5000 in Java Ask Vote
lon Sundanese State
By tho Associated Press

l
BANDOENG, Java, May 5-A
mass meeting of 5000 supporters Of
the Sundanese Peoples Party yes
terday requested the Dutch and IN
donesian Republican government to
conduct plebiscite to determine
whether a separate Sundanese state
should be set up in Western Java.
The party promised that If the
plebiscite were successful the new
state would join the Federated
United States of Indonesia under
the Netherlands crown. It is esti-
mated the state would embrace a
population OF about $4,000, 900 Sum
danese.
Separatist leaders said the United
Nations would be asked to supervise
the plebiScite.
Political observers here immedi-
ately predict that the separatist
movement might have explosive re-
percussions on political negotiations
now under way between the Meth
erlands and the Indonesian Repub-
lie, which signed on March rs an
agreement ending the 19-month- old
Indonesian revolution. Under this
agreement the Netherlands already
has recognized the Indonesian Re-
public's authority over all of Java,
Sumatra and Madlra except for
eight small Dutch occupation zones.
While Dutch officials disclaim any
sponsorship Of the Sundanese sepa-
ratist movement. many Indonesian
Republicans believe it is unofflcially
sponsored by the Dutch as part OF a
divide and rule" policy.

U. 5. Envoy Believes
He Saw By Flying in
Moscow Air Parade
sy The AsseeIoted Press

An American Ambassadors re-
port on an air parade over Moscow
may throw some light on the mys-
terry Of five United States B-29
bombers which fell into Russian
hands during the war.
1t. Gen. Walter Bedell Smith,
Ambassador to Russia, who arrived
here over the week end for series
OF conferences. told reporters In
Berlin that during the May Day
parade at Moscow he saw 100 let
planes overhead and large, four
engined bomber which looked very
much like q B-29"
United States lease-lend aid to
Russia did not include B-29s, but
during the course of operations
against Japan five Superfortresses
made forced landings or crashed
in Siberia or in Russian controlled
areas Of China.
The crews eventually made their
way home but the airplanes were
retained by Russia, then a neutral
In the war between the Western
Allies and Japan.
At least two of the B-29s were
reported to have been in fyable
condition.
Airmen here, discussing Gen.
Smiths remark, suggested there
were several possibilities:
1. The bomber he saw indeed
might have been one OF the air.
planes which were retained by the
Soviets.
2. It might be a copy or modifca-
ton OF one of those planes, which
would suggest Russia had gone into
production of long-range bombers-
type she ignored during the war.
3. Gen. Smith, an Army officer
but not an airman, might have been
mistaken in his identification.
AAF officials have let it be known
that they have no great concern
over the fact that another power
has access to the wartime B-29
models. Those airplanes have been
out of production for almost year.
Other types, of far greater range,
speed and bomb carrying ability are
in production, including the B-50,
successor to the B-29, and the B-36,
reported to have 36-ton bomb ca
pacity and range, with lesser
bomb load, up to 10000 miles.

Brewster Sees Oil Royalties
OF S Billions for Saudi Arabia

under contracts with American COM
panies that run until 1899.
The committee began its inquiry
into Arabian oil after j. A. Moffett,
former Federal housing official and
oil company executive, contcnded
that the Navy had paid more than
$50, ,000,00 in excess prices for oil
during the war. The Navy denied
this.
Mr.. Moffett said he had written
President Roosevelt and offered the
same oil at a much lower price in
1941 If the United States would ad-
vance $50, 0,000, 900 in royalties to
King Ibn Saud. The offer was re-
jected, but the Senate committee
has been unable to obtain docu-
ments pertaining to this and other
Arabian oil deals from either Gov
ernment or Roosevelt files.
Senator Brewster said the Thurs
day session should place on the
record just what happened to all
the papers and documents upon
President Roosevelt's death"
There are acres of them" Sena-
tor Brewster continued, "and we
want to know just how the execu-
tors and custodians are determin-
ing what are public papers and what
are private"
Senator Hatch said: at is for the
committee to decide which papers
dealing with the Arabian oil mat
ter are pertinent regardless of
whether they are classed as public
or private"
President Truman has refused
Senator Brewster's request that q
committee investigator be allowed
to search the Roosevelt papers for
any documents pertinent to the oil
inquiry. Instead, Mr.. Truman said
he would have the Roosevelt execu-
tors deliver any documents they
could find bearing on the matter.

ties from American oil companies.

in separate interviews they are con-
fident the committee viii receive all
papers and document from the files
of President Roosevelt dealing with

Basil O'Connor, one of the exec
utors Of the Roosevelt estate, and
other custodians of the voluminous
Roosevelt papers at Hyde Park,
NY, have agreed to discuss the oil
documents at a closed door session
Iof the committee Thursday.
Meanwhile, a Senator who would
not permit use of. his name, said a
separate investigation of the multi
million dollar oil transactions has
been launched by the Justice De-
partment.
Senator Brewster said he learned
that all State Department records
dealing with Arabian oil had been
turned over to the Justice Depart
ment, but he added that the COM
nittee had not asked why.
Senator Brewster said the esti-
mate of $4,000, 100000 royalty in
come for King Ibn Saud was based
on testimony and documents al
ready before the Senate investi-
gators. He said these show that
there are 20,0Oo,O0o,00O barrels of
oil in the rich Saudi Arabian fields
and that the King is to receive

reach the end of their 1947 cam
paigns in Philadelphias huge Mu-

outcome as difficult to predict as in

The Army, although its unbeaten
string of victories was halted at 80
by Columbia, will enter the fray with
a much better seasons record. But
the Cadets lack the scoring punch
that carried them to victory the last
three years when Doc Blanchard,
Glenn Davis and Arnold Tucker
the "B, d and T"-roamed the grid
iron for the Black Knights from
West Point.
While the Middies have only a
lone victory over Cornell and tie
with Duke to show for eight games,
they are confident of scoring their
first victory since 1943 over Earl
Blaik's gold-clad warriors who have
won four, lost two columbia and
Notre Dame) and tied Illinois and
Pennsylvania.
Good Weather Forecast.
"The men have a great will to
win and think they have great
chance to do so," said Head Coach
Tom Hamilton as he led the Middies
into Navy headquarters at Pine
Grove Golf Club in nearby Clemen-
ton, N. j. "All our reports on the
Army are complimentary. But we
think we're good, too"
