Wyoming Home Captain Of Indonesian Police Is Guest Of Dallas Police Chief Dallas Borough Police Department had a distinguished visitor Wednes- day morning in the person of Capt. Oscar B. Ferdinandus, member of she Criminal Investigation Division 5f the National Police of Indonesia. Capt. Ferdinandus stopped in at Police Headquarters in the Borough 3uilding with Sgt. Robert Musser, who is in charge of Criminal In- sestigation at Wyoming Barracks and who has been his guide during ais stay in Northeastern Pennsyl- vania. The bronzed, lithe captain, flashed a bright smile as he spoke to Chief 5f Police Russell Honeywell about :he contrasts between police work aere and in his country. He has been in the United States since June studying modern meth- ods in criminal investigation under she sponsorship of the State De- >artment and the International As- sociation of Chiefs of Police. He has been at Wyoming Barracks of the State Police for the past two weeks, where veteran troopers have en- joyed showing their alert visitor around. From there he will go to Harris- burg, the Central Bureau of the New York State Police in Albany and then to Washington, D. C. As he sat across the desk from Chief Honeywell he explained that [ndonesia is made up of 3,000 is- .ands with a total of three and a half million square miles and a population of ninety million. The .argest island is Java. Djakarta, the capital, has two and a half million | residents and is the headquarters of the National Police. The National Police force is com- posed of 120,000 men who handle all police matters, including putting down of civil strife. He told Chief Honeywell that crimes of theft are the more numer- ous. Murder is not a big problem and narcotics and smuggling are likewise not serious problems. Traf- ‘fic is just beginning to become a problem and juvenile delinquency. is on the rise as it is elsewhere in the world. Mining and agriculture are the main occupations of the people. Large quantities of tin, rubber and coffee are exported as well as other raw materials native on an equator- ial country. Prior to World War II, Indonesia was ruled by the Netherlands, but now it is an independent country. The police department was reorgan- ized and operates on three princi- ples: The policeman is a servant of the people; he is a good citizen of his country and he is a guardian of self-discipline. Capt. Ferdinandus speaks excel- lent English although he modestly wishes that he knew it better so that he could express himself more clearly. He has only a trace of accent. He also speaks Dutch." His big regret is that his wife and two boys, aged 4% and 2% were unable to accompany him. What did he like in America? Beautiful buildings, bigness, super- markets and television which he had never seen until he came to America. Dragnet fascinated him. Superhighways and automobile traf- fic amazed him. When he left with Sgt. Musser, he promised to drop the Chief a card on his return to Indonesia. Obedience Classes For Dogs Starts Saturday Obedience training for dogs will start Saturday at 2 p.m. in Kirby Park, and continue every Saturday afternoon for ten weeks under aus- pices of Anthracite Dog Training Club.
