Cops Numerous in Communist
Countries, Some 'Part Time'
K 1
By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign Editor
It is estimated that one So
viet citizen in every hundred
is a pai'tiiiiie puiicemciu.

AXJ in its people's
I'hil N'ewsom para dise as
does the United States.
These and other revealing
statistics dealing with events
behind the carefully guarded
Iron Curtain have been gath
ered by Radio Free Europe
whose transmitters beam
news of the Western world
to the captive nations and
whose staff also spends con
siderable time culling through
Communist publications and
monitoring Communist broad
casts. The idea of part-time police
men was introduced in the
Soviet Union in 1958, and
since has been taken up with
enthusiasm by the satellite
slates. In the Soviet Union
alone, it is estimated that
these people's militia, as they
art called, total about 2',j
million persons.
May Invade Homes
In the heavy jargon of Com
munism, their job is to fight
against immoral manifesta
tions" among the people and
they have the right to invade
private homes in pursuit of
their duties.
"Immoral manifestations'
run the gamut from the sin
of too-free criticism of the
regime to absenteeism and lar
ceny on the job.
Working hand in hand with
these part - time policemen
are the "Comradely Courts
which are informal affairs in
which the delinquent worker';
fellows undertake to brain
wash him.
These courts, too, are wide
spread throughout the satet
lites.
The figures revealing the
extent to which a police state
must go to enforce its discip
line also disclose a somewhat
less than ideal attitude among
many of the workers.
One comradely court dealt
with a worker who threw an
: unfriendly iron bar at his
foreman.
Absenteeism Widespread
Many of the cases cited
'. dealt with drunkenness on the
job. Others disclosed wide
spread absenteeism, a reluc
tance to "volunteer" for over
. time work, and a most non
Communist desire to .turn a
fast ruble on the black mar-
ket with goods pilfered from
the local factory.
In Czechoslovakia, a Com
radely Court recently dealt
harshly with youths who "un
der the influence of alcohol
partly demolished the public
lighting system in the village,
smashed the windows of the
collective building and over
turned three gravestones in
the cemetery, among them
that of a Soviet soldier."
A Moscow broadcast which
dealt with the building of
nurrian character spoke Diner
ly of shortcomings at a metal
lurgical plant in Kazakhstan.
It told of "loafers" who in
the midst of a bitter winter,
allowed the heating system to
freeze in the woi'Keis' settle
ment.
