Official sees progress in war against drugs
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Attorney General William French French Smith told President Reagan yesterday that the administration was making substantial progress in the war against drug traffic.
Smith said at a White House news conference after reporting to Reagan and the Cabinet Council on Legal Policy on the current state of the drug effort.
"There is cause to be optimistic."
"That does not mean the problem is licked.
SMITH cited figures showing that the prices of heroin, cocaine and marijuana had more than doubled in
the past three years, indicating that the supply is shrinking. On other matters, Smith:

ABOUT FIVE HOURS after the explosion, a caller claiming to represent the 'Cameroon Patriotic Front' telephoned the Gabon-based radio station Africa No. 1 to say that his anti-government group had planted a bomb aboard the aircraft.
one caller gave no motive for the attack and said his group supported neither the Cameroon government of President Paul Biva nor exiled
former Camersonian leader Ahmadou Ahidjo, who was sentenced in absentia to death early this year for allegedly plotting a coup in April 1983.
"We understand that a political group claimed credit for a bomb attack" the official said.
In Washington, a State Department official said that seven Americans in two families had been on board and that five of the U.S. citizens had suffered minor injuries. The official did not name the U.S. passengers

Get to the answers faster. With the TI-55-II.
What you need to tackle the higher mathematics of a science or engineering curriculum are more functions - more functions than a simple slide-rule calculator has.
Enter the T1-55-II, with H12 power functions. You can work faster and more accurately with the T1-55-II, because it's preprogrammed
to perform complex calculations - like definite integrals, linear regression and hyperbolics - at the touch of a button. And it can also be programmed to do repetitive problems without re-entering the entire formula.
Included is the Calculator Decision-Making Sourcebook It makes the process of using
the TL-51-II even simpler, and shows you how to use all the power of the calculator.
