POLISH PURGE
LONDON, Fri. (10 a.m.) — Reuters Warsaw correspondent, confirming reports of the purge of Polish Government Ministers and officials, says the targets of this latest sweep of “untrustworthy” elements appear to be:
Men who have spent a long period abroad in Western countries. Those considered sympathetic towards the nationalistic stand of former Deputy Prime Minister Wladyslaw Goulka, who was dismissed for differing from the Cominform altitude on the Tito issue.
Strict security measures have been introduced in all state departments.
Indonesian Base
THE HAGUE. Fri. (10.30 a.m.) -- The Indonesian round-table conference has agreed that Surabaya Naval Base should be controlled by the future United Republic of Indonesia, but that the Dutch should be able to use it. The Dutch naval commander will be responsible to the Republics Defence Minister for protecting its installations.
Chinese Nationalist 824 bombers raided Communist installations in Shanghai and adjoining areas today. An Air Force communique, issued in Taipeh, claimed that considerable damage was inflicted.
