Bangkok Back To Norma!
BANGKOK. Mon. (11 a.m.)—A Government communique today claimed that the situation in Bangkok had “speedily restored to normal,” after the week-end clash between Army and Navy groups. However, troops have been ordered to stand by for action, in case of emergency.
Bangkok has remained peaceful in the last 24 hours, though two minor gun battles have been reported. The participants in these incidents have not been identified. Police and military patrols have sealed off important Government offices and strategic zones.
An unconfirmed report says four civilians died and several were wounded in the week-end shooting affray.
