AUSTRALIAN DRUG PROBLEM INRrIENSE--The federal police chief, Sir Colin Woods,
says Australia has a deeply rooted drug problem of immense proportions.
Speaking in Canberra, he saia that as much as 1,200 kilograms of heroin might
have been imported this year, netting drug traffickers passibly 110 million
American dollars. Sir Colin Woods said the co~unity could not allow this
scale of crime to continue, He said there would be more cooperation than _
ever between federal and state police in the fight against crime bosses who
maintained an uninterrupted flow ~f narcotics. One aspect of this would be
the establishment of a national crime intelligence center with links to state
intelligence cells. [Text] [Melbourne Overseas Service in English 1230 GMT `

WARI~iIidC GIVEN ON FAKE DRUGS IN MARKET ~
Manila BULLETIN TODAY in English 12 Dec 79 p 40
[Text] Faked prohibited drugs are out in the blackmarket and the Constabu-
lary Anti-Narcotics unit (CANU) warned users against their instant and
destructive side effects. -
Senior Agent Zonano Aragon, officer-in-charge of Canu-Pasay detachment, said
large dosage could lead to temporary deafness to severe stomach pain and
migraine.
Axagon said enterprising drug pushers are producing fake drugs to augment
_ the dwindling genuine supplies. _
fie said supplies have become scarce as Brig. Gen. Bienvenido Felix, CANU
chief, ordered the intensification of the drive against drug abuse.
- Most ot the buyers of the fake drugs are foreign nati.onals staying in big
hotels and young students eager to make "trip" but are enable to tell the
difference between the real and the substitute.
Aragon said Cortal and Kremil-S could easily pass as Mogadon tablets by
careful scrapping of the brand names and replacing r.hem with "two eyes,"
Mogadon's logo.
He said that for Tricodin the substitute is a mixture of Cohistan and Corex
cough syrups. _
For Indotussin, the CANU official said pushers are using Indotussin-D, an
over-the-counter drug.
"Even the tiny lizard's eggs are painted red to look like Valoron capsule,"
he said.--(J.R.)
