BURMESE ASSASSINS BELIEVED TO BE UNDER ARREST

(Rec. 2.30 p.m.) LONDON, July 30. Reviewing the situation in Burma, Mr Attlee said in the House of Commons today that the Government of Burma had announced that rumours in certain quarters connecting the British Government and the Governor with the recent outrages were “utterly unfounded” and that the British Government, the Governor and the Burmese Government were all co-operating to bring the culprits to book. Mr Attlee added that individuals impersonating the Burma civil police and carrying forged documents had, at the end of June and on July 12, obtained important consignments of

arms and ammunition from a base ordnance depot. A military court ol inquiry was immediately institute„ and the officer in charge of the depot had been relieved of his duties. The bulk of the stolen materials had been recovered. Mr Attlee said that the situation throughout Burma remained quiet and under control. There was no doubt that the majority of Burmese were solid behind Mr Thakin Nu and his Cabinet. He added that the Government of Burma had reason to believe that the assassins were among those arrested and that the assassinations were part of a filot to overthrow the G overnment.
