STRICT CENSORSHIP
Concern In Thailand By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received November 26, 12.12 a.m.) BANGKOK, November 25. The police have issued an order prohibiting the publication of the activities of the armed forces especially in the border regions in view of the increasing seriousness of the present crisis. The Hanoi correspondent of the Havas Agency states it is officially announced that a border Incident occurred on the Thailand frontier on Saturday night. Siamese troops attempted to cross a border creek near Popet. The Siamese retreated after the exchange of a few shots. Several native police guards were killed and wounded on Friday night in several villages west and north of Saigon when gangs of armed bandits attacked isolated police stations and several local administration offices in the Vunglien, Tamblnh and Canglong districts. The military authorities took “strong action” in restoring order. A number of the ringleaders were arrested. Apparently all the news agencies except the Domei and Havas haue been censored for the last 48 hours from Indo-China.
