Indonesian Completes Tour of America; Will Tell People US Eager for Peace New York fU.K A lawyer politician from Indonesia has completed a seven-week tour of the United States and is going home to tell his people that Americans are eager to keep . world peace. . Dr. Mohamad Roem, former foreign minister of Indonesia, visited Americans in their homes, churches, schools and meeting halls. He had a unique opportunity to take the pulse of , U.S. opinion. "The people I met are always ready for war if it is imposed upon them," he said in an inter view here. ''But they don't want war." Roem will carry this view back to his populous nation which recently became indepen dent after years of Dutch colo nialism. Indonesia is regarded as a juicy target for Communist expansion in Southeast Asia. Its resort city of Bandung was the site of the recent Afro-Asian Conference. Look For Peae. . ''Everybody . is looking for a solution that is peaceful," the Indonesian leader said. "In my opinion,; the majority of Ameri cans do not think war is inevi table. They think international problems can be solved. "It's my impression that the American people have not yet rracfe up their minds about the Formosa question." - Roem took part in panel dis cussions on Asiatic affairs in 16 U.S. cities. "Sometimes I was surprised at how much the audiences knew about Asia 3nd sometimes at how little they knew," he said. "They were always attentive, but I found the public generally poor ly informed on Asian problems." He got the impression Ameri cans are trying to learn about Asia, however, and he said "I Merger Vetoed for Cement Corporations Washington OI.R) The Justice Department has vetoed the proposed merger of two of the nation's largest cement cor . porations on grounds it would "tend to create a monopoly." The proposed consolidation in volved the Ideal Cement Co. of Denver, fourth largest in the nation, and Superior Portland of Seattle, which has the largest facilities in the northwestern market. Word of the government ac tion was disclosed last night by a stockholder of Superior Port- "land, who asked that his name be withheld. He said plans for the merger have been dropped as a result of the federal stand.

Roem believes Americans make too much of the presence French Actor Leaves Grace Kelly Behind Cannes, France (U.R) French movie actor Jean Pierre Aumont sadly departed today for Paris, leaving behind actress Grace Kelly whom he described as "an adorable and sensational woman any man would be proud and pleased to. marry." "What I am saying is on my own responsibility," Aumont said. "She is a wonderful wo man . . . I. adore her . . . But whether the feeling? are recipro cal is up to her to say."

"When people asked me about Communism, I would reply, Why don't you ask what I am doing in Indonesia rather than what people I don't like are do ing?' " Roem predicted the Commu nist Party would make no gains in the Indonesia elections next Sept. 29. ' He was critical of Americans who refer, to such countries as Indonesia and India as "neutral ist." "In our hearts we are not neu tral," he said. "We consider that we have formed a democratic al liance. You are used to think ing in terms of military alliances. But we are closer to you than to countries which are not demo cratic and it would be a pity if you did not pay enough atten tion to us."
