Officially stripped of his powers and titles, remained in seclu- sion today while the new acting president, Gen. Suharto, pre- pared for possible violence. Potential trouble spots in central and east Java--the 66- year-old former stronghold--re- mained quiet, but word of his dethronement may not have reached there yet due to the chaotic state of the island's communications. The Indonesian Congress swore in Suharto as_ acting president Sunday to replace Su- karno, the only president the Indonesians have known since he proclaimed their independ- ence in 1945. There were fears that Su- karno supporters among the military and the people may start an insurrection to keep him in power. Sukarno declined to return to Jakarta from his mountain pal- ace at Bogor, 40 miles east of Jakarta. There were reports he may be forced to live in retire- ment at Bogor. Sources from Jogjakarta, the capital. of central Java, said troops were patrolling the city but it appeared quiet. There have been numerous small- scale clashes and terrorist kill- ings in the area in recent months between pro- and anti- Sukarno forces.
