American
connection
developing
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Until 10 years ago, drug
peddling was the work of organized criminals. Now, it
appears the average American is getting into the
business.
That’s the opinion of John Bartels Jr., head of the Drug
Enforcement Administration, which deals with the flow of
illicit drugs into the United States.
He told the Senate juvenile delinquency subcommittee
Wednesday that an “American Connection” is
developing. Finding it easier to travel to Mexico than to
Europe, Americans are crossing the border and bringing
back heroin in such quantities that 50 to 65 per cent of the
illegal heroin sold today is of Mexican origin.
“We see a great number of middle class, average
Americans who are willing to traffic in drugs to make
money,” Bartels told chairman Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind.
Bayh said he was shocked by the words “average
American” and suggested Bartels might mean an
“average hood or an average Mafioso.”
Answered Bartels: “It used to be a pretty hardened
criminal who would engage in heroin smuggling. That’s
not necessarily so now.
“More youngsters, more people without criminal
records, mere people with prior productive lives are being
arrested for smuggling heroin and cocaine.”
Ambassador Sheldon Vance of the State Department
said Turkey was the main supplier of illicit heroin until
the government was persuaded to impose a ban on opium
production in 1971. The ban created “massive disruption”
in heroin supplies, he said, and eventually, Mexican
heroin took over.

Wild ducks ended his flying
Having his children attend
American schools is something
ipecial to Guenter Roesch
pronounced Gunter Rush), the
lew manager of Griffin’s Holi
lay Inn.
Mr. Roesch, a native of
Munich, Germany, has been in
he states about 10 years.
He first came to Georgia in
1961 for pilot training with the
German Air Force at Moody
?ield in Valdosta. There he met
ind married his wife, Avie, and
hey returned to his homeland,
■le continued in the air force
intil a flock of wild ducks
ibruptly ended his flying
tareer.
Roesch was piloting a single
teater F-84 jet when the plane
:ollided with a flock of wild
lucks. His fingers were on the
fjection button to bail out when
le happened to glance in a
nirror over the cockpit and see
lis left eye “hanging down my
iheek”. In order to save the
{ye, he said, he knew he had to
and the crippled plane.
The accident permanently
lamaged his vision. His career
in the air force was over.
Roesch said his father-in-law,
back in Valdosta, came to the
rescue by offering him a posi
tion as a meat cutter in a super
market he owned.
The young couple returned to
the states, where Roesch, who
always had loved to cook,
learned the meat business, then
became manager of Davis
Brothers in Tifton.
From there, he joined Holiday
Inns and served as innkeeper in
Tallahassee and Panama City
before coming to Griffin.
The family is impressed with
Griffin’s schools. Their
daughter, Nicole, nine, and son,
Marty, eight, attend Atkinson
Elementary where they are
doing well in their studies.
Mr. Roesch thinks American
schools have many advantages
over those in Germany. He
especially is impressed with the
extra curricular activities of
fered here such as band, clubs
and sports.
In his homeland, sports are
not emphasized. There are no

are (1-r) Lee Cook, publicity chairman; Ann Harris, Mrs. Mildred Reeves of
the BPW, sponsor of the visit, and Tyndall McMillan, a bloodmobile official
in Griffin. Headquarters will be at the First Baptist Church tomorrow from
12:30 p.m. until 5 p.m. The goal is 250 pints. x

