So far these officials say, it is
controlled by Asiatic Communists,

sumably the general idea was

The offensive, British ofiicials say,
may be extended elsewhere later.
This Is the picture. country by
country, as reported by Associated
Press correspondents:
Indonesia-Qualified sources be-
lieve Communists count Indonesia
as one Of their most promising
fields for winning supporters. The
Indonesian republic is gradually be-
ing worn down by what is in effect
a Dutch economic blockade during
a year of so-far fruitless UN
negotiations for a permanent settle
ment. The Republicans have
steadily lost influence since the
Dutch military offensive last sum-
mer which drove Republican forces
out OF the richest sections of Java
and Sumatra.

sources believe Indochina is the
second place on which Communists
are counting strongly.
About 10000 French and French
Colonial troops have frustrated
Vietnamese hopes for independence
but have not yet been able actually
to defeat the Nationalists. The

French have now set up a central
Vietnam government" which most
foreign observers consider a puppet
regime virtually without popular
support. The French have excluded
and refused to deal with theh Wet
nam Republicans. To head their
new regime they are re-enthroning
the former Emperor Bao Dai who
is generally conceded to have little
popular backing.
Communist influence already is
strong in Vietnam. Only 10 or 20
per cent of the Vietnam revolution
ary rank and file are Communists.
But the top leadership avowedly is
Communist.

that it is Communist directed. NAL

lis Communist TARGET,
j. ). Official Charges.
BY the Assoeioted Press

A State Department official
charged last night that the Com
munists are trying to wreck the
agreement between the Dutch gov
ernment and the Indonesian Re-
public.
This agreement provides for crea-
ton Of a Netherlands Indonesian
union. The charge was made In a
radio address by H. Merrell Ben
ningho1, deputy director OF the Of
flee of Far Eastern Affairs.
The basic agreement between the
Netherlands and the Indonesian Re-
public was worked out under United
Nations sponsorship last January
on board an American naval trans
port, the U. S. S. Renville. 1t Is
known as the Renville agreement.
Mr.. Bennington declared that in
working out the details of the agree
ment there are, Of course. normal
difIiculties In negotiations and
honest doubts on both sides"
Il am sorry to tell you" he con-
tinued, that in addition to these
difficulties there are those who are
conniving to subvert the ends sought
in the Renville agreements. They
are those same people whose policies
require the presentation and the
intenSification of chaos and hatred
everywhere in the world.
Those people viewed the accep-
tance OF the Renville agreements IN
January with genuine alarm and
they have tried ever since to destroy
the faith of the Netherlands people
and the Indonesian people In the
just and practical character OF the
proposed settlement. Their ways
are devious and ruthless.
You know of whom l speak-the
Communists, who even at this hour
are at work in the Netherlands, in
Indonesia, through Asia and even
in the United States to call the good
faith of the good offices committee
of the United Nationsl and its work
into question"

| At least "a Chinese and Europeans
have been killed in these attacks.
The Communists control an army
of up to 5000 trained guerrillas who
operated under allied officers against
the Japanese during the war. These
men operate on a military basis
and are well armed and oflcered.
In addition they control several doz-
en- killer gangs, numbering from 10
to "a each. whose specific task Is
the assassination OF Europeans and
Chinese in key positions on rubber
estates and tin mines.
Rubber production has been
slowed.
The government has struck back
hard. Emergency police powers have
been invoked both In Malaga and
Singapore.
Military reinforcements have been
moved into Malaga, and 600 persons
have been arrested in mass raids.
But the assassinations continue.
Siam Rounds Up 60.
Open fighting has been reported
for months between Communist
guerrillas and forces Of the leftist
government. Before Britain granted
Burma independence in January, the
Communists were among the loudest
advocates Of immediate independ-
ence. Once 1t was granted, they
turned against the new independent
government.
Police Chief Chartrakarn Kosol
said there has been increased Com
munist activity In Bangkok, includ-
ing secret meetings and increased
left-wing labor activity. Although
relatively calm, Siam fears it may
be next on the Communist list.
About 60 alleged Communists have
been rounded up for banishment. ;,

