Dutch Ready 10 Halt
Fighting in |ndonesia
BY the Assecioted Press

THE HAGUE, Sept. 23.-The
Netherlands government indicated
today that it was ready to halt mill
tary action in Indonesia of condi-
tions permitted peaceful settle
ment of the Indonesian Republic s
dispute with the Dutch.
At the same time the government
announced it soon would take over
both de facto and de jure authority
in the areas of Eastern and Western
Java occupied by Dutch troops in
their police action" against the
forces of the Republic.
The government statement, read
to Parliament by Premier L. ]. M.
Beel, appealed to constructive ele-
ments" within the Republic to CO.
operate in seeking a solution. But
lit said "malevolent elements" still
were predominant in the republican
government and that this 'interfered
with the renewal of Dutch -Indone-
sian negotiations.
"As long as the possibility seems
stronger that the main purpose
the re-establishment of law and
order and the halting of an unten-
able situation-can be reached with
out the continuance of action by
our troops, the international reper-
cussions which would result from
further action have to be taken into
account to greater extent" the
statement said.

Taft Blasts Democrats
AT Long Range in New
Defense Of Labor Act
BY the Associated Press

EN- ROUTE WITH TAFT TO
SEATTLE, Sept. 23.-A sharply
worded debate with Democratic
officials at long range today en-
livened a new defense of the Taft
Hartley law by Senator Taft, Re
publican, Of Ohio.
The Ohio Senator told a reporter
he plans to answer in a speech at
Gearhart, Greg, later this week
an assertion by Gael Sullivan, DEM
ocratic National Committee direc-
tor, that the next Republican Con-
gress will do nothing about social
welfare legislation.
This will provide a new chapter
In continuing transcontinental
battle of words between TAFT and
Democratic opponents since the
Ohioan began a Western sentiment
sounding tour 10 days ago.
Name Calling" Charged.
Travelling toward Seattle and q
major speech on the labor law there
tonight, Senator Taft accused Sen.
ators Lucas, Democrat, of Illinois
and O'Mahoney, Democrat, OF
Wyoming, in a statement last night
of calling names" instead of Of
fering any solution to the high cost
Of living problem.
Senator Lucas, in a statement in
which Senator O'Mahoney Joined
said Senator Taft had led the fight
in the 18th Congress to wreck
price controls.
The Ohioan, who heads the Senate
Republican Policy Committee, re-
piled it was a Democratic Congress
which refused to enact an OPA
bill in exactly the form demanded
by Mr.. (Chester Bowles, Mr.. CPauD
Porter and the CIO."
He added he had "co-operated in
passing a reasonable OPA BILL" but
that President Truman had vetoed
it and removed all controls after q
second bill was passed.
Challenged to Offer Solution.
Do MessrS. Lucas and O'Mahoney
desire to re-establish OPA?" he de-
manded. Suppose they state their
solution for high prices instead OF
calling names"
Senator Taft's battle with Mr.. Sui
livan revolves about the Senator s
assertion that his Republican col
leagues will be reluctant" to ap-
prove social welfare legislation If the
Government bureaus to administer
it are to be set up by the Truman
administration.
But aides said Senator Taft had
expressed new determination to see
that measures dealing with public
health, housing education and such
welfare problems are presented to
Congress. He already has said the
next session should devote as much
attention as possible to such issues

Clark said. When hope is gone,
democracy is gone"
Turning to press freedom, Mr..
Clark said: If men are to have
freedom, they must build it for
themselves, just as you have fought
for 1t. We in America want a free
press everywhere, even though it
criticizes ourselves.
Not many people think of the
circulation manager or the boys who
bring the paper to people every day,
but in my opinion they are big cogs.
They bring freedom of the press to
the reader"
Mr.. Clark disclosed details of a
recently released report of his de-

To Make Vandenberq
Dark Horse Choice
By the Assoeioted Press

Senator Gurney, Republican, OF
South Dakota predicted today that
Senator Vandenberg, Republican
of Michigan will emerge as the dark
horse Republican presidential nomi-
nee for 194S.
II think we will find that the Re-
publican nominating convention will
face a deadlock among the several
avowed candidates" Senator Cur
ney told a reporter. Then I be-
lieve the convention will get around
to nominating Senator Vandenberg.
The South Dakota Republican
has spent much of the time since
the July congressional recess talk
ing with party leaders and voters in
the Middle West.
Prasies Vandenberg.
Senator Gurney said he is famil-
lar with Senator Vandenberg's re-
peated statements that he is mot a
candidate" for President in 1948 and
plans to continue as president pro
tempore of the Senate and chair
man of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee. But the South Dakota law
maker added:
Il believe that Senator Vanden-
berg would be our best possible Re-
publican candidate. He has a grasp
of both foreign and domestic prob
lens that is second to none. His
experience entities him to first con-
sideration. His executive ability is
known"
Senator Gurney said he had not
consulted Senator Vandenberg, who
is in Michigan.
Michigan Votes Expected.
Politicians here expect the Michi-
gan delegation to the Republican
convention to cast its II votes in
behalf of "favorite son" Vandenberg
on the first ballot at least, as it did
in 1886, 1910 and 1914
AS early as December of last year,
Senator Vandenberg told reporters
he was mot a candidate" for Presi-
dent. He has said so repeatedly
since then. but in one statement he
conceded that he would yield to "a
spontaneous draft" because Il do
not believe any citizen has the
right to deny service to his country,
if and when his service is de-
manded."
Senator Gurney said he expects
such a spontaneous draft of the
S3 3-vear-old Michioan Senator after
early balloting finds announced con-
tenders short of a convention ma
iority."
