WORKFORCE DRUG ABUSE--Australia is leading the world in industry programs tio
- combat thz i.mmense problem of alcohol and drug dependenc~ in the workforce,
the Australian Foundation on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence said yesterday.
The executive director of the foundation, ~Ir Pierre Stolz, said a national con-
. ference in Sydney this week would dra+a up a blueprint For a national strategy to
combat the problem. "Australia differs from most other countries in that it has
a national network of services to deal with alcoholism and drug abuse in the -
workforce," he said. "Also it differs in that the frontline of the programs�-- -
unions and employees--is esseentially non-governmental. The impact of the pro-
grams has been very good and we hope by 1984 to have reached one-third of the
_ workforce." The conference, Occupational Drug and Alcohal Programs, is the
second of its kind to bring together industry to compare programs. The founda- ~
tion estimates alcohol and drug addiction costs industry $1000 million a year.
~ � This immense loss is due to lost production time, absenteeism, industrial acci-
dents and other p roblems. The foundation believes the abuse of alcohol and other -
- drugs has reached epidemic proportions, directly affecting the lives of 500,000
people. [By Sue Cook] [Text] [Canberra THE AUSTRALIAN in English 27 Apr 81 p 5]

with possession on April 25 of $2,478 in Co~mmonwealth banknotes suspected of being
- stolen ~r unlawfully obtained. Mr Bruce Brown, SM, ad~ourned the matter to May 1
for mention and refused bail. [Text] [Sydney THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD in

ZANIPp,~'LIONE APPEAL DECISION--A woman convicted of heroin charges could not be
_ treated more leniently than the men accused with her, simply on the ground of -
her se~, the Court of Criminal Appeal said yesterday. The court increased by
three years the original sentence imposed on her at her trial, and rejected her
appeals and those of three men who stood trial with her against their conviction
and substantial jail sentences. The woman, Helen Margaret Barnacle, 26, of
McGregor Street, Parkdale, was originally sentenced to 12 years' jail with a
minimum of eight years. The appeal court ordered the sentenced ircreased to 15

- DRUG SYNDIC~,TE SMASHED--Hongkong, May 4(UPI)--Hongkong customs officials believe
they have smaslned a Thai drug syndicate by arresCing seven drug couriers caught
with US$280,000 worth of heroin, reports said M~onday. Five of the T:ti couriers,
detained on the arrival from Bangkok on Saturday, were found with conuoms packed
with 900 grams of heroin concealed in their rectums, newspaper reports said.
, Another two of the couriers of the same syndicate were arrested at Hongkong's Ka.i
Talc Airport last month with 300 grams of heroin similarly hidden, according to
_ the reports. All seven ha.d the concealed drugs--worth US$280,000 in retail salps--
removed at the hospital. Each smuggler, posing as a tourist, had been promised
10,000 baht (US$500) if they succeeded in bringing the drugs into the British
colony, customs officials said. Cusaoms Investigations Bureau assistant super- _
- intendent, K.L. Ma.k said one of th~ arrested mer~ is alleged to be the organizer
and he is responsible for the re~ease of illicit drugs to Hongkong's traff ickers.
Most of the arrested had been in Hongkong at least twice this ye~r and a few,
including the alleged orgax~izer, were frequent visitors. Mak said the Hongkong
authorities will contact their Thai counterparts M~onday to check on the back-
grounds of the couriers and their associates in Thailand. ~Text~ ~Taipei THE -

