Nasution wavered. The murder of his daughter had left him profoundly shocked. One day he would demand that Sukarno outlaw the P.K.I, or resign, the next declare his undivided loyalty to the "Great Leader of the Revolution." "General Nasution," observes one leading politician, "is the Hamlet of Indonesia. He believes he is destined to save the country. But he vacillates in a moment of crisis...
Legislators hope to get a regulatory law on the books before long.

House Banking Committee Chairman Wright Patman wants to outlaw all C.D.s on the ground that they have become "financial monsters." Congress will probably give the Johnson Administration about what Fowler asked. Whether it will act fast enough to protect savings and loan associations from heavy savings losses after their semiannual dividend payments next month is doubtful...
