The group is meeting in San Antonio through Fri day. Cocaine sold and consumed in the United States comes from Peru, Bo livia and Columbia, with most of it grown in Peru and Bolivia before be ing shipped to Columbia, Guten- sohn said. “Two guns are shooting,” he said. “Those two guns are Peru and Bo livia.” The wholesale price of cocaine has reached $30,000 to $40,000 a kilo, he said. And authorities report tracking large shipments of lactose to Columbia, likely for diluting co caine. “So, we are having a real effect,” Gutensohn said. In Columbia, where two drug car tels control the drug trade, U.S. agents are having the most success battling the Medellin cartel, accord ing to Gutensohn. “I think the Medellin cartel, as a major player, is just about out of business,” he said. “They’re in real trouble.” Two of the cartel’s four top lead ers were killed in the past eight months while resisting arrest. DEA agents assigned to Peru, Bo livia and Columbia are trying to wipe out massive farms of coca leaves and hidden jungle laboratories where co caine is manufactured, Gutensohn said. Many people who have never be fore farmed are getting into the lu crative coca-growing business, he said. “It’s sort of a gold rush mentality,” he said. “There’s a lot of quick money that can be made.” Laborers who would make $3 a day picking fruit have gone to work for coca farmers, who pay up to $30 a day for picking the leaves, Guten sohn said.

Prices soar, drilling activity boosts need for oilfield labor ABILENE (AP) —- The “Help Wanted” sign is once again out in the Texas oil patch. Drilling activity, though still de pressed, is on the upswing. Oil prices have escalated $8 a barrel this month, courtesy of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein. Drilling contractors and oil service companies are suddenly searching for experienced roughnecks, rousta bouts and other basic oilfield labor. The contractors say that finding enough skilled hands is their No. 1 problem. But they may also face shortages of affordable drill pipes and other vital equipment if drilling activity continues to expand. If soaring oil prices created an en ergy boom reminiscent of a decade ago, not nearly enough trained per sonnel and equipment would be available to handle it, industry veter ans say. Evidence of that growing realiza tion can be found in Abilene, where Texas A&M University has re-estab lished a long-abandoned training program for would-be roughnecks, the people who work on rigs that drill oil and gas wells. A&M launched the program in the oil boom year of 1981, when dril ling companies were hiring like crazy. By 1986, with oil prices crash ing from $30 to $10 a barrel and drilling activity reaching a post- World War II low, the school was abandoned. It was revived in July because of a barrage of requests from drilling contractors increasingly desperate for trained help, program adminis- _ ~ ck: ‘ ' “You just can*t increase the number of working rigs tremendously at this time, because youll have shortages of rig crews and you may have shortages of drilling pipe. ” — Ike Kerridge, economist trator Bob Prock said. The first five-week class, com posed of seven students, was com pleted Friday. More classes are planned. “Right now, people are a little strapped just to find basic rig labor,” said Lee Hunt, president of the In ternational Association of Drilling Contractors. ‘You just can’t increase the num ber of working rigs tremendously at this time, because you’ll have short ages of rig crews and you may have shortages of drilling pipe,” said Ike Kerridge, chief economist for Baker Hughes of Houston, a leading drill bit manufacturer. Nearly 400,000 workers fled the industry in the oil bust of the 1980s, with 145,000 exiting the oilfields of Texas. In addition to the unparal leled exodus of workers, the man ufacture of new oilfield equipment decreased dramatically. In the United States, drilling of new oil and gas wells is up 13 per cent over a year ago and up nearly 50 percent over the record posttra low of 663 active rigs in 1986. However, the 992 rigs presenili working represent only sliglitliB more than one-fifth the record 4,530 rigs operating in late 1981. The decimated drilling industn now appears incapable or operatin; more than about one-third of thl boom-time level. Hunt said. The industry could encounterse rious manpower and equipmen problems if 1,200 or more rigs wert drilling. Hunt said. “If the boom comes hack, wert going to he short people and dril pipe. We can’t handle it,” said Be’ Jones, owner of Win-Tex Driilinj an Abilene firm with 70 employee and four rigs operating. rilling cc nues, while improving modestlyove: the past year, are still too depressed to allow them to offer significant!) higher wages that would lure well- qualified job applicants' A contractor with a 1,000-horse jower rig could have charged $7,500 a day for drilling a well dur ing the oil boom, said Chuck Hinton a drilling contractor in the northeasi Texas town of Mount Pleasant, today the contractor probably could command $4,800 a day, Hinton said Mike Slaton of Dallas, publishei of Land Rig Newsletter, said mos drilling contractors are “makinj enough money to pay their crews buy gas for their trucks and their light bills, and that’s prell] much it.” m m- m m m m m m m m Class *91 Pictures This Month ONLY Monday-Friday 9-12;l-5pm AR Photography 707 Texas Ave. Suite 120B a it m m m m m m m m m m m South Africa may charge Texas man BEDFORD (AP) — A Texas mas who removed artifacts f rom a Zul» battlefield may face South Africa! government sanctions if he does nd return the items.

Deacon said Marcinek went M South Africa on two occasions ant shipped back boxes full of animal skin shields, spears, Zulu muslat balls and other artifacts.
