Testimony on pot law features NORML chief and senators
The House Narcotics committee hears witnesses as it considers decriminalizing personal marijuana use. NORML director Keith Stroup says smokers should not be treated as criminals while Sen Jacob Javits calls smoking marijuana a personal vice. The bill would allow possession up to one ounce with a traffic ticket and up to 100 dollars fine, while drug peddler penalties stay unchanged. Jerome Hornblass notes public concern over adults drinking alcohol while youths question marijuana laws. Sponsors hope federal decriminalization prompts state action.

Brown says health probe could take years and cost millions
Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. says cleaning up alleged financial irregularities in Medi-Cal and other health care programs will take years and vast sums. A state strike force aims to spend 1.6 million over 18 months hunting abuse by providers while balancing funding for auditors and prosecutors against aid for the needy. Brown cautions that more prosecutions may divert money from direct care. He also notes no plan to block a federal inquiry and sought clarity after health department actions and congressional questions.

Senate approves Rhodesian chrome ban to back U N sanctions
The Senate voted 66 to 26 to repeal the Byrd Amendment allowing Rhodesian chrome imports, a move the Carter administration says will bolster black majority rule in Rhodesia and aid the United Nations sanctions regime. The House had already approved the measure as Carter prepared to address the U N. Speech. Byrd pressed amendments, but a 93-0 vote backed a clause to resume imports if peace requires.
