THE lPECTflUM

SPECTRUM OF OPINION EDITORIALS

.EAR MANDATE FOR SPEAKER SUCCESSION Some controversy has arisen as to who will be speaker

of the SSU Assembly this sumnet. 'Ihere is a clear man date from the Interim Governance Document oh succession: "ln the event the Speaker shall resign or be able to continue in office, the Deputy Speaker sha l l serve until a new Speaker is elected"

However, some have a hangup on that l a s t word "elected". One i n t e r ~ r e t a t i ~ . has been that the Deputy Speaker serve until a "special" election is called.

The problem with this is there is no provision for a special election in the governance document; and with clear succession of the Deputy to Speaker until the regular "annual election" (the ohly reference to elections .in the document), we feel th is point is invalid.

The Document s a y s the D e p t y Speaker will serve in the place of the s p e a k u if h e reslgns o r is unable to continue; and he will serve until a new speaker is elected, according to the document, when "(The Assembly shall ANNUALLY (next fall) e lect from its membership a Speaker". Th is is simple, and any other interpretation would b e obviously unconstitutional.

The present Deputy Speaker should become Speaker i n , the event of the resignation of th.e present Speaker, -and that is al l -no more, no less.

GAZETTE MIS-QUOTES GOVERNANCE DOC. W e were highly amused a t the attempts of the Sangamon

Gazette to "correct misinformed media" by mis-quoth g the Interim Governance Document.

Claiming that a special election had to b e called to name a new speaker after John Keiser's resignation the Gazette completely ignored the section stating succession to the Speaker's office a s outlined in the Document, Article II, section 11, Meetings. The l a s t sentence of the -section reads: "In the event the speaker shall resign or be unable to continue in office, the Deputy Speaker shall s e m e until a new speaker is elected".

Any talk about a special election at this time would be obviously uncm stitutiouaL Althougb th e Gazette quotes Article 11, Section 10 as . stating the speaker shall be elected by its (the assembly) membership, h e Gazette left out (inte&ionally?) the key word "snnual". The correct wording of the sentence is, ':The Assembly shal l annually elect from its membership a Speaker, a Deputy Speaker, a Secretary and a Treasurer."

And this line is the only other reference t o elections made in the Document .No special elections, no impeach- ment o r recall provisions, jus t a simple annual election and a simple succession clause. e

I t is indicitive of the shallowness of the Gazette's article that they were even unable to get right the reason John Keiser was resigning from the Assembly. He has been director of the Summer Session for some time. It was only his nomination to the post of Academic Vice-President that prompted h i s proposed resignation ftom the Assembly.

Ua fortunately, they have mixed fac t with .opinion, and in their hurry to gain attention, have twisted the truth worse than those they attack.

It is obvious that the editors of the G a z e a e are un&le to discern opinion from truth, unlike the disclaimer in their l a s t sentence. After s i x paragraphs of unbridled opinion, they state, *"Ibe function of the press is to present the facts in an unbiased manner in order that the reader may'form h i s own opin&ns (sic) of the truth."

W e have tried to separate our opinion from our news stories,. something the Gazette h a s never done ( s e e "Campus Calendar and Commentary"). T h e Trufh is sanethmg that is absolute and should not change with the vagaries of the reader's opinions. One doesn't have an opinion of the truth; one finds the truth and draws opinions on normative, sub- jective i s s u e s from this.

We have never claimed to te l l anyone how to think; but have simply presented the news, and our opinions separately, to inform the public a s much a s we can. ,If we have been subjective in our news,. this is mfortunate-but it is a l so human.

NSA TO BE A CONVENTION BOONDOGGLE As is everything a t SSU, the membership of SSU in the

National Student Assn. ( M A ) is becoming a political football.

All SSU students .are members of the NSA, and therefore have rights to d i scomts on records, books, car rental, and a multitude of other services. But we have heard nothing about the NSA from the SSU campus representative.

Perhaps the campus rep. has been too busy to adequately handle SSU's membership in the NSA. However, h e should' have known what was required when h e ran for the job.

We expect to hear a lot, about the NSA however, around July or August, when the big NSA Convention convenes in Colorado. Even though most students are unaware that SSU is even a member of NSA, we will be asked to send 2 or 3 representatives to the convention (a t a cost of $6-800-). Then you'll hear a lot about the NSA.

