Contrary to Indonesian Army expectations, army leaders hold no special position in the Front hierarchy. Approximately 32 percent of the 70 members of the Front's central board are members of the Indonesian Communist party or appear susceptible to Communist direction; approximately 20 percent are army oriented. Aidit and Army Chief of Staff General Nasution are two of seven equally ranking vice chairmen; the remaining five are likely to look primarily to Sukarno for guidance. The secretary general of the organization, Sudibjo, is a weak personality who in the past has appeared to be a Communist dupe.\n\nThe National Front is intended to function through a multilevel structure ranging from the executive board in Djakarta to village organizations throughout the nation. Its purpose is twofold: to strengthen national unity and to provide mass support for the government, thereby making \"guided democracy\" work. According to Sukarno's plan, all political parties and functional groups will work through the Front--submerging their identities and interests to do so.\n\nOnly the superstructure of the organization has yet been appointed; other levels, however, are likely to reflect the composition of the executive and central boards. Once the organization is activated, it is likely to provide a formidable and protected vehicle for use by the Communists.\n\nSukarno appears to have bowed temporarily to army opposition and abandoned his efforts to include Communists in the cabinet. Instead, he is promoting them in other government organizations in the apparent hope of gradually working them into the direct line of government despite army objections.\n\nSECRET\n\n14 Jan 61 CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN Page 1\n\nApproved for Release: 2020/08/11 C02000173","text_extracted_at":"2026-03-06T21:11:15.386Z","text_source":"ocr","width":2544},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KK2FRNHE2XHKQAQ0XCY24V6F","predicate":"derived_from"},{"peer":"01KK2FMPQS3KX59D7G345X3DZD","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"},{"peer":"01KK2FVGW26ZKSWDBZA4XN8QR0","peer_label":"indonesian communist party","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"political_party","extracted_at":"2026-03-06T21:11:33.083Z"}},{"peer":"01KK2FVGSMP0QWNAXGB65N2GM1","peer_label":"general nasution","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"person","extracted_at":"2026-03-06T21:11:33.083Z"}},{"peer":"01KK2FVGT1GX7AD5ZGYX626VVR","peer_label":"sukarno","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"person","extracted_at":"2026-03-06T21:11:33.083Z"}},{"peer":"01KK2FVGW2BCG8EK374DQRDE6S","peer_label":"national front","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"political_organization","extracted_at":"2026-03-06T21:11:33.083Z"}},{"peer":"01KK2FVGW5QA5KHG1HGZE3RWB0","peer_label":"aidit","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"person","extracted_at":"2026-03-06T21:11:33.083Z"}},{"peer":"01KK2FVGT93D0KAQV0105WF8GQ","peer_label":"indonesian army","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"military_organization","extracted_at":"2026-03-06T21:11:33.083Z"}},{"peer":"01KK2FVHF21J5H4WB28V01H55H","peer_label":"sudibjo","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"person","extracted_at":"2026-03-06T21:11:33.083Z"}},{"peer":"01KK2FVHB04K32M74GDZ0TZQCA","peer_label":"guided democracy","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"political_concept","extracted_at":"2026-03-06T21:11:33.083Z"}},{"peer":"01KK2FVHCVGRZJV00BANZBSXDM","peer_label":"cabinet","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"government_body","extracted_at":"2026-03-06T21:11:33.083Z"}},{"peer":"01KK2FVHEKVE86WF3G1RZVKAZ1","peer_label":"djakarta","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"place","extracted_at":"2026-03-06T21:11:33.083Z"}},{"peer":"01KK2FVHFBPBVKDC655YFJJJT5","peer_label":"village organizations","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"entity","extracted_at":"2026-03-06T21:11:33.083Z"}},{"peer":"01KK2FVHJ4SN8HSQ7NT9CBHJ91","peer_label":"other government organizations","predicate":"extracted_entity","properties":{"entity_type":"entity","extracted_at":"2026-03-06T21:11:33.083Z"}}],"ver":4,"created_at":"2026-03-06T21:11:04.948Z","ts":"2026-03-06T21:11:34.608Z","edited_by":{"method":"system","user_id":"01KJ60XQBHJ0GBGTP9X8HXAPPM"}}
