'Bathtub drug' suspects arrested in KBI probe
By United Press International
GARDEN CITY — A drug known as "crank" in street language figured prominently in a Kansas law enforcement sweep that lead to the arrest of 29 people on narcotics charges, officials said yesterday.
Finney County Attorney Paul Hardy said most were arrested in the Garden City area, but two were nabbed in Hays, one in Topeka and one in Ulysses.
The arrests climaxed a six-month undercover investigation by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and other agencies, Handy said.
MANY OF THE arrests involved sale of methamphetamines of the homemade "bathub" variety, he said. The drug, which is usually more potent than an amphetamine, sold in one- or two-bag packages for $50 to $100 or more, be said.
"It's an easy drug to make, the chemicals that comprise the methambutepine are easy to come by, and from what reports say, most of them
call it bathtub crank," Handy said. "Most of them make it up in fairly large quantities and distribute it on the streets."
Smith said police called the investigation a "pro-active" approach.
"That means we don't sit back and wait for them to come to us/go we to go
Garden City Police Capt. H.G. Smith said LSD, cocaine, heinein, marjunia and hashish also were seized. Street value of the seized drugs was unknown.
HANDY SAID 22 people were arrested beginning Tuesday morning, and seven more were arrested by yesterday morning. Another drug investigation would begin immediately, he said.
The KBI and Garden City police conducted the operation with the cooperation of the FBI, Smith said. The Finney County Sheriff's Department conducted a simultaneous investigation that resulted in the arrest of two people on charges of methamphenatimes, Handy said.

The candidates for the three open commission seats are David Longhurst, Ernest Angino, Mike Amyx, Don Binns, Barbara Maxwell and Bonita
MAYOR MARCI Francisco and KU student David Allen, who have said they will run as write-in candidates, were not invited to the forum because the League has not invited write-in candidates to similar forums.
The six candidates said that the matter of development should be put forward.
David Longhurst, owner of the House of Usher printing service, said that any redevelopment plan must retain the existing character of the present downtown and that the bottom line of any project would be its cost.
Barbara Maxwell, director of guidance at South Junior High School, said of the possibility of a suburban mail, "I never deliver it takes to downtown."
Ernest Angino, chairman of the KU department of geology, said that he had done his own poll on the public's support of the designs presented by the city's developer, Sizerel Realty Co. Inc., Kenner, La., and that the poll showed that the plans presented so far would be defeated if to a vote.
COMMISSIONER DON Binns, the only incumbent to run in the primary election, said that the Downtown Improvement Committee had done a good job in the selection process and allowed to continue advising the city.
Mike Amyx, a barber at the Amyx Barber Shop downtown, said that the city commission had already approved a plan and "I think it's time to hear what we can do."
Bonita Yoder, a local attorney, said that although some people said it could not be done, "We need to look at the problem of a couple of free-storing department steps."
The candidates also said that Lawrence needed to attract more industry.
Longhurst said, "An industrial park is nothing more than a way in which the capitalist economy can be used."
Maxwell said that an industrial park was needed to provide jobs and that the city must sell itself to prospective industry.
BINNS, SPEAKING of the proposed industrial park site that the county refused to allow the city to annex, said, "I voted for it without reservation and I certainly didn't vote for it to go down to county commission to lobby against it."

By United Press International
The official Polish news agency PAP, monitored in Vienna, announced the government changes on the final day of elections and saw an awash of Poland parliament. The Setin

IN THE CABNET reshuffle, Jaruzelski removed Jant Anosik as materials economy minister and Gen. Tadeusz Hupalowski as minister of administration, local economy and environment protection.

In reference to the economic proposals, PAP quoted the draft program as saying the main directions of fighting inflation included state budget cuts, wage control and new and higher taxes, promotion of exports and income, luxury goods and services, and new stimulation of production for the market.
