Indonesia (U.R) A Russian circus which has been making a goodwill tour of Indo nesia was banned today from Jogjakarta in the interests of "law and order." The ban, imposed by Lt. Col. Seloali, commander of the 13th Regiment, brought an immediate protest from the sponsoring Indo nesian committee which said it would hurt friendly relations be tween the two countries. The colonel said the circus was forbidden in the revolutionary capital "not on political grounds but exclusively. to maintain peace and order." The circus arrived in Febru ary. Since then it has been em broiled in a student riot, con demned by Moslems because the "Plastic Lady," its contortionist, was not sufficiently clothed, and was stranded in Palembang dur ing an abortive military counter revolution. dahc SAT. nIGKT - WITH THE - 'Rhythm Busters' ADM.
