Indonesian
Crisis Could Affect Chinese Prestige
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Associated Press Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON - In the ab-'
sence of persuasive evidence to
the contrary, United States offi-
cials are becoming convinced that
President Sukarno of Indonesia
probably has lost the capacity to
govern his troubled island country.
The question of what has hap-
pened to Sukarno is regarded by
experts here as the key to the
mystery of the political explosion
in Jakarta, which has been mark-
ed by an extraordinary silence on
the part of the 64-year-old presi-
dent of the republic.
Speculation abroad has centered
on the possible death or crippling
illness of Sukarno. U.S. authorities
consider either of these possibili-
ties could prove true. Or there
may be some other explanation.
What they think likely is that
while Sukarno clearly remains a
symbol of almost godlike attrac-
tion for most of Indonesia's 100
million people, his ability to exert
effective political power in Jakarta
probably is ended.
Whatever explanation emerges
as true will have an important
bearing on how the results of the
coup and counter-coup are to be
assessed. This in turn could vit-
ally affect Communist China's in-
ternational prestige.
A complete Communist take-
over in Indonesia would have to
be registered as a Red Chinese
victory. An end to, or marked de-
crease in, Chinese Communist in-
fluence in Jakarta would be a
severe defeat for Peking.
The Communist aspect of the
conflict is probably the most con-
fusing single element, apart from
the fate of Sukarno.
Interest in this angle developed
sharply Saturday with a report
from Jakarta that the newspaper
Harian Rakjat, an outlet for the
Indonesian Communist party -
PKI-had published a brief en-
dorsement of the Sept. 30 move-
ment, which reportedly carried
out the original coup.
The publication seemed to pro-
vide a solid link for the first time
between the pro-Chinese PKI and
the rebel group that
power early Friday.
tried to seizeI
This in turn raised a question.
Why should the Chinese Commun-
ists or a party favoring their poli-
cies try to topple Sukarno, who
has led Indonesia into close ties
with Peking?
Up to the disclosure of the en-
dorsement some experts on Indo-
nesia rejected the notion that
there could have been a Com-
munist element in the rebel move-
ment because it did not appear to
make sense. Assuming now that
there was such an element, the
question arises as to why it -should
be.
This in turn focuses new atten-
tion on the fact that for the first
day and a half of the crisis Su-
karno, a man who loves public
appearance, had not been heard)
from. The fact suggested either
that he considered his safety in
grave jeopardy and felt too inse-
cure to speak upnor that he was
physically unable to do so.
Without this issue being sharply
posed the Jakarta crisis makes
little sense from the Washington
point of view unless some other
radical development were assum-
ed-for example, the possibility of
a switch in policy or policy em-
phasis by Sukarno,
Authorities note that the Indo-
nesian Communist party has
exerted increasing influence with
Sukarno over the past two years'
and he has fallen into step along
side the rulers of Communist
China so that the Chinese Com-
munist alignment of Indonesia
has been virtually complete.
Yet Sukarno stopped short of
putting decisive power into the
hands of Indonesian Communists.
One of his strongest supporters
has been Gen. Abdul Haris Nasu-
tion, a nationalist who has long
been considered pro-Western.
Had Sukarno-which U.S. offi-
cials think unlikely - decided to
try to balance his own position by
shifting somewhat away from the
Communists and encouraging the
nationalists it could have trigger-
ed a pro-Communist revolt against
him.

Willis Says I

CHICAGO ()-Chicago's school,
administrator said Saturday the
threat of holding back $30 million
in federal school aid funds "for
unknown, unstated reasons" will
set back "an increase in opportun-
ities for Chicago school children."
This, was the comment of Ben-
jamin C. Willis, superintendent of
Chicago public schools, on a state-
ment from the U.S. Office of Edu-
cation that federal aid will be
held back unless alleged discrim-
ination is halted.
"This is an alarming and threat-
ening kind of procedure," Willis
said at a news conference. "My
first knowledge of the threatened
action of the Office of Education
came yesterday afternoon.
No Indication
"At no time-even now-have
I received any indication of what
the complaints are or what the
probable noncompliances are."
Willis said so far as he knows,
a team of three federal Office of
Education investigators began its
work on Aug. 26. He said he has
not seen any of the three-man'
team since then, does not know
whether any person on the Chi-
cago school staff was ever con-
tacted for information, or if the
federal teams "spent any more
time here."
He said that the 1964 Civil
Rights Act specifically states that
no "order refusing to grant federal
assistance shall become effective"
e6.e si-r.: .euntil the applicant has been ad-
vised to comply with regulations.
The money cannot be withheld
"until there is an express finding
of noncompliance on the record,"
Willis said, and added: "I have

Guevara disappeared early in

Castro, in a speech Tuesday
night, said he would read in a
few days "a document from Com-

months." The crowd in ,Revolu-

Guevara and Castro reportedly
disagreed on the development of
Cuba's Communist party, eco-
nomic matters and the degree of
cooperation with the Soviet Union
and Red China.
