After years of publicly praising antidrug efforts in Mexico, Washington is becoming increasingly concerned that those efforts may be riddled with corruption. The study for the Foreign Affairs Committee is just one recent development underscoring the concern. In its annual report on international narcotics control efforts, the State Department projects that Mexico`s marijuana harvest will double this year, despite eradication efforts.``There are strong indications that the Mexican program has been less effective over the past two years and that corruption is playing a major role in this decline,`` the report said. The kidnaping and murder of Camarena and his Mexican pilot, Alfredo Zavala Avelar, put a spotlight on the issue. The Mexican government has been stung and embarrassed by what it maintains are unfair public charges of corruption being made by Ambassador John Gavin and Reagan administration officials. On Friday, Gavin said that at least two of the four men who abducted Camarena were Mexican police.

The statement described him as a ``cocaine addict`` and an ``intimate friend`` of reputed Guadalajara drug barons, including Rafael Caro Quintero, believed to control the raided Chihuahua marijuana plantations and suspected by U. S. Gonzalez had received a fixed monthly payment and weapons from drug dealers to provide them with protection, the statement said.
