"Djakarta, June 30,
The Indonesian Government turned today to President Soekarno for a solution to its four-day crisis with the Army.
Prime Minister Ali Sastroamidjojo, Vice-Prime Minister Zainal Arifin, Defence Minister Iwa Kusumasumantri and Major- General Bambang Utoyo went to Bogor this morning to confer with Dr Soekarno at his palace in the small West Java town. They were seeking a way out of the impasse created by the Army's refusal to accept Gen. Utoyo as Chief of Staff despite the fact that Dr Soekarno formally installed him as Army commander on Monday in ceremony boycotted by almost all army officers.
