Indonesian rebels proclaim revolutionary government in Sumatra
Ike sends new letter to Bulganin amid a revolt in Indonesia. Rebels announce a revolutionary government aimed at ousting Premier Djuanda and pressuring Sukarno to abandon guided democracy. Dr Sjafruddin Prawiranegara named premier and finance minister as crowds cheer in Padang. The move claims broad support in West Java and North Celebes with possible backing in West Borneo. Sumatra holds 12 million of the nation’s 83 million people. Jakarta offers no obvious response.