Membership in this group was first proposed s o that all students would benefit-not just the select few a t con- vention .time. We call for the campus rep. to make public and promote NSA services for all; and we offer the pages of THE SPECTRUM for this publicity. W e do not believe that h e , m J y .&IT dhad SW cakes part in of the NSA

The worM today and THE APOCALYPTICS

Back in 1960, a number of Americans observed two tiny dots on the horizon. In 1963, many saw the dots become horsemen approaching from afar. As the years went by, the horsemen, to the fear of all who were watching, came into full view. Americans every- where became very much aware of just WHO the horsemen were. The lead horseman, terrifyingly hideous to behold brandished the bloody sword of WAR! The second one, more solemn-but just a s FEARFUL to behold, with a well-exper- ienced arm-viciously swung the infamous s ickle of DEATH!

Behind them-(As of January 1970) Over 40,000 United States servicemen dea& . Over 300,000 United States servicemen wounded. Over 60,000 South Vietnamese servicemen d e a d Over '35,000 South Viemamese civilians either killed or kidnapped by the Viet Cong o r North Viemam Regulars. Over 300,000 N o d Vietnamese Regulars and VC dead. Hundreds of South Viemamese ci t ies and villages utterly destroyed. Several hundred No nh Viet- namese civiliad casultits. Untold thousands of South Viemamese casualties. Over $100 Billion of the U.S. treasury has been spent on Vietnam.

-And the deadly toll of these tm horsemen increase every. single day.

The toll in American char- acter and pride that this war h a s taken is incomprehensible. The United States will soon b e counted down and out-if this w& wntinues a s it h a s been for nine long years.

A lot of u s don't know why we're in Vietnam. , There are two camps of opinion existing a t this time, one of which states: "We a re aggressas in a civil war between two nation& The other camp states: "We are in Vietnam to s a v e South Vietnam (and the rest of the free world) from Communism."

POSTOFFICESERVICE OR BUSINESS. What is all of this utter crap about the P o s t Office needing

to "break even"? After a l l the U.S.P.O. is a government service. It should be no better or no worse than the U.S.D.A. or the I.C.C. or the Government Printing Office or the Trea- sury Department or the Internal Revenue Service or the Bureau of the Budget or N.A.S.A. or the Armed Services o r any of the myriad government service departments.

I can agree with the Pos t Office charging a nominal fee for mailing. .But trying to break even? C'moa now. , I t will never haepen.

I have heard people argue that it is only the largemailer that gets h u r t .The common folk, it is said, who only mail one or two letters a year before the Xmas rush won't get hurt. Hawgwash!!

T h e large mailer won't get hurt. If h e is a bulk mailer h e will merely raise his price 6 p a piece t o the people that h e malls tor. Or if he mails only h i s owii -stuff'h'e bnanll charge off the postage a s a cos t of promotion. T h e people who mail Second Class ra tes ... newspap ers, magazm es, trade jou mals , etc.. .will raise subscriptioa and/or advertising rates to com- pensate for increases in postage.

The guy who gets caught in the squeeze is the small to middlm' businessman who has to mail out bills, psyments m d checks, orders and inquiries. T h i s will i o m p r ~ s e the bulk of his mail. I t will now cost him -8% more to do that, portioa of his business. And, h e can't charge it off to anyone e l se in a direct way.

Actually, the postage increase will be reflected in in- creased prices. ,These will affect the suppliers of material and machinery for the U.S.P.O. 'Ihe goods and services bought for the use of Postal Employees will increase m price, making the Postal Employee's paycheck buy less. The employee will want more money and will strike, if nece ssary, to get i t And with the increased operating cos t s the break- even point will be even further. away. ,So, the powers that be will decree another postage increase, and another, and another ad nauseum.

I don't s e e that this postage increase was called b r at all. According to the OFFICIAL 1971 U.S. POST OFFICE DATA, 1st Class mail made 165.7% of its cost, Ainnail, 107.0% Second Class Mail-within the country 33.3% Second Class Mail -regular rate publications - 61.5% 3rd C l a s s M a i l - single piece rate - 119.075, 3rd C l a s s M a i l - bulk rate - regular - 179.5%.

It is fairly easy to s e e that the US.P.0. made money on everything but second c l a s s maiL And with the percentages or recovery (the ratio of income to total handling c o s t s incurred by the P o s t Office) being what they are I am sure that the P o s t Office has to be making money somewhere. Breakeven -- HAWGWASH!!

Add it up. T h e Pos t Office made, according to their own figures, in 1970, 65.8% on 1st Class Mail. 7% on Ailmail, up to 79.5% on so-called "junk maiL'.' You figure out who's getting the s h a f t (Ihe American Public.

