Sukarno, who called on his supporters to stand behind him or he would be toppled, said certain groups are exploiting the attempted coup's aftermath. Speaking as students rioted outside his summer palace here, he said: "A report said that the death toll of the aftermath of the coup was bigger than that in) the current Viet Nam war." | Sukarno then gave the death toll, but said he would punish reporters who wrote it. (The figure of 87,000 was reported by monitors in Singa- pore who picked it up from a live broadcast of his speech by Radio Jakarta.) Sukarno said he had been given the death-toll figures by leaders of a government mis- sion which had completed sur- veys of Central and East Java, Bali and North Sumatra.

For one 'thing, there's a live machine-gun on her front lawn, jwith an. efficient-looking operator always behind it. Elsewhere in the small gar- den, uniformed men carry carbines, rifles and grenades.

AND EXTREMELY DEADLY Good Place To Avoid Quite often, inside the bat- tleship-gray, two-storey home, rifles, pistols and soldiers out- number the pots and pans.

Through it all, Mrs. Rivera Caminero doesn't go. around with -that you-think-you-got- look on her pretty young face. She's poised, cheerful and busy; most of the time, just as if she'd been raised in a bat- tleship's ready room.

The extra-aid commitment is part of an agreement signed during the mission's seven-day visit to Hanoi, the communique said. Soviet rockets already are in North Viet Nam, and the U.S.S.R. has threatened several times to send "volunteers" there. Shelepin stopped off in Peking on his way to and from Hanoi and was given a seemingly cool reception by the Chinese.

He promised that "real demo- cratic elections" will be held in 1967, "The armed forces have as- sumed power, not with the in- tention of clinging to it, but to create the necessary conditions#y for setting up a genuine demo- cracy," he said. He said thanks to friendly na- tions--such as the United States --South Viet Nam can survive its economic upheavals and has sufficient gold reserves for rec- onstraction, if and when peace is restored.
