in Batavia. In Bandoeng, summer
capital rs miles southeast Of Ba-
tavia. where a British ultimatum
hae ordered all Indonesians out

noon today, the situation remained
tense.
Meanwhile an official British
press statement said that the Brit
ish had used Japanese troops and
tanks in defensive" action against
the Indonesians in factory area
north of Bandoeng, and that the
use of Japanese troops in Soma

areas of Bandoeng under penalty
Of being shot was broadcast by
Indonesian Minister of Information
Amir Sjar-Fuddin. The British said
they were no longer in contact
with Soetardjo governor" of west
Java, who had asked for a truce.
An earlier British communique
said Soetardjo had been very hard
to cooperate, but that his efforts
were proving Intellectual because
he lacked control over the more
violent elements in the Indonesian
ranks.
Gunfire ratified in the Kramat
sector of Batavia only a few blocks

TOKYO, Nov. 29.-Gen Douglas
Macarthur today ordered Japanese
businessmen to resume essential
civilian goods production as quick
ly as possible, and told the jap
anese House of Peers to keep its
doors open to the press at all
sessions.
Macarthur reconversion order
came as Socialist member of the
Japanese Diet charged that the
government was dealing secretly
with occupation officials on food
imports. and warned that the people
were "restive" over the food situa-
ton.
A. headquarters directive told
Japanese producers to stimulate
and encourage immediate, maxi
mum production of all essential
consumers commodities, including
industrial, agricultural and fish
cries products, and commodities
necessary for the production of
such essential consumers goods"
Japanese manufacturers have
been slow to begin production, ap-
parently doubtful of the full mean
ing of conversion and fearful
that they would violate the Allied
headquarters rule against war
goods production if they put into
operation plants once turning out
war materials.
The directive assured producers
that they will get priority in mate
rial, fuel, equipment and labor
needed to turn out goods which help
feed, clothe, and house the jap
anese.
Brig. Gen. Ken R. Dyke, chief
of the civil information and edu-
cation section, said it was Mac
