the second of several planned this month to hear from those who in one way or another are affected by the illegal use of drugs.

The committee's goal is to propose a program for dealing with drug abuse. ABOUT THE only specific thing which all who have spoken to the committee agree on is the illegal use of drugs is rapidly growing in Madison and Dane County. "There is a wide variety of statistics floating around about the extent of the problem," said Omer Jones, 846 Terry chairman of a private citizens group formed two years ago to study the "And," Jones said, "there is a great variety in the degree of reliability of those statistics." HIS COMMENTS underscored other testimony which points to the fact that there appears to be no valid measure of how big the problem is or precisely whom it affects. Jones said "the overriding need at this point is for coordination and cooperation among the a i agencies dealing with the situation. The oppor tunity to solve problems will not be done by various groups vying with each other." THE COMMENTS which caused the most stirring among committee members came from Stuart A.

Dym, 1402 Northport of the UW Drug Information Center. Dym said "heroin does not itself affect the body adversely." He later said he would like to see heroin suppliers dealt with severely explain ing that he felt the evils of heroin are those created in a society where its use is illegal. He referred to the fact that addicts often are forced into iives of crime to support their habit and are subject to many health dangers because their injections are not medically supervised. DR. RALPH D.

Froelich, 20 S. Park a psychiatrist and also acommittee member, said after the hearing he did not completely agree with Dym's remarks on heroin, but added, "there's some truth in what he says." Dr. Froelich said there are doctors who illegally have lived "for decades" on morphine, from which heroin is derived, yet still have functioned normally.

Dyke said the combination of the two units is made "in recognition of the metropolitan nature of the drug problem." EMERY SAID, "We've found our paths crossins in the en forcement effort because the extent of the drug problem has no consideration for municipal boundaries.

Efficiency should be greatly improved." He said the unit would be headed by Lt. McFarlane because the focal point for drug problems is in Madison. Leslie said the coordinated approach would "be a big step forward toward getting rid of narcotics throughout the county." DYKE SAID the combined approach is part of a "phased step in an overall effort to combat drug abuse." He stressed, "We can't expect to control the problem solely with enforcement, although that is a major aspect." He said there is a need for development an "overall system" involving the judiciary, police, and drug treatment centers. Picked said the site was a hillside on U.S. Landmark site.

He said a serious aspect of alcohol consumption is that drink is a powerful anesthetic and persons under its influence tend to injure themselves seriously without knowing it. "ONE OF the most frustrat ing things I see as a family physician is that every day in my office I see alcoholics developing before my eyes and there's nothing I can do about it." Dr. Washburn continued. He termed alcholoism a "very sneaky, devious illness that 'presents itself in many form's."

SPEAKERS AT the meeting the need for peaceful protest and said no attempt should be made to prevent Laird from speaking. Several said they feared that the purpose of Laird's visit was to provoke a confrontation.

Instead, the protest will be linked to demands that the UW 'sever all its ties with the mili- tary.

psychiatrist, Dr. Gilbert Ty- bring, who said there are a min imum of 100,000 alcoholics in Wisconsiin. "Each of these seriously affects the lives of an average of four other persons," he noted. DR. TYBRING warned against attaching labels to alcoholics.

"Many persons can't talk about an alcoholic; they have to talk about a no-good alcoholic and attaching that kind of label to the disease makes it all the harder for an individual to seek help or for his family to admit he is ill." The Madison Churches Act on Alcoholism program will proba bly be the most ecumenical in the city's history. Churches ranging from Roman Catholic to Fundamentalist have endorsed the pro gram enthusiastically and will cooperate with congregations of other denominations. The hoped-for result of the program is that many Madison residents will see alcoholism as a disease and will see symp toms of that disease in their own lives and seek help. 1 1 IVQyOT rraiSGS Churches' Action Mayor William D.

"Let's hope this is the first big step in our efforts to control this problem," Dyke said. The mayor was joined at his weekly news conference by Charles W. Anderson, director of the Fund for Action on holism, the Rev.

R. D. Robin- son, executive director of the! Community of Churches, and the Rev. Joseph P. Higgins, chancellor of the Madison Catholic Dioceses.

Anderson said the public meetings scheduled throughout the city will "provide every citi-l zen an opportunity to learn' something about alcoholism and how to combat it." He said, "To the best of my knowledge there never has been a program of this magnitude in ary community of any size." Dyke Names January Jobs for Vets Month Mayor William D.
