Visit By Sandys
(N .Z.P.A.-Reutor—Copyright) LONDON, July 8. The Colonial Secretary. Mr Duncan Sandys. will fly tomorrow to Brtish Guiana. Mr Sandys is expected to stay in British Guiana about a week. Earlier it had been understood that the settlement of the 80-day general strike in the colony might dissuade him from making his visit Troop Movement A company of 87 infantrymen of the Second Battalion, Grenadier Guards, left London for British Guiana today by air. Five hundred guardsmen will fly to Georgetown during the next 10 days. The movement, said a War Office spokesman, was a normal relief of the Frist Battalion, Coldstream Guards, arranged many months ago.
Work Resumed Twenty - five thousand workers in British Guiana returned to work today after the strike which was settled at the week-end. They are about 70 per cent of those who struck.
Others, including bauxite miners and employees of some commercial firms, are expected back within a few days. Racial tension appeared easier today in most areas, but was still high in the Ber,bice and West Demerara I regions.
