Electric light sign and newspaper headlines on the firing of Dutch warships by the Indonesian marine near New Guinea. State Secretary of Internal Affairs T.H. Bot gives a short reaction to the news, in which he expresses a feeling of disappointment, because the Netherlands tried to come up with a peaceful solution. He still wants to talk with Indonesia about the future of New Guinea through the UN and the USA.
