Police to teach about drugs
By United Press International
LOS ANGELES — The police chief fear that America has already "lost two generations" to narcotics will send officers to grammar schools to teach them how to resist drug use and ways to resist peer pressure, a police official said yesterday.
The uniformed but unarmed officers next month will begin lectures before 35,000 fifth and sixth grade students at the city's public school throughout the nation's third largest city.
The officers will also make appearances in younger classes, all the way up.
Lt. Dan Cooke said Chief Daryl Gates, who has made the program his "top priority," and decided to concentrate on schoolchildren because he hoped they were "still impressionable" as teachers in junior high and high school.
"They're so indoctrinated, by their peers and by their parents." Cook said when he poured milk into our hands to push a kid to get off drugs when their parents are using dope themselves?
"THE PARENTS TODAY are pretty much the products of the 'Do your own thing' philosophy of the 60s and 70s. The ones we have already lost one or two generations."
One of the officers chosen for Project DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) said he was convinced that drug abuse "is by far the most devastating epidemic" the United States has ever faced.
"Drugs are like snake venom," Loren Zimmerman insisted. "It has entered our society's mainstream and has literally suffocated our moral
Each of the 10 officers assigned to the program has received 200 hours of intensive training by school district specialists.
THEY PLAN TO de-emphasize the traditional approach of warning students about the hazards of using illicit drugs. Instead, they will suggest alternatives to drug use and will try to teach students how to make good decisions and resist peer pressure to experiment with drugs and alcohol.
"This is not just another anti-drug program." Cooke said. "This goes
more into value decisions, self concept and self improvement and respect for the law.
Joseph Linscomb, the district's associate superintendent of instruction, said the district's goal was "to equip these students with enough knowledge and self-confidence so they can say no when they are offered drugs."
Cook said that there were also plans to develop other anti-drug projects, some using sports and rock music stars.
Gates said he hoped to raise donations from business and civic groups to expand the program to 40 officers, including elementary schoolchildren in the city.
Project DARE resulted from a meeting earlier this year between Gates and Schools Superintendent Harry Handler, when the chief expressed concern over "the drug problem facing society."
"AS A YOUNG MAN, I can remember that the March of Dimes helped stop polio," Gates said. "I hope we can have a 'March of Dollars' nationwide to stop the drug disease throughout the country."

Man jailed in death of police officer
By United Press International
WEST COVINA, Calif. - A man being questioned by a policeman about his strange behavior grabbed the officer's shotgun from the patrol car yesterday afternoon and shot him in the bead, killing him.
A police spokesman said officer Kenneth Wrembelt, 26 and a three-year-old boy in the Bronx.
patrol when he spotted Michael Jackson, 29, of nearby Valinda, and thought he was "bizarre acting."
When Wrede tried to question Jackson, Lt. Ross Heaton said, the man ripped a 4-foot tree stake out of the woods and discharged the officer back to his patrol car.
"He ripped the gun out of the patrol car with rack and everything." Heaton said, then fired one blast and hit Wrede in the head.
Heaton said the officer called for assistance before he was shot, but he was "down and dead" when the next officer arrived.
Jackson was treated at a nearby hospital for dog bites and was transferred to the County US Medical Center. He was also looked for the murder of a police officer.
A police dog tracked Jackson down. He was still armed, but offered no resistance.
New disease may be form of anorexia
BOSTON — America's fitness obsession is taking a toll on potentially thousands of youngsters who skip meals to avoid getting fat but stun their growth and delay puberty in a new eating disorder possibly linked to anorexia nervosa, doctors warned yesterday.
A team of physicians reported in the New England Journal of Medicine the discovery of the new condition that could be a mild variant or precursor to the starvation disease anorexia and might result in youngsters permanently stunting their growth.
By United Press International
"We call it 'Fear of Obesity Syndrome,' said Dr. Fina Lifshitz of North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y.
"The children don't eat enough because they fear they will get fat. And then they hurt themselves they could stunt their growth them. They're casualties of this whole slim and trim. Stay fit philosophy."
HE SAID THE CONDITION is not as "pathological" as anorexia — which affects an estimated half million Americans who starve themselves. Many of the thinking they are fit but if left untreated it may be a precursor to it.
Of more than 200 youngsters who went to the hospital's Growth Clinic for being slow-growers or having delayed puberty, 14 between the ages of 9 and 17 were found healthy with normal weight and eat enough for fear of getting fat.
"That's a 7 percent figure, which is very large, so this condition might be prevalent." Lifshitz said.
