Political Career. Collaborated with the Japanese during the war, worked with the U.S. and the U.N. afterward, always striving to keep the Dutch out. In December 1949 the Dutch were finally out, and Sukarno was in as first President. Today his country is near bankruptcy and revolt-racked, but adoring masses hail "Bung Karno" (Brother Karno), worship him as liberator of the land. A neutralist in the cold war, he plays hot and cold with the Communists. In 1948 he drowned a Red revolt in blood, in 1956 tried his hardest to bring Reds into the Cabinet. Played host...

Somali tribesmen, mindful of their hatred of the Mussolini colonial era, at first conducted a war of terrorism against the territory's Italians, killing more Europeans than were slain in Kenya's Mau Mau revolt. But tribesmen have been won over by Italy's patience and good will. "Somalis will always be grateful to Italy," said Aden Abdullah. Last week, with its ten-year trusteeship term half over, Italy turned over all legislative power to an elected native Parliament. Abdullah's party, dedicated...
