(Rec. 11.30 p.m.) SINGAPORE, Nov. 1. Posters campaigning for the return of Mr Anthony Brooke to Sarawak and his assumption of rule over a revived kingdom met Sir Charles Arden Clarke when he arrived at Kuching yesterday to assume the governorship. The Singapore “Free Press’’ correspondent reported that the hereditary paramount chief, Dtau Pattinggi, did not attend the installation ceremony, but sent instead a protest about the cession of Sarawak and appealed for revocation. The Dyak leader, Philip Jitam. also boycotted the ceremony and the Dyaks offered no addresses of welcome.
