Brademas Statement At Drug Hearing

STATEMENT BY CONGRESSMAN JOHN BRADEMAS, CHAIRMAN, SELECT SUBCOMMITTEE ON EDUCATION HOUSE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION AND LABOR, HEARINGS ON H. R. 9312, THE DRUG - ABUSE EDUCATION ACT OF 1969, SOUTH BEND, AND WARSAW, INDIANA, FRIDAY, SEPT. 19, 1969. I am most pleased to welcome to Indiana and the district which I represent in Congress my distinguished colleagues on the Select Subcommittee on Education of the House Education and Labor Committee. The subject of these hearings today is H. R. 9312, the Drug Abuse Education Act of 1969, a bill introduced by Congressman Lloyd Meeds of Washington, and nearly 100 members of the House of Representatives. Such wide sponsorship indicates the great interest in Congress in developing effective approaches to solving the problem of the abuse of dangerous drugs. Reports almost daily reflect the rising urgency of the drug abuse question. For example, members of our subcommittee were alarmed to learn that during the month of June, 1969 alone, over 100 persons, with an average age of 22, died in New York City from the use of heroin. The Drug Abuse Education Act is aimed at working through our educational institutions, particularly our’ elementary and secondary schools, to attack the increasingly serious problem of the abuse of dangerous drugs. The bill would grant Federal funds to local schools for drug education projects as well as - support programs to train teachers, counsellors and others to teach such courses. In addition, the bill would make funds available for community seminars on drug abuse and tor research and curriculum development in drug abuse education. During the hearings which we have been conducting over the last several weeks, t we have heard from many authorities on the subject of drug abuse education. The testimony which we have received from educators, students. judges, lawyers, medical authorities, national organizations. civic groups and others has strongly supported the proposal. Typical of the testimony in support of the Drug Abuse Education Act is that of the American Medical Association. Dr. Henry Brill. Chairman of the AMA'S Committee on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, stated that this bill would provide an opportunity for a well coordinated and scientifically developed program of drug abuse education and information. He said that the leadership of the US Office of Education in the De-

partment of Health, Education and Welfare would bring assurance that our teachers and our schools would become directly involved in attacking the problem of drug abuse. Our subcommittee has also learned from the hearings that the Federal government has so far done almost nothing in providing support for education on the abuse of dangerous drugs. The Federal government supports: (1) No program for teacher training in the drug abuse field. (2) No direct grants to our schools for drug education courses. (3) No means of testing and evaluating existing materials for drug abuse education. The bill we are today considering aims at filling the education gap in the drug abuse field. For the abuse of drugs is no longer solely a police or medical problem. It has now developed into a grave threat to the health and well being of millions of Americans both young and old. Nor do drugs have any respect for race, economic background, or area of the country. Although our subcommittee has held hearings on this bill in Washington, D. C., New York City, Los Angeles, and Seattle, the problem of the use of dangerous drugs — especially by young people — affects smaller towns and cities and rural communities as well. Therefore, we are meeting in South Bend this morning and Warsaw this afternoon to hear from persons in Northern Indiana concerned with the drug problem. Let me add that since the inception of these hearings, I have encouraged to see that various individuals and groups have undertaken efforts to educate their own communities on drugs and the dangers arising from their abuse.

'CHJZINiO* around wiy J A remark often heard since the Friday congressional hearing at Warsaw high school concerning the drug abuse legislation, is. that Third District Congressman John Brademas engineered a real coup. Congressman Brademas received a real scare last year when he sought re-election and found himself running against popular Will Erwin of Kosciusko county. Hard-core Republican Kosciusko county is the real “soft spot” for Democratic Congressman Brademas and he , knows it. There is talk that Erwin, a farmer near Etna Green, will seek the office again, and again be Brademas’s opponent in 1970. By holding the hearing in Kosciusko county, Congressman Brademas defused the Warsaw newspaper, so the comments run, and won him wide favor in Kosciusko county. There could be considerable truth in this report ... for a poor politician Congressman Brademas is not. * « * Glen Longnecker, who will be the speaker at Leesburg Lions 25th anniversary dinnermeeting at the Shrine building on the fairgrounds on Saturday night, was that club’s first president. When Glen was high schbol principal he was president of the Syracuse Lions club, and later, when he served as principal at Warsaw junior high school, he was Lions club president in Warsaw. Glen and Mrs. Longnecker are dorm parents at Manchester college, a sort* of retirement package for them. ; ** * , Hard-working Tom Jones, who is heading up the Syracuse junior high football team, has adopted the policy of getting his team together at a goal post before each game for a short prayer. This shouldn’t get him in trouble with the declared Supreme Court policy of no-school-prayers, since football is an extra curricular activity and is not done on school time. * * * Charlotte Marie Butler, former Warsaw newshen, has accepted a job as wire editor of the Kendallville Sunday-Times. * * * There is nothing like the first horseback ride that makes a fellow feel better off. * * * Mr. and Mrs. McKinley Blough of Lake Wawasee plan to leave October 10 for a 10-day stay at the Columbia Club in Indianapolis, then depart for New York from which point they will leave by ship for a winter’s stay in Italy and Spain.

Congressman Brademas at Warsaw: The government has been paying farmers for not raising crops; perhaps we could pay them for spraying marijuana. « » * Triumph is umph added to try. s $ Bruce Cripe, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bud Cripe of Bradenton, Fla., arrived Saturday night to spend several days with Bill and Jeanne Jones on Lake Wawasee. A former Syracuse resident, Bruce graduated from SHS with Larry Jones, and hopes to visit Larry and his wife Rebecca at Philadelphia where Larry is in the naval hospital. From there Bruce will report to Quantico, Va., where he will enter U. S. Marine officers candidate school. c * * The Jim Kirkwoods have sold their home on the south shore of Lake Wawasee, but hope to remain in the area. « « # Look for a new business to go into the road 13 south building formerly occupied by Sign of The Fish. Former resident Tim Motts is sprucing up the building for offices. * » ♦ Jim Morse, a member of the Goshen community school board, said this week he felt the Essenberg threat to remove their two tall sons from Warsaw high school was nothing more than a threat, with no intentions of ever backing it up. “I think we were used,” big Jim stated this week. * * * Incidentally, the page 1 story concerning the Essenberg boys in this paper last week brought a tart retort from the mother of Kim Lucas the youth whose rules refractions precipitated the entire ruckus in the first place. * * « Harry Peterson of Muncie is seen around the area sporting a
