Jakarta, Peking break relations
From the wires of United Press International
JAKARTA — The Indonesian government today broke relations with Communist China, handing Peking the worst diplomatic defeat in its 18-year history.
The break in relations was announced after an emergency cabinet meeting called by acting President Gen. Suharto and an emergency meeting of Indonesian diplomats called home from Asian countries by Foreign Minister Adam Malik.
Two years ago Indonesia was one of Communist China's closest satellites. It boasted a Communist
party that ranked third only behind those in China and the Soviet Union.
The Indonesian communique said Red Chinese diplomats and embassy staff members would be held in Jakarta until all members of the Indonesian mission in Peking were delivered safely to Hong Kong.
Indonesian diplomats and mission staff members in Peking have been held under house arrest.
A delegation of the students who sacked the Chinese Embassy and beat up Chinese diplomats on Friday had demanded that relations be broken by today.
DMZ 'wall' may be nuclear
WASHINGTON—Nuclear land mines may be used to reinforce the administration's proposed anti-infiltration barriers across Vietnam, the ranking House Republican on the joint congressional Atomic Energy Committee suggested Sunday.
"Is this the next logical step in the Johnson's administration's shifting nuclear attitudes and changing nuclear applications?" Rep. Craig Hosmer, R-Calif., asked in a statement. "What has evolved from 1964 to date gives reason to believe so."
The Pentagon had no comment
on how the anti-infiltration barrier just below the Demilitarized Zone would be built, but a spokesman noted that Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara was on record repeatedly in the past as saying "he can foresee no use of nuclear weapons in Vietnam."
But Hosmer quoted McNamara as saying recently that a Turkish proposal for sowing its Soviet frontier with atomic land mines to thwart invasion should not be considered provocative because the mines could only be used for defense.

Gregory arrested in open housing march
MILWAUKEE -- Open-housing marchers were scattered by stick-swinging police Sunday night during the 42nd consecutive demonstration. One sniper fired on police.
At least 20 persons, including comedian Dick Gregory, were arrested in the flurry of club swinging, County Emergency Hospital
reported treating at least 30 persons.
The brief clash occurred after 150 open housing advocates refused to move their column onto the sidewalk. Earlier, the marchers had brushes with police when they twice attempted to confront a group of about 100 white counterdemonstrators in the predominantly Negro north side area.
Gregory, who has taken an active part in the demonstrations here the past month, planned to stay in jail overnight, according to attorney James Shellow, who represented the marchers. Others arrested were released after posting $250 bond.
Police refused comment.
