Throughout Western Java in the Netherlandic Indies concerted Communist revolts broke out last week, seemingly indicating that the Indonesian Communist Party is much stronger than Netherlanders had thought. In Batavia, a mob made wild a sultry night with shootings and torch-flamings. In lesser towns, murders of district-chiefs were reported...