A Russian embassy was estab-

has been speculation it might be-

'munist activity in all Southeast

American informants say there Is
no evidence yet that the Russian

kidding him about going out to the

by offering 10 put up signs along
Benning road so policemen can find
their way to the new precinct to be
carved out Of the llth precinct
territory.
1t. Murphy is used to being in on
the beginning of things. He was one
of the original members OF the
crime prevention unit set up by Po-
lice Supt. Pelham D. Glassford in
1882. He set up the Juvenile Bureau
In 1914 and made it going concern.
He nearly had another first" but
the credit for that one he gives to
Serrt. Robert J. Fraser, now re-
tired. Sergt. Fraser was the flrst
policeman to take over a traffc
crossing at a school. 1t. Murphy
was the second.
Now At, 1t. Murphy started out
walking a beat in the 9th precinct
in 1924. He recalls that youngsters
bent on wrongdoing would dlsap-
pear with the cry, Here comes Old
Man Murphy"
Il was just kid cop at the time"
he said
n
conner, said one day, Murphy, don't
you think we could make better use
of our time ii we guided kids across
the school streets?"
Seret. Fraser later was stabbed
over the heart and had to retire, but
that was the beginning OF school
crossing policemen.
Those Were Turbulent Times"
In 1882. Gen. Glassford started
what later became the public rela-
tions squad, but was organized for
crime prevention.
Instead of preventing crime 1t.
Murphy recalled. we spent our time
following around the leaders Of the

George Small Resigns
 From Board

George Small, president of Pal mer schools board of education, officially rendered his resigna- tion at last weeks meeting. Prior to that time, Mir. Small had written pr. James Ryan, com missioner of education, inform ing him of his intention.
 MT. Small said he expected his business to keep him away from the Valley a good deal during the coming year and he felt he would be unable to do justice to his position on the school board.
 Mrs. Don Irwin and Glen Woods, remaining board mem bers, discussed the resignation but took no action toward ap- pointing a third board member. Dr. Ryan informed them by let ter that they were free, either to appoint replacement for Mir. Small or to conduct the work of the school alone. The pair decid- ed to wait for an expression of public opinion before taking ac- tion.
 The potato harvest was dis cussed. It was decided that there would be no official potato va cation" at Palmer school this year, but that all students need ed in the harvest would be ex- cused. Students will be required to bring a slip from their en- ployer or parents showing hours and days of employment before gaining re-admiSsion to their classes.

Valley 10 Have Food, Merchonts Promise
Continued from Page D

Continued from Page D ley'S food consumption totals approximately 45 tons a week.
 The group urged that some re- lief measures be taken immedi- ately. The wire addressed to Governor Gruening pointed out that there are many homestead CTS residing in the Valley who will be unable to live on their S100 a month allowance, if forced to pay airfreight prices for their food.
 Carl Rasmussen, executive sec retary of the board of directors of the Matanuska Valley Farm CTS Cooperating Association, re- ported that shortages existed as a whole, over the Valley, but that he believed the Coop would be able, through careful plan ming, to take care of the needs of its customers.
 Feed is the most pressing prob lem, according to Mir. Rasmussen. Coop chicken and dairy feed supplies are now being rationed to Coop customers. Sales will be made to customers only, until the strike ends, he said. If sales are continued on the present basis, it is estimated that the Coop can take care of customer needs for another 60 days.
 If there is no relief in sight at the end of that period, chickens may have to be slaughtered. The dairy industry may be curtailed, but will sustain no serious harm, MT. Rasmussen said. The hay crop has been excellent this year, and herds can be carried through with native feed, although milk production undoubtedly will drop.
 Jan Koslosky of KosloSky's De- partment Store reported that his firm was almost out of su- gar, but that all other supplies on hand will meet demands for another two weeks. By that time, Mir. Koslosky expects his sup plies to be augmented by delivery of another IT tons of groceries, which were scheduled to leave Tacoma by barge this week.
 Meat, if the shortage becomes pronounced, will be flown in, MT. Koslosky said. Other staples may
