(Served anytime) at the HOTEL MEDFORD DINING ROOM t CHILDREN ALWAYS WELCOME Ail-Out Effort Set By Jakarta To Down Rebels Singapore (IP) Rumors circulating in Jakarta Satur day said Loyalist transports are loading troops and equip ment, presumably for the long-awaited amphibious at tack on rebel-held Central Sumatra. Neutral observers believe the Jakarta regime is prepar ing an all-out effort to wipe out the rebels before the Moslem holy month of Rama dan ends April 21. The Loyalist army an nounced Saturday it has "mopped up" rebels in the Donggala area of Celebes Is land, dominating the narrow neck that separates insurgent held North Celebes from the rest of the island. No New Fighting The communique made no mention of new fighting on Sumatra, saying only that Loyalist troops are advancing into the "neutral" province of Tapanuli, straddling the northern approaches to the Rebel capital at Bukittingi. Loyrlist forces have been halted for days at the north ern border of Tapanuli, seek ing permission to cross the province. The ..Jakarta regime reiter ated denials that it has made any arms deal with the Com munists, but informed sources said some 20 Soviet- built Mi? jet fighters are expectedJ to arrive m Jakarta next month. The United States has re fused so far to sell weapons either to the Loyalists or to the Rebels, but it is supplying the Jakarta regime with am phibians for air- sea search and rescue work.
