Th Statesman, Salam, Orxjoiu Monday. August 18, 1352 Soekarno Tells Indonesia of Trouble Ahead t By JACK MACBETH ' JAKARTA. Indonesia (-President Soekarno sternly warned .Indonesia's 78 million people celebrating the seventh anniver sary of their declaration of inde pendence that their young repub lic faces hard times and tough problems in the years ahead. Kis was the only sombre note in ithe otherwise gay festivities Sun iday that ringed througout the thousands of islands that sprawl across the republic's more than 700,000 square mile domain in the ; Southwest Pacific." Seven years ago, amid wild re joicing. Soekarno boldly hoisted a red and white flag to proclaim i Indonesia's independence after j three centuries of Dutch rule. But four more years of bitter and bloody fighting were to follow -before Indonesia became in reality a free, self - governing nation ' joined loosely to the Dutch union. Many Flags The same red and white flags fluttered from buildings, cars and outrigger canoes Sunday across the . thousands of lush, tropical islands from part of Borneo in the north, ' across the storied Spice Islands of the Celebes, in Java and romantic Bali to within sight of the Vogel- kop (chicken head) Cape of West New Guinea, wlich the nation's leaders hope someday also will be part of the republic. The question of West New Guin- : ea, or Weest Irian, has been the subject of deadlocked discussions " between Indonesia and The Neth erlands for two years. Talks to Resume The treaty granting the republic her independence, signed at The Hague in December, 1949, provid- ed for talks to start the following 1 year concerning Indonesia's de mand that West Irian belongs to her. Talks are to be resumed soon. The Dutch still are there, and Soekarno told cheering, flag-waving listeners this fact was a "thorn 1b the flesh of the Indonesia peo ple." - . "Feel it smarting as it cuts into your flesh, the trim, uniformed president cried. "It is our joint obligation to struggle for the .end of the end of Dutch occupation, for West Irian Is an area occupied by the Dutch. . . So long as West Irian repre sents a power concentration of the colonial remnants of the former Dutch East Indies, that long will the Indonesian people feel them selves threatened from that direction- LEGION IN GOTHAM NEW YORK fP)-The American Legion's headquarters staff came to town Sunday, the vanguard of thousands of Legionnaires ex pected here for the organization's ' 84th annual convention starting next Sunday."

TO OFFER BOTH REGULAR & KING-SIZE BOTH regular and king-size Chesterfields are premium quality cigarettes and come in the smart white pack. BOTH contain only those proven ingredients that make Chesterfield the best possible smoke: the world's best tobaccos, pure, more costly moistening agents (to keep them tasty and fresh), the best cigarette paper that money can buy nothing else. BOTH are much milder with an extraordinarily good taste and, from the report of a well;known research or ganization - no unpleasant after-taste. BOTH are exactly the same in all respects; There is absolutely no difference except that king-size Chesterfield is larger contains considerably more of the same tobaccos enough more to give you a 21 longer smoke, yet costs little more J.
