KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia
(UPI) The Federation of Ma
laysia, a new and anti-Communist
member of the British Common
wealth, came into being today,
touching off anti-British riots in
neighboring Indonesia.
Malaya, Singapore, North Bor
neo, and Sarawak joined in the
federation, which has a popu
lation of 10 million and some of
the world's richest natural re
sources.
But two of Malaysia's neigh
bors, Indonesia and the Philip
pines, refused to extend recogni
tion. Malayan Prime Minister Ten
gku Abdul Rahman, now the pre
mier of Malaysia, warned Sunday
night that Indonesia should
"think twice before taking my
drastic action" against the fed
eration. Embassy Stoned
(Thousands of rioters stoned the
British Embassy in Jakarta today
and burned the British flag and
the ambassador's limousine.
(President Sukarno summoned
his cabinet to an emergency
meeting to discuss Malaysia. In
donesia controls two - thirds of
Borneo and has attacked the fed
eration as an extension of Brit
ish imperialism.
The United States and repre
sentatives of 31 other countries
ignored the hostile position of the
Philippines and Indonesia and ei
ther welcomed or indicated ac
ceptance of Malaysia by attend
ing the inaugural ceremonies.
U.S. Deputy Undersecretary of
State U. Alexis Johnson, who was
President Kennedy's representa
tive, said in a special message:
"The United States warmly wel
comes the formation of this na-
Holt and 'anticipates close and
cordial relations with Malaysia.
Johnson said that Malaysia
"holds great promise for its peo
ple and Southeast Asia as a
whole."
New Pattern?
"Malaysia may well help to
form a new pattern of relation
ship in the area linking together
as it does hitherto separate states
and people in the great interest
of freedom and progress for man
kind," the U.S. representative
said.
"The people of the United
States have every hope and
expectation that Malaysia will
prosper and realize its great po
tential." North Borneo's first minister,
Donald Stephens, said in cere
monies at his capital of Jesselton
that Malaysia has reason to fear
the aggressive intentions of Indo
nesia. "Let Jakarta understand dear
ly and finally that our destiny ir.
self-chosen," he said. Sukarno
has objected to a U.N. survey
that found the Borneo territories
favored federation.
The Philippines, which also has
some claims to Borneo, said it
would make a final decision on
recognition after talks among its
leaders.
Ben Bella moves
to tighten rein
ALGIERS, Algeria (UPI) -Ahmed
Ben Bella, elected first
president of independent Algeria
without opposition, said today his
government will seize land owned
by French settlers and big Al
gerian landowners.
In a nationwide telecast, Ben
Bella, 47, also announced he plans
a cabinet shakeup soon, with key
posts going to militants among his
supporters "chosen by the best
elements of the Algerian revolu
tion." He said nationalization of large
land holdings will be the first
step toward sweeping agrarian
reform.
Although details have not been
announced, government sources
said the agrarian reform measure
probably will set a limit of about
125 acres for private ownership
of oe real-growing lands and 12
acres for private market gardens.
The government also wants to
reduce the area presently used
for wine-growing and turn part of
it over to cereal production.
Political sources said the new
cabinet will probably be an
nounced in two or three days and
include little-known "technicians"
or personal friends of Ben Bella
distinguished by their fierce loyal
ty to him.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (UPI) -
Negro students entered three in

of a church bombing and street
violence that cost six lives.
A force of 1,400 policemen,
state troopers and battle-equipped
National Guardsmen was ready
for action in the tense atmos

Bombing brings
strong words
from senators
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
bombing of a Negro church in
Birmingham was denounced in
the U.S. Senate today by Demo
crats and Republicans who called
for swift punishment of those re
sponsible for the crime. -,
One Republican, sen. jacoD k.
Javits. N.Y., demanded a speed
up in Senate action on civil rights
legislation as a result of the Sun
day violence, which took the lives
of four Negro girls.
Senators denounced the bomb
ing as a national crime, dis
graceful" "outrageous" and "ut
terly reprehensible.
Javits touched off the angry
round of reaction when he arose
in Die Senate to denounce the at
tack. He said that Alabama Gov.
George C. Wallace "cannot es
cape some responsibility for it."
Senate Democratic Leader MiKe
Mansfield. Mont., Republican
Whip Thomas H. Kuchel, Calif.,
and Sen. J. William rulDngnt,
D-Ark., followed Javits in attack
ing the bombing.
Mansfield said the Dommng was
"reDrehcnsible. . .there can be no
excuse for an occurrence of this
kind under any possible circum
stances." The Senate Democratic leader
said, however, that "this outrage
ous action does not represent the
feeling of a great majority of the
citizens of Birmingham or of Ala
bama or of the United States as
a whole."
"This is something that no one
can condone," Mansfield told the
Senate, and it "has set back the
difficult course on the road of
race relations."
Fulbright endorsed Mansfield's
statements and termed the bomb
ing an "outrageous, disgraceful
occurrence."