According to fonner Postmaster General J. Edward Day. the champions of this big break even drive are and have been, "Chamber of Commerce groups, c o n s m a t i v e news- paper editorial writers and others whose enmity for the principles of public subsidy for the P o s t Office has been sold so well that the i r objection has, in many minds,been converted in something 'approaching the gospel' ".

Editorial:

SST DOWNED I N SPITE OF LOBBYISTS

The last-minute revival of the SST question h a s shown the power of the lobbyists and big-business interests over that of the people. Not content with spins along with the original wishes of congess , the SST proponents have forced another vote on this gigantic waste of taxpayers' dollars.

Government is usually called in to bail out mfeasable or unprofitable ventures - and the unwillingness of Boeing or the other major aircraft manufacturers to attempt mann- facture on theirown is a clear indication of the worthlessness of the SST project.

We believe that there is a c lea r conflict of priority here- between letting the rich get richer and helping the poor. We d o not believe that the U.S. can afford such an expen- s ive toy, when welfare and e d u c a ~ o n is being cut back.

And we applaud the efforts of P e p , P a u l Findley and Senator Charles Percy in again voting against the SST. In voting for the people, they have incurred the wrath of the big business block - and even the big business newspapers, l ike the daily city papers-

We believe &at if the dimes wadt the ST, they should build i t and pay for it themselves, not foist the bill off onto the people, who are tired of special interest groups getting special favors. ,The SST was downed once, and in spi te of the lobby power of the aircraft manufacturers, we hope it is do- to stay - which is what the people w a n t

Opium web entangles governments

beyond steaming jungle

By FRANK BROWNING and BANNING C.rkK6TT Copyrigl~t Ramparts, 197 1

(Reprinted by CPS with permission of publrshcr.)

(Third in a series) Madame Nhu and Premier Ky: Pushers

Both the complexity and the finality of the opium web which connects Burma, Thailand, Laos and South Vietnam stretch the imagination. So bizarre is the opium network and so pervasive the traffic that were it to appear in an Ian Fleming plot, we would pass it off as lorturing the credibility of thriller fiction. But the trade is real and the net has entangled governments beyond the steaming jungle of Indochina. In 1962, for instance, the 0piu.m smuggling scandal stunned the entire Canadian Parliament. It was in March of that year that Prime Minister Diefenbaker confirmed rumors that nine Canadian members of the immaculated United Nations Internatiofal Control Commission had been caught carrying opium from Vientiane to the international markets in Saigon on UN planes.

The route from Laos to Saigon has long been one of the well-established routes of the heroin-opium trade. In August 1967, a C 4 7 transport plane carrying two and a half tons of opium and some gold was forced down near Da Lat, South Vietnam, by American gunners when the pilot failed to identify himself. The plane and its precious cargo, reportedly owned by General Rathikoune's wife, were destined for a Chinese opium merchant and piloted by a former KMT pilot, L.G. Chao. Whatever their ownership, the dope-running planes usually land at Tan Son Nhut airbase, where they are met in a remote part of the airport with .the protection of airport police.

GI Trade

A considerable part of the opium and heroin remains in Saigon, where it is sold directly t o U.S. troops or distributed to U.S. bases throughout the Vietnamese countryside. One GI who returned to the States an addict was August Schultz. He's off the needle now, but how he got on is most revealing. Explaining that he was "completely straight, even a right-winger" before he went into the Army, August told Ramparts how he fell into the heroin trap: "It was a regular day last April (1970) and 1 just walked into this bunker and there were these guys shooting up. I said to them, 'What are you guys doing?' Believe it or not, I really didn't know. They explained it to me and asked me if I wanted t o try it. I said sure."

Probably a fifth of the men in his unit have at least tried junk, Schultz says. But the big thing, as his buddy Ronnie McSheffrey adds, was that most of the officers in his company, including the MP's, knew about it. McSheffrey saw MP's in his own division (6th Batallion, 3 1st Infantry, 9th Division) at Tan An shoot up, just as he says they saw him. He and his buddies even watched the unit's sergeant-majm receive payoffs at a nearby whorehouse where every kind of drug imaginable was available.

An article by Kansas City newpaperwoman Gloria Emerson inserted into the Congressional Record by Senator Stuart Symington on March 10 said: "In a brigade headquarter at Long Binh, there were reports that heroin use in the unit had risen to 20 per cent...'You can salute an officer with your right hand and take a "hit" of heroin in your left,' an enlisted man from New York told me... Along the 15-mile Bien Hoa. highway running north to Saigon from Long Binh, heroin can purchased at any of a dozen conspicuous places within a few minutes, and was by this reprter , for three dollars a vial."

