WASHINGTON, May 1 U-Sen-

(Texas) told the senate Thursday
Eisenhower should nominate his

He told the senate that Hagerty
had done such a good job of

Indonesia set out to prove that the
Dutch were right and everybody
else, including the Indonesians and
a well-meaning U. S. A., was
wrong.
Today, nearly seven years later,
the Indonesians have succeeded so
well in mismanaging their affairs
that things may very well get bet-
ter for the simple reason that they
can't get much worse.
Progress Is Slew
Progress is necessarily slow in
a country where you have to drive
15 or 20 minutes to get across the
street, which is the case in Jakar-
ta, a city with an estimated 3
million people.
There are, however, certain vis-
ible improvements. At the Des In-

But even in Java the army is
playing a dominant role. Launch-
ing an anti-corruption drive, the
army has raided banks, opened
safety deposit boxes, confiscated
illegal arms, arrested prominent
politicians. It has also established
a limited censorship of foreign
news dispatches.
The army's action brought down
the wishy-washy coalition cabinet
of former prime minister Ali Sas-
troamidjojo. As is the custom in
Jakarta, the government did not
fall. It merely faded away.
By western logic, the army
should have taken ever the Na-
tional government. But this did not
happen, nor is it likely to happen.
The reason is that Indonesia has
no national army in the western
sense. What it has is seven mili-
tary districts each led by a com-
mander with problems peculiar to
his own locality. They don’t al-
ways agree among themselves.
Sukarno is commander in chief
of the army. But he does not nec
essarily command the loyalty of
the army outside Jakarta.

WASHINGTON (CDN)— Interna-
tional communism is dashing for
cover in one breath and sniping
resolutely in the other as the ad-
ministration opens a counter-at-
tack in defense of its budget.
Two top voices in the govern-
ment have come up with these es-
timates to save some bacon sliced
off by the house in the budget for
the United States information
agency and the state department.
A w e l Mounded suspicion pre-
vails that both may be shouting in
a cave of winds, and not because
of their inconsistent outlook on
world communism.
To Arthur Larson, USIA direc-
tor and chief theorist of modern
Republicanism, "communism is on
the run.”
The brutal Soviet crackdown in
Hungary put the communist world
in a spin, Larson says.
And the American stand on the
Suez invasion, he adds, severed
the “false association" built up be-
tween this country and colonial-
ism. It also gained new respect
and credibility for the V a i e a st
America, he asserts.
These events have brought
fresh opportunity to expose com-
munism and capitalize on this
country's newly revealed r o l e as
“guardians of principle." ’
But the house has laid a heavy
hand on USIA’s request for 1144
million, cutting it by 38 percent,
just when, in Larson’s view, the
time to "pour it on" is now.
Secretary of Stat- Dulles, on the
other hand, is far ess breathless
and sanguine about communism's
direction.
"In the face of a threat to peace
and freedom which all must admit
to be grave.' ‘Dulles says, this is
no time to be slicing $29 millions
from the state department request
for $227,714,000, which the house
did.

times as big as Java but inhabited

Overcrowded Java is the smallest

National Hero Not Defied
There was, however, an addi-
tional factor — the nature of the
Sumatrans. Although the Javanese
may argue the point, the Sumat-
rans are, generally speaking, a
physically and intellectually more
vigorous people.
The young colonels stopped short
of defying President Sukarno, a
spellbinding national hero. But
they wanted Mohammad Hatta,
himself a Sumatran, back In gov-
ernment
Hatta, a coldly objective man
who has played second fiddle to
Sukarno's crowd-raising emotion-
alism for years, resigned as vice
president last December in an
open break with the president.
Although their main objective
was local autonomy, or home rule,
the territorial commanders had
another point. Despite the fact that
the communists have infil-

It puts in jeopardy, Dulles
states, America’s “primary re-
sponsibility" of keeping the free
world together so that "its mem-
bers will not one by one be taken
over by international commu-
nism.”
Dulles was not altogether lugub-
rious before a senate appropria-
tions subcommittee. But there wss
none of the blithe Larson spirit in
his assertion that:
“The total effects of these cuts
would be to breach gravely the
front line of our defense of pesce
and freedom in the world."
In his plea that the cuts In "sal-
aries and expenses" be restored,
Dulles was loaded with such start-
ling intelligence as the fact that
118 years of uncompensated over-
time has been accumulated by the
bureau of far eastern affairs here
and abroad in the past two and a
half years.

donesia is by presidential procla-
mation under a "state of war and
siege," which Indonesians call in
terms of an old Dutch phrase,
"8. O. B."
Yet nobody has fired a shot in
anger, or, as one observer re-
marked, “even pulled back the
bolt on his rifle."
More accurately, it was essen-
tially a "states rights" movement.
The army, which works in close
co-operation with local civilian ad-
ministrators and is closely identi-
fied with local economic and politi-
cal grievances, was the chosen
instrument of the local populations.
