DOG SNIFFS OUT OPiUM--Kuala Lumpur, 30 July--The Malaysian customs anti-narcotics
dog unit scored a major success when ~ne of the dogs sniffed out.100 pounds of raw
- opium from a car in Changloon neax the 'I'hai-Malaysian border yesterday. A customs
spokesman said the opium, hidden in secret compartments behind the back seat of
the car, was worth 70,000 Malaysian dollars (33,000 US) in the local market and
about one million dollars (450,000 US) in the international black market. The
driver of the car, a hairstylist, and his passenger, a mechanic, bath 21, from
Penang, in North Malaysia, were detained for questioning. The spokesma.n said
this was the first success of the dog unit without the benefit of a tip-off. He
said the car, with a Penang registration plate, was stopped for a surprise check
as it came in from Thailand. The dog went inaide the car and gave out an excited
cry before it began to tear the back rest of the back seat and sniffed out 25
slabs of raw opium. He said the car was heavil perfumed but th3.s did not prevent
the dog sniffing out the drugs. NAB/AFP ~Text~ ~Rangoon THE WORKING PEOPLE`S

FOUR SENTENCED FOR POSSESSING HEROIN--Bangkok, 23 July--Three Australians and a
Thai today were sentenced to a total of 121 years imprisonment af ter being found
guilty of possessing 8.5 kilogrammes (18 pounds) of heroin for sale. The court
jailed Sydney hairdresser Warren Fellows, 27, Wil'liam Sinclair, 67-year-old
Bangkok bar owner, and Thai Kitti Imsap to 33 years and eight months each. Sydney
football player Paul Hayward, 27, was sentenced to 28 years. The three Austr~.lians,
arrested in October 1978 and held in cus.tody since then, pleaded not guilty to
attempted trafficking. But Hayward and Fellows pleaded guilty to illegal posses-
sion of the heroin which the prosecution said was found in their hotel room. The
Thai, who was accused of supplying the drug, also pleaded not guilty. Defence
lawyers said the Australians would appeal against the judgment. In a lengthy
judgment, the court said it could have imposed life imprisonment but had passed
lighter sentences because the defendants had been cooperative during the trial.
It said the prosecution had estab lished clear evidence that Fellows and Sinclair
were involved in drug trafficking for seve~. or eight years. Hayward was given a
lighter term because there was no evidence that he was involved in drug trafficking
prior to 1978, the court said. It said the sentences took into consideration the
large amount of hemin involved. Dealing in such qua.ntities of drugs was a threat
to the world community, it added. The court also noted prosecution evidence that
about 30 kilogrammes (50 pound~) of drugs were being smuggled into Australia every
month. NAB/Reuter ~Text] ~Rangovn THE WORKING PEOPLE'S DAILY in English

the clue leading to the arrests from Juana Rivera Caceres de Ramos, who liad

LARGEST ~RUG HAUL MADE OFF BRITTANY COAST
NC2322C~1 Paris AFP in English 1838 GMT 23 Aug 81
[~xcerpt] Brest, West France, 23 Aug (AFP)--French customs made their biggest
narcotics haul ever when they netted six million dollars' worth of canabis resin
aboard a 55-ton British-registered yacht near here Friday, it was revealed today.
T~o West Germans wer.e arrested after customs made a chance-boarding of the Conquest
IIT laden with 1.75 tons of canabis which police said came from Morocco and was
intended for a"north European country."
Tt?e 60-foot (18-meter) wooden yacht, registered in Falmouth, Cornwa].1, and bristling
with radio equipment, had reportedly lost its bearings off Brittany's western coast.
It had sailed from Lisbon, Portugal, to the Mediterranean where it rendezvoused
with another ship to take on the drugs,~ police said.
Oustoms said the yacht's skipper was to be paid 135,000 marks (about 50,000 dollars)
for the trip. According to police, he had previously been sentenced t.o 4 years'
i~inprisonment for cigarette smuggling. .
One of~ the two Germans, both said to be in their 50's, was sea-sick when customs
boarded the yacht off the north-western French island of Ouessant (Ushant).

POLL SHOWS HALF OF POPULATION FOR DRUG-CASE PHONE TAPS
Stockholm DAGENS NYkIETER in Swedish 26 Jul 81 p 1.
[Text~ Every other Swedish voter is prepared to approve concealed microphones
and telephone tapping without authorization in order to cut down on drug abuse
and to uncover tax violations. This was shown by an opinion poll taken by the
Institute for Opinion Analysis during the spring of 1981.
The institute has conducted opinion polls based on checking off a form containing
around 500 questions in 1979, 1980 and 1981.
This is the first year narcotics appeared in the questionnaire. Nine out of ten
Swedes favor strong steps against narcotics and eight out of ten voters favored
measures to combat tax violations and foreign deb.ts.
Asked if hidden microphones should be placed in residences to uncover drug deal-
ings and tax cheating, 30 percent answered, "Yes, definitely" and 23 percent said,
"Yes," for a total of 53 percent. Unauthorized telephone tapping was approved by
29 percent in the top category and 31 percent in the next for a total of 60 per-
cent. TV surveillance without special authorization was accepted by a'total of
53 percent.
Pessimism is widespread when it comes to getting at narcotics, with 36 percent
thinking the situation will get "much worse" in a few years and another 27 per-
cent feeling it wi11 get "somewhat worse."
At the same time as demands for taking action against tax cheating are rising,
tolerance for tax eheating is increasing.

216 grams in all. Customs people in Helsingborg found the heroin packages a ,

Nordic abstinence congress being opened in Ostersund. The congress will last .
until Thursday. Karin Soder said that both the delegates to the Nordic Counil
and the governments through the Nordic Council of Ministers will intensify coopera-
tion on these weighty s4cial issues. The problems of alcohol and narcotics are
~ shared ones and to some extent the same in all the Nordic countries. Therefore
we have stepped up cooperation in recent years. By exchanging knowledge and expe-
riences we can work together to combat the forces spreading drugs throughout the .
Nordic region, Karin Soder said. Some ten Nordic organs are involved in research
in this area. The Nordic Agency for Alcohol and Drug Research, set up in 1980 in
Helsinki, and the Nordic Health Care School are two examples. [Text] [Stockholm
