Indonesia warns of

intervention danger

JAKARTA — “

Foreign intervention, under cover or in the

open, will constitute a precedent very dangerous to the Asian

countries as a whole,”
week.

“Tf this issue (the Indones-
jan rebellion) were made an
excuse to use intervention it
would only create a troubled
atmosphere’ throughout the
Asian and African countries
and would expand the explos-
ive area, which in turn would
make the _ preservation of
world peace more difficult.”

Dr. Djuanda stressed that
his government “will not al-
low the Indonesian situation
to be interpreted as a cam-
paign either against the
United States or against the
Soviet Union.”

Referring to U.S. Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles’
suggestion that the U.S. State
Department was considering
granting belligerent rights to
the rebels, he said:

“Tf the rebels in Indonesia
were given belligerent rights
it would follow that the gov-
ernment would have every
reason to recognize other re-
bellions, for instance in
Malaya, the Philippines and
Burma.

“A result of this would be
that any Big Power would be
able to creat troubles in any
part of Asia and Africa.”

donesian war veterans and
young people held in Jakarta

Premier Djuanda declared here last

last week urged President

Sukarno to proclaim a gen- ©

eral mobilization of youth to
crush the Central Sumatra
rebels.

Sukarno had just returned
from a tour of Java and
Southern Celebes. He told the
rally that everywhere he went
during his tour “the common
people expressed support of
the government’s steps in
crushing the rebellion.”

Awkward for them too,
Sandys tells Labor Right

LONDON — Conservative Defense Minister Duncan Sandys .

last week admonished British Labor party leaders to deal more
sternly with the Victory for Socialism group which includes

nine Labor MPs.

Sandys complained that Labor party leaders were not

standing up to the splinter
groups and making it clear
that they were not speaking
for the Labor party.

“Tf the Labor party ever ex-
pects to be a government of
this country, they will find
that if this movement of emo-
tionalism and pacificm is al-
lowed to get out of hand it
would be just as awkward for
them ‘as for a Conservative
government,” he declared. «

Easter protest march

LONDON — Several thou-
sand people are expected to
take part at Easter in the 50-
mile nuclear weapons protest
mareh from London’s Trafal-
gar Square to ‘the Alder-
maston Atomic Weapons Re-
search Establishment in
Berkshire. The march starts
on Good Friday.”

Soviet expeditions planning
assault on Arctic, Antarctic

By SAM RUSSELL

MOSCOW — An all-out as-
sault on the Arctic and Ant-
arctic is planned by Soviet
scientists for the coming year,
six of the leading Soviet Polar
explorers disclosed here last
week.

One of the principle aims
will be to try to solve the
secrets which have a vital in-
fluence on long-range weather
forecasting.

One of the world’s leading
Polar weather experts, Prof.
Boris Zerzyevsky, said that
already preliminary data ob-

tained by Soviet scientists in
the Antarctic had resulted in

many previously held theor--

ies being demolished.

For example, it can now be
stated that cyclones not only
circle the Antarctic but also
eross it from the Ross Sea
to the Weddell Sea. Until
recently it was thought that
an almost continuous anti-
cyclone covered the whole
Antarctic area, but
now shown to be incorrect.

In the Arctic, Prof. Pavel
Gordeyenko, acting director
of the Soviet Arctic Research

this ig

Tstituie: said that 23 expedi-
tions had been planned by
the institute for this year.

In the Antarctic Dr. Mik-
hail Somoy, head of the Sov-
iet Antartic expedition, said
that Soviet scients were pre-
paring to spend a whole win-
ter at the Pionerskaya Sta-
tion, over 250 miles from the
coast and nearly 10,000 feet
above sea level.

The area allotted to. the
Soviet expedition under the
International Geophysical Year
plan is one of the most inac-
cessible areas of the whole
Antarctic continent.
