PASSPORT DEVICE TO FOIL FORGERY, HELP STEM DRUG IlMPORTING
Melbourne THE AGE in English 28 May 82 p 1
[Article by Stephen Mil].s]
[Ter.t] CANBERRA--Metallic strips will be incorporated in Australian passports
to make them more difficult to forge and alter.
The strips will also allow passport officials to check the stated personal
details of *he traveller against information in a centralised computer system.
The measure is part of Covernment attempts to halt abuse of passports by criui-
inals, including drug traffickers.
An interim report of the Royal Commission on drug trafficking, tabled in
Parliament yesterday, said passport abue was serious and ccontinuing, and
recommended wide-ranging measures to combat it.
The report of Mr Justice Stewart said he had grave doubts whether the Depart-
ment of Forefgn Affairs knew how serious the problem of passport abuse was.
The commission is investigating the activities of alleged international heroin
- t�rafficker Terrence .Tohn Clark and his associates.
Mr Justice Stewart said in his report it had become clear that illegal activi-
ties had been facilitated by Clarke's u$e of false Australian passport. He
recommended automatic cancellation of passports held by convicted drug traf-
fickers. In no circumstance should production of a birth certificate alone
be accepted as proof of identity for issue of a passport. Passports should
not be issued en bloc +to travel agents or by post, presently the case for
about two-thirds of passports issued.
Mr Justice Stewart warned that tightening passport-issuing procedures would
cause some inconvenience to citizens.
The Acting Foreign Affairs Minister, Senator Dame MArgaret Guilfoyle, told
Parliament that the Government would consider recommendations carefully.
She listed the steps the Government had taken since 1976 to eliminate abuse, w
such as centralising and computerising records, and laminating of passporte
tn prevent alterations.

the report. A spokesman for the department said the report did not give enough
recognition to the steps that had already been taken.

Customs officers are
awaiting the arrival of
a container vessel sus-
pected of carrying more
drugs for the "sacks of
tlour" syndicate which
they smashed on
FCIdBy .
And more seizures have
becn made in connection
with :i soft drugs syndicate
- simultaneously smashed
a!legedly involved in
trjffiuhing in the Tsimsha-
tsui area.
A total of 45 kgs of heroin
basc, worth $23 million if convcrt-
cd to number thrce heroin, was
rctricved from lhrce sacks of ricc
flour after customs officers
.earched 1,200 bags in a Tokwa-
..�an premiscs from Friday until
earlv vcsterdav.
~'cn pcrwns were yuestioned in
the couroe of anquiries 3nd three
of them heve subsequcntly bcen
charged with ession of danger-
ous drugs or the purpose of
unlawful traffckmg.
T6e three are to nppear at Sart
Po Kong Magiatrecy on Monday
morning.
Five of those detaincd have
been released on police bail pend-
ing further enquiries by Customs
officers and the othcr two were
turned loose.
At lcast haif of the 1,200 (lour
bags searched in the Tokwawan
store room arrived on a container
vessel from Bangkok via Singa-
pore.
The operetion began after an
offcer at the Kwai (:hung con-
tainer terminal discovered, during
a routine inspection on Wedncs-
day, that one of the sacks had a
second layer.
"We are expecting another
shipment' which may wcll conccal
more drugs for the samc syndi-
cate; ' the head of the Customs
Investigation Buresu, Scnior
Superintendent K.S. Tong, said
yesterday.
It is the second largest seizurc
of heroin base in Hongkung. Thc
largest wns made eerlier this, ycar
when 73 kg of hcroin basc was

to go ahead in a bid to treck down
the importera - and the mastcr-
minds.
In the Tsimahatsui aoft drugs
case, another 3,000 Mandrax tab-
lets were seized from a storage
centre in San Po Kong esrly yes-
terday, and a further 265 tablets
were discovered in an officc on
Hongkortg island, bringing thc
total haul to 5,265.
The teblets sell for S8 to $IO
eacn on the black market.
After the raid on the Hong-
kong office, three people were dc-
tained for quatiomng.
Sen Supt Tong said one oP
them is to be charged with posscs-
sion of dangerous drugs for pur-
poses of unlawful traffcking.
Another 86 kg of a part one
poison, ephedrinc hydrochloride,
which is used in makmg ampheta-
mines, were also scizcd.
Customs officers believe that
the ephedrine arrived from China
falsely declarcd as chemicals and
possibly destined ta bc tranx-ship-
ped tu uther countrics in thc rc-
gion.
CSO: 5320/9133
The nids were sparked after
customs � offioen arrested a man
outside a Tsimshataui hotel with
2.000 Mandrax tableta in his pos-
session.
They searched medicine
doropamoa, book stalls and prem-
iaea betieved to bu used for storing
the drugs. By Iaet night, a total of eight
peopfe had been detained and eia
of them charged_ in connection
with the Mandrax mvestigations.
Sen Supt Tong said that the
crack-downs on both the heroin
base syndicate and the soA drugs
syndicate were likely to affect the
black4narket price of drugs.
"Once a method has been de-
tected, such as hiding drugs in
sacks of Ilour, drug syndicates
cannot &o on using it; " he said.
Sigmficantly, the Cnancier,
consignee and the person who
ordere8 the container shipment of
rice Oour are bo-lieved to h~ve been
caught.
Containerised cergoes
make the task of finding
thaae responsible for illegal
shipments particularly dif-
fcult.
Customs ofGcers are still
looking for-the 3ocal chemist
of the heroin bau ayndicate.
And uniformed officers
:pent much of yeaterday re-
placing the flour epilt from
the 1,200 baga searched in
the Tokwewan :tore. They
wero daeribed as resembling
"wMite haired old men�"
Manwhile, more searches
are expectcd in connection
with a third drugs investiga-
tion involving cannabis.
A Filipino was arrested
I after the drug was found in
~ his suitcase when he arrived
' from Manila on Thursday.
He w a s eacorted a f t e r
questioning at Customs
Headquaners to a Tsimshat-
sui hotel on Friday evening
and an Indian, alleged to be

