Boston Evening Globe Friday, October 3, 1971 US opens new attack on foreign suppliers of heroin Ask the Globe tor of the agency within the Justice Department told a group of newsmen participating -in a conference -on crime and justice yesterday. The conference is sponsored by the -Washington Journalism Center and has devoted much of its time to the problem of drug supply and addiction in this country, Other officials have pointed to the need of stemming the supply of heroin in France where it is produced in jf 4v I v- it niques on sniffing devices to locate laboratories," Finlator said. "We have a scientific unit in our bureau and we have a number of contracts out to find out how to sniff out drugs." A Washington source close to the government's effort to crack down on laboratories in France which produce heroin explained that the CIA is among the agencies cooperating with the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs and that actual destruction of some labs and clandestine opera- tions is not beyond possibility. There is a feeling in Washington that France is not doing all it can to track down the laboratories and cooperate with, American officials alarmed over the tremendous increase in the shipment of heroin into this country. Rep.

Claude Pepper of Florida, chairman of the House Crime Committee, has said there hasn't been a raid on a heroin laboratory in France for three years. Finlator. agreed with him but pointed out that investigatory methods are different in France than in this country. He said here the narcotics agent, whom he described as "a different cat," uses intelligence, undercover personnel and money to track down sources of heroin. Finlator said he has seen an improvement in France's cooperation, but several other countries, which he declined to identify, are not helping the situation.

Government officials have listed them as Afghanistan, Burma, Laos and Thailand. Some Latin American countries, including Peru and Colombia, also have contributed to the problem in this country by failing to crack down on heroin producers and suppliers. The US government has loaned Turkey $3 million to help eliminate its poppy fields by 1972 and Mexico has received $1 million in United States aid, some of it in the form of helicopters and equipment to combat heroin suppliers. Finlator said the heroin problem grew in the last decade when this country was able to send a man to the Moon and back, but was unable to solve its own drug problem. He said there are more illicit drugs on the market now than ever before.

"I believe we're 10 years behind the trafficker and user," he said. How will the US catch up? By using the full resources of the various agencies, seeking the cooperation of foreign' countries and developing scientific instruments to track the stuff at its source, according to Finlator. By Connolly, Globe Staff WASHINGTON The number two man in the US Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs says his agency has launched a bold, new attack on the foreign source and supply of heroin and will employ scientific tactics still under development. "We're going to get bolder and bolder," John Finlator, deputy direc US seeking witness from Medford Globe Staff WASHINGTON Federal mar- shalls today sought a missing Med- ford, man who failed to appear yesterday before a Senate committee probing organized crime infiltration of business. The Commerce Committee had issued a- subpoena for William Pieroni of Warren street, but he vanished before deputy US marshals could serve it.

His wife said today she was concerned about his safety. She said her husband, a salesman, left on a business trip last Friday and she hasn't heard from him since. Pieroni was supposed to testify before the committee about his reported involvement with several members-of the Boston underworld, among them a convicted bookie. Investigators want to ask him why members of the Boston mob invested in his former company, Pieroni Foods of Somerville, which made Italian food products. They also would like to know about reported attempts by the mob to push his products into the JJew Jersey market, in collaboration with underworld figures there.

Committee probers have been working in the Boston area on this and other matters to determine the extent of infiltration by the underworld into legitimate businesses. Officials of the A food chain have testified that members of the New Jersey mob tried to pressure the company into marketing an inferior detergent. A wave of firebombings and at least one murder followed the firm's refusal to knuckle under. Mrs. Pieroni said today she thinks that "for some reason" her husband may have been advised not to testify.

"I feel this is foolish because he has nothing to hide," she said. Rogers, Riad Globe Wire Services NEW YORK There has been some movement toward reaching an interim agreement in the Middle East, US officials maintained Friday. The officials reported what they said was an encouraging development following a lengthy meeting between US Secretary of State William P. Rogers and Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad. According to the American officials, the movement toward an agreement is at this moment largely in a sense of attitude.

