Renmin Ribao p. 4 (15 Sep 1955) on the campaign before the 1955 elections. The excerpt says that besides PKI leader Aidit's speech at a rally, the campaign speakers included a PKI leader transliterated 'Aliming' and women's leader Mrs Umi Sardjono; a non-party candidate Mrs D. Susanto is also named, apparently at a Semarang event of 12 September. Her affiliation is not clear from the excerpt.
