MAJOR VICTORY FOR U.N.
Received Monday, 7 p.m. NEW YORK, Aug. 3. Reports from Indonesia that the Dutch and Indonesian armies had agreed to halt hostilities in response to the United Nations' call, were received with jubilation by diplomats and United Nations offieials. Many diplomats eau- , tiously withheld comments on the quick end to the two-weeks' war until both sides actually put down their guns but the general feeling was that United Nations had probably won its first major victory and through this victory had gained a sorely needed increase in its prestige. It is recognised, of- course, that even if shooting stops on August 5, great difficulties will 4 remain before a peaceful solution of the dispute can be reached.
