yesterday shows that a little war is now in progress in the SAI LỠ DISTRICT, between the regular troops from NAM TAU and a
combined "Red" force of the local "Peasant Army" and bandits.
SAI LO, which is directly north of NAM TAU, has long been
notorious as the haunt of pirates and bandits, whose rendezvous

That there has been a severe engagement between a force
of about 700 regular troops and a force of "Reds" estimated at
1,000, and that the regulars are being re-inforced by troops
