Monday, October 17, 1949
(By Te Associated Press*
The fires of war were reported
banked for a while in Greece to
day but across the world in Indo
nesia they threatened to flare up
again with new intensity.
The communist-directed Greek
rebel -army broadcast an an
nouncement that it was stopping
miitalry operations in the bloody
civil war, because it didn’t want to
destroy Greece.
The Greek general staff wasn’t
impressed. The rebels were stop
ping, it said, bcause they were al
ready licked.
The cease fire corresponded
with moves in the United Nations
to pour oil on the choppy waters
of Greek relations with her com
munist neighbors. A special U. N.
group has drawn up suggestions
for resolving the fight, based on
Greek charges that Albania, Bul
garia and Yugoslavia have aided
the Greek guerrillas.
The broadcast made it clear that
the case lire was linked to the
steps being taken at Lake Suc
cess. It said that Russia now is
negotiating a peaceful settlement
o fthc Greek question.
In Jogjakarta, Java, the Indo
nesia republic’s minister of de
fense expressed fear that open
warfare would break out again in
Java and Sumatra.
Said Suita Hamengku Bmvong:
“The rapidly deteriorating situa
tion in east Java is full of explo
sive possibilties.”
The Dutch replied with a charge
that the Indonesian republic was
putting through a “master plan”
to encircle the Dutch army and ac
cused the Sultan of violating the
cease fire order by making in
flamatory statements.
