Dutch Offer Indonesians
Home Rule in Generation
BY the Associoted Press

BATAVIA, Java, Feb. 26. - The
Netherlands Indies government to-
day said Dutch proposals to Indo-
nesian nationalists were aimed at
giving the islands home rule within
the next generation.
Indonesians would have a vast
majority in the proposed new ad-
ministration, the statement said.
and there would be "a clear transi-
ton of power from the crowns rep
re5cntative to the ministers"
A British liaison mission which
investigated a mutiny of Dutch ma
tive troops at Menado, North Cele-
bes, reported that no further trou-
bic was expected. Leaders of the
mutiny' have been sent to Makassar
for detention. However, leaflets
distributed in Makassar asserted
chat all of Northern Celebes was
under the Indonesian republics red
and white flag.
Java remained generally quiet ex-
cept for a minor skirmish at Ban
doeng, where British troops reported
they had been fired on by Indonesian
Nationalist. Minor fighting also oc-

80 Hours Of Work.
After 80 hours Of hectic work by
all members Of the party, including
the prisoner, the crates were finally
removed and hauled up the steep
mountainside to waiting trucks,
which sped to the frontier unaware
that Czech security police were al
ready in pursuit. Behind them the
Americans left deactivated and
harmless enough explosive to rock
nearby Prague.
The reason for these precau-
tions by the Nazis became quickly
apparent when the crates were
brought to the American a zone

revealed that, in addition to Czech
state documents Of the high
est Importance, the cache included
the following: Complete files kept
by the reichsprotectorate between
1910 and l945 with evidence more
damning than has heretofore come
to light on German occupation
methods, SIS records for Bohemia
and Moravia, top-secret daily Ges-

lists OF Czech collaborators in

Soviet Armed Forces
Merged Into Single
Unit Under Stain
BY the Assccioted Press

MOSCOW, Feb. 26.-The Rus
sian Army, Navy and Air Force
were unified today in a single
commissariat-the armed forces
OF the U. S. S. R.-under the
command of Premier Stain.
The three Soviet fighting forces
were consolidated by decree of the
Presidium of the Supreme Soviet,
which designated Premier Stain
Peoples Commissar of the Armed
Forces and Supreme Commander
in-Chief of the Armed Forces"
Under the leadership of General
issimo Stain, the armed forces of
the U. S. S. r. will henceforth >
improve and develop to the dread
Of the enemies of Soviet power for
the welfare of our people and the
cause OF peace in the entire world"
the government newspaper Izvestia
said in a three-column front page
editorial.
THE Soviet people were doing and
will be doing everything in order
that the Red Army does not stay
behind any army of any country
whatever with regard to different
kinds of armament, and from all
members of our armed forces we
require that they ceaselessly perfect
their military and political plans"
Izvestia said.
The 66-year-old Premier, who had
been defense commissar since July
10, 194l, also is premier and secre-
tary-general of the Central Com
mittee of the Communist Party
The navy commissariat was abol-
lshed in the new organization and
the defense commissariat was trans
formed into the new unified COM
missariat.
Izvestia said the action of the
Supreme Soviet was of enormous
significance"
Other than centralization, the
merger means that the Red Navy
no longer will operate under a
separate commissariat. Admiral of
the Fleet Nikolai G. Kuznetzov. has
been Navy Commissar since 1889.
During the war, Premier Stain
had command of the army and air
force, but the navy remained under
KuznetzoV's direction, although it
was subject to orders of the De-
fense Committee, of which Premier
Stain was head.
Izvestia, lauding Premier Stalins
leadership of the Red Army during
the war, said Russia's armed forces
now will vigilantly guard the peace

will secure the state interests of the
Soviet Union and hold the boun-
daries of our country inaccessible to

CPA officials on the other hand
said series Of investigations by the
agency had disclosed very little
boarding of clothing.
A spokesman for the agency, stat
Ing that another investigation is
about to begin, said that if Mr..
Rothschild has any evidence of
boarding, CPA Chief John D. Small
would like to have it Immediately.
