Razak Sees
Indonesian
Aggression
Subandrio Predicts
Inevitable 'Contact'
KUALA LUMPUR (/P)-Malaya
ordered a military buildup yester-
day.
It said Indonesia with its grow-
ing military strength threatened
the projected Federation of Malay-
sia--planned as a bulwark against
Communism in Southeast Asia.
Tunku Abdul Razak, deputy
prime minister and defense min-
ister, announced the buildup after
a cabinet meeting called to con-
sider a warning from Indonesian
Foreign Minister Subandrio.
Subandrio said Monday that
"physical contact" between Indo-
nesia and Malaysia was inevitable
if Malaya continued what he call-
ed a hostile attitude toward In-
donesia. He threatened to give.
full assistance to rebels in Brit-
ish-controlled North Borneo to
keep that area out of the federa-
tion.
Razak said this Indonesian line
was a "threat to the security of
the country."
Razak announced the govern-
ment will spend substantial sums
"in the next few years" to buy
planes, ships and new equipment
for the nation's tiny armed forces.

Take Over Full Control
BAGHDAD (P)-A government led by young and relatively un-

Iraq against fading Communist resistance.
Working virtually around the clock, the new men were busy gath-
ering the reins of power from the shambles of overthrown Premier
Abdel Kerim Kassem's regime.
Close students of the Iraqi scene pictured them as socialists, ideal-
ists and fervent believers in Arab unity-but trying to keep a truly

al Abdel Nasser of the United Arab
Republic and to get along with the
West.
Nominally, the revolutionary re-
gime which overthrew Kassen last
weekend is led by President Abdel
Salam Mohammed Aref, a 42-year-
old ex-colonel who teamed with
Kassem to destroy the Iraqi mon-
archy in 1958 and later broke with
him.
But the belief here is that his
powers may be largely ceremonial.
