teams of geologists out there for

That considerable mineral

and counted upon to pay the ex-

The new Indonesian republic,

the Dutch position in the present
condominium.
There's nothing woolly about
the issue in Western New Guinea.
The IndoneSians assert that the
Dutch share is part of the Indo-
nesian archipelago and should
have been surrendered during the
round-table conference held last
summer at the Hague.
The Dutch state that New
Guinea is, instead, part of the
Pacific area and neither geo.
graphically, politically nor racially
cied with Indonesia.
3. Scientifically speaking. the
Dutch are standing on more solid
ground, for no one could conscien-
tiously group the primitive, fuzzy
headed New Guinea islanders
with the inhabitants Of what used
to be the Dutch East Indies.
Biologically, the Dutch stand is
supported by the Wallace and
Weber Lines, which divide the
fauna and fora of Asia from
those of the Pacific. Geographic
cally. New Guinea possesses land
link with Australia at the Torres
Straits. Thus. the only support
for the Indonesian claim stems
from the historical fact that the
Netherlands colonial government
once administered Western New
Guinea from the Moluccan island
Of Amboina, which Central Java
recently took.
Situation Is Fiery
In view of President Soekarno's
calm absorption of the 16 auton-
omous states of the United States
of Indonesia last August, the
United Nations should not be
quite as /credulous concerning
Indonesian claims as it once was.
Those 16 states were set up just
to prevent Central Java from
swapping up the comparatively
helpless minorities. and Soekarno's S
sudden reputation of the round
table agreement occurred just a
few days after the short-lived
pact was signed.
So. when 1ndonesia swears that
New Guinea is Irian and they are
going to get it. and when Holland
vows that it is New Guinea and
they are going to keep it. a sitna-
ton is born where sparks may
fly again.

the home crisis is the problem Of
the bli jvers-the Dutch born in
what is now Indonesia-who must
now migrate from the islands of
their birth and cannot return to

which has no room for them in
any event.
These Indies-born Netherland-
ers. nu nbering more than a
quarter Of a million, are now as
homeless as any DPS, and a new
homeland musC be provided for
them. New Guinea seems to be
the answer.

Healthier Climate Now
When the sturdy shippers and
traders of the United East India
Co. laid out their city plans in
Java some four centuries ago. the
road ahead looked fairly plush.
The population, although not en-
tlrely cordial, was frienoly enough
after it was discovered that the
Dutch weren't alter their religions,
their jewels or their wives, and
they were provided with food and
labor. The only fly in the oint-
ment was malaria and in the early
days Of the 10th century there
was little quinine and no atabrine
at all.

A voice identified by a Korean

COMISKEY PARK, Chicago,
July 11.-Favored by perfect
weather. the 17th annual ALL
Star game attracted a capacity
crowd of $4,000 baseball fans here
this afternoon. The American
Leaguers. victors in IL of 16 pre-
vious games. were favorites at
about 9 to over their National
League rivals.
Vic Raschi of the Yam
kess, starting for the American
Leaguers-the home team-was

pm. (2:30 Washington time) to
Willie (Puddin head Jones of the
Phillies. leadof man for Burt
Shotton's National Leaguers. An
other Phillies' youngster, Robin
Roberts, brilliant right-hander
was Shotton's starting pitcher.
Neither Shotton nor Casey
Stengel, the American Leaguers
pilot, would give much informa.
tion as to what other pitchers they
planned to use. Both have come
in for severe criticism for selecting
so many of their own Dodgers ano
Yankees.
However, it was likely that
Preacher Rowe, Brooklyn left
handler, would be called on, and
Ewell Blackwell of the Reds also
was a probable choice. The string
bean Blackwell always has been
effective against the American
Leaguers.
It was understood that Stengel
leaned to Ted Gray, Tigers left
handler, as his second pitcher. since
both Art Houtteman of the Tigers
and Bob Lemon of the Indians
worked Sunday. Ray Scarborough
who was traded by the Mats to the
White Sox last May, also was g
good bet to get in the game.

For District Payment;
House Cut Restored
Proposal Will Be Sent
To Conferees; Accord Is
Sought on Supply Bill
By Don S. Warren

Without a word of debate, the
Senate today approved a $12 mil
lion Federal payment toward Dis
trict government costs for this
fiscal year. the full amount called
for by existing law.
This would mean the restora-
ton of $l.2 million, or 10 per cent
which had been cut from the pay
ment by the House.
The difference between thu
House and Senate will have to be
fought out in conference after the
Senate completes action on ths
omnibus Federal appropriation
bill.
While the payment goes to the
District government, the item is
included in the Federal supply bill
because it is a charge against the
United States.
Other Items in Separate Bill.
All other District government
items are included in the separate
District appropriation bill, now in
conference.
House and Senate conferees on
the Districts supply bill held an
inconclusive first meeting today
to compromise differences between
the two bodies. Another session
is scheduled for tomorrow morn
ing.
At today's meeting, the con-
ferees settled differences in 30
instances. but there are 43 others
to be ironed out.
Some Trading" Expected,
AS passed by the House, the
bill calls for an outlay of SIPS
million. The Senate raised this
to $119 million, an increase of
s6.2 million. A major portion of
the Senate increase was for So
million to start the construction
OF the East Capitol street bridge
and the addition of about So mil
lion to start expansion of the city
water system.
The House has been expected to
accept the bridge and water in
creases, since authorizing legisla-
tion for these two projects, now
law, had not been enacted at the
time the House passed the appro-
priation bill.
Some trading" over these two
Senate increases may be involved
in the settlement of other differ
ences between the two houses,
however. The head of the House
