...detached from the U.S., Premier Djuanda honored U.S. Ambassador Howard P. Jones with a dinner at his official residence; Speaker of Parliament Sartono expressed his gratitude for U.S. economic and technical aid, and Sukarno's chief of staff, Major General Nasution, curtly put a stop to all anti-American parades and demonstrations, ordered everyone, in and out of government, to "respect the sound mutual relationships between all countries and peoples...
