Hong Kong's Casbah Typical Impoverished Rural Village by Dayf Hotbed of Vice Hong Kong - OJPD - By day it is a typical impoverished rural village. By night, it is a blatant hotbed of vice. This split-personality is the ancient city of Vewloon Hong Kong's casbah. On seeing the walled city today, one finds it difficult to Imagine how this apparently undesirable six acres of real estate could ever be a reason for rocking the boat of Sinc- Brttlsh relations. It no longer even bears the distinction of being walled Part of its medieval ramparts were torn down by the Japan ese during World War II and the remainder by Hong Kong authorities after the war. Nations Contend Yet there have been a num ber of occasions when Britain and China contended for this tiny enclave of narcotics dens, brothels, gambling joints, condemned houses and squatters shacks. In July last year, a heroin den operator was murdered inside the walled city. One of the murderers was repre sented by legal counsel. The young Indian lawyer, Abdul Hamid Suffiad, like other Hong Kong lawyers knew he was treading on dangerous ground, but none theless argued that British laws did not apply to the wall ed city. He applied for a writ of habeas corpus for his client and virtually ordered a panel of bewigged Hong Kong su preme court justices to turn him loose. Suffiad cited as authority for his argument a clause in an 1898 Sino-British agree ment which was designed to make the walled city a tiny, Chinese-ruled enclave on Brit ish soil. He also emphasized that since the clause had never been revoked by China's rulers - Nationalists, Com munists or otherwise - the walled city must still be sub- Oregon Warned on Narcotics Problem Salem- (CPU -The Northwest district supervisor of the Fed eral Bureau of Narcotics told Oregon District Attorneys Thursday that Oregon docs not have a serious problem in narcotics in comparison to other states. John Trainor of Seattle said, however, Oregon lies adjacent to California "which has the second worst nar cotics problem in the country, and Vancouver, B.C., which probably has more addicts than any other city in Can ada." Trainor said therefore sources of supply for illicit narcotic drugs are near at hand and readily available to the narcotic peddlers" in Ore gon. He said the city of Port land at one time was a focal point for heroin and cocaine traffic.

Under British Law The supreme court ruled against him. It declared in no uncertain terms the walled city was an integral part of the colony of Hong Kong and, as such, it came under British law. The Hong Kong colonial government had occupied it in 1899 on orders from the British government In Lon don nnd China's jurisdiction ceased as of then, the court said, British residents suffered a momentary pang of appre hension. The defense lawyer had prodded a sleeping dog which the colonial govern ment prefers to let He. Similar frightful moments were experienced in 1948 when rioti' broke out In the walled city and spread to Canton 80 miles away. The Nationalists maintained Brit ain had no power to govern the walled city. They also charged Britain acted uni laterally in 1899 when she took control of the walled city, after revoking the clause in the 1898 lease convention intended to preserve Chinese authority over the place. Conceivably, the same issue could cause trouble in tile fu ture, if Peiplng felt like tweaking the British lion's tail. The present Communist bosses of China have express ed no official interest in the walled city since they seized power in 1949. But they could raise the jurisdiction bugaboo for propaganda purposes, at least at any time, no matter what the Hong Kong supreme court ruled. Agreement Not Revoked For, like their Nationalist predecessors, they have never revoked the original 1898 lease agreement, nor the clause which stipulated that the walled city should remain Chinese-governed.

Even for the most low browed. No neon lights wink out In welcome ond no rock 'n' roll blares from barroom juko boxes. Unwashed, rugged, bare footed children play In the littered, filthy alleyways that pass for streets In the walled city, and sail toy boats down nauseating open drains. Their parents toll at handi craft industries, or work In humble shops that supply the community s several thous and resident with the bare necessities of life. Dogs and cuts are rarely seen alive. They are served roasted as delicacy. Typical Village By day, it seems a typical, Impoverished rural village, It is just a dingy collection of gray stone hovels and crude shacks, presenting marked contrast to the mod ern jet airport at Kal Tak a mile and a holf away. Pros tttullon prevails behind un- llghtcd doorways, packing case and cardboard shacks, and In attic brothels. Emaciated drug addicts slink into rat-infested dens called divans - to smoke opium and take heroin. Or, they squat In the open sniff ing pinches of narcotics they purchase from "pushers" for about 17 cents (U.S.) a packet. Leering touts lead the way to lewd exhibitions and strip teases. Overlords of the criminals In this human jungle are the triads - secret socictles-who run the vice rackets. Sometimes they war on each other, using razor-sharp meat choppers, kitchen knives and acid as their fa vorlte weapons. M Money Problems? U We Can Help In Ashland $500 down choice of two.
