US Embassy weekly political-economic-military situation telegrams, April 1962
US Embassy Weekly Situation Telegrams, April 1962
Two US Embassy Djakarta weekly situation telegrams (JOINT WEEKA 14 and 15), 6 and 13 April 1962, on the West New Guinea dispute, PKI-Sukarno friction, Partindo, wage demands and military matters. Gerwani appears only once: it joined SOBSI and others in protesting the 'undemocratic' draft election bill providing for popular election of only one-third of legislative members.
Dua telegram situasi mingguan Kedubes AS Jakarta (JOINT WEEKA 14 dan 15), 6 dan 13 April 1962, tentang sengketa Irian Barat, ketegangan PKI-Sukarno, Partindo, tuntutan upah dan urusan militer. Gerwani hanya disebut sekali: bersama SOBSI dan lainnya memprotes RUU pemilu yang 'tidak demokratis' karena hanya sepertiga anggota badan legislatif dipilih rakyat.
“p.9: 'FURTHER STATEMENTS PROTESTING "UNDEMOCRATIC" NATURE OF BILL HEARD FROM WOMEN'S FRONT GERWANI, SOBSI RAILWAY WORKER'S UNION KBKI AND ... BINTANG TIMUR.'”
