Draft Order Comes
After New Clashes
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (P)
-Malaysia moved toward a war
footing yesterday in its quarrel
with neighboring Indonesia as the
government ordered a conscription
that could put 100,000 men under
arms. .
The decision to start the draft
coincided with reports of fresh
clashes in Malaysian Borneo. Two
Indonesian guerrillas and a Ma-
'laysian trooper were killed and
two Indonesians were captured.
The incidents were part of a
series of skirmishes that have vir-
tually .spelled the end of the Jan.
26 cease-fire.
Malaysian Prime Minister Tun-
ku Abdul Rahman presently has
an army of 15,000; .,Indonesian
President Sukarno has about 350,-
000 Men under arms.
Deputy Prime Minister and De-
fense Minister Tun Abdul Razak
announced the conscription order
after a 90-minute cabinet meeting.
Razak said that a special com-
mittee has been appointed to put
the order into immediate effect
throughout Malaysia, including
Singapore and the Borneq states
of Sarawak and Sabah.
The call-up was expected to'
start within a few days in Ma-
laya, the core of Malaysia, where
eligible males already have been
registered for possible military du-
ty. Registration in Singapore, Sa-
bah and Sarawak is expected to
take two weeks.
Whilethe conflict with Indo-
nesia threatened to expand, there
were signs Malaysia was moving
toward a rapproachement with the
Philippines.
iForeign ministry officials con-
firmed that a note has beencre-
ceived from Manila agreeing to
establish consular relations.
The Philippines, like Indonesia,
'opposed Malaysia on its formation
last September because of a Ma-
nila government claim to North
Borneo, now Malaysia's Sabah
state. But the Filipinos have not
shared Indonesia's view that Ma-
laysia is a "neo-,colonialist" threat
which must be crushed.

NICOSIA, Cyprus-The Turkish
Cypriot vice-president of Cyprus
urged the United Nations yester-
day to take swift action to save
the Turkish minority "from com-
plete annihilation" on Cyprus.
The appeal of Fazil Kuchuk
came as the Greek.Cypriot govern-
ment announced its forces had
overwhelmed Turkish Cypriots in
a day-long battle in the village of
Mallia, in southwest Cyprus.
Other clashes broke out like
brush fires across Cyprus, set off
by sparks from1 the three-day
battle in the West coast town of
Ktima, near Mallia.
There was sporadic shooting in
Ktima, where Greek and Turkish
Cypriot officials met in ;negotia-
tions designed to firm up the
shaky cease-fire that ended the
fighting Monday.
Meanwhiledunits of a Turkish
naval task force steamed out of
Iskenderun, Turkey.
The number and destination of
the warships, assembled here since
fighting broke out between Turk-
ish and Greek Cypriots last De-
cember, was not disclosed.

Automation 'Obsoletes' Ma
(Third in a five-part series on
(automation)
By JULES LOH
Associated Press Newsfeatures Writer
NEW YORK -- The critical dis-
tinction between today's automa-
tion and every other technological
advancei'n history is not just the
development of "thinking' ma-
chines, such as computers, but the
blend of thinking machines with
doing machines..
A machine called the Trans-
feRobot for example, can be pro-
grammed to do any number of
mechanical jobs with its swinging
arm and hand, and do them the
same way each time to within
two-thousandths of an inch, far
superior to any human. Moreover,
the arm is tireless, takes no coffee
breaks, doesn't require a pension
or a paid vacation. In one auto
firm the machine starts with raw
sheet metal and ends with finished
fenders. It used to take 20 men to
do the Job.
Rapid Growth
Installation of this type of auto-
mation in factories is growing at
the rate of 90 per cent a year, ac-
cording to the commerce depart-
ment, though only about 3800 such
machines are in operation now. As
for computers, there are more on
order today than were manufac-
tured in the decade of the fifties.
John I. Snyder Jr , president of,
the company that makes the
TransfeRobot, says this and s.ni+
lar tools "are obsoleting riot only
our conventional machires, but
modern men as well. The indus-
trial revolution created jobs: now
we're using sophisticated machines
to destroy jobs.'."
Snyder contends the old pre-
cept ,that machin-s make jobs (be-
cause it takes people to make and
repair the machin.es) 'is a myth
where avtomatio-i is ccncerned.
No Jos
"The hard fact we must face is
produce' jobs for those workees
they displace," Sn.cer says. More-
over, ' automation is not cnly dis-
placing people directly, but. also
indirectly trrough vbat we call
silfnt firings-worAers who would
eventually have beer, hired for
tasks that are now automated."
For example, if it weren't for
automation America's phone com-
panies would need the services of
nearly all the working women in
the country to handle their in-
creased load.
By Snyder's reckoning "automa-
tion has become a major factor
causing the loss of jobs at the rate.
of 40,000 a week." He arrives at
the estimate by multiplying the
nation's over-all employment fig-
ure by the rate of increase of out-
put per manhour in any given
year.For 1962,the latest for which
solid figures are available, it works
out to 51,000 jobs a week which
Snyder reduces to 40,000 to allow
a margin of-error.
Doubling Figure
A F L - C I O President George
Meany expects the figure to double
by the end of this year. "I'm in-
clined to agree that the rate of
loss will accelerate," Snyder warns,
"unless something is done to stop
it."
Snyder is co-chairman and co-
founder with Machinists Union'

