Dutch Call u. ). Plan
Interference With
Indonesian Issue
By the Associated Press

bAIAc ooSSGiSS, Odll. L t.-11l Va
fetal Dutch spokesman in New
York declared last night that q
suggested American plan to settle
the Indopesian problem was "un-
paralleled interference"
The American plan, suggested in
formally, calls for establishment OF
a sovereign United States of Indo-
nesia by April l, 1850. 1t also would
broaden the present United Nations
Good Of1ices Committee into a U. N
Commission for Indonesia with
power to supervise transfer of au-
thority from the Netherlands to
the federation.
The Dutch spokesman said the
plan was completely unacceptable
to his government. He said it
threatens to create conflict between
the Security Council and the Meth
erlands" and lis in conflict with the
U. N. charter itself"
He added, however, that the p.>.
is being studied both in The Hague
and Batavia.
A spokesman for the American
delegation predicted that new de-
mands for the release of Indonesian
political prisoners held by the
Dutch would result from a report

ported to the Council yesterday that
five high leaders of the republic,

Dutch government said it did not

Republic were confined under

about it. The Dutch previously
had told the United Nations

leaders had been released from
custody, and five of these had

The punch hurt the VA so
badly that II quickly assem-
bled lis battery Of public re-
latioaS men and ordered them
20 tell the public that the
Readers Digest blow never
even touched US
The public relations men
read the Digest article and
then proceeded TO lombard
newsmen with a 25-page an
swer 10 the charges made by
the magazine. Despite their
efforts an examination OF
their 25-page document does
more TO prove the charge
made by the Digest than II
does 10 diSprove them
II - not the intention OF
tins column 10 support the
charges Of inefflciency made
against the VA by the Digest.
In the first place. many OF
the charges made against the
VA oy the Digest were based
on findings OF the Hoover
Commission which placed a
former president of the Pru-
Dental Life Insurance Conn
pany in charge of the VA
investigation Since the atti-
tude OF some OF the large in
Surance companies toward $
the VAS handling Of National
Service Life Insurance IS
known. il was TO be expected
that the Hoover Commission
would come up with some
pretty rough findings about
the agency.
In the second place, TINS coll
umn has commended all along
that the conduct of affairs by
the VA is already a national
disgrace. The only difference
is that II has contended that
the disgrace is occasloned not
by incificiency but by the
VAS handling Of the problems
OF colored veterans IN such a
manner as TO exclude them or
segres gate them in IT'S hospitals

up one item which this column
has sought to emphasize 20

is the importance Of veterans

Some records went into the

trash or were thrown into
toilets because employees were
irritaLed at the moving task"
The amazing thing about
this charge is that the VAS
answer does not categorically
deny that some records have
been thrown in the trash or
into toilets. Instead the VA
admits that il has no record
OF any large scale loss OF
records az any time
II admits that in a move
from New York some records
were damaged in a small fire,
that others were sldetracked
in railway car for some days
and that in another instance
papers were found in water
closet but these were work
sheets and not vital records"
The important thing here
seems to be that the VA does
not at all times maintain its
records in such a manner that
the records Of each man is
readily available. This is clear
ly brought out by the Digest
IN the case OF John S.
Power. a government econo-
mist who was killed acciden-

Because Of the poor shape
OF the VAS records on Power,
his widow and her three chill
dren were thrown on charity,
and President Truman himself
had TO step in before she could
collect the $4,000 she was due
as the result OF her husbands
death.
The VA called this "a bad
case" and went on to point
out that 1t did not have Mrs.
Powers correct address and
that she had a friend" who
was an experienced adjudica-
tor in the VA who side
tracked" her husbands file in
an effort to help speed her
claim.
The point here is that il
Powers had done his part by

his wife mad exact copies of

had done its part by caring
