MacDonald Says Violent Revolution Planned
KNOWN COMMUNIST PLOT
Singapore, July 7-Royal Air Force rocket-firing Spitfires went into action against Malayan terrorists today, shooting up a jungle camp 40 miles northeast of Ipoh. Ground forces went in closely behind the attack only to find that the terrorists had evacuated the camp. They reported the rocket attack was "very accurate,” however.
Thirty armed Chinese today killed three of seven Javanese Living in a hut in South Perak and burned the hut down.
The Malayan Communists were planning a violent revolution to capture by force the government of Malaya, Mr Malcolm MacDonald, the Commissioner General for South East Asia, declared in a broadcast tonight over Radio Malaya.
Mr MacDonald said that since his last broadcast a month ago, the authorities had gathered much evidence about the present terrorist outbreak in the Federation of Malaya, which might spread to Singapore as part of an overall plan to paralyse the country and seize power.
Militant Communists, represent- ing less than one percent of the population, were fighting in Malaya to establish a stala which would enshrine the principal articles of their political faith.
"It is not a government of the people, by the people, for the people, but a government of the people for murderers by murderers," he Bald.
PLOTTERS ESCAPE®
Some of the principal plotters had escaped despite over a thousand arrests in the lost three weeks, but many important men had fallen into the hands of the Government.

Outlining the Government's action to meet the challenge, Mr MacDonald said that in the civil sphere sweep ing emergency powers of arrest, detention, banishment and czecu- tion had been introduced.

London, July 7.—A High Court judge today ruled that `` a wife has no right to shoot her husband just because he Is worthless.
"If all the spouses who have been unfaithful in this country in recent years could be shot by a spouse to whom they have given offence," Justice Sir Malcolm Hilbery said, "there would be a very high mortality rate among. the married."!
He was charging a jury, trying Mrs Doris Ellen Wiles, 27, for the murder of her husband.
The Jury subsequently disagreed and was dismissed. Justice Sir Malcolm Hilbery ordered a new trial.--United Press,
