Draft Ordered
In IndOnesia

JAKARTA, Indonesia. May
10 tPD.-Indonesia's army chief,
Mai. Gen. Abdul Harris NaSu-
ton, ordered a general mobili-
cation of Indonesian males to-
day. His order said the situa-
ton in the nation is tense.
Gen. Nasution's order calling
men from Is to 40 into an
army reserve corps was issued
to prepare the country for civil
defense and to help military
and law enforcement agencies.
The order did not spell out
beyond that the reasons for
the mobilization, but informed
sources said Gen. NaSutiOn took
the step because of rebel war
fare in North Celebes.
Issued under a state-Of-war
decree already in existence,
Gen. NaSution's order makes
it compulsory for IndoneSians
within the age limits to answer
the call or be prosecuted as de-
SerterS.
The mobilization must be
approved by the cabinet and
then Parliament, but this is
considered only a formality.
In the background of Gen.
NasutionS order is a stepped
up air war by the rebels in
North Celebes and charges by
the Jakarta government of
foreign intervention on the side
of the rebels. Red China re-
