reducing opium production in Northern Thailand. Mr Newman, the minister
responsible for drug control in Austral~;a, was speaking after a tour of a
- village in the opium-growing region of Thailand near the Burmese border. He
said efforts were continuing to introduce substitute cash crops like coffee

~ECRUITMF,NT OI' INDIANS FOR DRUG PRODUCTION
Bogota EL TIEMPO in Spanish 24 Feb 82 p 9A
[Text] Indian communities of the country announced here yesterday in a mes-
sage sent to the Feace Commission, that in the last few months the m;.fia and
the guerrillas have united in a"war of extermination."
The former goverzor of the Jambalo reservation, Emilio Ejuegia, informed EL
TIEMPO that the gangs of narcotics traffickers are arming the Indians iri a
"~aar which has no end."
He indicated that the gang members encourage th e Indians with money to sow
coca. in different areas in the country thus abandoning the traditional crops
such as corn and cassava..
He explained that on the Jambalo reservation the Indians had coca for per-
sonal use, but in the last few months they have set it all up as a business,
supported economically by the.gangs.
He denounced also the landlords for promoting the coca business. This,in the
long run~will create an Indian society which will be continually breaking
the law by possessing coca crops or money.
The gangs have gradually convinced the Indians that planting coca is economi-
cally more fruitful than planting corn or cassava, or even engaging in cattle
raising.
The Indian chief likewise advised that the guerrillas are making~the land-
owners eliminate the Indians with their pillaging in important, areas of Cauca.
fle suggested that a means of pacifying these regions is for the government
to grant lands to th e Indians to farm with traditional crops.
The document notes that "today, for us, violence has acquired new forms and
_ dimensions. How ever, for the Indians it means a new episode of the wa.r which
for centuries they have had to contend with."
- They have also noted that with the passage of time, the diff erent tribes
- that exist in the country, have been dying out little by little.

T~~ey maintain that the action of ttie lanclowners, day by day, has been putting
the Indians in the category of rustic, ignorant people, incapable of managing
on their own, or simply savages.
T:Zey declared that in recent years a psychological and juridical war is ceing
waged against the country's Indian communities," especially the Paez.
He revealed that in the last few weeks, 19 of these Indians have died in the
Jambalo reservation due to .*_he war unleashed by the landowners.
They maintained that there are several Indians detained in the prisons of
- Jambalo, Santander, and the Third Brigade, accused of being invaders or
guerrillas. They explained likewise that another form of the war of exter-
mination against the Paez has been the ecanomic boycott carried out against
them, especially on the landowners' haciendas.
in the document they denounce the "infiltration of the Indian communities by
Catholic missionaries from the Convention of Missi.ons and of the Summer
Institute of Linguistics."
The note says we understand that the search for peace cannot be reduced to
a pact betweeu chiefs in arms nor to a mere 'cease-f ire' rather it should be
based on an effort of questioning and collective analysis which leads to
_ changes which make it possible to live in this country."
The note concludes: "in this respect there already exists in Congress a docu-
ment which summarizes the thought of the Indian authorities of Cauca, Narino
and YuLUmayo, who were then undertaking a march by Indian governors from the
great Cumbal~ on the southern frontier, to Bogota."

PAP LEADERS DENY DRUG TRAFFICKING INVOLVEMENT
Lima EL COMERCIO in Spanish 18 Feb 82 p A-4
[Article: "PAP Leaders Deny Links With the Drug Traffic"]
[Text] Armando Villanueva and Fernando Leon de Vivero, leaders of the APRA
[American Revolutionary Popular Alliance], stated yesterday that the
accusations of an alleged link between the APRA and narcotiics trafficking
and the Langberg case were a government plot designed to do damage and to
ccver up its loss of prestige which, in their view,.the government party is
' suffering from, due to its policies.
Nevertheless, Leon de Vivero admitted that he was a friend of the
controversial Langberg and that he had visited him several times. He also
admitted that his friend Jorge Idiaquez and the Manco Capac construction firm .
bought the Villa Mercedes and that the persons ~llegedly linked to the
narcotics traffic must make a report to the Department of Discipline.
At a press conference held at the APRA office or Alfonso Ugarte Avenue,
basically called to deny the charges against the APRA and some oz its leaders
which the magazine C~'U.tETAS made, Villanueva del Campo said that he firmly
rejected all the charges, in the name of his party.
He maintained that the campaign had no other purpose tnan to interfere in
some way with the meeting scheduled for tomorrow by that section of the APRA
and to distract public attention "from the disastro us policy of the govern-
ment."
~ Villanueva del Campo added that the aim of the government is to conceal "the
turnover of the oil enterprises to the multinational companies, the increases
I~ in food prices, and the failure of the call for co ns~ltations."
I He said that there is government involvement in all this, because when the
' mag~zine CARETAS brought out a similar report on Langberg in October 1980,
~ the government never took action to ensure that the appropriate authorities
would begin legal action in the case.
"I ask: why was the government silent then, and f urthermore I call on it
to answer. This shows that there is complicity of silence," Villanueva del
, Campo stated emphatically.

