JAKARTA, Indonesia, Oct. A.
A high-ranking Indonesian army
officer privately admitted today
that heavy fighting is in progress
on the rebel island of Amboina.
Officially, however, defense min
istry spokesmen maintained ST.
lence on reports of Indonesian
army operations on the island
1000 miles east of Java. They
refused to answer questions by
correspondents on what seemed
to be final action against the
South Moluccan rebels who have
been defying the Jakarta govern
ment since May.
From information available
here 1t seemed that an Indo-
nesian landing force was en-
countering determined opposition
from 1000 crack Amboinese

a speedier attainment of the enduring peace among men

Howard u. Gives
Lively Fantasy

A slightly adapted version o1
Ernst Toller's mo More Peace
is providing the Howard Uni
versity Players a lively opportu-
nifty this week to show an admir-
able resourcefulness.
The play, a fantasy with music
and an after-the-fact look about
1t, is one of the groups more
wryly amusing exhibits, in spite
OF the stage limitations of Spauld
ing Hall where it is being pre-
sented. Credit for this belongs
primarily to DR.. Anne Cooke who
directed the production, but part
of it surely must go to a cast
which includes a number of tai
ented performers. Also deserving
of bow is Owen Dodson who
has provided single setting
which serves such alternate pur-
poses as representing Heaven and
earth.
Toller's play, which has been
library item so far as Washing
ton is concerned, is freely rang
ing work for which w. H. Auden
provided lyrics and Herbert Muir
rill, the music.
Its theme is human natures
prediction for war as seen by
such long dead citizens of Heaven
as Napoleon, st. Francis, Socra-
tes, and beautiful casual angel
who sits at a celestial switch
board directing inter-spatial COM
munications. 1t is through her
that Napoleon, bitter practical
joker, interrupts an early peace
celebration to prove that humans
really would rather fight than
live in amity.
Neither Spaulding Halls facil-
tiles nor Toller's imaginative writ
ing make it easy for the university
performers to get the full dra-
matte value of mo More Peace -
The intelligence and verve with
WHICH tney play II, however, are
rewarding of deal of comedy be-
yond reasonable expectations for
such difficult work.
George johnson as the merry
free-thinking Noah is the out
standing performer in mo More
Peace" Others who donate gen.
erously to the merriment of it
are Carol Foster as the jolly an
gelic telephone operator; Edward
Hall as the harrassed st. Francis;
Edwin Ellick as the most militant
OF the humans; Earl johnson as
the baff1ed Socrates; and John
Bandy as the earthly tycoon who
knows how to turn either war or
peace into prodigious profit.
