They defied the central government and de manded Sastroamidjojo s resigna tion, while generally pledging ioy alty to Sukarno. The Premier's resignation was known to be imminent. The out' going government had lasted less than a year, although Saslroamia jojo had a previous term as pre mier in 19S3-U. He was ambas- '. sador to Washington in 1950-53. Sastroamidjojo stepped down at 1 a meeting in the presidential pal ' ace also attended by chiefs of the army, navy and air force. Sukarno's emergency proclama tion cited the critical situation ' throughout the country. He for mally delegated governing autho rity to the district military com manders, who had already seized it in their four rebellions. The commanders were sum moned to Jakarta, the national capital, for talks with Sukarno and Gen. Ahdul Haris Nasutlon, army chief of staff. AU were ex , pected to arrive by tomorrow ex cept Ll. col.

They were followed last week by east Indo nesiathe Celebes, Timor, the Lesser Sundas, Flores and Bali. South Sumatra joined the move ment last Saturday.

The outer Islands have long complained that the Javanese, who dominated the central gov ernment, were diverting the bulk of the proceeds and foreign ex change from Indonesian exports much of it from the other is- to Java's benefit and were laggard in developing the other areas. . One suggestion has been that Sukarno form a presidential gov ernment with former Vice Presi dent Mohammed Halta, a Sumat ran and the other leading hero of the 1945 revolution. Halta, a moderate, broke with the President last December and resigned his vice presidency hut the two have shown signs recently of getting together again.
