ARRESTS IN GHANA
Rioting In South ACCRA, March 10. The Ghana Government today warned that it would not tolerate violence or lawlessness in southern Togoland, and was ready to take steps to restore the rule of law. The warning was part of a statement recapitulating the history of recent events in southern Togoland, where five persons have been killed during active campaigning for a separate southern region of the new State. The statement said that about 80 persons, including certain leaders of violent demonstrations, had been arrested. Three military companies had been sent to the southern Togoland regions of Ho, Kpandu, and Hohoe. The Government said that since March 6 the whole of southern Togoland had been generally quiet, but the police were continuing to search for members of a gang of armed rioters and arrests had been made in other areas. The Government disclosed for the first time that before the present troubles began the police had discovered two training camps in the bush. They included living accommodation, sentry posts, and parade grounds. When security forces reached the camps they were deserted, but they had clearly been occupied just before.
