ROUGHLY HANDLED
COMMUNISTS IN AUSTRALIA. (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) Sydney, November 24. A wrathful crowd of 400 made three attempts at Armidale to throw Communists into a creek, but on each occasion their prey was rescued by the police. One “Red” was roughly handled. Failing to find any more Communists in the streets, the angry crowd conducted a hunt at a boardinghouse, but discovered that those they’ were seeking had left. The town is seething with excitement and the activities of the citizens left no doubt as to the treatment visiting Communists would receive.