He recalled that something similar happened with the government under Manuel
Odria, rememU ering that in February 1950, accusations were also made against
Vic~~r Raul Haya de la Torre as an alleged narcotics trafficker.
He s;ii.d that everything was done to prevent Haya de la Torre from receiving
a visa to l.eave the Colombian ~mbassy, where he had taken refuge. "However~,
later l~e coas absolved of the charge by The Hague Tribunal, the same body which
was originally against him as a result of obvious interference," he stated.
He then denied that the controversial Carlos Langberg was a member of the
APRA. Fiowever, ne observed that it makes him think a great c~Pdl that the
press says notliing about the friendship between Andres T~~wnsend Ezcurra and
his brother-in-law, Francisco Diez Canseco, and Langberg.
"We do not co nsider friendship a crime, and I can say that I met Langberg at
the time oF the death of Haya de la Torre. On the other hand Townsend had
lcnown Langherg for some time before that," he indicated.
He rejected that story that Langberg paid for Haya de la Torre's medical
treatment i.n tlie United States, statir.g that the first of the two trips Haya
de la Torre Paid f~r himself, "and the second trip was rinanced by members
ot the AYP.A and Venezuelan friends."
Regarding the payment oF services to the Houston clinic where Haya.de la
Tor.re W1S treated, he said ttiat party member Lui~ Pinillos took care of them
in Large part and that the rest came as a contribution from ~he mass of
~PI2~ member.s .
He also rejected the view expressed by the former presidential candidate that
Langber~ himself financed his campaign in the 1930 elections, spending
millions of sols, noting that "that is completely false, and if someone
insists on saying that, I challenge h m to prove it in court."
Nevertheless, he agreed that suppart from Langberg came through a group of
Mexican technicians who were specialists in broadcasting.
_ Leon de Vivero
Wlien Leon de Vivero was asked about his friendship with Langberg, he replied,
"Yes, I know him, and I'm not afraid of saying that. It's not a crime to
know him."
Fie said that in effect he had made several visits to Langberg, although it
w:~s for the purpose of. correcting "or providing orientation to publications
which made reference to the APRA, as indeed I did with other newspapers."
He pointed o ut immediatcly afterwards that he had not been s ubjected to
party discipline because of the accusation in CARETAS. However, he stated
that ~t his request there is an investigation underway by the Department
of Discipline.

Silva, ar.~l he himself would have occasion to present a report to the
Department of Discipline. "However, inves~tigating does not mean finding
someone guilty, nor can it affect ~he rights ~f an individual, requiring an
innocent man to prove his innocence," he said.
Regarding the building known as the Villa Mercedes, which belonged to the late
Iiaya de la Torre, he said that a one-fift~? share in that residence was
purchased by Idiaquez, "who made a list to cancel the joint purchase."

1?IP COCAINE SEIZURE--The PIP [Peruvian Investigative Police] detacl:ment at
the airport yesterday stopped the shipment of 33 kg o~ cocaine valued at
- 150 million sols which two Peruvians were attempting to take to Bogota. This
happened at 2:00 pm, when all the passengers from a commercial jet of
Venezuelan registrati~~:~ had already presented their passports to the
immigration authorities. Two of the passenge:rs were acting strangely, as a
result of which the PIP became suspicious and asked them to come to their
ofFices at the airport. When their suitcases were ~nened, no less than 33 kg
of cocaine were found, wrapped in various plastic-covered pack~ges,
distributed among their personal effects. During the interrogation to which
they were subjected separately both individuals appeared to be confused and
were unable to bring out any ready justification for tre drugs which they
were taking to Colombia. In fact it is believed that the two people arrested
identified themselves with false personal documents. One said he was Luis
- Antonio Castillo Guzman (52), a painter; the second said he was Pedro Daniel
Flores Herrera (60). [Text] [Lima EL COMERCIO in Spanish 20 Feb 82 p A-10]

FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY
BRIEFS
FEWER DRUG-RELATED DEATHS--According to a Federal Government report to the Bundestag
interior committee, drug-related deaths have steadily declined in recent years.
623 deaths were recorded in 1979, 494 in 198U and 360 last year. It is estimated
that hard drug consumers have declined from 50,000 in 1980 to 45,000 last year, while
the incidence of drug offenaes dropped by 0.8 percent. The trend on the German
drug scene thus displays some satisfactory aspects. According to the government
this is due in large measure to the efforts of the security agencies. It remains
to be seen, though, whether a real turnaround is in progress. Last year some.
6.7 tons of marijuana products, mainly hashish, were confiscated, double the 1980
volume. As for heroin, the most dangerous of all narcotics, 93 kg were seized in
1981 compared with 267 kg in 1980. It is reported that, at ~least temporarily,
little heroin was available on the market. The reason: The need for Turkish citi-
zens to have visas to enter Germany and considerable efforts by the Turkish author-
i.ties. The fight against narcoti.;~ smuggling is encouraged by training and equip-
ment aid to foreign police and custon:s agencies. A treaty with Turkey is to be
followed b~ agreements with other count:ies in Asia and the Mediterranean region.

FRANKFURT DEALER SENTENCED--Drug dealer Joseph Amiel, 40, of Israeli origin and
known by the alias "Big Joe" went on trial and Frankfurt and was sentenced to
9 years' detention on the first day. The defendant had pleaded ~~uilty. "I did not
have the fainte:st idea of wtiat narcotics mean in terms of crime and misery; now I
know what I ha~ve done," he said. The restaurant owner from Tel Aviv was the founder
and leader of a ring of heroin traders, dealing in drugs from April 1974 to March
1975 in Frankfurt, Amsterdam and London. In Frankfurt in 1976 nine members of the
group received prison sentences of up to 9~ years; "Big Joe" had escaped fro~r *he
remand prison Dieburg shortly before the trial began. He and his family found re-
fuge in Argentina, but his children's governess "denounced" him to the police, and
he was sentenced to 5 years for passport offenses. Immediately after finishing his
sent~nce which he described in Frankfurt as "torture," he was extradited to Germany
last autumn. Defense counsel regretted that it was not possible to credit Amiel's
5 years jail in Argentina to the Frankfurt penalty. tiowever, in view of the com-
prehensive confession counsel hoped that Amiel mi~ht be pardoned in 3-4 years, en-
abling him to return to Israel and his family. /Text/ %~`rankfurt/Main FRANKFURTER

GF.R?~tAN ADDICTS IN EIMSTERDAAt--More than 700 German drug addicts, permanent residents
in Amsterdam, are causing increasing concern to the city and the German assistance
_ association there. The association reported last Friday that the Dutch Government
, tiad expressed a wish for the Federal Republic to help pay for the care given these
peo7le (although, accarding to international agreements, the "host country"--howeve~
involt~ntarily--has responsibility for them). "If no decision is taken within the
fort.seeable future, we will have to close down," said a spokesman of the association.
About 70 percent of the German addicts have yet another handicap: They have criminal
records, are subject to supervision as parolees, should have to go to prison in the
FRG to serve their sentences or go on trial there. Almost 30 percent have escaped
from a treatment facility or therapeutic community. That is why not all dare go to
the assistance association, and its five staff inembers must actually take to the
streets to find those most in need. Among the 1,5C~J-2,000 aliens on the Amsterdam
drug scene, the largest contingent is provided by Germ~n women. Not a few of these
girls--and even young men--earn their keep by prostitution. Hardly a day passes
without the association and a parallel Church organization treating ~ome 20 addicts
in tlle building at Prinsengracht 148. The helpers there have just over half the
money at their disposal that would be available to them in Germany. It is not
lcr?own yet wllether the influx of aliens will diminish consequent upon the recent:ly
- issued request by the Dutch authorities to physicians to prescribe the much coveted
methadone only to native addicts. Quite a few Germans have by now been "fully in-
tegraeed," spealc Dutch with an Amsterdam accent. Heroin is on sale all over the
country, and judges are usually fairly easy-going. Every year 10-20 ~oung Germans
die of an overdose in Amsterdam hotels and rooming houses. /Text/ /Frankfurt/Main

