INTERPOL traces its history back to
1914, when the first International Criminal
Police Congress brought representatives
from fourteen countries to Monaco to discuss
joint cooperation. But it was not until 1946,
after the passage of two world wars, that the
John Simpson
organization began its major thrust as a sig-
nificant world body in criminal justice.

Dominate Meeting
BELGRADE -Representatives from
more than 100 countries gathered together
here last month to chart what amounts to a
new course for the International Police
Association, more commonly known as
INTERPOL. In adopting reform measures
last year under the leadership of John
Simpson, a member of the U.S. Secret Ser-
vice, who is serving in his second year of a
four year term, member countries have
begun to move decisively on such issues as
international terrorism, international drug
trafficking, and the implementation of
management reforms and increased dues to
support the activities of the association.
According to informed sources the group
voted strongly in favor of two resolutions in
the area of international terrorism, estab-
lishing guidelines for member countries
which increase information, intelligence
and cooperation. A resolution by Chile to
help crackdown on the trafficking of arms
and explosives also reportedly received
widespread support from the group, which
consists of senior police officers from all

The suicide of a defendant in a
sexual assault case in British
Columbia, has sparked a legal
debate on freedom of the press
because a weekly newspaper, the
Coldstream Gazette printed the
man's name after he died. The
suspect had slashed his wrists and
throat after v radio broadcast named
him, which prompted a Provincial
Court judge to ban use of his name.
After the suspect's death the
Gazette printed his name, alleging
that he had sexually assaulted
children in Victoria.
CHINA
Transportation experts from
the University of Illinois at Chi-
cago (UIC) and the city of Chicago
travelled to the People's Republic
of China in October to help offi-
cials there modernize roads and
public transit and relieve urban
traffic congestion.
The four-man team presented a
series of general lectures on tran-
sit issues in Shenyang. Subse-
quent on-site tours and workshops
on local problems are scheduled for
Shenyang, Beijing and Shanghai.
Robert E. Paaswell, director of
UIC's Urban Transportation Cen-
ter and organizer of the Confer-
ence, said the lectures are
designed to acquaint the Chinese
with American approaches to
transportation problems and to
enable the lecturers, transporta-
tion engineers and policy-making
government officials to discuss
matters informally.

the police the opportunity to gain'accelerated promotion. Uni-
versify graduates can gain a place in this Special Course, but'''
the course was not devised with them in mind; many of the
places in the courses, are filled- by police officers "who have;
entered in the normal way, They must have proven themselves
as police officers and; through, the promotion examinations;;,
have' qualified o be interviewed with a view to selection. The?
police service is a popular career nowadays. It attracts many
graduates who choose to enter in the normal way. Some of them
will find their way to the Special Course, along with_a number f
who have never attended a university ,?~ ~ .
The course formerly lasted for one year .and ,had between
thirty and ,forty students undergoing training in the rank of
sergeant or acting sergeant, depending on whether they had
been?promoted to the rank by their own force. Successful com-
pletiori of the course resulted in she award of a certificate, If the
individual performed the duties of sergeant back in hie force in a '
satisfactory manner, there was automatic promotion to the rank
of inspector.
The present commandant of the Police Staff College hash
brought about `a change in the format of the course and. is now a=
sandwich type' course with three months spent at the college
and, dependant on progress, either' one or two years back in the,
student's home force, during which time the promotion exami

South Africa's national police
force is hiring 1,000 blacks and
sending them to patrol black

police powers after three weeks of
training, according to
Johannesburg news reports. Reg-

blacks and whites, usually receive
one year of training.

unidentified "high ranking police
source" as saying the recruits, who
are called special constables,
would be used to combat militant
youths, who call themselves com-
rades and whom the Government
blames for most violence in the
townships. The newspaper further
quoted the police as saying the
constables would have the same
powers as regular members of the
force. This would include powers to
detain people without charge for
indefinite periods under the
national emergency declared June

Director, James
K. Stewart, in a
recent issue of

Stewart says. He cites successful
examples of projects in Brooklyn,
New York; Oakland, California;
Portland, Oregon; and Los Ange-

worked. "Crime is a hazard to
everyone in our society, but it
