CRUCIAL WEEK FOR INDONESIA.

Washington, June 19.-United States

officials believe that this week will be crucial for Indonesia. If the Dutch and Indonesian leaders can agree on the timing of the ceasefire order the Indonesian government can be restored at Jogjakarta.

Some reports indicated that the Republicans want to return to the capital before ceasefire is ordered while the Dutch wish the ceasefire to precede or at least coincide with the restoration of the capital. Whatever compromise is reached, it is important that the Republican Army and its guerilla, bands oboy it.

He was forced to halt his newest attempt to defy the government sponsored measures and he pleaded with his congregation to "remain calm there are children here." Hundreds of small boys and girls dressed în flower decorated Sunday best for the Corpus Christl holiday wern in the lofty vaulted auditorium, whose spires dominate Prague from the Castle 'Hill.
