INTELLIGENCE MEMORANDUM
The Indonesian Situation
(Report. -- As_of P.M. EDT)
1. The army today launched a public campaign. against
Foreign Minister Subandrio. The army-controlled Djakarta
press demanded that he either. prove or retract his charge
that some of the press is financed by the CIA. A demon-
stration of some 10,000 Indonesian youths in front of the
Foreign Ministry repeated the challenge.
2. Reports that Subandrio is under continuous army
observation and will not be allowed to attend the upcoming
Afro-Asian Conference have been confirmed. According to
the army-controlled Antara News Agency, the composition
of the Indonesian delegation to the conference "will be
quite different" from the one sent to Algiers last June.
Reports indicate that Subandrio is now losing the support
of his top Foreign Ministry aides.
3. One of the two anti-Communist newspapers banned
Sunday by.Information Minister Achmadi has continued to
publish in,defiance of the ban. It is controlled by
Brigadier General Sukendro, whom Sukarno ordered out of
the country last week. Sukendro, however, plans a series
of postponements which will keep him in Indonesia
indefinitely.
