Clergy Told Not to Flee
East German Red 7 error

of the church in both East and
West Germany. was reported
seriously concerned over the
danger Of 4 big-scale exodus.
The bishop feels the church is
battling for survival and his
men must remain on the firing
line.
Most Of the clergymen who
turn refugee do so rather than
face the consequences Of their
refusal to compromise with the
Reds.
East Germany's Stalinist re-
gime has started a nation wide
campaign of attacks on clergy
men personally rather than risk
a direct assault on the influen-
tial church. Several clergy
men have been charged with
anu-state activity and public
confessions have been drawn
from them. presumably by tor
ture Of one kind or another.
The church has opened q dis
ciplinary investigation of two
pastors who fed to West Ber-
lin last week. They said they
feared they would be arrested
and compelled to confess to
working against the Red re-
gime. thus bringing harm to the
church.

The president Of Michigan

record Of positive action on

One Of his first acts when

He recalled that up to that

Cleared Records
Soon afterward. he directed

eight deals.
The deals consisted Of the

Chief Scott said that at the

for $is. A licensed pawnbroker
is allowed to charge so cents
for such atransaction.
At the Fourteenth street

dercover man hooked" a mans
watch for IS. He got it back
for the price Of $6.25 set at
the time he made the deal. A
licensed pawnbroker would
have gotten so cents for that

The Star investigation had
disclosed that most Of the Sec
ond-hand dealers visited by

at profits which would be
usurious on a loan-to their

Details Of New Law
The new law allows pawn

Chief Scott said police had long
felt some secondhand dealers
were violating the law but they
had not sent undercovermen in

UNITED NATIONS. N. r..
Dec. ~ (H.--The Netherlands
has accused Indonesia Of fiout-
ing United Nations authority
by her boycott and seizure Of
DHtch property and insists she
be held "answerable TO the
fullest extent
In q letter yesterday to. the
Security Council and General
Assembly. the Dutch accused
Indonesia Of an illegal act
aimed at gaining political ad-
vantage.
The letter did not request
formal action. but 1t paved the
way for possible U. N. measures
by charging that Indonesia had
violated "the principles
laid down In the charter OF
the United Nations"
The protest came as thou
sands Of Dutch nationals left
Indonesia as a result or the
Jakarta governments cam
paign TO force the Netherlands
to give up West New Guinea.
An Indonesian request for u. N.
backing Of It's claim TO West
New Guinea failed In the last
assembly.
Illegal Act Charged
Since the boycott and the
seizure Of Netherlands enter
prises are not used TO uphold
international law but to gain
political advantage" the letter
said. they constitute an illegal
Intervention on the part Of the
Indonesian government"
"The Indonesian government
has deliberately and systemat-
ically provoked the rising ami
mostly Of the population against
4 q foreign minority in their
country" Chief Dutch Dele
gate c. w. A. Schurmann wrote.
Therefore. the government
Of the Republic Of Indonesia is
responsible and answerable to
the fullest extent for the pres
ent shameful situation and all
its consequences. which consti-
tute hostile action directed
against a foreign community
lawfully residing in Indonesia. :"
In Jakarta, meanwhile, the
larrW's intelligence chief, 1t.
Col. Sukendro accused former
Deputy Chief of Staff Col. Zul-
kin Lubis Of masterminding the
recent unsuccessful attempt on
President Sukarno's lie. Col.
Lubis has been technically in
hiding since he was accused OF
trying to overthrow Mr.. Su-
karno in November. 1856. Ac-
tually he has been around
Jakarta recently but now is re-
ported In Sumatra, where the

virtually no control.
