More than 20 members of the Re
publican regular and irregular
forces were captured, the communi
que said, and orders dated August

showing that the attack had been
ordered by Indonesian authorities.
The Dutch communique followed
the broadcast of a Republican bul
letin from Jogjagarta accusing the
Netherlands forces of further truce
violations.
New Measures Held Necessary.
The action at Baungin was only
one of a series of truce violations
reported by the Dutch in both Java
and Sumatra, which Netherlands

them to take new military meas
ures.
The largest incident was reported
near Mangli, southwest of Amba
rawa in North Central Java, where
the Dutch said 350 Republicans had
attacked their lines. The Dutch
forces used rifles, machine guns and
hand grenades to repel the attack,
the communique said.
Sniping also was reported in
South Sumatra, where the Dutch
said the Republicans constructed
new roadblocks and destroyed
bridges near Lahat.
Dutch casualties resulting from
continued hostilities were listed a:
three killed and four wounded yes

Dutch Propose Formation
Of Federal Government
THE HAGUE, Aug. 13 <*V-Hie
Netherlands government today pro
posed the immediate formation of
an Indonesian federal interim gov
ernment for the East Indies, includ
ing those areas occupied by Dutch
military forces-in recent “police ac
tion.” ✓
The government’s statement pro
posed that the interim,government
be composed of representatives of
the Indonesian Republic, the state
of East Indonesia and West Borneo
and of those minorities "that are
not yet represented adequately."
The formation of such an interim
government would not delay a "last
ing solution” of the future of the
East Indies, the statement asserted
(The states of East Indonesia
—the islands east of Java and
south of Borneo—and West Java
were to be joined with the re
public of Indonesia—Java, Su
matra and Madoera—as “the
United States of Indonesia" un
der terms of the Linggadjatl
agreement signed by the Nether
lands and the republic last
March. Differences over details
of that agreement led to the
break in negotiations between
Dutch and Republican repre
sentatives and the subsequent
military action launched by
Dutch authorities several weeks
ago.)
The statement said' the Nether
lands government was willing b
decrease the number of its arme;
forces in Indonesia "as soon as i
proper police force will be able ti
maintain law and order."

engine room officers objected to eat
ing with a colored wireless operator,
the American freighter Robert R.

Cargo of coal, was held In port

qualified operator. When he reported

Engineer Beneficial Association

with the ship unless he were put

“checkerboarding” practices of its
co-affiliate deck and radio unions in
the CIO, union members said. The
McBumey's deck crew, members of
the APL International Seafarers
Union, were also reported as pro
testing the colored officer's presence.
