Crackdown on Indochina drug flow tightens post exchanges
Washington AP reports Customs Commissioner Myles Ambrose announced a sweeping crackdown on illegal drugs from Indochina. All mail from Southeast Asia will be opened and inspected, plus 100 percent checks on parcels at military post offices. Military commanders will aid in searching servicemen’s baggage and cargo. A recent seizure of 17 pounds of heroin in military mail from Bangkok valued at about 1.75 million dollars prompted the action, which follows 248 such seizures at Army and Air Force post offices from March 1 to April 24.
