Muprfi (UM.) MIy Riiduy, Oct. Possibility of 'deal 7 hinted on strike force By LARRY CALLOWAY Associated Press Writer SANTA FE (AP) Until he took up the banner of Gov. Jerry Apodaca in the Atty. Gen. Toney proposal of a narcotics strike force was dying for lack of the support.

The proposal is beginning to show signs of revival. Anaya and the spokesman deny there was a tradeoff. But they acknowledge the strike force was discussed last Thursday when Apodaca and Anaya met personally for the first time in months to discuss the highway matter. news secretary Richard de Uriarte said it was a coincidence of the attorney general the opportunity of the meeting to lobby for the strike force. Anaya said, discussing it, the governor showed an interest in meeting with me further to see if my concept could be concept is to combine prosecutors and law enforcement investigators in a unit that targets the big drug dealers and goes after them.

As he explained in an Oct. 3 speech to a crime conference in El Paso: unit must have the freedom to make cases against the big smugglers, not just take cases as they arise when a snitch needs help or a plane crashes with a load of The nucleus of the strike force would Colonels draw Nellis AB posts (Continued from Page 1) and in some instances, not completing all their training runs. Such training, known as bombing, is done both by visual target bombing and use of radar. In this training system, radar information is used to put the plane on the right slant for the bomb'run. Col.

Strand said, were having problems with the system. The radars needed to be pulled out and calibrated to a higher degree of efficiency. With the 49th going twice to missions at Nellis AFB last year, and two months effectively going into that crammed 12 months of home base target training into eight months of effective in Nevada is carried out under combat conditions with USAF fighters engaging units as close to potential enemy aircraft as possible. is an annual participation in NATO exercises in Europe. The 49th has been a dual-based wing, with the F-4D fighters and remains so until the two remaining squadrons are shifted to other bases.

The F-4s are being replaced with the new F-15 fighters. Use of radar for such training is to increase efficiency of navigators and pilots to on for bombing the target, and training in flying combat inissioas in weather conditions, or almost so. Concern had been expressed by junior officers that efficiency was not at the level it should be. Emergency procedures examinations, weapons scoring, the instrument flying and proficiency tests all were in question. Col.

Strand said pulling radar out and getting it up to calibration had presented a time problem, and had not been done, but the job needis to be done. He stated that air-to-ground strafing or bombing is not the primary function of although it is part of the training program, and training should be carried out faithfully and accurate records kept. Col. Strand said F-llls and A-12s are more suited to air-to-ground combat, and use of the radar guidance system which feeds slant information into computers, and they would be the first planes to go into action in zero weather conditions. if the situation should demand, the F-4Ds would be used, and rightly so; and their pilots and navigators should be trained to the highest point of The headquarters tactical training commander is convinced the reported falsification of records and cribbing has not affected the overall combat readiness of the 49th to a great degree, that this is only one small facet of training and preparedness.

He is of the opinion that 49th TFW personnel is much better trained five times better than those who went into combat in Southeast Asia in 1967; that the 49th is the best wing in the Tactical AirCouunand. Obviously, he is concerned about the effect of such an incident. Col. Jack Gee has been named 49th TFW vice commander. Lt.

If you look for a minute you can see through them, but sometimes too Matteson said. He said worried that a child or a bicycle rider might be in a relatively blind spot of the vehicle and the driver might not have enough time to concentrate on seeing the person before an accident happened. are no statistics on how often a decal causes an accident, but we know a Matteson said. The window decorations also are a problem for the police in that they cannot easily see who is in a car or what he is doing when they stop a car on the highway, Matteson said. Matteson said anyone with a question about any window decoration in their vehicles may ask a state patrolman about it or go to the State Police headquarters in the state office building.

be two aggressive attorneys and an accountant working out of the attorney office with state police investigators. Local police would be brought into action as needed. In June, according to documents provided by the attorney office, Anaya began a campaign to hitch his strike force to the $1.1 million federally funded Quad State Narcotics Organized Crime Project. This is where the governor came into the picture. The project is basically an intelligence network involving agents in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah and a computer in Tucson, Ariz.

New share of funds from the federal Law Enforcement Assistance Administration is $250,000. Anaya proposed about $65,000 of the New Mexico quad state share could go to his office to hire the two attorneys, accountant and a secretary. The governor rejected proposal to amend the quad state grant application for this purpose. The application is through the Criminal Justice Planning Council, headed by Charles Becknell. But as a result of the meeting last week, de Uriarte said, is a possibility that going to be a meeting and we may rework some aspects of the grant, depending on the presentation the attorney general and Martin Vigil make to the De Uriarte, who attended the Anaya- Apodaca meeting, said the attorney general did some explaining about El Paso which had caused the governor some grief.

In the Oct. 3 speech, released to news media, Anaya told law enforcement officials from around the Southwest about his strike force concept and then said it had been thwarted. De Uriarte said Anaya explained to the governor his meaning was simply Mexico been doing Wailing Wall (Continued from Page 1) future.
