REBELS IN SOUTHERN SIAM
(Rec. 7 p.m.) BANGKOK. April 29. Peace is being speedily restored in the southern districts of Siam, where an anti-Government uprising broke out earlier this week, according to an official announcement in Bangkok. Thirty “rebels” and six police were killed in two days of fighting. The Siamese Prime Minister (Marshal Pibul* Songgram) said that police caused the trouble when they intervened in a Moslem religious ceremony near the frontier station at Sungeigolok. The Government had declined, with thanks, a British offer to quell the uprising.