are not doing enough supervi-
sory work on their scamcn; "
hc said.
Rccords last year showcd,
for examplc, that more than
50 drug seizures have been
made in the past nine years
from one British-registered
freighter, the Tai Chung
Shan.
Under the present law, no
action can be taken if drugs
found on board a ship exceed-
ing 250 tons cannot be traced
to individual crew members.
And as the ma ority of
such seizures are in t~e public
parts of the ships, this is ex-
tremely difficult.
"Wc havc printed somc
book!ets advising ships' ofC-
cers how to idcntify drugs,
how to chcck secunty and
what action to take upon dis- �
covering drugs;' Mr Tong
said.
Dacpite recent big sci-
zures, drug prices on the
black market still appear to
bc droping, he said.
"This would indicate there
ix quite a lot oF the stuff on
the market. I.ast week, a
packet containing one-tenth
of a gram uf heroin cost 515-
520, comParcd with $40 curly
this year,' he said.
Customs officers havc al-
ready scizcd slightly more
this year than the 182 kg of
drugs sci7cd in the whole of
last year. Drugs worth at
least S39 million on the black
market have been found on
occan-going vcssels.
The Bill adds a ncw part
to the principa I Ordinance
and states that the tcrm
"owner" includcs the chartcr-
er of a ship.
If it bccomcs law, the
Commissioner of the Customs
and Excise Service will be
able to scizc and detain for 48
hours, with the written con-
sent of the Attorney-General,
any ship reasonably suspccted
of having carried, on two

NEW COMMUNITY GROUP WAGES OFFENSIVE AGAINST DRUG ABUSE
Hong Kong SOUTH CHINA MOItNING POST in English 18 Jun 82 p 2

RECENT news reports
have revesled that Hong-,
kong's problem of tanage
drug abuae ia growing. T'e
number of teenage addicts
has risen by more than 100
per cent over the past year,
with heroin aa the drug of
choive.
Marijuana smoking ia also
on the rise. as evidenoed by
the increased oonsignmenta of
cannabia disoovered being
smugglcd into Hongkong.
An organised offensive
against thia disheartening
trend hss ban taken by the
rxently formed Community
Dru~ga Adviaory Committa.
Thc oommitta's atated
purpose ia to "incroase com-
munity collaborstion in iden-
tifying and uaing all resources

enta, studenu. and teachers m

Participatmg in the oom-

UTTAR PRADESA MINISTER ALLEGED TO BE IN DRUG RACKET
New Delhi PATRIOT in English 12 Jun 82 ppl, 7
[Excerpt] Prime Minister Indira Gandhi is understood to have sought informa-
tion from UP Chief Minister V P Singh on the alleged involvement of one of
his Ministers of State Mr Gulab Singh in alleged narcotics racket.
Mr Gulab Singh, who hails from Chakarata in Dehradun district is the Minister
of State in charge of Rumaon Diviaion. The Central Narcotics Department unit
at Dehradun has registered a case with the local police against him and eight
others, including his atep-brother Pooran Singh for illegal cultivation of
popgy and the manufacture of opium.
Mr Gulab Singh was granted bail on Thursday by the additional chief judicial
magistrate of Dehradun. The charges against him have been registered under
the Dangerous Drugs Act.
Receiving a tip the Narcotics Department officials had raided a farm in Mr
Gulab Singh's village on which poppy was growing.
According to UP Congress I circles, the department was tipped by the followers
of Mr Gulab Singh's senior ministerial colleague, Mr Brahm Dutt, who also
hails from Dehradun.
Many Congress-I men from UP say that the tipping off is merely an extension
of the faction fight between him and Mr Brahm Dutt.
