EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Sunday, Jan. 21, 1862 Pag SA - Sukarno's Threats Backed by Military Superiority Bend Suggested j For Moon Tests WASHINGTON Gfl An offi cial of North American Aviation Co., says the Bend, Ore., area would make an Ideal site for tests on Earth of astronauts and equipment slated to make a flight to the Moon. The area is rich in volcanic materials and offers terrain similar to that Green believes will be found on the Moon. He said he thinks much of the Moon's surface is of volcanic origin. The Galapagos Island would offer the same conditions, Green said. He said the Bend area could be used to check out equipment for a manned lunar expedition and the Galapagos Islands could be a final test area for expedition members. Festival of Arts to Begin Wednesday at University By PETER ARNETT Of tha Assoc Ultd Prctt JAKARTA ( President Su karno's bellicose stand over Dutch-occupied West New Guin eo is backed by an overwhelm ing military superiority. Sukarno's military advisers teem reluctant about war now but not because they fear defeat in the swampy, mosquito-infested territory of New Guinea, foreign diplomats believe. The military would rather wait until later in the year when, they feel, they could have a victory as clean as that of the Indian armed forces in Goa. But if Sukarno gave the orders now, there is no suggestion that the military would waver. Latest reports from Indone sian military sources and diplo mats give this line-up of present military strength: ARMY: Sukarno has 130 bat talions of regular troops, one half operational, one half terri torial. There are 800 to 1,100 men to an Indonesian battalion. Thirty of the 65 operational battalions have been fully trained in amphibious landings. Sukarno also has scores of thou sands of volunteers who went into training camps last week end. NAVY: The Indonesian fleet has 4 destroyers, 10 Soviet mo tor torpedo boats, 8 West Ger man motor torpedo boats, 8 American landing ship trans ports and 6 submarines. Four of the subs, long-range "W" class vessels of 1,030 tons displacement carrying 14 tor- pedos each, arrived from the Soviet Union last Monday, the very day of the Dutch-Indonesian naval engagement off the coast of West New Guinea. Two subs of the same type were delivered by the Soviets in August 1859. Indonesian naval personnel are in training in Sevastopol to man a cruiser. Yugoslavia has announced it has started supply ing Indonesia with naval craft. Delivery of 10 more Soviet tor pedo boats is expected to take place soon. AIR FORCE: The Soviet Un ion has delivered 10 long-range TU16 jet bombers and is re portedly in the process of de livering 25 more. Indonesia has 20 Ilyushin-28 light jet bomb ers. The fighter squadrons are made up of 40-60 Soviet-built MIG 17s and 19s. The Air Force also has 8 U.S. C130s, each cap able of carrying 80 90 troops. Arrayed against this striking force in Dutch-occupied West New Guinea, say diplomatic sources, are 12 Hawker Hunter jet fighters, 16 Neptune bomb ers, 12 Firefly navy fighters, one destroyer with other small er naval craft, and armed forces numbering about 5.000-7,000. The Dutch have one big fac tor on their side the swampy, under-populated terrain of West New Guinea virutally defends itself. It lies nearly 1.000 miles from the South Celebes which Sukarno has designated as head quarters of any attack on West New Guinea. Sukarno's present military su periority rests on the apparent reluctance of The Netherlands to reinforce its military position in New Guinea. However, Dutch officials have been quot ed as stating that if necessary the aircraft carrier Karel Dor mann, now on a flag showing tour of the West Indies, could be sent to West New Guinea waters. The imponderable In the event of an outbreak of war over the territory is the reac tion of Holland's friends, Au stralia in particular.
