Not everyone agrees with this paternalism. Some civil libertarians feel a man has the right to kill himself as he sees fit; it is part of our inherent liberty. The argument resembles similar questions of freedom preservation. Can the state, for instance, tell us to wear seat belts, don motorcycle helmet or submit to life-saving surgery against our wishes? They are difficult questions. But to counselors who work with the problems and ravages of alcoholism day in and day out lofty questions, despite their merits, sometimes shrivel away somehow when confronted with flesh and blood.

They would like to see an extension of the 34-hour detention. "We've known of a number of people who have died after leaving us.

They may have died anyway, of course. But we think we could have helped many of them." Thomson explained.

But petitioners only have to prove that an alcoholic is danger to himself or to others to win commitment (something not difficult to establish when, say, petitioner argues 'Isn't any alcoholic behind the wheel of a car a danger to himself and Nonetheless, social workers are reluctant to use this section of the '74 law.

Over the next 0 years, he served as a teacher and administrator in the school, following with his period of distinguished service in VA medicine. He served his country as a U.S. Army medical officer during both World Wars, attaining rank of colonel (World War 11, European Theater), and as personal adviser to the Surgeon General in the Korean conflict.

Characterized to a special degree by "human understanding, he comprehended and was able to convey to hundreds of others, including professional associates, students and persons the place of medicine in a broad, multifaceted society.

little progress at Helsinki in July. Now still more delays seem inevitable. The long- planned Washington summit, which was to have brought Leonid Brezhnev here this summer, has now slipped to the end of the year, Kissinger revealed in answer to one question. More important, his replies on the delicate SALT issue for the first time hinted on the public record that there are doubts the "two or three issues of great importance" upon which disagreement still exists will ever be settled. Kissinger said he will raise these issues, among others, with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrel Gromyko later this month during the regular United Nations General Assembly session.

Helms was being interrogated under oath by staff members of the 11-man Select Committee an Intelligence.

The committce itself postponed until Monday an executive session originally scheduled for today. Sen. Frank Church (D-Idaho) chairman of the panel, told news conference Tuesday that despite the order by then President Richard Nixon to destroy all stocks of bacteriological warfare concoctions, a small but highly lethal supply of toxins had been kept unguarded at a CIA location for five years. "The many he said. Church said the committee wants to find out who in the CIA gave the arder to defy the presidential order and hold on to two batches of toxins which were manufactured from cobra venom and from the distillation of decaying shell fish the latter concoction said to have no known antidote.

Reporters pressed Church on how much poison had been found and where. sick He declined to say where. On the amount, he referred reporters to a staff aide who said the two batches included 10.026 grams of shellfood toxin and eight milligrams of cobra venom. A pharmacologist told UPI that theoretically this could kill about 10.000 persons if broken down into minute doses and injected individually. A milttary source said he did not think the poisons could be classified bacteriological mass warefare weapons, which the United States and other countries have outlawed.

Kissinger says "two to three issues of great importance" still must be solved before President Ford and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev can conclude a new strategic arms accord later this year. At a news conference Tuesday, Kissinger said that both he and President Ford expect to meet with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko in the near future to narrow differences on these issues. Gromyko is arriving to attend the U.N.

Ford and Brezhnev agreed in principle in Viadivostok last November that the second U.S.-Soviet strategic arms agreement, known among diplomats as I1," would limit the United States and Soviet Union to a mix of 2,400 stramissiles and bombers each. Of those, 1,330 could be equipped with multiple warheads "We are now down to two or three isof great importance on which has not yet been reached but which, If were reached, the negotiation could be concluded within six to eight weeks after that." Kissinger said Tuesday. Administration and congressional sources report that the three remaining involve the problem of verifying whether the heavy Soviet 8818 missiles are equipped with multiple or single warheads, and the definition of certain strategic weapons: Specifically: Soviet SS18 missiles have been tested with both MIRV warheads and with single warheads, but they are difficult to distinguish from external appearances.

The United States wants to count each SS18 as carrying a multiple warhead. The Russians say this would be unfair since not every SS18 is so equipped. is disagreement whether the Soviet Tupolev swing- wing "Backfire" bomber is a strategic weapon or merely an aircraft designed for a regional European conflict.
