Always, in the good old days, the members peered through holes to inspeet the King's "Black Rod," a messenger who came to summon Parliament into session.

An alert member of today's Commons, with a good head for old habits, spotted the emission of peep-holes from the new doors, bullt to replace those destroyed In the 1941 bombing.

Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the ar- chitect, agreed that old traditions should be respected. Out came the door's glass panels and in their places went wooden ones, complete with holes through which Commons members may peer to their hearts content.

Jakarta, October 0. Amboinese, leaders from áll Java told a Press conference in Jakarta today that they thought the United Nations In- doncsian Commission's efforts for a peaceful settlement are not strong enough.

Claiming to speak on behalf of the South Moluccan people in Java, they said, "The military victory of the Indonesian troope will never crush the people's ideals: a separate South Moluccass State".
