Nixon requests
stijjer drug law
WASHINGTON President Nixon told
Congress Thursday he wants stiff new
penalties against illicit drug dealers,
including mandatory minimum sentences
for fmst offenders and higher maximums
across the board.
"While our enforcement efforts are
proving effective in finding drug traffickers,"
the President said in a message to the House
and Senate, "our system of criminal justice is
not as effective in dealing with them after
they are arrested."
Nixon said he would submit to Congress
in the near future a legislative package
calling for a minimum federal sentence of
three years, and a maximum of 15 years, for
a first offense of dealing in narcotics. A
second offense would carry a penalty of 10 to
30 years.
The maximum penalty for dealing in other
dangerous drugs would be increased from
five years to 10 for a first offense, and from
10 years to 15 for a second offense. Second
offenders would be subject to a minimum of
three years.
A Drug Enforcement Administration
spokesman said under the 1970 law there is
no minimum or mandatory sentence for
either first or second offenders. This law
carries a maximum 15 years imprisonment
for the first offense and 30 for the second in
trafficking in major drugs.

he wanted to discuss a news story.
FBI agents reportedly were searching for a
white man driving a green Ford Torino who
was seen leaving the quiet Emory University
residential section where Murphy lived with
his wife, Virginia, and their two teen-age
daughters.
At 9: IS p.m., 1 hour and 45 minutes after
Murphy apparently was abducted, the first
of three phone calls came through from a
group identifying itself as the "revolutionary
threatened to hold Hearst as a hostage for
two members of their group held in San
Quentin Prison.
A family spokesman said the latest
communique from the terrorist Symbionese
Liberation Army (SLA) came in the form of
a tape and letter left in a San Francisco
telephone booth Wednesday night. The
communique was addressed to the Rev.
Cecil Williams, who received an earlier
communique, and he was alerted to its
whereabouts by an anonymous telephone
call.
The latest communication also contained
a reference by the SLA to the two men being
held in San Quentin Prison charged with
'murder in the assassination of Oakland
Schools Supt. Dr. Marcus Foster. The SLA
claimed responsibility for that killing.
Admiral denies spy operations
WASHINGTON Adm. Robert O.
Welander testified Thursday he refused a
demand in 1971 by John D. Ehrlichman,
then President Nixon's domestic affairs
adviser, that he sign a document admitting
he was a key figure in an alleged military
spying operation in the White House.
Welander also told a Senate hearing the
charges by Yeoman 1C Charles Radford, his
former clerk, were made in retaliation
because Welander had accused Radford of
leading classified materials to syndicated
columnist Jack Anderson.
Radford, in testimony made public by the
Senate ArmedServices Committee, claimed
Wednesday that he stole White House
documents and spied on Henry A. Kissinger
and Gen. Alexander Haig on the direct
instructions of Welander and Adm.
Rembrandt C. Robinson.
Robinson , who was killed in Vietnam in
1971, preceded Welander as head of the

hostage.
Jim Minter, managing editor of the
Constitution, received the first call from a
man who said the newsapper would hear
more from the abductors Later.
Five minutes later, television station
WAGA received another call from a man
identifying himself as a colonel in the
revolutionary army.
"We have Reg Murphy, editor of the
Constitution, and don't bother to call the
FBI. It won't help," the colonel told WAGA.
Shortly after this call, Ms. Murphy was
contacted and told: "If you want to know
about your husband, call Jim Minter.""
Nearly 24 hours after the abduction,
however, William Fields, executive editor of
the Constitution, said there had been no
further word on Murphy's fate.
The executive editor explained that
Murphy, unlike Patricia Hearst, was not a
person of wealth. However, the Cox chain,
which owns the Constitution, is one of the
top newspaper groups in the country, along
with the Hearst newspapers and others.
Last Saturday the Constitution ran an
editorial saying the abduction of Patricia
Hearst, being held by a group that demands
her father feed the needy of California,. "is
almost a-minature history of the problems of
our times. There is a fanatic and criminal
radical group, the Symbionese Liberation
Army, that apparently wants to overthrow
the established order. . . .

Welander said in prepared testimony for

Nader group seeks some aerosol bans
WASHINGTON A Ralph Nader research group said Thursday a chemical linked
to iiver cancer Is being used in some aerosol products, including hair sprays, and
should be banned.
The chemical, vinyl chloride, could be "another Thalidomide" in its impact on the
public, Dr. Sidney Wclfe. director of the Health Research Group, told a
congressional hearing. Thalidomide was the tranquilizer linked to severe birth
defects a decade ago.

WASHINGTON A federal Watergate
grand jury Thursday indicted Jake
Jacobsen, a f ormer aide to President Lyndon
B. Johnson, on one count of lying to the
grand jury about efforts by milk producers
to win a price-support increase from the
Nixon administration.
The indictment was the first handed down
in the investigation of whether the Nixon
administration increased the price support
of raw milk in 1971 in exchange for a
promise of $2 miiiion in donations to
Nixon's 1972 re-election campaign.
The indictment said Jacobsen, 54, of
Austin, Tex., who served as a legislative
counsel to Johnson in 1965-67. knowingly
made false declarations one month ago w hen
the grand jury questioned him about $10,000
he had solicited from Associated Milk
Producers Inc. (AM PI).
Jacobsen, a lawyer for AM PI. allegedly
received the $ 1 0.000 within two months after
the Nixon administration reversed itself on
March 25.1971. and increased the price
support for raw milk.
It said Jacobsen. who was active in 1 972 in
the Democrats for Nixon organization
headed by John B. Connally Jr., solicited the
money "on the representation that such
money was to be paid to a public official for
his assistance in connecction with the price
support decision."
The "public official" was not identified.
The indictment said Jacobsen lied when he
testified last Jan. 25 that he did not touch the
$10,000 from the time he put it into a safe
deposit box until he looked at it with an FBI
agent Nov. 27, 1973.- It was believed the
money was kept in a bank in Austin, Tex., of
which Jacobsen is president.
"You are certain about thatT the
indictment said Jacobsen was asked.
"Yes. sir," it said Jacobsen replied.
"The declaration." the indictment said. "as
he then and there well knew, was false."
The indictment did not say what happened
to the $10,000.
Jacobsen was not in court when the
Indictment was handed down.
