Radio Address
Addressing the people Of the
East Indies and Holland. Van
Nook emphasized that the Dutch
doubted whether the lndonesian
Republic would be able to enforce
a cease-fire among its forces.
He said:
THE Dutch government shall
have TO observe whether the Re
public will also comply with the
request of the Security council.
It a only declare at this juno
ture that a cessation Of hostilities
should include in its opinion ces-
sation of demolitions, Of acts OF
violence against members and
groups of the population in Repub-
lican territory and OF hostile
propaganda which lately has even
melted to mass murder"
Regarding the Security coun-
ellis action taken Friday at Lake
Success, N. Y, Van Nook said:
although. the Netherlands gov
eminent remains convinced that
there is no ground for interven-
ton by the U. N. Security council
in this case because Article SO
Of the U. N. Charter does not
apply and that the resolution
(passed by the counciD consti-
tutes an interference in the inter
nal affairs Of the kingdom X X X it
nevertheless decided to comply
with the request contained in it."

cessation of hostilities could be
carried out effectively only il

his best foot forward will require
some fancy foot work in the clos
ing weeks of summer in the eco
nomic, political, and diplomatic
fields.
The British economic crisis tops
all others in priority at the mo
ment. Marshall's alarmed eco
nomic aides are searching - in
vain to date-sor ways to tide Bri-
tain over its present difficulties
until the Marshall plan begins to
operate. They are we'll aware that
the bottom will drop out of the
plan unless Britain clings to its
present p%recarious position.
The British government has APP
pealed for drastic revision of the
basic principles in the So. $50, 900,
900 American loan agreement.
Proposed Changes
The proposed changes would ex-
empt the British temporarily from
clauses which prevent them from
discriminating against American
trade and allow them to buy more
Food from sterling areas. With
only ST. 900, 900, 600 Of the loan left,

for the United States to assume

fish are still stalling On talks
about increasing Ruhr coal pro-

mute. The French succeeded in
getting the United States to up
hold its plan for a new German
level of industry which would have
made possible long-range rehabil-
itation planning.
Austria - Reports from Vienna
Of failure of the Big Four deputies
to make any progress on the Aus
trian peace treaty. The Austrians
fear the same Fate as apparently
faces Germany permanent divi-
sion. The deputies were directed
by the Moscow conference to get

which would make possible settle

talks are deadlocked since the
Russians have submitted a mini

The American and Soviet negotia-
tors, ordered back to work after
the Moscow meeting, have failed
to find any common ground for
determining which Korean groups

SPRINGFIELD, ILL., U.H No
one knows exactly how Illinois vii
elect its Is representatives in Con
gress in 1913.
Discovery of a one-word draft
ing flaw in the congressional re
apportionment aet passed by the
legislature June IT put lawyers
end politicians into a other. AS
Gov. Dwight H. Green's admins
tration moved for a speedy court
test of the law, urey foresaW these
possibilities:
l. The state supreme court may
throw out the entire law, ruling
that the state r1ust continue to
elect one congressman-at : large
ard Is congressman from districts
set up in 1901.
2. The court may uphold the
whole law. Then the state could
proceed to elect its members OF
the House of Representatives from
70 new districts, eliminating the
congressman-at-large post.
3. The court may rule that the
cnly constitutional part of the new
law is the section repeating the
reapportionment act. Of 1901. In
that case, some lawyers said, all
Is congressman might have to be
elected by all Of the states voters,
instead of n being elected in
each district.
The outcome OF the court test
will determine whether the Cook
Lake County metropolitan area,
including Chicago, will gain the
three new congressional seats
awarded it by the new law. The
law gives Is districts to Cook and
Lake Counties mad Is to the states
ether 100 counties.
Although the Democrats have
their main Illinois strength IN
Cook County, political effects OF
the new law-if it is upheld-are
uncertain. The Republicans who
drew the law and pushed Al
through the legislature said frank
~ that it was not designed to give
aid and comfort to their political
enemies.
Green signed the redistricting
bill despite the opinion Of Attorney
General George F. Barrett that
the drafting flaw made it uncon-
stitutional. The governor said in
clusion Of the words ''village OF
Stickney' instead o. township G
Stickney" in the description Of the
rev fifth district was a minor
technical error"
Interpretation Needed
A literal Interpretation Of that
section of the law would mean
that voters in the Cook County
township of Stickney, except fol-
those in Stickney village, were If
