THAILAND ARRESTS
Accusation Of Plotting (NZ.P.A.-Reuter— Copyright) BANGKOK, Jan. 8. Police rounding up suspected members of a Communist - backed separatist movement in north-east Thailand have detained 72 persons, a police spokesman said today. The suspects were charged with plotting with foreign Communist® to join Thailand’s north-east territory to a “Communist - dominated” Laos. Police search parties found no arms in a cave in Sakol province which was earlier believed to contain the “armoury” of the separatists. But they arrested 13 persons who were believed to be making their way through the jungle to neighbouring Laos when they were caught.
