3. SITUATION IN INDONESIA
Indonesian government officials appear
to have embarked on a co-ordinated drive
aimed at restoring national unity and car-
rying out President Sukarno's principles.
Prime.Minister Djuanda, accompanied by
two in ministers and two military officers, is touring
Central and South. Sumatra for talks with provincial adminis-
trators. He undoubtedly hopes these talks will lay the basis
for a reconciliation with Djakarta.
President Sukarno made a major address
in Central Java on 17 April in which he re-emphasized the need
for the early establishment of a national advisory council and
a national planning board to solve Indonesia's problems. Army
chief of staff Nasution will preside at a three-day national con-
ference in Djakarta, beginning on 26 April, which will include
military and civil administrators from the dissident areas who
will "discuss matters relating to the state of war and siege."
However, provincial officials--particularly
those in Sumatra--show no sign of surrendering to Djakarta.
While Lt. Col. Hussein, who controls Central. Sumatra and who
bypassed the last army conference in Djakarta, plans to attend
the :26 April.meeting, his chief objective reportedly is to get
in touch with disaffected army leaders in East Indonesia who
will also be present.

4. SUDAN POSTPONES ACCEPTANCE OF RICHARDS
MISSION'S OFFER
25X1A
25X1A
The Sudanese cabinet's postponement on
21 April of acceptance of the Richards
mission's offer of US aid "pending further
study" is the result of opposition by three
cabinet members who belong to the pro-Egyptian People's
Democratic Party (PDP)The 25X1
Umma Party, the other major member of the government
coalition, is reluctant to exert pressure on the PDP members
for fear of breaking up the coalition before the forthcomin
parliamentary elections. 25X1
there is a fair chance that the cabinet will vote acce t-
ance later and invite Richards to return. 25X1

25X1A
UN representative Jarring personally
confirmed to US ambassador Lodge on
22 April that he had made no significant
progress toward a.settlement of the
Kashmir problem. Nehru had demanded
withdraw a .o 'Pakistani troops from Kashmir and the crea-
tion of a proper atmosphere for negotiations before he was
willing to enter into any talks. He had also rejected Jarring's
suggestion that an arbitrator be appointed to determine when
these conditions had been established. Pakistan had reluc-
tantly accepted this proposal. Jarring stated that in his re-
port to the UN Security Council, which he hopes to submit
this week end, he would make no recommendations of any
kind, and that the report would neither improve nor worsen
the situation. He would be "quite happy" if the Security
Council took no action on it.
5. JARRING REPORTS NO PROGRESS IN KASHMIR MISSION
Pakistan apparently believes the Security
Council will be unable to find a satisfactory solution and is pre-
paring to try to take the case to the General Assembly.
