Thousands of Alien Chinese Are Driven From Indonesia
By Charles R. Smith United Press International
JAKARTA —(UPI)— Indonesia's efforts to curb Chinese political and economic influence here are driving thousands of alien Chinese from the country — most of them to Communist China.
There are no figures on the number who have left Indonesia as a result of the government's discriminatory measures, but rough estimates place this year's total at more than 5,000.
the exodus of Chinese, some of whose families have been rooted here for generations, began early last year when the government cracked down on Kuomintang and "stateless" Chinese.
The big government move that caused many more to pack their bags and head for the mainland was the ban on alien retailers in rural areas. By the time this decree was issued many of the alien Chinese had already seen the handwriting on the wall — a never-ending campaign against them.
They continued to leave in a trickle throughout 1958 and in the early part of this year. Then, the number increased when the government stepped up its anti-Chinese campaign last spring.
Some of these are old Chinese who want to spend their last days
Seldom a day passes without reports of a group of Chinese leaving some regional area — particularly in Sumatra and Borneo — for the Chinese mainland.
"But when I finish my studies I'm sure the government will overlook the fact that I do not seem to have had all the necessary documents because I am under contract to work for them (the government). They will be glad to have me. I will wait until then to get my citizenship status cleared up rather than go to all the trouble now."
Many Chinese, some of whom were born here and have never been out of Indonesia, have decided to leave because of the difficulty in obtaining Indonesian citizenship. For many, especially those without special educational training or skills, obtaining citizenship is almost impossible.
on the mainland, but an astonishingly large number are young high school or college graduates.
But observers here expect the number of departing Chinese to increase in the coming months, particularly after the end of the year when the government's ban on alien retailers leaves thousands without any means of livelihood.
"Getting citizenship is not easy," he said. "It is difficult to get all the papers required and to meet all other requirements.
This young Chinese wants to stay here. Many do not. But not all of these can leave. Some have nowhere to go. Others have no money.
One Chinese student said he had applied for Indonesian citizenship as far back as 1952 and still hasn't received it.
A dual-citizenship agreement negotiated during 1955 when Chinese Premier Chou En-Lai came here for the Bandung conference is pending.
Borneo, indicated that more than 3,000 Chinese in that area alone had requested to go to the mainland because of the ban.
A report from Singkawang, West
Although the agreement has been ratified by the Indonesian Parliament, Indonesia is really not in favor of such an agreement. Officials here are in no hurry to implement it.
Juke Box Used by Boy To Build 'Rocket Brain'
Charlie's New Shop NOW OPEN
CHICAGO —(UPI)— A 17-year-old boy whose scientific accomplishments include using parts of a discarded juke box and an old beer sign to build a "rocket brain" will be among those attending the 38th national 4-H Club Congress here Nov. 29 to Dec. 2.
The talented youngster is Robert Langstroth of Newton, N.J., who won a trip to Chicago for his studies of outer space, the fourth dimension and extrasensory perception.

His ambition is to study electronic engineering in college and hopes to win one of the Westinghouse Foundation scholarships that are awarded to national 4-H Club winners.
A high school senior, Bob Langstroth has already designed and built more than 20 electronic devices. One is a 400-pound "ARLC" (automatic radio location indication computer) rocket brain.

The giant unit is a complete control center for launching, directing, tracking and receiving signals from any rocket. Bob assembled it from parts of a discarded juke box, radios, TV sets, a beer sign and two radar sets. He purchased them with money he earned by repairing electrical appliances.
Langstroth and his 18-year-old brother do their scientific work in the basement of their rural home. Their slogan is: "We build to your specifications."
Joining a 4-H club is New Jersey's Sussex County developed Bob's interest in electricity and then electronics. He built electric projects in each of his six years as a member of 4-H, earning a long string

of county and state honors.
His inventions include a machine for recording both the sound and picture portions of television programs and an extrasensory perception testing device. The latter is a dial-covered metal box designed to prove whether mind-reading is fact or fiction.
If the machine has proven to Bob that ESP is a fake, he isn't saying so. He stages an hour-long "mental act" which has earned him membership in the International Brotherhood of Magicians.
He also joined the Institute of Radio Engineers at the age of 15 to become the youngest associate member in the institute's history.