GUVERNMENT ORUERS ARMY TO WITHDRAW FROM DRUG CONTROL
= PY200202 Buenos Aires LATIN in Spanish 0025 GMT 20 May 81
[TextJ La Paz, 19 May (LATIN-REUTER)--Bolivian President Gen Luis Garcia Meza today
or~ered the armed forces to withdraw f rom the fight against drug trafficking which will
henceForth be left in the hands of a p propriate existing agencies.
_ 'I'he information was carried in ttie newspaper ULTI~tA HORA and it was confirmed by a high- -
rankinF source i~i the military government, which made it clear that the decision does not
imply that the government will entire ly pull out of the fight against drug trafficking
in Solivil.
'['}~e so~irce told LATIN that the measure was adopted at the institutional level by the armed
forces in view of the lack of respon s e from international agencies and drug consuming -
countrtes interested in the repression of the drug traffic. -
According to the newspaper, General G arcia Meza had noted that despite all Che effort -
and sacrifices to uncover drug proces a ing factories, to arrest drug traffickers and to
~ seize cocaine and dollars, the armed f orces were pulled out of the fight against drug
trafficking because there. has been no support from drug-consuming countries. The source
also 9aid that 3u January the armed f arces took upon themselves the exceptiunal task of
- cooperating in the fight against dru~ trafficking. At the end of 1980, the government
- had anilounced the launching of an all- out internal campaign to do away with illegal drug
- trafficking and processing.
An intern:~tional agency h:is reported that drug trafficking represented about $1.66 million
in annual earn~,gs for Bolivia. Afte r launching ite campaign against drug trafflcking,
_ the Bol.ivian Gover,-~ment ha~ requested cooperation f rom all nations in this fight.
During tl~e last 2 months, more than 121 kilograms of cocaine Were seized, more Chan 164
persons were arrested, 16 houses or mansions and 16 rural properties were confiscated,
32 vehicles and 14 aircraft were seize d, as well as more than $1 mil].ion worth of ,jewelry,
' accor~itnp, to an officlal report.
- The I3oli.viaii Government has maintained that the fight against drug trafficking w~s not -
anl.y thc: problem of producing countries, but especially of consuming countriea. In early
Aprtl a new clrug cont m 1 law was promu lgated to impose more drastie sanetiona against
producers, traffickers and consumers.
The figliC against drug trafficking wa s etepped up in ttie wake of accusations that govern- -
ment officials were involved in it. Former Interior hiinister Col Luis Arce Gomez and
former Educatton Minister Col Ariel C o ca have been accused and they said they would defend
themselves from such accusations. Co 1 Norbert Salomon, who is Bolivian military attache '
in Venezuela, has aleo been aseuced.

BOLIVIAN COCAINE SEIZED NEAR CACERES _
Sao Paulo 0 ESTADO DE SAO PAULO in Portuguese 7 Apr 81 p 3i
[Text] Cuiaba--Federal police yesterday seized about 5 kg of pure cocaine, valued
at about 40 million cruzeiros, during an operation on the outskirts of the munici-
pality of Caceres, 600 km from Cuiaba. In the police action, in which members of
the Mato Grosso Military Police also took part, one of the traffickers, Venancio
Paessano, was killed and seven others were arrested.
The DPF [Federal Police Department] Superintendency released a bulletin reporting
that Venancio, "one of the ma3or crime figures, was killed resisting arrest. He
was carrying an automatic pistol." Arrested were Ma.nuel Ferreira Rosa, Moacir
Castro, Ailton Pecada de Lara, Gilberto de Lira Pereira, Nelson de Lima, Edir
Luciano Martins Manzano and Aparicio Pires.
"The drug," the official release continuea, "was acquired in Bolivia from a traf- -
ficker known as 'Dom Pape,' in exchange for a tractor, a wagon and two plows.
Once in Brazil, it was hidden on a farm belonging to the father-in-law of Aparicio
~ Pires, in Caceres, where it remained for several days while the ring made arrange-
ments to transport it to Sao Paulo. It was to be shipped on a Piper plane, regis- _
tration PT-IJW, piloted by Gilberto de Lira Pereira."
According to the federal police, the plane used a clandestine airstrip on Edir
_ Luciano's farm. One of the arrested men, Manuel Ferreira Rosa, was responsible
_ for moving 10 kg of cocaine per month, via Mato Grosso, and is one of the major
- suppliers for Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. "His profita were enormous, inasmuch
as 1 kg of cocaine acquired in Bolivia for 1.3 million cruzeiros was sold in other
centers for fi_ve times as much."
Iri addition, a police spokesman observed, the confiscated cocaine was pure, and
"before he sells it, the trafficker usually mixes the drug with other products,
producing 10 kg from only 1 kg of pure cocaine." The official notes concludes:
"With this action, Federal Police believe that all tr.e members of the ring have
been arrested, at least all the ones residing in Brazil."
DPF sources in Cuiaba reported, meanwhile, that the 5 kg seized was part of a
large shipment of about 2 tons, worth about 16 billion cruzeiros, "which is leav-
ing Bolivia for other countries and Brazil itself." _
In Rio, Federal police arrested Bolivians Aldo Agostiin Ocampo Bizaguirr, aged 21,
- and Jorge Germann Zapata Paredes, aged 22, as they were selling marihuana and
cocaine on Avenida Rio Branco. The turo men are in Brazil on student visas and
may be deported. _

