heart of Soerabaja today, but

British announcement said.
The 123d Indian Infantry Brigade
battled into the justice and govern
ment buildings, formerly identified
as major headquarters for $4,000
Indonesian Nationalist troops. They
occupied the buildings after a bitter
fight against Nationalist defenders
who used light automatic weapons,
medium machine guns and some
supporting armored vehicles.
Premier Outlines Principles.
While the fighting continued un-
checked in Soerabaja, Sutan Sjahrir,
youthful new premier who is pledged
to attempt to end the hostilities,
issued a 15-page pamphlet in Ba-
tavia, outlining his principles for
the future of the Indonesians. i
Sjahrir deplored the Japanese
which he said taught
his people to hate all foreigners,
and asserted:
"All the unrest in the community
is directed to an aversion to foreign
peoples present in our country, to
marching with lances, that has now
already grown into murder and rob-

and thAt the Indonesiaris were bet

The British, using 4 minimum OF
forces to prevent heavy casualties,
pressed the attack slowly in Soera-
haja. A summary of the action
said native resistance was "partic-
ularly determined in the area Of
