Express Staff Writer
Tom Riddle, president of
the Oklahoma Firefighters
Union, said he did not advise
the Chickasha firefighters on
any of the points the
firefighters decided on to go
into arbitration with the city.
"There is absolutely no
conspiracy involved in the
case between the Chickasha
firemen and the city," Riddle
said. "My personal response
to statements made by
Chickasha City Manager
Jack Weaver about some
statewide effort on the part of
the Oklahoma Firefighters is
that he should concentrate on
the issues of arbitration
between Chickasha and the
firemen.”
Riddle .said the Oklahoma
Firefighters Union is part of
the International Association
of Firefighters which is af-
filiated with the AFL-CIO
The Oklahoma organization
which has been active in
Oklahoma for 60 years has 35
local unions; with ap-
methaqualone — a potent
sedative that falls under
strict federal controls — for
his chief aide, Ellen Metsky.
Ms. Metsky said she asked
that her identity be kept
private, because of the nature
of her work, and Bourne
complied by listing her as
"Sarah Brown."
When Toby Long of
Washington, D.C., a friend,
last week tried to have the
prescription filled as a favor,
a druggist in the northern
Virginia county of Prince
William became suspicious
the accurate name of a
patient buying such drugs.
“I have consulted legal
counsel and believe that what
I have done was neither
legally nor morally wrong,"
Bourne said in a statement
issued by the White House
press office.
Bourne, a psychiatrist, is a
38-year-old native of England
and a long-time aide and
adviser to Carter. While
Carter was governor of
Georgia, Bourne was his
adviser on mental health, and
was the architect of that
state’s program against drug
abuse.
When he assumed his
position in Washington,
Carter said during a Rose
Garden ceremorty that
Bourne was “the warld's
foremost expert on drugs."
Presidential press
secretary Jody Powell said
Bourne would be paid while
he was on leave — about
$51,000 a year.

WASHINGTON (UPI) -
Dr. Peter Bourne, hailed by
President Carter as the
"world’s foremost expert" on
drugs when sworn in as his
health adviser, is on leave of
absence with pay today
because of a police probe into
a prescription he gave a
White House staffer.
Bourne, who acknowledges
using a pseudonym for his
patient's real name, could
face up to five years in jail if
authorities decide to
prosecute him and there is a
conviction.
Insisting he did nothing
"legally or morally wrong,”
Bourne took a leave Wed-
nesday night "because of my
... concern that these im-
plications not interfere with
the effective operations of the
White House."
The president’s health and
drug abuse adviser wrote a
