Palace sources said he was not seriously ill, but would have to rest tor a few days. Last June he received medical treatment in Vienna. It was the third time in two years that he had consulted Viennese physicians. Dr. Mohammed Hatta, former Vice-President of Indonesia. will leave for Sweden next Sunday for medical treatment. He has been in Djakarta’s Central Hospital for some weeks suffering a nerve disease. Palace sources said President Soekarno suggested to Dr. Hatta he should receive further treatment overseas and told him the State would pay expenses.
