Fresh Strawberry’ Pie & Daily Specials Yusof said Malaysian authorities had introduced wiretapping to gather evidence against drug dealers, traf fickers and couriers. The drug legislation, in the form .of amendments to the dangerous drugs ordinance of 1952, introduced the death sentence or alternatively life imprisonment and whipping for anyone convicted of domestic or international trafficking. It also provides for whipping of persons convicted on drug offenses—at least three lashes in cases involving more than four pounds of raw opium or half a pound of prepared opium, and at least six lashes in cases involving more than 50 grams of herion or morphine. The law makes mandatory drug therapy for convicted addicts and medical examinations for suspected addicts. Addicts who volunteer for therapy would be exempted from prosecution. The international criminal police organization, Interpol, recently dispatched several officers to Malaysiato help break up the local syndicate which supplied drugs to international smugglers in Europe and North America. Dozens of Malaysian couriers have been arrested in the past year in Brussels, Amsterdam and Honolulu. The Republican party, which concedes readily that the day of the fat-cat giver is gone, is looking to the PACs as a way of .raising money from traditionally friendly areas without the expens? of direct solicitation.

Oscar disputes ‘cooling ' LOS ANGELES (UPI) —Backstage disagreements involving Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope and Shirley MacLaine over the reading of a telegram from the Com munist side in Vietnam on the nationally televised Oscar awards were being “cooled” yesterday by the Motion Picture Academy. 1 Bert Schneider, winner of an award for a documentary picture, startled the participants at the ceremony Tuesday night and set NBC switchboards flashing with protesting calls when he read the cable hailing the “liberation” of Viet nam. Sinatra, one of the four masters of ceremony on the program, a short time later read a statement on behalf of the Academy disavowing Schneider’s remarks. A spokesman for the Academy said the disavowal had been written by Hope and Howard Koch, producer of the show. • Persons backstage said Miss MacLaine, another of the emcees, berated Sinatra for having read the statement. The fourth emcee, Sammy Da vis'd r., was said to have tried to bring peace between all concerned: The incident began early in the award ceremony which saw seven Oscars going to “The Godfather Part II,” and best acting laurels to Ellen Burstyn and Art Carney. Accepting one of the minor awards, Schneider said: “It is ironic that we are here at a time just before Vietnam is about to be liberated.

These actions serve a legitimate interes.t of people and the Vietnamese* people. Greetings of friendship to all the American people.’ Thank you very much.” There was perfunctory applause and the show went on. Then Sinatra appeared and said: “I wish to make the following statement regarding a statement made by a winner. The Academy is saying, we are not responsible for any political references on this program and we are sorry that they have to take place this evening.” Hope wds reported to have told Sinatra that if he didn’t want to read the statement Hope would. “No, I’ll doit,” Sinatra replied. What went on backstage after that was unclear. Among those in the wings were John Wayne and Warren Beatty, Miss MacLaine’s brother, who are on opposite sides of the ideological fence. When Beatty appeared to replace Sinatra at the microphone for the final award, he said: “You old Republican, you.” Todd Jeffers, WMAJ discd members stood behind the jockey, and Wendy William's, contestants to count the WRSC disc jockey, started number of scoops and refilled the event, with Jeffers taking the dishes a swig of beer for every bite of ice cream “My mouth will never be the same." Jeffers said at the end of the contest. “I lost 18 fillings and two teeth, but I still have my health." Everyone was given five minutes to eat as much as possible.
