SIAMESE LEADERS’ FLIGHT

ALLEGED COMPLICITY IN KING’S MURDER

(Rec. 7 p.m.) BANGKOK. July 1. Four senior Siamese statesmen who are wanted by the police in connexion with the King Ananda assassination trial have taken refuge at Satahip. a naval station on the Gulf of Siam. They include Dahamrong Nawasvasti, who was Prime Minister at the time of Marshal Songgram’s coup d’etat last November. Tneir dramatic flight followed the Government’s issue of warrants for the arrest of six senior Siamese politicians in connexion with the murder, including one for the former Prime Minister and the resistance leader, Piridi Panomyong, who is reported to have landed secretly at Satahip last night in a Catalina flying-boat. He was previously reported to be in Macao. A Defence Ministry spokesman described as a “sinful table” rumours in the city that the navy had resolved to oppose Marshal Songgram’s action against the statesmen.
