carried the following brief but significant report:

OSLO'S MAYOR IN FRANKFURT ON FACT-FINDING MISSION

Other Towns, Same Concerns: Criminality and Drugs

Frankfurt - Criminality and drugs are also a big problem in Oslo. A
delegation from Oslo's capital city led by Mayor Fritz Huitfeld and Police
Vice-President Roger Andresen is here to find out more on the methods
adopted to solve Frankfurt's criminality and drug problems. In numerous
conversations, amongst others with Police President Wolfhard Hoffmann, the
measures adopted by Frankfurt to deal with big city crime, above all with
drug crime problems, were explained to the guests. Yesterday evening Mayor
Petra Roth (CDU) entertained her opposite number from Oslo. In the course
of these talks it transpired that Oslo also has the same besetting problems
with drug related crime committed by foreigners as well as by 'strolling
players'.
