Unrest After Failed Coup Try in Jakarta
Reports say Islamic groups involved in last Friday's attempt to overthrow President Sukarno remain at large. After setting fire to the Communist headquarters, youths roamed Jakarta directing revolutionary signs at government fronts while the army accused a youth wing of the coup leaders. The military launched a broad anti-Communist drive, seizing PKI members and weapons amid foreign reporting of Peking influence. Demonstrators later marched past the U.S. embassy shouting pro American slogans.