THRL=E POLICE COhiMISSIONERS ON DRUG PROBLEM, REMEDIES
Arr?sterdam ELSE"v'IERS r9AGAZINE in Dutch 27 Feb 82 pp 44-50
(Group interview with J. Valken, C.N. Pei~ster, and A. Vermeij by Coen van Harten
- and Jan Heinemans]
' [Excerpts] Petty crime and hard drugs. How safe are our big
cities? The investigation--is it real.investigation or just
registration of crime? Do policemen in troublesome cities
have a right to higher pay? And what are the police unions
up to=-you hardly ever used to hear of them, but nowadays
they clamorously make known their dissatisfactions. What
is wrong with the policemen's training--are they put out on
t}ie street too young? And what must we do about the new
police law? These are subjects that came up~for discussion
in a frank round-table talk that ELSEVIERS had with the "big
three": the chief police commissioners of Amsterdam, The
- Ilague, and Rotterdam: J. Valken, Dr C.N. Peijster, and A.
Vermeij .
'I'hat is shown by the more intensive police presence in the most dangerous square
l;ilometer of the Amsterdam inner city. What is happening on the Seawall also
s~tc~i~~s that an unimaginably high percentage of petty crime has to do directly
witi~ clrug problems. In spite.of all the methadone treatments and welfare work-
crs, heroin use and with it (conseQuently) crime are increa,sing hand over fist.
Discussion of the drug problem goes more and more in the direction of supplying
pure heroin grati~, through socialized medicine, to registered (Netherlands)
junkies. 'fhe big three all seem to be proponents of that.
Valken: That would deal a death-blow to the drug traffic, but to me registra-
tion and.supervision are absolute conditions, and meanwhile it is important for
~omething to be done ahout the problem of the drug user.
I'cijstcr: I find it primarily a medical question. You have a right to.expect
it oE the physicians involved that they will act conscientiously; i.e., not be
mer.�c suppliers, but also always keep an eye on the user's interests, and in any
case always offer him the opportunity tv kick the habit.
Vermeij: It is important to ksep talking with the addict, and registered sup-
~~ly offers optimal opportunities f.or that.

Valken: ~Ve are dealing here ~aith an incalculabl~ problem. In Amsterdam there
arc 3,000 registered addicts, but in reality there are several times that many
--over 10,000.
Ve~mcij: Ancl think of the amount of stealing and robbing all those people have
to cio to get their daily dose of 300 u;~its. 'I'11ey are bringing grief on them-
ticlves, those a.round them, and societ.y.
lVl~enever a kilogram of heroin is seized, ecstatic press releases are handed out.
l31it even record seizures are small potatoes viewed against the background of the
imr.iense turllover iii this "white circuit." Those arrested turn out without ex-
cel~tion to bc nai.ve or accidentally caught couriers or users who are trying to
finance their own consumption this way--small fish. The big bosses, who alone
ccul operate in this racket with investments of millions, go free. Investigators
kno~~ their i~arnes but fail in every effort .to provide proof. The detective
- a~encies liave made Minister of Justice De Ruiter aware of this "kno~vledge." For
tl~at reason tlie ?ninister proposes to the Second Chamber to proceed to a jurid-
ical 111110V~ltlOil. In the Netherlands the concept of conspiracy exists solely
in COIlilCCt1011 ~�~ittt crzmes against the state and t]Ze Royal House. In all other
r_riraes, before anyone ~an be considered suspect--let alone guilty--at least a
start~ raust luive been naue in committing the act. This fact is regarded as one
oF tlle fot~ndations of legal security. Hence De Ruiter's proposal to introduce
the consl~iracy concei~t i.nto the opium law as well may be characterized as
start 1 in~;.
Pe:ijster (like a minister of justice at heart): I do not believe yoti can sup-
press the drug traffic by juridical measures. It is a di:-?,:~_:.ion of the possi-
bilities open to the police and the courts; you would be stupidly creating a
ne~ti~ cri.mc.
Vall:en (does see something in De Ruiter's plans): It is not a salvation, of
course, but perhaps it is one of the ways to reach a solution. We must follow
various paths: free drug dispensing, but also more possibilities of repression.
- The narcotics squads are Powc;rless, and with the normal orthodox methods of de-
tectioi~ you have not the ghost of a c}iance of catching the big boys.
Peijster: I am allergic to that call for. overhai~ling the law. As soon as a
little offshoat of the RAF [Red Army Faction (Baader-h9ei.nhof Group)] is traced
li~rc, cveryl~ocly Leti:ins to shout for a conspiracy law. Then you are deali.ng

~~roblem, but thc j~ublic essentially does. The fate of the tens of thousands