GOOD WILL-Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara shakes hands with villagers in Hoa Hao,
South Viet Nam. He is visiting that country to discuss the military situation with Premier Nguyen

country with McNamara wer' Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, John
A. McCune, director of thy Central Intelligence Agency and Assistant Defense Secretary Arthur

CARACAS W)-A labor lawyer
who has warned he will be as
tough as. the outgoing Romulo
Betancourt on Castro-Commun-
ists, Raul Leoni is being inaugu-
rated today as president of Vene-
zuela.
"I shall never vacillate in com-
bating violence with whatever en-
ergy is necessary," Leoni declared
when he won the Dec. 1 election.
The inauguration will mark the
first time a democratically elected
president has finished 'a term' in
Venezuela and turned over/the of-
fice to another so elected.
Sabotage
The national guard and special
police guarded Caracas govern-
ment buildings and highways to
block any attempt at sabotage by
the pro-Communist terrorists who
call themselves the Armed Forces
of National Liberation.'
Leoni, 59, belongs to the Demo-
cratic Action Party of the retiring
president, who is 56, and the two
men are close friends, so few
changes are expected.
TheDemocratic Action Party,
originally was pro-Marxist, but
long since has made peace with
capitalists of this oil-rich nation
and turned anti-Communist.

Leoni says he will push the
charge of aggression by Cuba that
Betancourt filed in the Organiza-
tion of American States. Venezuela
accuses Prime Minister Fidel Cas-
tro of sponsoring five years of
violence here in an effort to es-
tablish a Communist beachhead
on the South American continent.
Leoni said he would be willing
to lift Betancourt's legal ban on
the Venezuelan Communist Party
and its Castroite sister, the Move-
ment of the Revolutionary Left,
if they renounced violence and
proved it by keeping the peace for'
"a prudent period of time."
But he has little hope of such
a renunciation.
Dictators
Like Betancourt, Leoni is also
against right-wing dictators in
Latin America. He has announced
he will follow Betancourt's policy
of refusing to reorganize any gov-
ernment established by a coup
over-throwing a democratically
elected regime.
In congress Leoni faces problems
in part easier than those of Betan-
court, but in part more difficulty.
Their party commands only 33 per
cent of the congress and therefore
needs allies for clearing any legis-
lation.
The new congress has no Com-
munist or Revolutionary Left
members, the two parties having
been banned from the election.
Betancourt's opposition in the
chamber of deputies was a coali-
tion of leftist parties, including
Communists, which deliberately
sabotaged his legislative program.
Unlike Betancourt, Leoni has
rejected the Social Christian
Party as a coalition partner and
instead has formed a pact with
some of the very' parties which
fought Betancourt, principally the
Republican Democratic Union.
Some political experts consider
this alliance cannot last long. They
forecast'that Leoni eventually will,
have 'to ask help from the Social
Christians to maintain stability.
Their expectation is that the
Republican Democratic Union and
leftist splinter parties will, press
Leoni to grant amnesty to former
Communist a n d Revolutiona-ry
Left congressmen who were jailed
by -Betancourt. for court-martial
on charges of rebellion.
Envoys of 50 nations have pre-
sented credentials for the inaugur-
ation. Interior Secretary Stewart
L. Udall heads the United States
delegation.
