INTELLIGENCE MEMORANDUM
The Indonesian Situation
(Report. - As of A.M. EDT)
1. First Deputy Prime Minister Subandrio has
publicly alluded to the official Communist Party state-
ment of 5 October that it was not involved in the 30
September movement. The army had apparently tried to
suppress the statement; Subandrio may well have been
the party's channel for surfacing it. The army had
hoped to gather strong evidence of Communist complicity
while the party was still officially silent in order
to Justify to Sukarno the need for strong anti-Communist
actions
4. A German physician saw Sukarno socially for a
half hour on 5 October. He told the US Embassy that he
observed nothing unusual in the president's mental or
physical condition and judged him to be in full control
of his faculties.
