(N Z. Press Association—Copyright)
WVI YORK, Feb 12 Anti-American posters, leaflets and crudely painted “Kennedy Go Home” signs appeared in Djakarta today as Indonesia awaited the arrival of the United States Attorney General (Mr Robert Kennedy).
Mr Kennedy and his wife left Hong Kong early today for a six-day visit to Indonesia.
"Kennedy Go Home.” and "United States No, Indonesia Yes.” were scrawled in red paint on walls and buildings, the Associated Press reported from Djakarta. Youths dis-
tnbuted leaflets and posters that read “United States Government Imperialists.” One slogan said: “America Supports Dutch." The Communist-dominated youth organisation, Peauda Rujat, submitted a list of questions to the Foreign Ministry which it wanted delivered to Mr Kennedy. A.P. said
The questions asked the United States attitude of the New Guinea dispute and whether the United States could, in the future, be impartial and not permit Dutch aircraft carrying troops to use American airfields in the Pacific.
