WIN-OR-LOSE BID FOR CAPITAL BY BURMA REBELS
RANGOON, May 5.
Three hundred Karen hill rebels were killed in the past three days of fighting in the Daiku sector, about 70 miles north of Rangoon, the Burmese Government stated today. Military observers here said the outcome of the fighting around Daiku would determine the fate of the Karen insurrection. Government troops in the area were engaging the bulk of the Karen forces withdrawn from all central Burmese sectors for a “win-or-lose” thrust towards the capital.
