control legislation expires June

some miracle permit price con-
trolls on finished housing, they
would not be extended beyond

good. Bowles will courageously
fight for more control, however.

knowing he tries to head off the

to criticize former Secretary Of

President Truman, Secretary Of

defense, but Byrnes went even
farther. declaring this was the
first time in u. S. history that
any Army officer had dared
criticize a civilian official on the

ever, and appealed in succession
to the United States, Great Britain
and Soviet Russia to intervene and
stop the return OF Dutch FORCES
and colonial rule.
The British attacked Soerabaja
and according to the 1ndonesians
killed thousands and thousands"
in an unmistakable display OF
naval, aerial and artillery force.
The 1ndonesians were found to be
fighting with japanese arms and
to have considerable Japanese in.
spiration in one way or another.
|. This display of force was fol-
lowed by the swift change-over in
the face Of the Indonesian govern.
ment. It apparently reopens the
way to peaceful negotiations.
Otherwise the net result has been
considerable losses on both sides,
and success by the Indonesians in
bringing their case more fully to
the attention of the world.
Whether the price paid will bring
peace remains to be seen.
