SOEKARNO BROADCASTS ORDER TO CEASE FIRE
London, Aug. 4.-When the United Nations Security Council met this evening at Lake Success, the President, M. Faris Al Khoury (Syria), announced that he had received a cable from the Netherlands Government stating that a cease fire had been ordered in Indonesia as from 1700 hours GMT today. He also said that he had received a cable from the Indonesian Premier, Dr Amir Sjarifuddin, acknowledging receipt of the order to cease fire.

Mr William Hodgson (Australia) said that he wanted to emphasise that he considered most inade- quate the way the Council had communicated the order to the Indonesian Government. He accused the Netherlands authorities of delaying its trans- mission and preventing Indonesian officials from communicating with their Government.
Colonel Hodgeon proposed the sending of some responsible United Nations ofcials to Indonesia to keep the Security Council Informed, The President said that he would consult with the Secretariat on this point.
The Council then passed on to the Greek problem without giving any further discussion to the Indonesian
CAAC.
The Republican-controlled Surakarta Radio announced! earlier today the Republican Government's receipt of the message from the Security Council, and expressed the gratitude of the Premier, Dr Sjarifuddin, on behalf of the Republic, to the Security Coun- *ell for having urged both parties to the dispute to settle! the conflict speedily. *
