Drug battle
shows signs
of progress
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Higher
cocaine prices and declining purity
are signs that there is progress in the
drug battle in South America, the
cocaine investigations chief for the
Drug Enforcement Administration
said Wednesday.
“We’ve had some real success, but
we’ve got a long war,” Charles Gu-
tensohn told the International Nar
cotic Enforcement Officers Associa
tion Wednesday. 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.”

return the items.
Greg Marcinek conducted twoar
chaeological digs on the site of a Bal
tic 110 years ago between somt
20,000 Zulu warriors and abou
1,000 British soldiers.
South African officials say (hear
tifacts are from a privately owned!
pasture and are reviewing their op!

from Bedford, said he had permis
sion to take them but will returf
them once they are cataloged.
“I love South Africa,” said Marti
nek, who hopes to conduct tours of
the cciuntry and battle sites.
“I wouldn’t do anything
would endanger those sites,” he said
“I’m just worried that my visa will lx

Janette Deacon, head of South At
rica’s National Monuments Council
acknowledged that was being consid

future, I don’t think there will be
problem,” she said. “But we art
looking at our options.
“The Khambula battle site hai
been declared a national mon

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. Marcinek
who advertises the artifacts for salt
in a private catalog, does not dispulf
her claim.
