BATAVIA. Jan. 23.-6F LIN
the United States Of Indonesia,
Dutch and native troops are
standing by for the command to
counter-a attack a rebel force which
has seized ccaiTol of western ia
va.
Civil war broke out during the
night. Under the command of a
Dutch Army deserter. well arm
ed guerilla force moved against
the west Java capital of Bando-
eng.
All key points in that mountain
city of 10000, including the In
donesian Army headquarters and
the telephone exchange. are said
to be in rebel hands.
The revolt is the first serious
therat to the security of the new
United States of Indonesia since
it came ;,,to being as an indepen-
dent nation less than one month
ago.
The rebel force is described as
a private army led by Captain
Turk" Westerling. who had serv-
eded with the Dutch against the
Indnnesians in the campaign Of
1913. It's hard core is made up Of
other battle-hardened Dutch de-
serters. with a sprinkling of ma
tive Communist and Moslem
hangers-on.
Dutch regular forces remain
ing in Indonesia are backing the
native government in its effort to
put out the revolutionary fire,
and the Dutch Commander is fly
ing to the battle scene. There is
no word yet, however, of any
Dutch forces going into action.
The Indonesian government has
rushed $50 troops to Bandoeng by
air. They will try to keep the
city's airport open.
A Dutch cabinet official today
strongly condemned the Indone-
sian guerrilla attack on Bandoeng.
He said The consequences can
only be fatal for Indonesia."
He is the acting minister for
union matters, Albertus Goetzen
He said no official confirmation
of the news reports had reached
his ministry yet.
The guerilla action is expected
to be discussed by the Dutch cab
met at it's regular weekly meet
ing today.

Young FDR, Jr. has already
demonstrated he intends TO back up
his statements with deeds in the
House. He made a valiant effort
to overcome dilatory actions in the
House on FEPC bill by circulat-
ing a petition to get the bill dis
charged from the powerful Rules
Committee so that the House could
vote on it.
Young Willie, who has entered
the political arena as a member of
the Indiana House of Representa-

His father at that time was a lead

battle for fair employment when
he was head Of the Commonwealth

ed his father to arrange a meeting
with Walter White; he fought the
ban on Negro students at Prince

Navy persuaded Negro mass at
tendants to organize an NAACP
branch.

consistent vocal expression to the
racial ideals he has developed on
