ORGANISED RACKET ENDED "Tykes" Sentenced In Kowloon Court
Collections From
Hawkers
Special Branch investigators have directed their attention to the practice of "organised collec- tion on a considerable scale" by hooligans, either on behalf of unscrupulous Police off- cers or for themselves..
As the result of a day-long watch by four Chinese detectives in the Argyle Street area on Sunday, four of these collectors (referred to as "tykes" by Mr. W. A. Blair-Kerr) were arrested and, on their pleading guilty yesterday, sentenced to two years' hard labour and recommended for life banishment.

FRENCH ARCHITECT'S HOUSING VIEWS
A public loan floated by Government for building
houses is more feasible than the “Braga Scheme," according to M. P. L. L. Blan, French architect who was recently awarded for bis work in organising the Free French Movement. in Hong Kong after France surrendered to the Germans.
In an interview with the "China Mail" yesterday, M. Brau expressed views similar to the sug- gestions put forward by Mr Lawrence Kadoorie, and added that there was little chance of Government supporting the "Braga Scheme" because of the cost involved on the part of Government." M.