~ d d t i n g glalnour to the labyrinthine intrigue of Vietnam's opium trade throughout the late 1950's and 60's was the famou$..?dadamq Nhu; the Dragon Lady of Saigon. MadamelNhu was in a position to be very likely coordinator fw the entire domestic opium trade in Vietnam; yet s a Weat is the power she-still wiclds from the palatidl eXlle in Paris that she has intimidated one Amerkan publisher and kept him

from publishing the story. In his book Mr. Pop, Don Schlanche, former editor of Horizon and former editor of the Saturday Evening Post, recounts the following interchange on the Plain of Jars during August 1960 between Edgar 'Pop' Buell-the Indiana farmer who left his home to work with the Meo tribespeople-and a local restauranteur:

... Buell drove with Alber (Foure) to Phong Savan and watched from the side of the airstrip as a modem twin-engined plane 'took on a huge load of opium. Beneath the wing, talking heatedly with the plane's Corsican pilot, was slender woman dressed in long white silk pants and aod'ai, the side-slit, high, necked gown of Vietnam. Her body was exquisitely formed, and her darkly beautiful face wore a clear expression of authority. Even Buell could see that she was Vietnamese, not Lao.

"Zat," said Foure, "is ze grande madame of opium from Saigon." Edgar never learned her name, but he recognized the unforgettable face and figure when the picture of an important South Vietnamese politician appeared months later in an American news magazine.

Though Schanchc's publisher, David McKay Co., refgsed to publish her name for fear of reprisals, the unforgettable face was that of Madame Nhu.

But Saigon's opium trade is not new. Its history stretches back t o 1949, when the French appointed former Vietnamese Emperor Bao Dai as chief of state. Bao Dai brought with him as chief of police Bay Vien, the undisputed leader of Saigon's criminal underground, which controlled not only the gambling and narcotics trade in Saigon but also the important Chinese suburb of Cholon. Bao Dai and Bay Vien held power until they were displaced after the 1954 Geneva Accords by Ngo Dinh Nhu, Diem's brother. Nhu had gained prominence in Vietnam as an organizer of a Catholic trade union movement modeled after the French .Force Ouvriere, which the CIA had helped supply in the 1'940's to break Franc's communist dockworkers' union, the CGT.

At first Nhu feigned support for Bay ~ i e i a n d Bao Dai, but by the end of 1955 he had taken control of the Saigon secret police and, thereby, the city's opium and heroin trade as well. Just as the Nhu's were consolidating their own power, a little-known figure entered the Diem military apparatus, a man who through the years would carefully extend his control over the air force and end up eventual heir not only to the South Vietnamese government but to the opium and heroin trade as well. That man was Nguyen Cao Ky, who had just returned from Algeria to take charge of the South Vietnames air transpont's C-47 cargo planes.

Ky's Involvement

At what particular point in time Ky became involved with the Nhu's in the opium trade is not known, but by the end of '50's he was cutting quite a figure in Saigon's elite circles. In an interview with Ramparts, retried Marine Corps Colonel (and author of the book Betrayal William Corson described Ky's life in the late 1950's in the following fashion: "Ky of course was a colonel in the Air Force back then and he used to have these glittering cocktail parties at the top of the Caravelle (Hotel) in Saigon. He laid out a fantastic spread, which was all very interesting because the amount of money he made as a soldier was maybe $25 to $30 a month and he didn't have any other outside income."

The first real light shed on the possible sources of Ky's extracurricular income came only in the spring of 1968, when Senator Ernest Gruening revealed that four years earlier Ky had been in the employ of the CIA'S "Operation Haylift," a program which flew South Vietnamese agents "into North Vietnam for the purpose of sabotage, such as blowing up railroads, bridges, etc." More important, Ky was fired, Gruening's sources claimed, for having been caught smuggling opium from Laos back into Saigon. Significantly, Ky and his flight crews were replaced by Nationalists Chinese Air Force pilots.

