The man of the hour was 37-year-old Sultan -Hemangku Buwono, deputy premier of the new United States of Indonesia, who accepted the turnover of au thority from Netherlands High Commissioner A. H. J.-Lovink. Outside the palace and through out the capital, 6,000 republican troops under tne sultan s com mand and armed with machine- guns, kept law and order and watched for possible attempts by Comfunlsts and a few diehards to heckle the ceremony.

Politically, It has this importance: Burke has fre quently been mentioned as a pos sible opponent on the Democratic ticket to Senator Robert A. Taft (R.-Ohio) In Taft's attempt for re-election next year. Burke has said he is considering whether to run. A clean cut de cision over the strikers might have an important bearing on his chances against Taft When the strike started early Thursday morning, Cleveland, with an estimated 1,300,000 peo ple, went through its worst traf fic tleup in history.
