NASUTION ELECTED
Curbs On Sukarno (N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) DJAKARTA, June 22. General Abdul Haris Nasution was unanimously elected last night to head Indonesia’s Provisional People’s Consultative Congress. More than 500 congress members in a plenary session repeatedly applauded every time General Nasution’s name was mentioned by various speakers supporting his nomination. General Nasution was Defence Minister until last February, when ‘ president Sukarno ousted him from the Cabinet without any explanation. His election as chairman of the congress was a move seen as a further curb on President Sukarno’s dwindling powers.
