Van KIeffens Asserts
u. n. HasNo Authority
In Indonesian Fighting
BY the Asseeietsd Press

The Netherlands Ambassador, Dr..
Eelco Van Kleffens, says Indone-
sian fighting is outside the jurisdic-
ton of the United Nations. :.
DR.. Van Kleffens, former Foreign
Minister and his governments
United Nations representative, told
a news conference late yesterday
that the Australian and Indian
complaints to the Security Council
are unfounded.
Both Australia and India appealed
to the U. N. Security Council yes
terday to take urgent action to halt
the fighting in Indonesia.
Our dispute with the Indonesian
Republicans is like a dispute be-
tween your Federal Government
and one of your States" DR.. Van
Kleffens asserted.
Mediation Attempt Denied.
The new envoy interrupted the
conference at one point to receive
telephone call. Returning, he said
he had just been advised from The
Hague that there Is mot a word of
truth" in published reports that the
Netherlands government is prepar-
ing to ask Britain to mediate.
DR.. Van Kleffens said that all
political parties in The Netherlands,
except the Communists, support the
governments resort to force in In
donesia.
Asked whether he believes Com
munist pressure is involved IN the
situation, he said:
DO you know any country where
they are not exerting pressure? It
would be surprising if Indonesia
were an exception"
DR.. Van Kleffens told an in
quirer he does not think Australia's
prime minister was motivated by
unfriendly feelings in referring the
Indonesian issue to the Security
Council.
Security Seen Motive.
Australia, he said, is deeply con-
cerrned because of a desire for Sc
curity against any future attack
from the north like the japanese
planned invasion after Pearl Har-
Dor.
But he added that Australia may
regret the act later on"
Voicing hope the Dutch military
campaign will be completed soon,
DR.. Van Kleffens said The Neither
lands then would like very much"
for the United States to help reach
a settlement in any way feasible.
Already, he said, the way has been
opened for restoration of normal eX-
port trade. An American ship is
due to sail in a few days with a
cargo of rubber from the Java port
of Cheribon, he reported.
Many Messages Received.
Dr. Van Kleffens reported that
he had received many messages
from Americans demanding, why
do you deny the Indonesians their
freedom?"
His response, he said, Is:
1T is We who want to bring these
people freedom. which is being de-
MED them by terroristic conditions
in Indonesia."
In appealing to the Security
Council to take urgent action to
halt the fighting in Indonesia, the
delegatio of Australia and India
told the council the strife threat
ened world peace
DR.. Oscar Lange of Poland, Coun-
Gil president, immedia tely. declared
the ease would be treated ssas "a
matter of urgency" and that it
would be taken up without the usual
three"day notice which is required
normally. He indicated the Council
might be called for this morning.

House Group May Probe
Philadelphia News Guild
By the Associated Press

Chairman Hartley of the House
Labor Committee said yesterday the
committee will look into complaints
that the CIO American Newspaper
Guild in Philadelphia Is trying to
keep members from resigning.
Mr.. Hartley told reporters one
guildsman, who said he spoke for
others, has written him that the
guild is not only forbidding resigna-
tions but also threatens suit for
back dues. The chairman said an
investigator will make preliminary
check. If warranted, he said, the
committee will investigate.
In Philadelphia. Irving Fagen, ad-
ministrative officer of the Pnila-
delphia Camden Guild, issued this
statement:
'"The guild denies that any guild
members are being sued or had ever
been sued for back dues. The gen.
eral membership of the Philadelphia
Camden local voted at its July
meeting to reject designations of