The 14 children looked up to four years younger than they were, were between 5 and 23 percent underweight for their age, were extremely short and had a two-to-five year old in their sexual development, he said.
"When a youngster doesn't eat properly, all his nourishment goes into maintaining himself and not growing and developing." Laitzh said.
"All the older patients had delayed puberty. We had one boy who was 17 and came to us after police stopped him in his car and accused him of being underage because he looked only 13."
TYPICALLY, HE SAID, the children skipped meals and ate much less than the recommended calorie intake of their age group.
He said the children - nine boys and five girls - generally were overachievers, came from families that were fitness conscious and a third had parents or siblings who were obese.
After having their problems diagnosed, the children were hesitant about changing habits, as were some mothers who said the children might wind up fat. But the children did alter habits — without the need for intensive therapy — and began to resume growth and development, though one 16-year old girl suffered permanent stunting of her growth.

The situation was complicated because South Korea does not have diplomatic relations with Moscow. The Soviet news agency Tass did not immediately carry a report of the incident.
The passengers were reported safe. Among them was Rep. Larry McDonald, D-Ga., whose spokesman said in Washington that American officials thought the jet was forced down by Soviet or North Korean fighters.
The Boeing 747 jetliner was reported missing yesterday and officials originally feared the plane may have been hijacked.
A report on the Korean Broadcasting System said early today that the CIA had informed the Seoul government of an intercept operation in the island about 850 miles north of Tokyo.
Korean jet lands safely on Soviet-held island
Jet may have strayed
By United Press International
SEOUL, South Korea — A Korean Air Lines lumped jet飞奔 from New York to Seoul yesterday with 269 people aboard, including a U.S. congressman, was forced to land on Sakhula, an airport near Kuala Lumpur, the government-run television said.
Unconfirmed reports suggested the jetliner had strayed into Soviet-controlled air space and was forced down by fighters based in the area, but officials in Honduras, where Pacific agencies are based, declined comment.
"We've been told unofficially the plane was forced down," said McDonald's press secretary, Tommy Toles. "We do have it unofficially on good reports, that it was forced down either by the Soviets or in North Kore-
On April 20, 1978, a KAL flight from Paris crossed into Soviet airspace by mistake en route to Anchorage and was shot down by Russian fighters. Two passengers were killed.
A CIA spokesman in Washington, Dale Peterson, said, "I can neither confirm nor deny that story at this time. I just don't have any information."
KAL officials confirmed that Mc-Donald was aboard the plane.
The last radio contact was with Tokyo radio at 9:23 a.m. to 2:23 p.m. CDT. At that time the aircraft's altitude was 35,000 feet. This was the last word."
It was thought that U.S. officials would join Japanese officials in the趴
About 100 friends and relatives of passengers waiting at Kimpo were stunned at the report of the missing plane but cheered and applauded when the news came announced. Cho said earlier he thought the plane could have been hijacked.
The pilot was identified as Capt Chun Byongin, 45 KAL said the passengers included 92 Koreans, 22 Japanese, 34 Taiwanese and 121 others.
"The last contact with the plane was with Tokyo radio at 9:23 a.m. Alaska Standard Time (2:23 p.m. CDT). He said it took 5 hours after it had left."
"The aircraft had all modern navigation equipment and was in perfect shape," said Cho. "Thus I am inclined to think that it was forced out of normal flight against its intention. I cannot tell exactly what actually happened to it."
Cho fle immediately to Tokyo to join negations for the return of the passengers, crew and airplane from the island, which was occupied by the Soviet Union after World War II. He then left to reach Sakhalin by way of Sapporo.
"That zone is about 80 miles south of Russian airspace, and all pilots gense tense when they fly there." Cho said. "I cannot tell how the plane came to land on Sakabal. It does not matter as long as the passengers are all right."
Plane stopped at Anchorage
KAL. Vice President Cho Choong-
keem said he was told the plane landed
on Thursday.
"The fate of the aircraft is of no concern," he said. "If the passengers are injured, they may not be rescued."
Donald, 48, of Marietta, Ga., is an ultra-conservative who was named chairman of the nation. John Birch (1927-2015) left his immediate comment from his family.
Park Yong-man, captain of a second jetliner flying not far behind KAL 067, said he last heard the jumbo's pilot tell that they were on their way to climbing from 33,000 to 35,000 feet.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Cliff Cernick in Anchorage said the plane left Anchorage after a refueling stop.