Rio de Janeiro 0 GLOBO in Portuguese 14 Apr 81 p 11
_ (Text] Drug t.rafficker Jorge Ma.nuel da Silva, "Jorge Barracao," aged 40, was ar-
rested yesterday afternoon at a motel in Jacarepagua, with about 400 grams of
: cocaine. Barracao was one of the suppliers for trafficker Renato de Sr~usa Santos,
"Tonelada," arrested last year and sentenced to 24 years irl prison in Septembex~.
~ Maria da Penha Cruz da Silva, Barracao's wife, was arrested with "Tonelada" and
sentenced to 6 years at the same trial. Tonelada received the highest sentence
given a trafficker to date.
According to police of the DGIE (General Directorate of Speciai Invest~gations),
who arrested Barracao, he and Pedro Ribeiro, a trafficker on Morro da Santa Marta,
can provide information on the deaths of attorney Andre Luis and trafficker
Valdomiro Alves de Sousa, "Dudu," who are interred in the Favela de Varginha. ,
Barracao confessed that he ?~ad supplied narcotics to Pedro Ribeiro, "Escadinha"
and "Waldir Negao." Along with other gangsters, these three were named as being
responsible for the deaths of the attorney and trafficker "Dudu."
' Jorge Barracao was arrested at the Rainbow Motel, on the Bandeirantes Highway,
in the company of Cristiane Tarcia Matioli, aged 20. In his car, a 1980 Passat,
police .found a.38-caliber revol;rer, a sca'le and material to process the cocaine
for resale; waxed paper and Durex tape.
The pol:ice exF>lained th~t they had been on Barracao's trail for about 2 months.
YestPrday they received information that he was at the motel. A guard was set up
at the location early in the morning, to pick him up as he left. At 1400 hours, _
however, Barracao sent out for food, and three policemen took it to his room,
where they arrested him.
"We did not know whether or not he was alone. We were only sure of it when he
ordered only one meal. We did not try to break into the room because we wanted -
to avoid a repetition of the gun battle on Ilha do Governador." .
- Barracao had already been given a 10-year sentence in the lSth Criminal ~ourt for -
' drug trafficking. He said he sniffed cocaine "day and night," and that he became
a dealer after he was addicted. He also said he had no f ixed address, but spent
his days "in a motel, with a different woman every day." -

[Exr.erptJ Prestde.nt Julio Cesar Turbay Ayala today charged that an alliance exists
between subversTve groups and the narcotics maf ia aperating in Colombia, whoae
purpose is to confront the democratic institut~.ans and endanger the peace of the -
country.
The chief of state said ttiat the guerrillas collaborate in the transporting of drugs _
- while the narcotics traffickers, in turn, facilitate the supply of weapors, and he
maintained that this common criminal front is making it more difficult for the
government to preserve institutional peace, but he warned that "we will f ight them
_ by all means." -
Turbay Ayals. also reaffirmed the positions of his administration on de�ense of the
principle of nonintervention, saying that the free self-determination of nations
is a basic mechanism for a climate of peace and f or strengt~ening inst itut ions.
The chief executive met yesterday with several Italian newsmen who accompanied
Italian President Sandro Pertini to Bogota. Pertini is on an official 4-day visit
to Colombia. Several aspects of the national problem were discussed.
Terrorism r
- Alluding specif ically to joint action by the lterrorists and the mafia, Turbay Ayala
observed that it has been because of decisive action by the government that Colombia's
democratic institutions have been able to survive.
He said that had there n~t been an adequate and effective response from the authori- _
ties, unbridled terrorism and subversive activit ies, "would have toppled our in-

