Editorial THE PRESIDENT RETURNS The American people, united, were warm in their welcome of President Nixon on his return to his home station following his week-long visit to the Peoples Republic of China; and extended talks with Premier Chou En-lai and Venerable Mao Tse-tung. Coming as it does in a presidential election year the visit, and more importantly, just what has come out of the visits, will be approached by many poli- tical figures purely on a partisan basis. As in most other areas of living we are in posi- tion of the cliche, that \we cannot see the forest because of the trees.\ In this instance any evalua- tion of the purposes of the visit of President Nixon to China is seen equally as important as the results of the visit itself. - . Foreign observers in making an analytical evaluation of the visit, and there may have been some envious deduction voiced, claim that for the first time since the close of World War I the United States is leading from weakness rather than strength and that the entire attempt of the United States in engendering a better relationship with China is based entirely upon the fact that the Soviet Union has attained a superiority in military strength, par- ticularly is the use of the atom bomb, and that the umbrella which we for the past half-century have held over the smaller nations in the way of military protection, has been removed. This is resulting in a growing affinity between the Soviets and the other smaller nations of the world. A uniting of China and the United States re- alignes the major powers with the Soviet Union in the middle. By such an agreement between two of the three nuclear power nations, U.S. and China, the prestige of this country may again be placed in the position of the major power of the world; something that it has forfeited over the past decade, according to the foreign press. . A most important part of this foreign observa- tion is seen in their assertion that there are two forces which make a country great. One is their ability to defend themselves and their allied pow- ers militarily and the other is a moral strength, It is the latter area which is concerning the outside world. This comes from the mouthings that have been made by many men in high positions in the country, as well as the attitude of a part of its young men and women. It is believed in both of 'these instances that the United States has taken - a backward step from its strong position of national unity and leaving little assurances to other nations that it will attempt to maintain its world position and there is little spirit left in this country to maintain it. In other words the Americans have become soft and seeking to protect their individual hides rather than exert the spirit that has made this country great. , There will be much gnashing of teeth over the concessions that we have made relative to our forces and aid to Taiwan and Nationalist China. This same attitude prevailed when we went into South-east Asia in defense of South Vietnam. And the same elements that were calling for the defense of the South Vietnamese are now bewailing the fact , that we have spent years and thousands of lives and billions of dollars for a cause that has yet to be established. The world is a great chess board. We believe the uninformed should let the masters play the game and trust that their moves are in the right direction. Answer to Previous Puzzle: ALT | N N .

Buckley of Middlesex County, who has raised a few eyebrows and even more controversy with his reforms, has come up with another proposal -adoption by the United States of Britain's heroin clinic system. And he plans to take the - matter right to the Republican national leadership this week in Washington. Buckley has caused consider- able controversy as he institut- ed conjugal visits, weekend sentences and a vast array of counseling, vocational and reha- bilitation programs at the Billerica House of Correction. But his latest idea -instituting the British heroin program -is the show-stopper. \Sure it caused headlines when I proposed it,\ he said, \\but that was because so many people misunderstood what I was proposing. I'm not saying legalize heroin, no sir. Will Destroy Market \I'm not saying let's put heroin in every drug store, not at all. But by making it available in strictly controlled clinics we'll destroy the market -and that's estimated at a $3 billion market,\ the sheriff said. - \Too many people didn't read below the headline when I first proposed this a couple of weeks ago. But of the people I've spoken with since then, I don't think five per cent -not 50 out of more than 1,000 -have disagreed with me, once they heard me explain the system. And I've spoken to all kinds of groups, not just sympathetic organizations. \It's a medical problem. Let's treat it that way.\ Buckley, a Republican who was elected from a predomin- antly Democratic county of more than 1.3 million, said he also hoped to get some federal help in talks with Elliot L. Richardson, secretary of Health Education and Welfare. Buckley was an aide to Richardson when he was active in Massachusetts politics. British System Under the four-year-old Bri- tish system, heroin addicts are registered and then receive free WASHINGTON (UPI) -Al though now is his 88th year, my father remains something of a visionary. When I saw him a couple of months ago, I was deploring the problems that had arisen from mass transportation by automobile. My father laid a hand on my shoulder and gazed westward into the setting sun. \Some say,\ he said, \vast numbers of people will be moving across this land in rail cars pulled by big locomotives. Maybe we won't see it in our lifetimes, but it's coming.\ as the gingerbread dreams of a wistful old man whose mind had slipped into reverie. Imagine, then, my astonish- ment when I subsequently learned that a government corporation named AMTRAK was actually promoting such a _ venture. A few days agb, caught up in . the pioneering spirit, I took an overnight trip on a train. Some improvements are needed, but the basic idea is sound and once they get the bugs out it just might work. Toward that end, AMTRAK might be wise to borrow a few concepts from our traditional modes of travel, the jet plane . and the motor car. Here are three suggestions. At all major railroad termin- als, there should be a track running around the station. When a train nears its destination, it should switch onto the orbital track and spend 30 minutes or so circling the station before coming to a stop. Secondly, the boarding facili- ties I saw were too compact compared to many airports. The trainmen have tried to overcome that handicap by making sure the car you wish The Lighter Side By DICK WEST United Press International to board is at the far end of the boarding platform. Finally, most train stations are located in the cities they serve. If AMTRAK is to compete with the airlines, it must move the terminals at least 20 miles away from the nearest urban area. The trip you take before your trip begins is half the fun. (Free expression is the mark of a progressive com- munity. This column be- longs to Journal - Register readers to set forth their views.

Watching the display of tactics that are presently being resorted to is a source of entertainment and one that I feel obligated to share with other residents of Middleport. There is a \concerned\ citizen haunting the community's nucleus with a pocketful of dreams. Tangible evidence to support the grandiose ideas seem to be lacking. Too, as an owner of some property contained within the involved area, I have yet to be approached with a purchase offer.

Not with His disciples nor His family. Neither with opponents who plotted His arrest and conviction, but with a Samaritan woman who had lived with five husbands and now was seeking a sixth relationship. In a few moments of conversation and dialogue, Jesus turned her way from sexual destruction to the threshold of spiritual re- covery and well-being. This was a healing experience and it took some while for His disciples to realize that emotional distress (as suffered by this Gentile woman in her physical and sexual indulgence) was just as disabling as being lame or blind. The Samaritan woman, with Christ's help, asked for enduring recovery and for the water that wells up to eternal life. At Jacob's well, a Samaritan. woman found Jesus and the true meaning of life. And be- cause of her need, we have one of the long- est conversations in the Bible and surely one of the most meaningful. | For a full-color, 64-page book based on this series, contain- ggbugrtcrgknllztl‘cg‘?g \matey; for framing, send $2.25 in 1 cash or chec T.

' \It costs about 16 cents for a shot of heroin in a clinic,\ Buckley said. \It's just a little more expensive for a clinic than aspirin. So why would you, as an addict, pay $300 or more - on the street when you can get it free from a regulated clinic?\ - The sheriff plans to gain more information about En- gland's program during a visit in mid-March. Buckley, who will pay for the visit himself, plans to take along a state lawmaker, lawyer and possibly a doctor on the trip. \'About 70 per cent of today's inmates are in jail for drug- related crimes. Let's start treating this as a medical problem, not a criminal prob- lem -and that means getting the doctors back into the scene, too,\ Buckley said. 4 \Look is a diabetic a criminal because he needs his shot of insulin?
