 In IndOnesia
(By Stanley Swinton)

BATAVIA, Java. (P) - The Dutch army announced that mop ping up and consolidation were under way throughout Java today, while in Sumatra they claimed new gains in a drive southward on the Medan front.
 These reports were contained in communique issued just after news reached this Dutch colonial capital that the United Nations Security council would ask both the Dutch and the Indonesian re- public to cease hostilities in prog ress since July 20.
 The Republicans by their own admission were anticipating in tensification of the Dutch push toward their capital of Jogjakarta in south central Java.
 A broadcast from Jogjakarta Friday reported that the Repub- lican high command had declared the city and surroundings to be a military area and had ordered It. Gen. Oerip Soemoahardjo to direct preparations for a last-ditch de- fense.
 The Netherlands army's com munique, in the first official re- port of any Indonesian army sur renders to the Dutch, said 36 Re- publican officers and men had voluntarily given up their arms at Lawang above Malang, East Java.
 The Dutch said they captured 10 Germans and three Japanese at Pematangsiantar, and four other Japanese in south Sumatra and west Java.

 "An effort was made to induce the greatest living authorities on each subject to contribute to the article on that subject" MT. Yus' pointed out. Because of the con- troversial nature of some of the subjects, they are covered by two or more authors, from different points of view"
 Some of the heads or former heads of states who prepared arti- cles for Ten Eventful Years" are President Aleman of Mexico; Edouard Herriot, former Premier of France; King Ion Saud of Saudi Arabia; Prime Minister Alcide de Gasperi of Italy; President Ismet Gnonu of Turkey; Count Michael karolyn, former Prime Minister of Hungary, and Kurt von Schus- chnigg, former Chancellor of Aus tria.

 In order to capture the spirit of the decade before records were misplaced or details forgotten, the editorial work for Ten Eventful Years was accomplished by the Britannica staff in little more than one year." MT. Yust com mented.

"Ten Eventful Years Being Published

significant decade-the years 1887 through l946-will be published in August, it was announced to- day by Walter Yust, editor-in- chief of the Britannica.
 The new four-volume work is unique in that it is written large ly by the very persons most inn portant in the events described and was completed while these events were still fresh in the con- tributors' minds.
 Eight hundred of the most J prominent persons in the world comprise the select list of authors of this new four-volume work, which includes l,5OO articles total ing 3,1O0,OOO words, and illus trated by 1900 photographs, charts and maps
 Among the contributors are 23 heads or former heads of states; authorities representing 40 differ ent nationalitieS; a cross-section of the top Allied military ladership in World War II; scientists and sociologists; philosophers, artists, authors and business executives.
 "The men and women who con- tributed to this work not only saw what happened; in many instances they were largely instrumental in causing it to happen" MT. Yust explained Tn Ten Eventful Years the rush of events during this fateful decade has been or ganized and systematically told by the leading actors of the period" "
 Ten Eventful Years" is differ ent from either the Encyclopaedia Britannica itself, or from Britan ica'S annual Book of the Year, not merely in that it concentrates on the war decade. It also introduces a Britannica innovation, in that it includes articles of opinion as well as of fact.
 It is Britannica's belief that the opinions of peroSnS who played such leading roles in the events described are of themselves part : of the history of the events" MT i Yust explained.
 Thus. the personal reactions of a top military, political or busi- ness leader to a significant hap pening are of immediate interest to everyone who lived through that event, besides being of ines timable value to future hiStori- ans," MT. Yust believes.
 Ten Eventful Years" contains ! probably the most authoritative account yet written of World War II itself-and yet the passages on the war comprise only a minor portion of the four volumes. Trends in business and in public opinion, popular foibleS and fam tasies, political machinations, pub lie taste in dances, songs, movies, comic strips and radio programs all are depicted from the vantage point of world authorities on the subjects. The whole span of hu- man history during the decade Is covered-from atomic fisSion e zoology.
 A few of the contributors to Ten Eventful Years" and the topics they discuss include:
