(UPI Loyal Mobs Riot In Malaysia By PATRICK J. KILLE.V KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (UPI) A howling mob of 1,000 persons today smashed windows at the Indonesian Embassy here, burned an Indonesian consular office and wrecked three other offices in retaliation for attacks on the Malayan and British embassies in Indonesia. The rioters hurled rocks and firecrackers. They burned and trampled a giant portrait of Indonesian President Sukarno as the new Federation of Malaysia formally broke off diplomatic relations with its two large neighbors, Indonesia and the Philippines. The diplomatic break followed refusal of the Indonesian and Philippines governments to recognize Malaysia, which came into being Monday as a federation composed of Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak and North Borneo (Sabah).

Hoist Malaysian Flag The demonstrating mob today shouted anti-Sukarno slogans, removed the Indonesian emblem from the Indonesian Embassy and briefly hoisted the new Malaysian flag. Helmeted riot police pushed back the mob, took away the flag and put out the fire. There were no reported injuries despite the fact the demonstrators hurled rocks the size of bricks and tossed whole packages of firecrackers into the Indonesian compound. Several fires broke out in the shrubbery surrounding the embassy.

The demonstrators dragged the Indonesian Embassy emblem through the streets and marched on Prince Rahmans residence where they announced their confidence in the prime minister, architect of the new federation. Demonstrators picked up Rahman in his chair and cheered him. Moved By Patriotism Rahman, in tears, told the crowd: I am moved by your patriotism but I hope you will leave things to me and the government to handle. At a ceremony later today, Rahman formally proclaimed the establishment of the Malaysia before a crowd of 25,000 persons who braved rain in Mereka Stadium. The crowd joined the princely premier in seven thundering cheers of Merdeka! (freedom).

The riotious demonstrations in Kuala Lumpur were staged by Malay, Chinese and Indian youths in reaction to Mondays attacks on the British and Malayan embassies in Jakarta, the Indonesian capital.
