IndOnesian Troops Move
To Surround Rebel Area
BY the Associated Press

JAKARTA. Indonesia, July 15.-
Federal troops have started NOV
ing into the Molucca Islands in an
effort to surround -Amboina and
prepare for an amphibious assault
on the rebellious stronghold, gov
ernment officials disclosed tonight.
The officials confirmed large
troop movements had begun, but
the Defense Ministry clamped
secrecy on the extent and details
of the operation.
Rebel Radio Amboina said Fed
eral troops went ashore at Namlea
Island, north of Amboina. In
Jakarta, the secretary general of
the Defense Ministry, Ali ,Budiard-
jo, would not deny the radio re-
port but refused to elaborate.
"You know we have been plan

Long-Ronge Bombers Sit Out
War in Korea, Lacking Targets

iterfered. From June through
September the weather usually
isn't good in Korea. 1t is slightly
better over the Eastern half of
Korea, but clouds and fog must be
expected over the Western side,
where United States forces are
deployed.
Bad Weather a Factor.
It is impossible or difficult for
airplanes to give close-in support
to ground troops in bad weather.
Also, to avoid shooting UP or
bombing friendly forces, definite
bomb line" must be established.
The idea is to keep all bombs and
gunf1re aimed beyond the line.
But as the American and South
Korean forces fell back the lines
were ill-def1ned at the fluid,
shifting battlefront.
The worry over the air effort in
Korea during the last two weeks
has involved some complaints
that the F-8O jet fighters used by
the USAF were not the best for
air support of ground forces. The
Air Force has denied this, con-
tending that they were usually
good. stable platforms" for
launching small bombs, rockets
and machine gun fire at ground
targets.
But jet aircraft have handicaps
as used tactically in the Korean
theater. They operate most eff
GENTLY in their primary role
high altitude interceptors. When
they come down ION the deck"
the low altitude operation eats up
fuel fast. This means their time
in the air is reduced. Until more
air strips can be built in South
Korea the problem will continue.
In addition. jet fighters need
longer fields than conventional
planes.
