there, warmed up for an encore.
No snakes were in sight as they

“We never predict ahead.” Par

The women, Mary Lee Scott and

The women and four men ar

The cult promptly kept most of
Jonesville awake with an all-night:

As combines rumbled north of

They placed the estimated har

Walter Foote in reply to the re
quest from Washington yesterday
for a specific response to the
American offer. The note said:
“Pending the decision at the Se
curity Council, the Republican
government wishes to renew its
pledge of confidence that within
the power of the United States gov
ernment lies the possibility of find
ing a final solution of the Indo
nesian-Dutch dispute.’’
The republic assured the United
States that no rejection or U. S.
good offices had been meant by
the original reply, which contained
a request that the offer be limited
to the use of U. S. influence for
dispatch of an International Arbi
tration Commission to Indonesia.
U. S. MAY DROP OFFER
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. —(A*)—
The United States may drop its
offer to serve as a go-between in
ending the small-scale war be
tween the Dutch and the Indo
nesians in view of the latter’s ap
parent failure to accept this coun
try’s “good offices’’ without quali
fication.
From Batavia came word that
the Indonesia republic had accept
ed the American offer to bring
the two factions together for a
private settlement, but had con
ditioned the action with an obvious
invitation to the United Nations
security council to take action
first. . ..
“Pending the decision of the
Security Council,” the Indonesian
reply said, “the Republican gov
ernment wishes to renew its pledge
of confidence that within the power
of the United States government
lies the possibility of finding a
final solution of the Indonesian
Dutch dispute.”
There was no official American
statement on the Indonesian re
sponse. Diplomats pointed out,
however that the United States
only a few hours earlier had given
Indonesia a last-chance off^r to
make an unqualified, yes-or-no an
swer on the offer to bring Indo
nesian and Dutch leaders together
for a peaceful settlement — outside
