POWER FOR ARREST
POSSESSION OF SUBVERSIVE DOCUMENTS
An amendment to the Public Safety Emergency Regulations published with last night's Gazette gives the police power to arrest persons found distributing or in the possession of subversive literature or documents, pending the approval of the Attorney-General to further proceedings in such cases. Hitherto the police were able to arrest such offenders only after the AttorneyGeneral's sanction had been Received, but they are now authorised to make immediate arrests in such cases.
