It said in a statement that Smith, who ha3 been attorney general since Reagan took office in January 1031, submitted his resignation in a private meeting with Keshan h-t Wednesday. Smith, the sixth Keaan Cabinet member to resign, said in a letter to the president released by the White House that he wanted to be able to take part jn Reagan's reelection campaign without facing charges of conflict of interest. Reagan is expected to announce in a televised address Sunday that he will seek a second term. The resignation of Smith will take effect with Senate confirmation of a successor, White House spokesman Larry Speakcs said. Execution proccca cliortened WASHINGTON The Supreme Court Mon day eliminated one step in the process often used by death row inmates to delay their exe cutions, signaling growing impatience with lengthy appeals against death sentences. In a 7-2 opinion, the court ruled that lower appeals courts need not conduct a so-called "propor tionality review" in capital cases before hand ing down death sentences. In such a review, appeals courts examine a death sentence to decide whether it is consist ent with sentences given to people convicted of similar crimes under similar circumstances elsewhere in the state. Fedo brcal: up cocaine ring WASHINGTON Federal investigators have broken the largest cocaine trafficking ring in U.S. history, charging 30 people in connection with the operation, Attorney General William French Smith announced Monday. Smith said a federal grand jury in Atlanta in an indict ment unsealed Monday charged that the cocaine ring had smuggled about five tons of the drug from Colombia into the United States since June 1982. The indictment charged the drug trafficking organization was headed by Harold Rosenthal of Atlanta who escaped to Colombia from a federal prison in Memphis, Tenn., in 1931.

LOS ANGELES Rats can become problem drinkers, says Dr. Gaylor Ellison, a professor of psychology. Ellison, of the University of Cali fornia, Los Angeles, is using airnnsls to help him in his research into alcoholism and to link his research more closely with human behav ior. Liiison has given his rats their own bar. The rats have their own private living quar ters burrows an eating area and a recrea- . tional area, with ramps and ropes for climbing, as well 3 the bar. The bar contains six drink- . fe.g spouts three that provide an alcohol . solution flavored with anise and three that provide only water, Ellison said hts studies show, most of the rat colony drink the hr,rd stuff in moderation but nine percent become problem drinkers. His research showed the heavy drinkers in the rat colony not unill-ce their human counterparts eat less than their colleagues, spend more time in their bur rows, drink mostly in the morning and slip .down the social scale.
