Washington federal narcotics chief told Congress that heroin traffic, costing up to 3.6 billion dollars annually and tied to government inaction or complicity abroad, funds crime and subsidizes addiction. He cited Southeast Asia officials and military men trafficking opium to supply American soldiers in South Vietnam, with Air America and other planes implicated in opium transport. He named Turkey as a major source and urged international action to ban opium production.

Fulbright cited rack life abroad as a factor, linking heroin trafficking to rising crime and costs of heroin habits.

Draft Extension Vote Expected to Narrow Gap
The draft expiration is proposed for June 80. The measure is likely to fail, but a June 39, 1972 extension, one year shorter than the administration seeks, could gain closer support.
