Drug Use and Juvenile Crime Linked by Probation Chief
Moreno, chief probation officer for juveniles, cites rising drug use from 771 in 1968 to 503 in 1972 and 574 last year as linked to rising crime. He notes about 70 percent of 3,800 youths arrested on drug charges in 1972 admitted drug use, and warns figures reflect only arrestees, not all users. He laments classrooms as venues for narcotics exposure and describes a case of Frankie, a 16 year old who progressed from glue to marijuana to cocaine, burglary, and prison, illustrating systemic risk to youths.

Moreno criticized charges as misleading and said drug statistics show only a fraction of the issue. He cited juvenile drug abuse seen in cases not counted in narcotics stats and urged the grand jury to involve the community and probe leadership failures. He warned past methods failed and new youth-focused solutions are needed.

Mills Says Tax Report Could Push Nixon Resign
Rep Wilbur Mills says the committee's forthcoming tax report could give Nixon more grounds to resign than Watergate. White House sources say the original deed is missing and that its recovery would show the donation occurred before a law change. Edward Morgan testified he signed the transfer on April 21 1969 but the copy turned out to be typed on a later model typewriter.
