Colonel Permata, apparently about 40 years old, is a Tapanuli Batak from Tarutung. He served on a destroyer based in the Andanan Islands during World War II. Subsequently he joined the Indonesian Army and in 1954 was selected for a year's training in infantry tactics at West Point. ll ft Prior to coming to Medan about a year ago, Colonel Permata served in He claims to be well both the Kisaran and Wingfoot areas, south of Medan. acquainted with and on good terms with Americans on the rubber estates in these areas. Limited inquiry casts some doubt on this claim. He also takes credit for improving security conditions in both areas. He accompanied Ambassador JONES as an escort officer when the Ambassador visited Wingfoot and Kisaran in 1959. Colonel Permata, in speaking to the reporting officer, was emphatic c He does in his dislike for Comnunism and in expressing opposition to it. not believe that there are many Communists in Medan. He was also clear When in expressing his preference for Americans and things American. observing various pieces of equipment on a British Minesweeper, particularly guns, he spoke with relish of the superiority of the American products.

His father, now resident in Holland, spent most of his life on Timor and is the world's outstanding authority on the cuatbins and habits of the Timorese people. Dr. Middlecoop (son) is the only regularly practicing physician on Timor and resides in Kupang. Although he claims to be completely accepted by the local government officials and community on Timor, he expressed to the reporting officer doubts and fears concerning his future on Timor during the current anti-Dutch campaign. Although he would like to stay on Timor, he feels that he should, for the sake of his family, leave and establish a practice somewhere else. Dr. Middlecoop speaks excellent English and was very open to the reporting officer although his knowledge of politics, as such, was very limited. Kupang, Timor Christian J. 1.MOOY, Mr. Mooy is the only member of Parliament (botn old and new) who represents the Timor branch of the PARKIHDO. A former Army officer, and apparently not particularly intelligent, he seemed very nervous when talking to the reporting officer despite the fact that they were alone in his house. This was in sharp contrast to the attitudes of other people on Timor who all tended to speak freely and frankly concerning their attitudes toward Djakarta and the government on Timor. Mr. Mooy merely gave the reporting officer a rehash of Djakarta trivia in slogan form. Mr. Mooy, a man of about 45, has a stocky build and wears a small mustache. lives in a modest house which would appear to be part of an Army housing complex and his dress indicates that he is not a wealthy man.
