International monetary cir- cles were equally shaken. \I knew the situation was bad when the Yanks devalued the dollar, abandoned gold and raised import duties,\ a' London financier commented \But I never dreamed they would 'go this far.\ + Reaction Generally Favorable Domestic reaction, however, was generally favorable. Al- though growing vegetables strikes many citizens as a radical approach to the prob- lem, they are nonetheless pleased that something is being done to curb inflation. - Government economists - sought to forestall panic by _ pointing out that the resolution ' was not exclusively an antl- inflation measure. They noted that it also mentioned \saving money, get- ting exercise, and having the fun and pleasure of family vegetable growing.\ Additionally, Treasury offi- cials emphaslzed that families were being urged to plant only \where practica- They said this would tend to deter raising vegetables in apartments and motel rooms. ble : efiess, the language of the resolutii It likened anti-inflation gardens to the all-important \victory gardens\ of World War II. \Victory Gardens'\ Credited (Military historians generally credit victory gardens with turning the tide against Nazi Germany.

Strong Mayor Plan - ', By BERT KINDIG NEW YORK (UPI) -When the voters approved the city charter at the polls on Nov. 7, 1961, it was hailed as a model of city government. ‘ Yet a basic principle of that charter probably will be challenged in the voting booth in November-if the five borough presidents go through with their present plans. - That basic principle is one of a strong mayor. |. It was thought at the time the charter was adopted that New York City would be better governed if the mayor had a tight grip on everything that went on. It was thought, for example, that the city would get around to filling in potholes faster if the job was done by a highway com- missioner accountable directly to the mayor, rather than by crews respons1bl£ to the borough presidents, astit {had been in the past. At least two of the borough presidents now want to go a lot further than just returning sewers, highways and such matters to their jurisdiction. Robert Abrams of the Bronx and Percy Sutton of Manhattan have come out with detailed plans for p drastic decentralization. Under both plans, power over basic city services would be placed in the hands of elected community boards. But, Queens Borough President Donald Manes thinks the community board plan may be too drastic to plunge into all at once with a referendum next fall. He has suggested that, as a first-step, the authority over lo- cal services should be returned to the borough presidents, and that the voters should be asked to authorize a 13-member com- mission to study further decen- tralization. |_ Abrams and a' spokesman for Sutton conceded that the Manes \compromise\ may turn out to be what will go on the ballot. Both Sutton and Arabs are de- termined that at least something which strips the mayor of seme of his powers must go before the voters.

WASHINGTON: (NEA) Illicit gampling brings $20 billion a year to finance the syndicates and bankroll loansharking, the infiltration of legitimate business, prostitution and a host of other il- legal pursuits. The process snowballs. Loanshark victims are pres- sured into theft and hijacking. Infiltrated \legitimate\ firms are used for distributing stolen goods. . One' recent study says flatly the criminal justice sys- tem's inability to curb urban crime-can, in many re- spects, e attributed to heroin addiction. Some criminal _ court judges have found that 75 per cent of all the cases they try involve. defendants with a history of heroin use. It is not news that many, perhaps most, heroin users must turn to crime to support their hablt ‘ But {with these conclusions on gambling and heroin at hand, lit is strikingly evident that, to date, very little headway has been made in drymg up either. Several states have experimented with legalized lot- teries, off-track betting and other forms of government- controlled gambling. Thus far there is no convincin ev1- dence these states are successfully com numbers men and other syndicate types. the state can match the handy has been found whereb ting with For one, no way neighborhood runner, the ease of credit (backed by en: forcers) and the secrecy of the illegitimate operator (which permits tax evasion). Probably more concentrated attacks on the crime syn- dicates have been carried out these past few years than at any time in the past. Arrests have reached new rec- ords. But there is no indication that snydlcate strength has been sapped. The studies suggest, in fact, that the underworld 1s. growing in power. The heroin situation is no brighter. Despite some higt ly-skilled police work, nationally © and internation some brilliant dlplomatlc negotiations with Turkey, Ya Laos, France and other lands, and truly extensive pel tration of some international heroin syndicates, there is no sign the drug traffic is broken or going into a decline; | , All this is true despite the strategxcally sensible deci- sion to concentrate on the major syndicates and on , find- ing the weak links in those syndicates. Thus the effort has not been spread overly thin by pusher and user, which would have geleng after every n like dipping water out of the ocean with a teaspoon. What we must have now is a many—concentrated re- search effort, comparable with sending a man- to the Moon, aimed at discovermi in breaking up illegal gam just what would be effective ling and the heroin trade. - Should this research cost $50 billion over the next decade, it would, if successful he ch price. »° For, as noted above, alone add up to an estimated \at double the' d bling and heroin ion a year and pro- vide the base for other crimes costing the citizen several tens of billions of dollars & ear additionally in direct costs and more billions in pu lic & and private police and other protective services.

The five have been meeting among themselves but so far haven't reached a consensus on ' just what should go before the voters. But all of them agree that there will be some charter change proposed on the voting machines in November. Mayor John V. Lindsay has not commented on the various plans of the borough presidents, but he said recently that he did not think the voters should be asked to decide such questions. He thinks they should be decided by officials and elected repre- sentatives. y In this case, that. would mean the state legislature, which has shown no inclination to act on the matter.
