Indonesian Federal Troops Enter Padang, Rebel Capital JAKARTA, Indonesia VP) Thousands of Indonesian gov ernment infa.ntrymen and Ma rine commandos moved into the rebel capital of Padang in Central Sumatra Thursday after a massive amphibious landing on the beaches north of the city. They moved to link up with paratroopers and special combat forces who earlier in the day seized the Padang airport with hardly a fight. The joint naval, land and air operations appeared to be near accomplishing the objective of smashing a two-month , old reb ellion by young army colonels against the Sumatra govern ment. The long-predicted government offensive opened at daybreak. A destroyer and two corvettes shelled the beaches. Then two companies of Marine commandos swept ashore from transports.

Lauris Norstad, supreme Allied commander in Europe. A senior official said Norstad advi•,crt the ministers of France's agicement in principle to the bases. A Fiench Foreign Ministry spokesman said negotiations with the United States now are under way. If successfully concluded, these talks could lead to estab lishment of roc k e t-launching basei in France. The ministry spokesman would give no details, however, of the status of the negotiations or of French terms for an agreement, and American officials would not comment. Britain was the first to accept medium-range missile bases, and Norstad said other Euro pean nations in preliminary talks indicated they would ac• cept them. Norstad startled the defense ministers by refusing to . name the other nations on the ground too much information on the secret sessions was leaking to the press. NATO Secretary General Paul- Henri Spaak supported the Amer ican general's complaint of news leaks. The French decision could be withdrawn by a new French gov ernment that is due to replace Felix Gaillard's caretaker regime. Norstad's strategy is to build up a shield to about 30 divisions— or roughly double the present numbers—armed with both con ventional arms and tactical atom ic weapons. ultaneously onto the airport four miles north of Padang. Reinforcements were ordered in on reports of light resistance on the beachhead. The reb el defense line was thin, stretched along 100 miles of coast north and south of Pa- dang, the last major rebel stronghold on Sumatra. Seizure of the airport was speedy. The field had been made un usable by rebel dynamite blasts but it could be repaired rapidly to provide aerial reinforcement for the invaders. While Padang is the an nounced objective.'the Jakarta forces also might drive over the mountains in an attempt to seize the rebel capital of Bukittinggi, 44 miles inland. A prime objective is to seize rebel Premier Sjafruddin Prawir anegara and other members of the regime.

STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA • Senators Rip O Strauss Can M ixi ng Up Facts WASHINGTON (/P)—Senators accused Adm. Lewis L. Strauss Thursday of getting the American people "absolutely befuddled" over atomic matters. StrausS, who is chairman of the Atomic Energy Commis sion, hotly denied ever withholding information the people needed to know or ever deliber ately distorting any information. At a day-long session before the Senate Disarmament sub committee headed by Sen. Hu bert Humphrey (D.-Minn.), Strauss clashed with Hum phrey and Sens. Stuart Syming ton (D.-Mo.) and Clinton An erson "This secrecy racket has reached to the point where the people are absolutely befuddled," Symington told him. "The people are badly mixed up." Strauss shot back: "I don't be lieve the commission is keeping from the people any information essential to their decision. The' only thing withheld is essential defense information, the knowl edge of which would be beneficial, to a potential enemy." At immediate issue was the commission's public report on an underground atomic test ex plosion in Nevada last fall. The report said it was detectable no more than 250 miles away. Humphrey disclosed last month it had been picked up in Alas ka, 2300 miles away. The point is important because it bears on the argument over whether it is possible to detect cheating in any agreement with Russia to ban nuclear tests. While Strauss was appearing before the subcommittee, Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles went before the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee. Dulles urged approval of the administration bill to share U.S. atomic bomb know-how with the Allies, particularly Great Britain. Tunisia Plans To Ta 6 French Dispute to UN TUNIS (LP) President Habid Bourguiba warned Thursday that hr will take the French-Tunisian dispute to the United Nations again within a week unless a new French government immediately compromises. Bourguiba's statement virtually assured a Security Council dis cussion of the dispute, since for mation of a new Paris govern ment is expected to take much longer than a week. The government of Premier Fe lix Gaillard resigned after the National Assembly rejected Tues day night a compromise plan recommended by the U S.-Brit ish good offices team which is seeking to ease French-Tunisian relations. "I cannot wait a very long time," Bourguiba sa id in his weekly broadcast to his people. "The last time it took President Rene Coty six weeks to find a new government. I cannot wait while France goes through this process again . . . I want to see a new French government with in seven days." He predicted that if he again takes aggression charges to the Security Council, Tunisia will win a great victory.
