Reports circulated yesterday that ailing Indonesian President Sukarno may be succeeded by Dr. Chaerul Saleh, described as "a Communist with Peking orientation."

Editors
Peking, newly confident after its first nuclear explosion, is pursuing an increasingly strident "anti-imperialist" policy and courting support throughout Southeast Asia and Africa.
SUCH A shift could dramatically alter the balance of power in Southeast Asia. Indonesia is a nation of more than 105 million persons with vast resources.
In Jakarta, Sukarno, who is 63, appeared barefoot at an official ceremony yesterday with a swollen foot. He also is reported to be suffering from kidney ailments. But he denied that he would retire.
Reports reaching here said Sukar- no was seriously ill and may be compelled to hand over the reins of power.
Saleh, a political firebrand with strong nationalistic tendencies, could be expected, reports said, to press the Indonesian effort to "crush" the year-old neighboring Federation of Malaysia.
FAR EASTERN developments were discussed in Washington last week by President Johnson and British Prime Minister Harold Wilson, and they have been a focus of off-stage consultations here this week.
Diplomatic sources said the ministers' attention had been drawn to the explosive situation in Southeast Asia and the need for "concerted allied policies and strategy outside the Atlantic theater."
IT WAS NOTED that Sukarno made a visit to Moscow recently and returned without apparent firm promises of aid from the Soviet regime. It is felt he may have been disappointed in his talks at the Kremlin.
Indonesia has the third largest Communist party in the world, after Communist China and Russia, with some three million members. It is a militant party known to be pushing for power.
China has evinced considerable interest in Indonesia recently. Red Chinese Premier Chou En Lai has conducted consultations with Indonesian leaders.
President Sukarno denied last night he would resign because of ill health.
"If God so desires, I shall lead the Indonesian people to consummate their revolution until my last hour," he was quoted as telling a crowd at
the palace celebrating Armed Forces Religious Day.
HE NOTED that a statement signed by the country's 10 legal political parties last weekend said, "the Indonesian people will not permit Sukarno to resign."
Sukarno's swollen feet have caused him to go barefoot, even in public, since last Thursday.
One kidney has been removed, and the 63-year-old president is reported to have been told he must undergo another operation to save the remaining kidney.
SINCE HIS return from a three-month trip abroad this fall, the president often has seemed tired in public appearances, and he has cut down on the length of his speeches.
In another Indonesian development yesterday, D. N. Aidit, leader of the Indonesian Communist Party, announced that he would not attend the 25-nation conference of Communist parties called by Moscow unless Communist China was present.
The official news agency Antara quoted Aidit as saying the Indonesian party "is unable and will not take part in any international meeting unless it will be attended by Communist parties and representatives from all Socialist countries."
The Soviet Union has called a conference March 1 to prepare for the world conference.