French Assembly Urges
Action to End Sitdown

PARIS, July 81 LP)-The French
cabinet weighed today National AS
sembly resolution urging it to press
Britain for a speedy End humane
solution to the vexing problem
posed by 4,50O Jewish refugees who
are staging sitdown on three Brit
ish transports anchored off Frances
Mediterranean coast
The resolution was adopted late
yesterday by unanimous vote of the
assembly, which also congratulated
the French government for not at
tempting to impose course of
action on the Jews
Dispatches from Port-de-Bouc on
Frances southern coast reported
signs of growing restlessness among
the shipbound Jews, who have re-
fused to disembark in protest against
being shipped back to France after
a frultless attempt to crash the gates
of Palestine.
Food Short on Ship. N
The discomforts of life aboard
the crowded ships which left Pales-
tine almost three weeks agpd1were
increased by extremely hot weather
and by shortage of rations.
Some observers in Port-de- -Bouc
frankly expressed relief that the
British were playing waiting game,
hoping that the broiling sun might
change the Jews minds about going
ashore.
Advices from London. however,
indicated that the British govern
ment was at loss as to how to deal
with the problem.
British sources said it seemed out
of the question to disembark the
Jews forcibly. The only alternatives,
they said. appeared to be to send
them to detention camps in Cyprus
or take them to some other European
port under British authority-such
as Hamburg.
The situation was complicated by
the fact that the convoy was not
provisioned for a long voyage.
Thirty Go Ashore.
About 80 of the refugees already
have left the ships, many of them
to seek medical aid, and French
sources in Port-de-Bouc said at least
IS more were expected to disembark
today. One of the landed refugees
was reported to have eluded French
authorities and disappeared.
French authorities in Port-de-
Bouc also were investigating reports
that one of the refugees had been
accused by his fellow passengers OF
being German concentration camp
guard, prompting him to request
that he be landed with three mem
bers of his family.
Two of the transports, the Empire
Rival and Ocean Vigor, yesterday
moved further out to sea and an
chored S miles off Port-de-Bouc.
The other, the Runnymede Park,
remained near the harbor entrance.

FOUR CARS INVOLVED
IN COLUMBUS RID. CRASH

Four cars were involved in an
unusual accident on the Colum-
bus rd., 81 miles south of Ma
rySville at 2:45 a. m. Sunday,
Highway Patrolman II. G. Ram
sey reported The cars were driv-
en- by Ralph w. Charles, 20,
Mechanicsburg; Jack Kreakbaum,
81, Charles Roosa, 81, and Will
liam Griffin, Il all, of Marysville.
Charles, headed toward Co
lumbus in a 194l Ford Coach,
decided to return to Marysville
and pulled into a lane back "a
round. He became stuck and
tagged Kreakbaum to pull him
out. The latter hooked the front
of his machine to the rear of
Charles car with a long chain,
and began backing across the
road.
Once Charles was freed, Kreak-
baum stopped with his car on the
left side of the road and Charles
machine on the right.
Runs Into Tow Chain
Before they had a chance to
unhook the chain, Roosa ap-
preached, headed toward Marys-
vile. Confused by the position
of the headlights on the Kreak-
baum and Charles cars, RooSa
attempted to pass between them
and ran into the chain, damaging
the front end of his 1888 Ford
coupe.
A few seconds later, Griffin,
driving a 1898 Pontiac sedan,
crashed into the rear of Roosa's
I car, knocking it into a nearby
cornfield. Front and right side
of the Griffin car was damaked,
and the Roosa machine was fur
ther damaged about the rear end.
Kreakbaum was driving a l94l
Ford coach belonging to Robert
Raley, and it was damaged about
the right front end.

Stomach ulcers, known properly

SOiIed CoIIarline

Collarlines of shirts, dresses and
blouses are one of their most vul-
nerable points of wear. One reason
is the extra rubbing done on laun-
dry day to remove soil from collars
and neck facings. 1t will save wear
and time as well-to use grease
solvent on these soiled areas before
laundering. Such solvents as carbon
tetrachloride, benzene and alcohol
dissolve the oil in the stain. Other
types of soil present, probably held
in by the oil, will now be easier
to wash out. Thus extra Soaping and
rubbing usually needed for soiled
necklines may be eliminated. This
procedure should not be used on
rayons, however, until the solvent
has been tested on some inconspicu-
GUS part of the garment. Acetone,
ether and some other common SOL
vents will dissolve acetate and are
therefore harmful to fabrics which
contain acetate fibers.