Neithef the CIA, the Pentagon, nor the State

Department ever denied Ky worked on Operation Haylift. Nor did they deny that he had smuggled opium back into Saigon. However, a U.S. embassy spokesman categorically denied Ky was ever fired from "any position by any element of the U.S. government for opium sumggling or for any other

reason. When Ky came to power in February, 1965, most observers supposed he had relinquished participation in the opium traffic (although it was "common knowledge" that Madame Ky had -aced Madame Nhu- as Saigon's Dragon Lady and dealt in opium directly with Prince Boun Oum in S o ~ t h e r n Laos. However, a high Saigon military official t o whom Ky at one time offered a place in the opium traffic, says Ky continued to carry loads ranging from 200 to 2000 kilos of opium from Pleiku to Saigon in the spring of 1965 after he had assumed power and after Operation Haylift had been discontinued. Those runs included regular pickups near Dak To, Kon Tun, and Pleiku. Since then there has been no indication that Ky has in any way altered the transport. Corson, who returned to Vietnam in 1965, observed that Ky's involvement in the trade had become so routine that i t had lost almost all its adventure and intrigue.

Gendcide and Heroin

With gross returns from the Indochina traffic running anywhere from $250 t o $500 million per year, opium is one of the kingpins of Southeast Asian commerce. Indochina has not always had such an enviable position. Historically most of the world's supply of opium and heroin came through well-established routes from Turkey, Iran and China. Then it was refined in chemical kitchens and warehouse factories in Marseille. The Mediterranean trade was controlled by the Corsican Mafia (which itself has long been related to such American crime lords as Lucky Luciano, who funneled a certain amount of dope into the black ghettoes). But high officials in .the narcotics control division of the Canadian government, and in Interpol, the International Police Agency, confirm that since World War 11-and paralleling U.S. expansion in the Pacific-there has been a major redirection in the sources and routing of the worldwide opium traffic.

According to the United Nations Commission on Drugs and Narcotics, since at least 1966, 80 percent of the world's 1200 tons of illicit opium has come from Southeast Asia-directly contradicting most official U.S. claims that the primary sources are Middle Eastern. In 1966, Interpol's former Secretary

, General Jean Nepote told investigators from Arthur D. Little Research Institute (then under contract t o the U.S. Government Crime Commission) that the Fertile Triangle was a principal production center of opium. And last year an Iranian government official told a United Nations seminar on narcotics control that 83 per cent of the world's illegal supply originated in the Fertile Triangle-the area where opium is controlled by the U.S.-supplied troops of Laos and Nationalist China.

I t is odd that the U.S. government, with the most massive intelligence apparatus in history, could miss this innovation. But though i t may seem to be an amazing oversight, what has happened is that Richard Nixon and the makers of America's Asian policy have completely blanked Indochina out of the world narcotics trade. Not even Joe Stalin's removal of Trotsky from the Russian history books parallels this historical reconstruction. In his recent State of the World address, Richard Nixon dealt directly with the international narcotics traffic. "Narcotics addiction has been spreading with pandemic virulence,' he said, adding that "this affliction is spreading rapidly and w i t h o u t t h e sl ightest respect for national boundaries." What is needed is "an integrated attack on the demand for (narcotics), the supply of them, and their movement across international borders...We have," he says, worked closely with a large number 01' governments, particularly Turkey, France and Mexico, to try to stop the illicit production and smuggling or narcgtics."

To be concluded next week.

REGENTS APPROVE SSU SCHEUERMAN TO LEA VE I5 SSU FOR OHIO VP POSITION GRADUATION PROGRAMS FOR W-R,.

The Smgsmca State University academic programs were approved today by the Board of Regents and submitted to the I l l imis Board of Higber Education for final approval that certifies degree-granting status.

T h e Regents a lso appmved SSU sdmission policies and graduation requirements.

SSU President Robert C Spencer said that if the higher board acted a t its July meeting, degree-granting status would come before the beginning of the second school year this falL

Dr. Franklin G. Mntsler, Executive Director of the Regents said that the SSU programs * h a v e been developed with the intent of making the university a truly innovative institutioa with a public affairs thrust, having a curriculum based on the liberal arts that is relevant to the needs of scciety today. "

'Ihe Regent's staff report recomm ending approval pointed ou t that the programs were the result of ;?O months of study and work by the staff and faculty of Sangamon State and is "consistent with the charge by the Roard of Higher Education m d the guidelines established by the Board of Regents."

