Precedents Ignored in Asking

In sharp contrast with the
current proposal that the Dis

islation was introduced as re-
Gently as 1941 providing that the

Thus, In the opinion OF persops

13 Soldiers Wounded
In Clash in Batavia
As Peace Talks Fail
lndonesiuns Fire on
Dutch; Reported Set
For War on British
BY the Associated Press.


BATAVIA, Java, Sunday, Nov.
18.- Thirteen native soldiers
from the island of Amboina serv-
ing in the Dutch Army were
wounded today in a skirmish
with Indonesians in the central
part of Batavia.
The outbreak followed the first
conference of Dutch, Indonesian and
British leaders which ended late
last night without a formula for
peace in Java. The official Dutch
news agency Aneta declared that
Indonesian extremists, opposing res
storation of Dutch colonial control,
had called for a war to the death
against British occupying forces.
/. Fighting In the capital began
when truck containing Amboine-
slams became a target Of Indonesian
snipers. The Amboinesians dis
mounted and returned the fire. The
shooting spread to the vicinity of
the international press camp and
the hospital area.
An official British report said that
British troops with tank support
patrolled the area and cleared the
situation" shortly before noon.
Aneta quoted the Nationalist
controlled Jogjakarta radio as de-
claring: "This is the last night Of
peace. Tomorrow we shall start and
either kill the British or drive them
from Java"
Thousands of armed Indonesians
were reported massed in Jogjakarta,
Central Java stronghold of youthful
extremists.
Fighting continued in the Dutch
naval base of Soerabaja, where the
British were advancing slowly and
cautiously against diminishing Indo-
nesian resistance.
Further Meetings Expected.
A communique issued just before
midnight after the 81 hour confer
ence of natives, British and Dutch
in Batavia said no decisions were
reached because "the Indonesian
leaders were not at present in a
position to accept the responsibility
of making definite replies to any
OF the questions discussed"
Further meetings may be expect
ed to take place in five days time, +"
the communique said.
Chief figures in the meeting were
Premier Sutan Sjahrir of the un-
recognized Indonesian republic,
described as moderate, acting Coy
ernor General Hubertus j. van Nook
and 1t. Gen. Sir Philip Christison,
Allied commander in the Neither
lands Indies.
The conference, arranged by Gen.
Christison and presided over by him,
was formal affair, with each OF
the leaders flanked by a staff of ad-
yisors.
Bridgeheads Expanded.
Sporadic disorders were reported
in various parts of Java and the
British command reported a slow
expansion of three bridgeheads its
forces had won across the Semanpi,
canal, which formerly was the Brit
ish eastern perimeter in Soerabaja
At one point, said Associated
Press Correspondent Vern Haug-
land, British troops and Indonesians
were fighting from tombstone to
tombstone through a Chinese ceme-
terry, often at and-to-hand range
