PRESIDENT SUKARNO Of Indonesia was reported to have handed over

all political power to the army after several weeks of student rioting, but two days later he appeared to be making a comeback. There were new rumours of a political coup in Saigon, rioting broke out again in Watts, Los Angeles, President Nkru- mah of Guinea threatened an invasion of Ghana; and Canada found itself faced with a sort of super-Profumo case in which more than one member of the previous Conservative Cabinet was alleged to have slept with an alleged acting East German spy, Fraulein Gerda Munsinger.