They explained this sense re-' suited from clarifications of attitudes on both the part of Rogers and Riad. Following today's talks, the officials said, Riad now understands "I assure you," he said, "it is our number one priority to solve the heroin problem." Law enforcement officials have estimated that at least one-half of those who enter the District of Columbia jail, for example, are heroin users. About 3500 heroin addicts are under treatment in this city. Sixty-seven percent are under 26 years old. Finlator said the US program abroad will involve the "good, friendly persuasion" of American ambassadors in attempts to win coop-eration from countries contributing 4 to the problem in this country.

"Though we're catching more today, we're getting more illegal drugs on the marketplace than ever before," Finlator reported. His agency has 2700 employees. Between 1700 and 1800 are agents who are finding their jobs more dangerous than ever 95 percent of those arrested are armed, four agents were shot in a recent week and agents shot eight other persons in another recent week. One hundred and twenty-five agents work overseas and the agency has men in a total of 111 cities throughout the world. It is "crazy" for anyone to think that the problem can be eliminated, according to Finlator.

The best the government can hope to do because the problem is so widespread is to reduce it to a tolerable level, he said. "If you're going to try to stop it, forget it," Finlator advised. He said he is encouraged by indications that the drug scene may be diminishing with the emergence of the present generation of youth. "There's something here other than heroin," he said. "The kids are beginning to say, 'turn off with drugs and turn on with He said Elvis Presley is number one, in record sales again, that Presley urges youth to use music rather than drugs and disc jockeys have told him (Finlator) that, youth is changing.

"Acid rock and hard rock are lout," Finlator observed. "The word is love and soul music and ballads and religion." It is encouraging, he noted, that popular music includes "Oh Happy Day," "Jesus Christ, Superstar," and "Put Your Hand in the Hand." "Two years ago," Finlator said, "these songs would not have made it." Judge William T. Sweigert postponed from today to Oct. 15 a hearing to convert Williams' 10-day temporary restraining order into an injunction for an 80-day cooling-off period under terms of Taft-Hartley Act. In granting his restraining order, Williams, a recent Nixon appointee, said the strike was threatening the "national health and safety" and was having a "devastating effect" on the nation's economy.

The Pacific Maritime Association, representing 120 employers, said 249 ships were tied up in 24 ports. Estimates of how long it would take to clear the cargo varied from a month to six weeks. Bridges noted that work will be done under terms of the five-day contract that expired June 30, including the "freight station container agreement," a separate accord under which the PMA gave the ILWU jurisdiction over containerized operations. The Teamsters union also seeks jurisdiction over this work, and the PMA's refusal to renew the container agreement with the longshoremen's union was a key issue in the strike.

For a year I have been on leave of absence from my job. I have sent my premium payments directly to the insurance company, $111.33 every three months. In June I presented my card to both the hospital and the doc- tor when my husband was admitted, for treatment I found that I had to pay a balance of the bill when I thought I had complete coverage.

A major portion of the $2 million loss Blue Cross experienced during the first half of 1971 occurred the non-group category. The premium would be too high.

The company is not ruling out i the possibility of developing pro- grams which will provide greater protection for non-group members in such a way that prohibitive rates will not result.

Also going into its second week today was a soft coal strike by more than 100,000 members of the United Mine Workers as negotiations continued in Washington, D.C. The West Coast strike, the longest walkout on Pacific docks in history, has cost an estimated $1.7 billion since it began July 1.

Losses in the East Coast and Gulf walkouts are estimated at $17 million daily. Bridges, president of the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, sent telegrams to all 28 Pacific locals between the Mexican and Canadian borders, telling them to instruct their men to return to work with the first shift Sat-' urday.

Among specific goals discussed were the future of the Middle East cease-fire and the exact relationship of an interim agreement on reopening the Suez Canal to an overall negotiated peace settlement in the Middle East.

Egypt is concerned that a partial settlement might become permanent, forever delaying a final peace settlement between Cairo and the Israelis. The United States, with some objection from Israel, has been insisting that any partial settlement would be only a step towards an overall agreement.
