Nixon Declares War on Drugs WASHINGTON (UPI) Declaring all-out global war on the drug menace, President Nixon today proposed consoU-dation of all drug law enforcement powers under one super federal agency within the Justice Department. Nixon charged that fragmentation of the Federal bureaucracy allows to flourish the cold-blooded underworld networks that funnel narcotics from suppliers all over the world into the veins of American drug victims. In a reorganization plan submitted to Congress, Nixon urged creation of a new drug enforcement administration which would absorb all functions of the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs; investigative functions of the Bureau of Customs relating to antidrug enforcement; all functions1 of the Office for Drug Abuse Law Enforcement; and all functions of the Office of National Narcotics Intelligence.

Howard Hunt, who had pleaded guilty in the case, testified Tuesday before a resumed grand jury investigation of the Watergate incident and was to continue his testimony today. Sen. James L. Buckley, ordinarily a staunch Nixon supporter, said Tuesday it was time to disclose the whole truth about Watergate. I want to know what happened, he said.

The reports that have come out indicate less than whole-hearted cooperation by the administration, yet that kind of effort was promised. Herbert G. Klein, director of White House communications, said he believes the administration has told the whole truth on the subject. Two Republican Senators, Norris Cotton of New Hampshire and John Tower of Texas urged Nixon to change his mind and allow Dean to testify before the Judiciary Committee inquiry on the nomination of L. Patrick Gray to be permanent FBI director.

Silacci said. But in 1969 Miss Cruz compiled a portfolio of photographs as she began a modeling career that carried her into the San Francisco Bay area. It was while in the Bay area that she became involved with the Indian takeover of Alcatraz Island. According to Mrs. Silacci, the Alcatraz Indians were responsible for giving Miss Cruz the Indian name Sacheen Little-feather.

After one occasion in which Miss Cruz, 26, returned to Salinas briefly, Mrs. Silacci recalled Miss Cruz saying, She was going to help the Indians. I told her to keep in touch, but she didnt, Mrs. Silacci said. The photographer who com piled Miss Cruz modeling portfolio was Kenneth Cook of Cooks Photography.

Even then many of the photographs depicted Miss Cruz in Indian costumes. Mrs. Silacci claims Miss Cruz is part Hopi Indian, but others who know her locaUy say she is part Apache. I thought I recognized her on TV last night, Cook said. The last time I saw her was in 1969.
