Indonesian Leaders Pro-Jap Quislings Says Senator

CASEY APOLOGISES

Canberra, Feb. 16.

A 69-year-old Australian Senator attacked Indonesian leaders as "pro- Japanese Quislings" today, and External Affairs Minister R. G. Casey promptly apologised to the President of Indonesia.

Sen. George Rankin, Member of the Country Party from Victoria and a Major-General in World War I, touched off the dispute when he accused Indonesia of attempting to “thieve” West New Guinea.

He demanded from Mr Casey statement that would make clear the Australian gov crament's attitude on West New Guinen (Irian). The island ger- ritory, held by the Dutch, is claimed by Indonesia.
