Thai Premier Wants Aid Against Reds
Bangkok, Aug. 30. The Thai Premier, Luang Pibul Songgram, said today that the Com- munist pressure on Thailand had become so "alarming" that he was urgently considering ways to get modern equipment from abroad.
Thalland, all of whose neighbours are battling Communist uprisings, is reorganising her border patrols und preparing to deal with feat-growing internal Com- munist agitation, the Premier told Reuter in an exclu- sive Interview..
