House OKs No Knock Drug Curb Advances in narcotics control
The House Commerce Committee approved a bill granting Nixon new powers to curb drugs, including a controversial no knock clause. It proposes tougher penalties, potential life terms for hardened pushers, more BNDD agents, licensing for handlers, and a presidential commission on marijuana and abuse causes. The no knock provision allows entry without knocking under warrant when danger or evidence risk exists, a point some oppose to be removed during debate.

No Fault Insurance Bill Ends Massachusetts Auto Premium Policy
Governor Francis W. Sargent signed a landmark no fault insurance bill making Massachusetts drivers the first to be covered under the system. The plan requires each motorist’s own insurer to pay medical bills and lost wages up to 2000 regardless of fault, while suits for pain and suffering are limited. Legislators added a 15 percent premium cut across liability, property damage, fire theft and collision. Several insurers warned they will stop writing or renewing auto polices in the state.
