Speaking on a BBC-TV program, Killanin said it was "Moscow or nowhere" and explained it would cost the IOC millions of dollars if it broke its contract with the Russians. However, Olympic officials from Canada and the United States said a switch from Moscow was still a possibility, and would be discussed at an IOC meeting in Lake Placid in early February.

Nahas, professor of anesthesiology at ij the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, said a( least five groups of people should be warned against using marijuana: people with lung or heart disorders, adolescents, women of child-bearing age, epileptics, and people with a tendency toward schizophrenia and mental illness. But Dr. Lester Grinspoon, associate professor of psvchiatry at Harvard Medical School, said. "The chronic use of marijuana does not do serious damage to the body or mind." In prepared testimony, he said marijuana is "markedly safe" compared with alcohol and drugs. He also discounted researchers who say it permanently alters the mind or personality. The Senate will likely vote this year on an overall proposal to revise the federal criminal code, part of which contains a section softening the penalties for the possession of small amounts of marijuana. Presley possible addict MEMPHIS, Tenn.?Prescriptions issued in Elvis Presley's name indicate the entertainer was at least drug dependent and possibly a narcotics addict, a Memphis physician told the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners. "There is a substantial number of different families of drugs, all of which adds up to a horrendous number," said Dr. Eugene J. Sciotta. He testified Wednesday about a list of prescriptions written for Presley by Dr. George Nichopoulos. "The numbers...seem to escalate," Sciotta said. "It would appear he was drug dependent. If he got everything prescribed here...he was narcotics addict." Sciotta was called as a state witness in a hearing on charges that Nichopoulos, Presley's physician for 11 years, illegally prescribed excessive amounts of drugs for 16 patients including the late singer. If found guilty by the medical board, Nichopoulos could lose his license to practice medicine. Sciotta, like Nichopoulos, a specialist in internal medicine, was critical of his colleague's use of amphetamines and sedatives, such as Quaalude, in treating patients. Escapee chauffered VIPs RALKIG1I, N.C\?.James Lee Walton says he j chauffeured Ronald Reagan last fall in Washington. He even got his autograph. Walton, 57, escaped from prison 13 years ago while serving a sentence for murder. On Wednesday, he turned himself in to Wake County Sheriff John Baker. He was known in Washington as Wilbert Lee Walton, taking a brother's name after his escape. During his 13 years on the run, Walton worked as a cook, as a maintenance supervisor in John Mitchell's Justice Department, as a chauffeur for National Academy of Sciences President Philip Handler and as a free-lance chauffeur for widely-known people j! ranging from federal judge David Bazelov to Frank Sinatra, he said. !

A clerk in the high court said documents calling for Roach. 19, to be electrocuted were sent to the state Corrections Department this morning. Normal procedures call for the execution to be | carried out on the fourth Friday after the papers are received by the Corrections Department, Feb. 8 in this case. But due to appeals, no execution is expected on that date. Roach, of Seneca, and Joseph C. Shaw. 24. of Crestwood, Ky., pleaded guilty in December 1977 to murder and other charges in the deaths of two Columbia teen agers. Both were sentenced to die. The U.S. Supreme Court denied Shaw's appeal first, and an execution date of Dec. 14 was set. A federal appeals judge stayed the execution just 18 hours before it was to have been carried out. Roach's appeal before the U.S. Supreme Court was a wide-ranging document alleging that the death penalty would be cruel and inhuman punishment for the youth, whom his attorneys describe as "emotionally immature."

Call for 'living will' COLUMBIA?Stating that the elderly have "so much to fear in life, they should not have to fear death," Rep. Harriet Keyserling helped pursuade a House committee to keep alive a bill that she says provides for death with dignity. On an 11-8 vote, the Judiciary Committee agreed Tuesday to send the so-called "Living Will" measure to the full House despite a subcommittee's unanimous recommendation that it be killed. The bill would allow a nprcnn tr? nrnwirlo ir? - . _ ..

Keyserling noted that the measure is backed by several senior citizens groups. "These are the people who are facing something that many of you...probably don't even think about," the Beaufort County Democrat said. Noting that the elderly are vulnerable to crime and the effects of inflation, she urged the rommittp#* nnf in add death to the list of things they fear.