government instead of the democracy characterist ic of Colombia."
He also praised the campaign which has been launched against drugs, notwithstanding
the fact that the country lacks suffici~nt techn ical resources, and he said that
results in this field have been better than those achieved even by the Un ited States.
~"If it were not for that re~olute and vigorous campaign which we are wag3ng on both
land and sea, thQ country would be greatly affected by this delicate s~.tuation. 0~
course, we must continue the battle without flincfiing," President Tur~ia~ added.

The Colombian chief executive also revealed that more than 1,000 aircraft, boats -
and land vehicles used for the purpose ot narcotics traffj.ckirtg by U.S. and Colombian .
citizens have b~en captured and that at the present time more than 2,000 persons, _
` almost half of Lhem U.S. citizens, are under arrest for such crimes. _
Turbay Ayala co~mnented that the defeats suffered by the narcotics traffic under his
administration have been severe, but the fact that it is still going on gives a
clear idea of the huge economic resources at the disposal of t he criminals, pro-
- portionately many times greater than those available to the govemment itself.
- After admitting that the amount of money at stake in the narcotics trafficking is -
certainly impressive, President T~rbay emphasized that the campaign must continue,
because this evil, like underdevelopment and ignorance, will not disappear in a y~ar
- or two, but rather demands persistent action. -

RETURN OF TRAFFICKER AIRCRAFT INVESTIGATED
Bogota EL ESPECTADOR in Spanish 8 Apr 81 p 13-A
- [Text] The Higtier Council of Judges and the Office of the Attorney General of the -
- Natj.on have begun investigation into the circumstances undsr ~h~.ch judge 18 of the
_ criminal court in Puerto Lopez Municipality ordered the return of an aircraft which
had been :impounded by the DAS [Administrative Department of Security] under suspicion -
of being used in the transportation of marihuana and other drugs from tne Depar.*,nent
of N[eta t~~ points outside the country.
The aircraft, a bimotor Aerocommander turboprop model 690-A, with Mexican registra-
tion XB-XUC, was seized by DAS agents assigned to Meta Department on the Las
Margaritas ranch located in the jurisdiction of Chaviva, Puerto Lopez, on 20 February
1981. -
Although the crew of the aircraft escaped, a police search of the plane's interior _
turned up marihuana residue, the presence of which led them to conclude that the air-
craft was used in narcotics trafficking. -
The investigation was begun by 3udge 17 of the criminal circu it court, but for
jurisdictional reasons it had to be prosecuted by ~udge 18 of the same branch lo-
cated in .i'uerto Lopez who, although he was virtually ignorant of the identity of
- the plane's owners, ordered it to be turned over to Humberto Ospina Fayad, in a
decision dated 21 March 1981.
Whil.e the investigation was going on, the background of the case was turned over to _
the Legal Section of the Meta government for investigation, pursuant to Decree 2144 -
- of 1978, of the possibility of viol.ation of airspace, a violation which clearly had
been committed, since the craft entered the country without a�light plan and with-
- out permission irom the civil aeronautics department.
The Regional Attorney General's Office entered the case when it became aware of the _
_ violation of Decree 1188 of 1974, which was authorized by the National Narcotics
Statute.
The order to deliver the plane, given by the aforementioned off icial, is being in-
vestigated, as already stated, by the Attorney General's Office and the Higher
Council of Judges.
