...visitor. Planned by Director Robert B. Inverarity, 44, a wartime Navy artist and part-time anthropologist, the museum's building is clean and functional, all on one floor and with plenty of well-lighted exhibition space. There is a comfortable auditorium with a stage and movie screen, a wing of workshops with special looms for reweaving damaged fabrics, photo labs and a microfilm room, a complete research library and special workrooms for visiting scholars.

Solidly in were left-wing Nationalists and a few obscure parties of the left-wing bloc. Bull-necked Marxist Iwa Kusumasumantri, jailed in 1946 for his part in the Communist Tan Malaka rebellion, was named Minister of Defense. The new Justice Minister has attended Communist peace rallies; the new Foreign Secretary signed the Stockholm peace appeal. Pro-Communists held the Ministries of Finance and Education...
