Russ get glimpse of U.S. life IflODdUUtii.K rj-aoaaoD 0 viet Union under a mutual agreement on cultural exchanges. An exhibit of Russian folk art opened in Washington Jan. 12 and will go to five other cities. One of the most popular items at the exhibit has been a 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark HI.

Every day Georgians have swarmed around the car, peering under its hood and feeling the red leather upholstery. "Somebody must have been electric wafflemaker at my stand," said Cathy McCallick, 26. of Santa Monica, Calif. "A little Jewish man asked me if I could make matzoth on it and if we have matzoth in America. "I told him there are a lot of Jewish restaurants and delicatessens where you can get matzoth, bagels, lox, all sorts of things." She said the man told her matzoth-making is viewed as a religious rite in the Soviet Union and requires a license.

Ml the question has come up several times: it true you're going to raffle off the Lincoln Continental? Is it true that the millionth person who walks through here will win the Lincoln Continental'?" The guides said that besides cars the Georgians seem most interested in housing, clothing, health services, freedom to travel abroad, food, comparative prices and entertainment. "I was demonstrating an gineer from Washington and one of the older guides. "They want to know how much everything costs." Most of the guides are in the early or mid-20s. Many of them studied the Russian language and Soviet affairs in college and view their visit to the Soviet Union as a learning experience. Other guides have Russian parents and learned the language at home.

Frank Shakespeare, director of the U.S. Information Agency who officially opened the exhibit, praised the guides as the exhibit's "human element" and an ideal way to establish people-to-people contact with the Soviets. This group of guides will stay with the exhibit for six months while it tours three Soviet cities Tbilisi, Moscow and Volgograd. Another group will relieve them for the second six-month period and the final three cities Kazan, Dometsk and Leningrad. The exhibit came to the So TBILISI, U.S.S.R.

(AP) -Twenty-three young Americans, all of whom speak Russian, have begun a six-month visit to the Soviet Union to try to show how people live in the United States. They are guides at a U.S. exhibit called "Research and Development U.S.A.", a display of American gadgetry ranging from computers to coffeema-kers which opened in this capital of Soviet Georgia Jan. 24. The guides are assigned to the exhibit to explain how the equipment works and what it's used for.

But they have had to field questions on such varied topics as the Vietnam war, current American rock groups and the planned world championship chess match between American Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union. "The most common question concerns the purchasing power of the American worker," said Al Estrin, 35, an industrial en spreading a rumor," said Grigorovich-Barsky, "because No City Council meeting Monday There will be no meeting of the Billings City Council Monday night.

break in the draft since the end of the Korean War. About 10,000 men were recruited in the final quarter October, November and Decemberof 1971 to close out the year. In 1971, 94,000 men were drafted compared with a Vietnam War high of 384,000 in 1966. Laird said it was impossible to project the final draft call for this year. The secretary said it was decided to cut back on the draft because substantial pay increases effective Jan.

WASHINGTON (UPI) -Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird, gearing the U.S. military for a worldwide all-volunteer force, said Sunday there will be no Army draft calls during February and March. "We're moving in the direction of an all-volunteer force worldwide during this first quarter of the year," Laird said, noting that there also was no Selective Service call during January.

Laird made his remarks on ABC's "Issues and Answers."

Right now, according to reliable statistics, hundreds of thousands of teenagers and even grammar school students are experimenting with dangerous illicit drugs.

The more sophisticated, influenced by unscrupulous "drug pushers," are being told to speed up the drug effects by "mainlining," which is the injection of forbidden drugs directly into the veins. Because of lack of precautions for the proper sterilization of the medicine droppers, hypodermic needles and other crude methods used, "mainliners" are suffering hepatitis, septicemia, tetanus and acute endocarditis. Any of these can be deadly. The next issue of Drug Abuse News will discuss our conclusions about Drug Abuse and reasons why experimenters with illicit drugs are most unwise.
