of 11 October.
Repeated for information to POLAD Singapore, Washington and Canberra,
Sitrep for period 060800 to 110800. My telegram 1496.
There has been an increase in bomb activities during this period. On 6
and 7 October only one real bomb was found out of a total of 42 reports,
but during Sunday 8th, there were 108 reports of which 19 were genuine.
Incidents took place in Wanchai district of Hong Kong Island where on
two occasions bombs were thrown at police/military investigation parties
injuring one Army sergeant, 110 police (including an inspector and a
sergeant) and four civilians. Further, bombs were found in Kowloon where
a small crowd had to be dispersed with gas and baton shells.
2. On 9th there were 80 bomb reports of which 17 were genuine. During
the evening, in a bomb throwing incident in Kowloon, a man, thought to
be a bomb thrower, was seriously injured and died in hospital. On 10th
there were two genuine bombs out of a total of 49 reported. The
Communist Press described all these bombs and incidents as response to
the All Circles Struggle Committee call for action.

3. The "double tenth" celebration passed off without serious incident.
Functions were well attended and compared to 1966 there was a decrease
in the number of nationalist flags displayed, although an increase in
the new territories. large K.M.T. posters denouncing the Communists were
removed from public areas in Kowloon. A group of Communist students were
assaulted by a crowd in Rennies Mill Village (a strong nationalist area)
when they attempted to remove nationalist flags.
Since
La An off duty police constable was abducted at Sha Tau Kok on 7th
October but was returned on 8th. 7th October a number of cattle with
anti-British slogans painted on them have been driven over the bridge at
Man Kam To. On 8th October a small demonstration occurred at Man Kam To
and on 9th three food lorries crossed over with inflammatory posters on
them, two proceeded with the posters removed and the third returned to
China.
5.
During the period the police have conducted a number of selective
raids, seizing quantities of inflammatory documents, crude or imitation
weapons.

Supplies of livestock and vegetables continue to cross the border in
good quantities, and retail prices are gradually dropping.
7. On 9th and 10th the Communist Press gave prominence to Peking Protest
Note. On 6th the Press also announced a three-day strike in the local
fishing industry commencing 8th October. Landings were exceptionally
high on 8th, but decreased on 9th and 10th probably because local
fishermen holding commune licences were keeping at sea during this
period, though bad weather has also had some effeat.

Repeated for information to POLAD Singapore, Washington and Canberra
Situation Report for period 060800 to 110800.
My immediately preceding telegram.
The increase in bomb incidents during the period preceding 10th October
is believed to have been intended to cause as much tension as possible
for the Nationalist celebrations and the police raids were designed to
counter these and other measures that may have been contemplated by the
militant Communists. The wide coverage given in the Communist Press on
9th and 10th to the Peking protest is also considered to have been timed
for the same disruptive reasons. However there were no significant
incidents and the K.M.T. supporters acted throughout as if they intended
