Fed law enforcement officials rept enterprising Frenchmen, S Amers, Puerto Ricans and Cuban refugees are turning southern Fla into the prime Amer point of entry for smuggled heroin and cocaine; say emerging prominence of southern Fla in hard-drug trafficking reflects the increasing use of S Amer as a stopover and dispersal point for heroin processed in Eur, growing popularity of S Amer cocaine in the US and an infusion of new Latin elements in a high-profit, high-risk business; rept stepped-up law enforcement efforts in NY--traditionally the major entry point-have encouraged the expansion of the southern Fla route, adding that still-used entryways to the Amer addicts mkt are Montreal, Mex and Calif; note many of the 280,000 Cubans who reside in Fla are traditional heroin smugglers and addicts who brought their trade to the Miami area after fleeing Cuba during the late '50s; contends their moral inhibitions about smuggling and dealing in heroin are fading in light of pecuniary rewards that can be reaped from such activities; charge former members of the ill-fated assault brigade that landed on the Bay of Pigs in '61 have drifted into drug trafficking, putting to profitable use their newly learned guerrilla techniques; maintain Cubans are only 1 of many nationalities involved in moving heroin and cocaine from Latin Amer to the Miami area in ships, on scheduled airline flights, in small planes and by individual couriers; allege major figure in S Amer heroin trade is A J Ricord, 61-yr-old French former Gestapo agent whom US has been unsuccessfully attempting to extradite from Paraguay; Fed agents have, thus far, seized greater quantities of hard drugs in NY than in Miami, but officials say shipments of heroin and cocaine that have been seized in NY are often smuggled through Miami or other points of entry; during '71 agents intercepted 539.1 pounds of heroin and 67 pounds of cocaine in NY, and 464.45 and 35.76 pounds respectively in Miami; recent discovery of large heroin caches recalled; illus of Fed agent with smuggled heroin
