Burger, a Hindiman, his 72, who is now away in '6
Had an interview with Admimn. note S.M.
Thland at 3.30. He seemed in a hurry & did not
learn much to say. The coldd on New Hamegan who
is now Abcay Shot. Melmann kata, Bulet 12 day with
a visit to the club with Clancy Champion.
My late in the hotel today is a Dutchman
named Roon, a building contractor at Hollandia, a bit
way cock from Ameboha. Says there are now about
7000 white people at Hollandia. Until recently the only
building was U.S. warlim (concrete & gourds). Now
some 500 new places are being put up. The Dutch feel
sure in west New Guinea. They don't trust the Unit.
I make an ownership, discuss in Pasarollb & then. Many
Emanans have been killed in West Guinea since the
war. The Settlement scheme a failure. Too many of
the half-castes "stay to good families" I will not do
land work. No farming being done with E. donors.
I left perhaps in an service, while the Indonesian
pledged with the Dutch to carry on. Most building
material comes from Singapore. Cheapa Hata Plant-
station. Trial West Guinea. 20% of timber is a little
less.

Government still maintains a lot of 5's a 6 pound
here along the Bank cattle.
During the morning I visited the Administrative museum
with Justice Judge Shipwell, & Chief Jones (from ministry).
A Committee was formed in the museum started at least
10am. Collection of about 2000 artifacts housed in the old
Governor's house & office building. Firms to work effective
arrangement. Some very good things, mainly (the most
compromised) from the Tufik, Manus, & Solomons coast.

Dich "New Guinea Road" arrived Tuesday 9:10. Aircraft flight but could see little of the country,
