New TORONTO (CP) — The Mounties grabbed William Langdon shortly after he had landed his Cessna Skymaster plane at an airport near his home in Orillia, Ont., on Aug. 28, 1982. He was arrested along with two other men and charged with possession of about 100 kilograms of mari- juana that had been trans- ferred from the plane to a rented van. A year earlier, Langdon would have been prosecuted on drug charges and that would have been the end of it. But under a new and in- genious program, Langdon found his entire financial af- fairs opened to RCMP scrut- iny. Drug officers say the pro- gram is helping them gain ground against drug dealers by using a broadly inter- preted section of the Crim- inal Code that allows seizure of goods obtained by crime. As the RCMP, delved into Langdon's affairs, they found the former law student, now 38, had filed for personal bankruptcy in 1980 while liv- ing in Calgary. He had listed his debts at $13,488, said he had no assets and was unem- ployed. TAXI DRIVER He was discharged from bankruptcy in February 1982 after telling the trustee in bankruptey that his only in- come in the previous year had been $1,780 from a part-time job as a taxi driver. But the RCMP found Lang- don appeared to have had plenty of cash during and im- pr m helps Mounties fight drugs mediately after his bank- ruptcy. Between June 20, 1961, and July 21, 1962, he bought a car for $2,400; made $28,180 in payments for two Audis; bought $1,300 in sec urities and bought the Ces- sna airplane for $28,000. Twelve days after his ar- rest, he sold a kilogram of gold worth $17,340 to a bank and the next day bought a 1981 Fiat Spider, which was registeréd in the name of his wife Carol. Langdon pleaded guilty to the drug charge as well as to the charge of possession of ill-gotten goods. He was sen- tenced to 18 months concur- rent. But more importantly, from the RCMP point of view, the court ordered everything confiscated ex- cept the Spider, which the Crown could not prove had been purchased with the profits of drug trafficking. SEIZES ASSETS A dozen cities in Canada now have branches of the anti-profiteering squad, which has seized more than $20 million of dealers’ assets in the two years since it be- gan. Sgt. Wayne Blackburn, su- pervisor of the anti-profit- eering program at RCMP headquarters in Ottawa, says drug dealers have been caught off guard by the pro- gram. “Most of the people we are chasing are accystomed to dealing with conventional police attack,” Blackburn said. “But this is new and they don't know where we're coming from all the time.” Sgt, Ross Odke of the Tor- onto unit said Langdon's case was a good example. “He didn’t mind the jail sentence,” Oake said. “But I think that when we took away his toys it was a hig blow to his ego. He had a cer- tain reputation in the com. munity.” LOOK INSIDE Blackburn said the new tactic is also letting Mounties see and identify the finan- ciers behind big-time drug deals. “We're seeing the hier archy that we had painted in our minds as being there,” he said. “We're finding there's a group of people that are finaneing these deals who've never surfaced before.” A recent RCMP report on the-’anti-profiteering squad said “many sophisticated laundering systems are being identified. “These laundering systems include the use of complex corporate and business trans- actions through banks, trust companies, real estate firms, stock brokers and money changers. “They have identified un. derground commercial sys- tems that have been used for generations.” The report said the new program is helping name “the planners and organizers who rarely come into contact with illicit drugs but who always arrange to receive the pro- ceeds of illicit transactions.” Nevertheless, Supt, Rod- ney Stamler, head of drug enforcement for the RCMP, said some assets cannot at the moment be seized by the force. Cameron a ‘trail-blazer’ MONTREAL (CP) — They may have disliked him or questioned his theories, but colleagues of Dr. Ewen Cam- eron, whose experiments on unwitting patients in the 1940s and 1950s have become a public scandal, still consider him a trail-blazing innovator. Cameron, who died in 1967, treated schizophrenic pati ents with massive doses of electroshock therapy, sen- sory deprivation and hallu cinogenic drugs at McGill University’s Allan Memorial Institute, a psychiatric hos- pital he founded. Many of the people he treated, including-the wife of NDP MP David Orlikow, say they are still suffering from the effects of the treatment. A group of Cameron's for- mer patients is suing the U.S. government for $1 million each following disclosure in 1977 that Cameron's experi- mental program received grants from the Central In- telligence Agency through a front organization called the Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology. In the context of the very primitive knowledge of neu- rological science of the time, his work was considered ac- ceptable, Heinz Lehmann, now professor emeritus of McGill University’s psychi- atry department, said in an interview. Lehmann said he didn't approve of the treatment Cameron's patients were getting, “but not for moral reasons — I didn't believe in his theory.” Lehmann said he was un- aware of the CIA connection. “I knew he was getting grant money from the United States, but now it’s being said he treated patients who otherwise he wouldn't have. “I can't believe he treated patients who didn’t need it. The people were very sick in order to get admitted.” Robert Cleghorn, who suc- ceeded Cameren as director in 1964, didn’t trust Cam- eron’s theories either. After an investigation, he banned all of Cameron’s techniques. But, Cleghorn added: “He was trying to improve the therapy for schizophrenia. If he'd pulled it off, he'd have won the Nobel Prize. Donald Hebb, then ‘head of McGill's psychology depart. ment, said he was sure at the time that Cameron “didn't know what he was talking about.” Hebb disliked Cam- eron, who he said “had a ten- dency toward megalomania (passion for grandiose things),” and “dealt with him at arms’ length and unwill- ingly.” Nevertheless, “if you have a certain theoretical ap- proach, what Cameron was doing wasn't nearly as bad as it looks today,” said Hebb, whose work on isolation’s ef- fects on people was financed partly by Canada’s National Defence Department. Some of Cameron's former staff members are outraged at recent media portrayals of him as a mad _ scientist, practising sinister and bar. baric techniques on hapless mental patients. “You turned this place into a Dracula type of ‘anil said Dr. Carlos 2-4 YEARS —.1012% 5 YEARS — 10%4° Fixed Rate Plan — $500 Minimum (Rates subject to change without notice) = l Ff Credit Union Kootenay Savings SAETUIOAR cas Brian L.
