Sukarno's Role: An Exile at Home (New York Times, 27 Oktober 1968)
Sukarno's role: an exile at home (New York Times, 27 October 1968)
New York Times, 27 Oct 1968, p.5, Terence Smith from Jakarta: Sukarno lives under house arrest at Bogor and was interrogated in Sept-Oct 1968 about clandestine contacts with former associates, after Communists captured in the Blitar operations (2,000 killed or captured, including PKI chairman Oloan Hutapea) implicated them. His second wife Hartini, described by the paper as a former chairman of Gerwani, allegedly acted as courier. Gerwani itself is only an identifier here.

Istri keduanya, Hartini, yang disebut koran ini bekas ketua Gerwani, diduga menjadi kurir. Gerwani hanya disebut sebagai penanda identitas.
