Nov. 91-(UP)-hundred Japanese soldiers, charged with preserving law ond ordar. fought side by side with British troops In Semarang today to quell Indonesian native uprisings which persisted throughout Java after a breakdown of peace negotiations. British commanders assigned the conquered Japanese forces to guard one section of Hemarang. Military Informants said the Japanese were "naturally participating In the maintename of law and order” Spasmodic fighting continued In both Semarang and Soerabaja. British infantry and artillery detachments slowly were cleaning out nests of Indonesian extremist forces which, using secretly heardrd ammurfltion. made dashing attacks in some sections of the cities. Efforts to reach a peaceful settlement were at a standstill. The Indonesian "Republican government" was adamant In its refusal to participate in any discussions with the Dutch, whom It accused of disturbing the p-ace among the ItMoneslana. British officials took the view that three-way talks among the Indonesians. Dutch and British nt ill are possible, despite the Indonesian refusal to participate in last night's scheduled conference. How much strength the present Indonesian could muster in any peace discussions was uncertain. British officials described Its position as "shaky". Its fate will be decided Sunday at a national convention of Indonesian leaders who are expected to chart a course for the resistance movement. ■o " ■ Hearing Evidence In Barger Case Today Evidence on an amended cross complaint in the caee of Jacob Barger vs. Edward Barger, et al.. in a partition suit, wa^. being heard by Judge J.