Terrorists blow up floor
TEL AVIV (UPI) - Pales
tinian terrorists landing from
rubber boats seized a hotel on
Tel Aviv’s Mediterranean
waterfront and then blew up an
entire floor of the building
early today, killing a group of
hostages. They said the daring
raid was timed to coincide with
the Middle East visit of
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger.
Israeli commandos stormed
the building, the rundown Hotel
Savoy in a seedy district of Tel
Aviv, and killed six of the Arab
guerrillas. Six hours later while
searching the wreckage they
found two more guerrillas who
* had survived the explosion and
killed one of them and captured
the other in another gunbattle.
Israel announced that 16
persons were killed — seven
guerrillas and nine Israeli
high school football, basketball
or track teams.
Here teachers and students
communicate better, he ob
served. In Germany teachers
are available for parent con
sultations only about an hour a
week and often that time is
taken up with other appoint
ments.
There is no choice of subjects
in high school. All students take
a prescribed course. It’s up to
him to keep up. “If you don’t,
you’re out,” he said.
Only selected students can
attend German high schools. At
the end of the fifth grade,
students are given a choice of
trade school or high school. To
get into high school, the student
must have an average of C or
better and must pass an en
trance exam. Otherwise, when
he finishes the ninth grade, he
learns a trade.
Even if he continues in high
school, he has to pass a state
exam before being awarded a
diploma.

major attack on Tel Aviv,
Israel’s largest city which

Mediterranean. It did not say
whether there were any Ameri
can victims.
The Palestine Liberation Or
ganization claimed in a state
ment issued in Damascus that
20 Israeli soldiers were killed
and 30 wounded and said the
attack was carried out by the
Al Fatah organization, a
military branch of the PLO.

second-in-command, said of the
guerrilla attack:

the Middle East without the
Palestinians. This should be
clearly understood by Kissin
ger.”
cannot be admitted to any
university or to the German Air
Force Academy, which Mr.
Roesch attended.
Misbehavior is not tolerated.
No physical punishment is used,
but if a student misbehaves, he
is transferred to a trade school.
“The German schools are
strictly for learning. A student
has no business there if he
doesn’t want to learn,” Roesch
explained.
English is mandatory,
although Roesch was speaking
the language fluently by the
time he was six. His father was
a German soldier and the
family lived near Americans
who occupied their army
camps.
Being a good cook is a family
tradition. Mr. Roesch’s grand
mother was ajirofessional chef
at one of the largest hotels in
Graz, Austria. His mother
mastered the art and taught it
to him at an early age. He is
teaching his children how to
cook and already they are
baking “all right for their age.”
Kissinger, in London en route
to the Middle East, said he
condemned “the senseless act
of violence” and that it
underlined the importance of
his current peace mission. He

Atty. Gen. Bolton
to have his say
ATLANTA (UPI) — State
Attorney General Arthur Bolton
has been given permission to ,
appear before the Senate
Judiciary Committee Friday to
give his side in a dispute
between himself and Sen.
Eugene Holley, D-Augusta.
Bolton said he thought he was
personally attacked when Hol
ley allegedly accused the state
Law Department of trying to
mislead the General Assembly
on a bill dealing with the
attorney general’s subpoena
powers.
Holley denied he had criti
cized Bolton personally, saying
he had “the highest regard for
Mr. Bolton ... I meant no
personal affront.”
The dispute came about at a
Judiciary hearing Tuesday at
which Richard L. Chambers, an
assistant attorney general, gave
the Law Department’s views on
the subpoena powers bill.
The version of the bill which
passed the House would delete
a provision that Bolton’s office
could not investigate a member
of the legislature while the
General Assembly was in
session.
“I don’t think it was
intentional. But the bill also
clianged a couple of other
things, and I think the
committee should look at it
closely,” Holley said.”
A legislator can only be in
vestigated at the request of the
governor and Bolton’s office has
been directed by Gov. George
Busbee to examine the state-

The bill would encourage city

Hatcher, D-Albany. It provides
that juveniles awaiting trial or
a commitment hearing can be
detained only in a licensed
foster home or home approved
by the court having jurisdic

center, or a facility operated by
state or local child-welfare
agencies.
Providing no such facilities
are available, a judge could
have a juvenile suspect held in
the local jail —but in a cell
separate from adult offenders.
Jailers will also be required
to notify juvenile court authori

the young offender would not be

criminals.
The bill also provides that “A

deliquent children and shall be
detained in non-secure custody,
unless it appears that the child
may abscond or be removed
from the jurisdiction of the
court, and appropriate alter
natives to secure detention are
not available.”
