Stranded BusIood of Children

A busload of 80 children
from Camp Springs. Md, was
stranded at Washington's 14th

The station also played host
to a couple with a 10-month-
old baby who had gone 20 the
home show at the National
Guard Armory and couldn't get
back to Suitland. Md.
The couple, Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Fleischer, were given
the only non-cellblock bed for
the baby.
The youngsters had been gall
looping around the busy station
house for hours when the ex-

Call the Red Cross. These
kids are hungry and I haven't
any money to feed them"

|CAAChief Gets Control
OF Nations Air Space
By CHARLES YARBROUGH
Star Stan Writer


Civil Aeronautics Admin
Iistrator James T. Pyle has been
named boss of the Nations air
space with unprecedented pow
er over civil and military
flights.
Final appeal from his deci-
sions will be the White House.
The Civil Aeronautics Board,
aviation policy-making and
regulatory agency. announced
1t is amending its civil air regu-
lations to plug loopholes which
have permitted military nom
compliance. The revision vests
full authority in the CAA ad-
ministrator.
National Defense First
The board, which reserves
the right to review any action
taken by Mr.. Pyle. directed
that he give full consideration
to the requirements of national
defense and must afford all
interested parties full opportu-
nifty to participate in the rule
making process.
A board spokesman said the
ruling was made to provide
greater air safety and estab-
lish machinery to effect better
utilization Of the airspace by
its major users.
AS revised. the rule permits
military aircraft to deviate
from air traffic rules only when
Noncompliance els required by
military emergency or current
military necessity essential to
the defense" of the country.
Convictions Clarified
Any other departure from
the air regulations will require
prior notice to the CAA.
Previous traffic rules have
not specified conditions under
which military planes could
deviate
The boards action culmi-
mates a long and bitter fight
between civil and military avi-
alton over airspace use with

Western quarters feared q

4. Opening of negotiations on

Rebels Set Up
Rival Regime
In Indonesia
Attempting to Force
Sukurno to Give Up
Communist Ties

PADANG, 1ndoneSia, Sun
day, Feb. 16 R.-A revolu-
tionary government for Indo-
nesia was proclaimed last night
with the aim Of ousting Premier
Djuanda and forcing President
Sukarno to give UP his guided
democracy" program.
1t was the guided democracy
program that brought COM
munists into the central gov
eminent. Rebel leaders said
they will continue to consider
Mr.. Sukarno as president. but
only under certain conditions.
DR.. Sjafruddin Prawirane-
CARA, former finance minister
and until recently governor of
the Bank of Indonesia, was
named premier and finance
minister.
New Premier Cheered
The rebel-designated premier
appeared before a wildly cheer
ing crowd of 10000 in this
small Indian Ocean port and
declared:
ITO leave this disease creep
ing undisturbed for fear of
surgery by q doctor or because
Of apathy viii mean we have
no right to live as free people"
He apparently was referring
to corruption. which the rebel
leaders assert is rife in the
central government, as well as
Communism.
One leader said the uprising
is unique because it is the only
open rebellion against cor
ruption and Communism in
Asia"
Followed Ultimatum
The proclamation came five
days after the revolutionary
leaders centered in Sumatra
delivered their ultimatum, with
q f1ve-day deadline, demanding
Jakarta regime changes.
Rebel leaders here pictured
the proclamation as the first
step to pressure Mr.. Sukarno
and the Jakarta government
into sweeping measures to
fight communism and corrup-
ton in Java. BY asking for
such changes the proclamation
left the door open for a
negotiated settlement with the
rebels.
They said they have extern
sive support in West Java as
well as in North Celebes and
possibly in West Borneo. Su-
matra has IL million of In
donesia,s SO million people
scattered oven hundreds Of
islands.
Djuanda Pays No Heed
There was no immediate in
dication that Premier Djuanda
paid any heed to the rebel
move
But CAMS Harsono. a Foreign
Office spokesman in Jakarta.
later called the action SILLY
and bound to fail"
He said: The whole thing
is wishful thinking. We are
convinced Sjafruddin and his
group do not enjoy the support
of all the people they claim"
Mr.. Sukarno was flying back
from Japan after a five-week
tour of Asia. 1t was announced
Friday he would address a mass
rally in front of the presiden-
tial palace in Jakarta at noon
today. His aides with him in
Japan have discussed. the rebel
demands as only a local move
ment. Mr.. Sukarno's only COM
ment as he left Tokyo Saturday
was that "Indonesia has its
ups and downs"
The rebel leaders said their
next step will be to cut of
Sumatra's all, which furnishes
the lions share Of Jakartas
petroleum needs and provides
heavy royalties for the central
government.
