Goddard backs LSD possession misdemeanor bill
Dr James L Goddard commissioner of food and drugs supported legislation to make possession of LSD a misdemeanor while opposing penalties that would criminalize personal possession for many youths. He favored tougher penalties for manufacturers sellers and distributors and noted the main value lies in aiding enforcement against pushers.

Special Offices To Improve Ties With Slum Dwellers To Be Urged
Washington AP sources say the Presidents Commission on Civil Disorders will urge police departments to create community service offices to liaise with slum residents with the federal government covering about 90 percent of salaries. Officers from ghetto areas would work in ghettos as hybrid police, possibly without armed powers, drawing police pushback over qualifications. The panel also backs more training, higher pay, and recruiting more Black officers, with federal funding likely required. The final report, due next Sunday, notes riots in Newark and Detroit were sparked by police incidents.

Policy on Casualty and Damage Reporting in Combat Bases
The memo states that in future operations concerning fixed installations such as Khe Sanh and Tan Son Nhut, casualties, rounds hit, times and locations, and material damage may be withheld if tactical conditions require. It argues announcing these details would aid enemy intelligence and permit targeted assaults, reducing combat effectiveness.

Mekong River usable for shallow drafts to Paksane
In Laos the Mekong runs 2600 miles to its delta and is navigable by shallow draft vessels at Paksane. South of Cambodia the river deepens to admit 15 foot draft ships into South Vietnam.

Government casualties not known. Attopeu reported 94 Communist deaths and 42 Laotian dead with seven wounded. Saravane remains tense but quiet after an IC Commission inspection. The airfield there has mortar damage and one helicopter down.

Dirksen Faces Mixed GOP Support On Housing Bill
Rights Jan. 18 strengthened Dirksen's bargaining position with the bill's proponents. A GOP split emerged last week over tabling the open housing amendment. Dirksen voted against cutting off debate both times, with 19 voting for and 17 against on Monday. He said votes show a desire for a bill and would back a cutoff if a compromise is reached. Debate limits would grant one hour per senator, yet over twenty amendments remain to be offered and can be voted on even after time runs out.

Krupp empire ends Allied deconcentration plan echoes
Alfried Krupp faced Allied orders to sell his vast Krupp holdings after World War II. Despite amnesty in 1951 and a return to leadership, experts spent years arranging a sale. By 1967 Krupp employed 109000, with near 1.25 billion in annual sales. The firm argues the deconcentration policy is an anachronism amid Europe’s steel consolidations.
