BATAVIA, Nov. 4. - up - "A
British announcement that the
Army would hold no more press
conferences to give information on
the military situation in the re-
bellious Netherlands East Indies
drew vigorous protest today
from foreign correspondents.
The ruling, which correspondents
said would seriously handicap them
in attempts to present an accurate
pir ture of events, also banned in
terviews with Allied officers I'M
less the officer first obtained per-
mission from the Southeast Asia
Command.
British military officials said
they planned to issue Handouts
twice daily in lieu of the press con-
ferences, the &C relations office

Java, but that some new instances
of 1ooting had occurred in Batavia.
It said tension had relaxed con-
siderably in Soerabaja.
The statement tended to mini
mize yesterdays reports by Allied
pilots of 100000 Indonesian troops
on the move in Central Java, a
prime trouble spot in the fighting
between British Indian troops and
Indonesians clamoring for indepen-
dence from Dutch Colonial rule.
President Soekarno of the unrec-
ognized ''Indonesian Republic re-
turned to Batavia after aiding in
effecting a truce at Mageland.
The Indonesians said contact
bureau had been set up at Mage
lang between Indonesians and the
British who will supervise evacua-
ton of internees. A direct tele-
phone communication was set up
between Magelang and the Port
city of Senarang to facilitate
settling of any future disputes.

Washington became the focus OF
reconversion labor turmoil today
as labor and management repre-

than 265, 900 persons away from

Simultaneous with the conference
opening, Price Administrator Ches-

as a means of lowering prices.
Higher wages, he said, increase
productivity and expand the de-
mand for farm and other products.
Developments on the strike
scene over the weekend included:
l. More than a hundred Grey

Rod needed by all vegetables
before they are ready to eat.
Quick crops such as radishes,
green onions, lettuce, mustard,
beet green's, Swiss chard, spin
ach, garden cress and parsley
will be ready in as little as six
weeks after sowing of seed, if
conditions are favorable. Two or
three paintings of these crops
should be made, spaced widely
enough apart to provide tender
green's for a considerable period.
No gardener can make long sea-
son plants hurry, so those folks
who grow Brussels sprouts, par
ships, squash, corn, onions, to-
matoes, late cabbage and many
others, will have to wait three
or more months after planting
to get the vitamins stored up In
those vegetables.
Another factor in planning the
garden is the growing habits Of
different vegetables. Some of
them do not like hot weather,
while others droop as soon as the
temperature drops. Lettuce. spin
ach, Chinese cabbage and similar
green's grow best in cool weather,
so they should be planted early
and not grown during summer.
However. such vegetables may
be sown during late August In
many sections to provide an au-
tumn harvest. Beans, corn, to-
matoes, peppers, cucumbers and
egg plants need plenty of heat
and should not be planted until
danger of frost has passed. Wait
until the apple blossoms are open
before sowing snap beans and
sweet corn, while tomato, egg
plant, lima beans, cucumbers,
squash and the like should not
be planted until the apple bios
