WEST NEW GUINEA
Infiltrators Captured t W ZP.A -Iteuter—Com/rtoht) HOLLANDIA, April 25 Two captured infiltrators said today they were addressed by the Indonesian Minister for Defence. General Nasution, before leaving Djakarta for underground work in West New Guinea. The infiltrators, a Papuan and an Indonesian, were interviewed separately by visiting Dutch journalists in the Hollandia gaol. Sixteen infiltrators captured on the north coast of West New Guinea last month are in the gaol. Both captives, who declined to be identified for fear of reprisals, said they were addressed by General Nasution on August 8, 1960. The captives said they had been instructed to keep up guerilla warfare until at least September, 1960, when President Soekamo would take up the West New Guinea issue with the United Nations. A revolt was planned for this time, they said.
