|Javiis io.Fight
For Sitter Law
On Civil Rights

Senator Javits, Republican
of New York. plans to>reopen
the fight for a stronger civil
rights law when Congress re-
turns next week.
But Capitol Hill observers
give him little or no chance Of
succeeding. In view of the ad-
ministration's decision not to
revive the subject In 1858.
Southern Democrats also can
be counted on to oppose re-
opening Of the subject ct the
coming session.
The new Attorney General,
William p, Rogers, said early
this month he does not intend
to recommend to the President
any new civil rights legislation
at this time.
The last session Of Congress
passed the first civil rights bill
since reconstruction days. II
empowers the Federal Govern
ment TO help protect voting
rights Of citizens. II also created
a commission to hear COM
plants and, at the end of two
years, recommend any fur
ther legislation that may be
needed.
Senator Javits said last night
he will offer a bill to revive
the controversial Article III,
which was eliminated from the
bill at. the last session.
This article would have gone
beyond voting rights ana en-
abled the Attorney General to
take the initiative in applying
for civil injunctions to protect
civil rights In general.
Under present law. individual
citizens may apply for such
injunctions. but Senator Javits
pointed out that in many cases
they are unable to pay for such
litigation.
Senator Javits said he re-
spects the determination Of
the administration not to seek
additional legislation on the
subject at the coming session.
but does not feel that relieves
members Of Congress Of the
responsibility to work TO close
what they regard as gaps In
the existing law.

A warning that the Com
munists plan to take over
strife-torn Indonesia has been
circulated around the world by
the United States Information
Agency.
Red clans to infiltrate In
donesian labor unions and po-
litical parties and to strengthen
Indonesia's ties with Commu-
mist China have been communi-
Gated TO all UsIA posts sround
the world. according TO o USIA
announcement.
The Agency has distributed a
three-part survey based cn a
little-known booklet by Indo-
nesia's No. / Communist. Dipa
Nusantara Aidit. The booklet
was published in India in De-
cember, 1855.
First Ofiicial Word
Today's announcement by
+USIA Is the first ofiicial wo. d
from any United States Gov
ernment agency that this
country is disturbed about pos
sibilities Of q Communist take
over in Tndonesia. Recent anti
Dutch moves have been spear
headed enthusiastically by Red
dominated groups there.
The USIA survey warns its
overseas posts that Indonesian
Communists speak with two
voices, one to win votes and the
other audible primarily within
their own ranks
The Aidit pamphlet. USIA
says. was intended expressly
for Communist eyes"
Objectives Listed
The USlA listed these objec-
tives Of the Indonesian Com
munist organization:
l. Active participation in a
united front" political coali-
ton headed by the Indonesian
Nationalist Party (PND to lend
legitimacy to the Communist

6. Placing the Indonesian

these front groups are the
three-million-member labor
federation and its affiliate, the
estate workers union.
Z. Expanding the Commu-
nist-dominated Sino- Indones-
ian and Soviet Indonesian
Friendship Societies.
OfEicial Red Status
The USIA cited a statement
last october 3 by a prominent
Indonesian Communist Party
member. Deputy Secretary
General M. H. Lukman, who
said that it was incorrect to
assume that there were only
national Communists in Indo-
nesia and not international
Communists.
The survey also cited paral-
lels between the present Indo-
nesian seizures Of Dutch prop
erty and seizures in Eastern
Europe in 1946-48.
The Communists demon
strated a familiar technique,
the USIA survey noted. when
earlier this month Red-domi-
mated trade unions, in the
course of a 24-hour strike, oc-
cupied Dutch factories. ship
ping company premises and
other private facilities
Charges by the Indian paper
'Blitz" that the United States
has been behind attacks on
IndoneSian President Sukarno
and backs Indonesian separat-
lists have been widely circulated
by Indonesian Communists.
Mistakes Exploited
On the other hand. the Com.
munists in Indonesia have
made three noteworthy mis-
takes which their enemies have
used extensively in the island
republic.
In 1913. for instance, there
was the incident at Madiun in
East Java. where Communists
staged an abortive demonstra-
ton against the new Indonesian
Republic and President Suka-
rno.
In 1855 they made their Sec
ond mistake-the publication
Of the Aidit paper which USIA
has now revived to distribute
throughout the world. especi-
ally in Indonesia. as a warn
ing against the Reds.
A third mistake was the
publication. repeatedly by Com
munist China. Of a map Of
Southeast Asia showing China
holding residual sovereignty
over several areas. including
parts of Indonesia and Burma.
While this appealed to over
seas Chinese, it infuriated
Indonesian and Burmese ma
tionalists.
Another vulnerability Of the
Communists in Indonesia is
their Soviet and Chinese as
sociates' disrespect for the
Moslem religion.