'Ihe report added: "Although the degree programs will qaalify many individuals for entry into various occupations, additional p ~ ~ v i s i o a s for the 'bread and butter' career interests of a number of students hatre been made by the inclusion of the professional studies courses, whereby spec - if ic career preparation (teacher certification, etc.) may be obtained. "

The liberal arts-public affairs mission of Sangamon State is in l ine with master plmning of the Illinois Board of Higher Education a s approved by the G e n a a l Assembly. T h e university is limited to the B.A. and M.A. degrees and is not designed to be a comprehensive university such a s the University of Illinois with curriculum spanning virtually a l l fie1d.s

The SSU degree pmgrams include the B.A. and M.A. de- grees in the disciplinary areas of political science, econom- ics , hismry, literature, mathematics, political studies, psychology and sociology, and anthropology. The M.A. degree would b e awarded in the professional programs of community pIanning; guidance and counseling; and admini- stration--public, business and education.

Professional studies a t the mdergraduate level focus on four career fields: accounting, law enforcement and cdminal justice, management, and teacher preparation.

Mirroring the innovative thrust of Sangamon State are two prograns in which the B.A. and M.A. degrees will be awarded One is the University Program which combines studies in various disciplines centered on a public affairs theme of importance to contemporary society. Four programs were approved by the Regents: Communications in a Tech- nological Society; Environments and People; Justice and the Social Order, Work, Culture and Society. Also, students may construct from approved courses with appropriate faculty counsel the Individual Option desigped to meet particular needs of a s tudent The staff report praised the University Prag h as offering "evidence of innovation with its truly interdisciplinary n amre." Of the Individual Option, the report sa id it 'Yumishes the mature student with a o p p o r t unity to construct m individualized progrem suited to his needs. "

The Regents a lso approved a supporting curriculun which includes courses offered in the following disciplines: act, geography, music, philosophy, and speech, These programs are desigped to supplement the degree programs.

Eugene Schoenfeld, M. D.

DEAR DR. SCHOENFELD: Regarding stifling a sneeze:

! have found that with a l i t t le practice the desired results can b e achieved by applying finn pressure to the mof of the mouth with the tongue.

This technique is less conspicuous than applying pressure just below the n o s e

with a ' finger. Some sniffling increases the chance of suc- cess in either case.

G. J.P. DEAR D R SCHOENFELD:

1 think that pressure on the upper l ip s tops the sneeze because you're pressing oo the nerve that c a m e s the tickl- ing sensation fmm the inside of the nostrils - s o you inter-

supplied by different but closely related terminal branches of the second tri- geninal nerve. Maybe by press- ing hard on one branch you tie up the sunk line enough that i t can't conduct the tickle in both a t the same time.

Santa Barbara M.D. DEAR D R SCHOENFELD:

The other day my' girl . w

s n eezed during in tekourse and a simultaneous vaginal spasm occured which was strong enough to give me quite a j o l t She. hadn't previously been ab le to develop very s a n g vaginal contractions, even after trying exercises.

cannot elicit &re than a few sneezes a t one time and the process is s o distracting that we usually forget about making love.

Do you know of any lsafe way to keep these nerves stimulated? ANSWER: Vaginal muscles can and should b e strengthened by simple e x e r a s e s performed daily. , O n e exercise involves squeezing the muscles used to prevent involuntary urination. Another is done by veering down as if to expel stool fmm the bowel. ,This exercise should b e done twenty times, three times a day. If the strength applied m the exer- c ises is gradually but con- sistently increased, the re- sul ts should be apparent with- in two weeks. It 's not unusual

a continual s ta te of sneezing. Good thing too, otherwise the chorus of sneezes would be deafening. DEAR D R SGIOENFELD:

An average American auto-, mobile pmduces about s ix quarts of carbon monoxide per mile of travel. I can't help wondering if all that carbon monoxide in the air is helping to keep u s insane enough to keep on putting i t here.

Los Angeles M. D. ANSWER When carbon mon- oxide is inhaled, i t combines with blood hemoglobin m pre- vent nonnal transport o f

for a woman to learn m fla independently the circular and logitudinal m u s d e s en- circling the vagina (the same muscles are used to control the aaal and bladder spincters). Every woman (and her man) can benefit b m increasing vaginal tone. , The exercises are especially important fol- lowing gynecological surgery and child birth.

Female hay fever victims may view their affliction dif- ferently a s a result of your letter. But I don't think there's m y way to bring on voluntarily

loss. , Increased blood levels of the gas cause fainting, collapse, paralysis, uncon- skiousness and finally death.

.Unvented heaters frequently cause accidental carbon mon- oxide poisioning deaths. And automobile exhaust fumes are often inhaled voluntarily to produce successful sucides. Recently a San J o s e couple was forced to leave their home because of i l lness due to dense c a h n monoxide fumes arising from nearby heavy automobile traffic
