WEST NEW GUINEA CLAIM Show-Girl Tried Hong Kong

The Netherlands Will Refuse Any

Further Discussions

United Nations, Nov. 23.

The Dutch Foreign Minister, J. M.A. H. Luns, declared tonight that the Netherlands would never again discuss In- donesia's claim to sovereignty over West New Guinea after the present General Assembly session.

He also stated that his Government “cannot and will not" abide by any U.N. resolution calling for a resumption of Indonesian-Dutch talks on the sovereignty issue.

He spoke at a news conference shortly after the Assembly's Main Political Committee took up Indonesia's claim to the vast jungle island territory in the Southwest Pacific.
