A "Free

Thai"

Nai Pridi Phanomyong, wartime leader of the Allied. spojisored "Free Thai" movement which fought the Japan- ese, denied he was involved in the 1946 shooting of King Ananda Mahidol of Slam.

Snapped at his first press conference in exile on St. John's Island in Singapore Harbour where he is under British protection, Nal Pridi sald he will not start a gov- ernment in exile.

He escaped to St. John's Island following the coup d'etat which returned the former Japanese collabora- tor. Field Marshal Phibun Swingrum, to power in Slam.

Britain and America, who have been accused of smug-

gling Pridi out of Siam, will, according to a United Press message yesterday, await the outcome of next mouth's Stamese elections before deciding whether or not to recognise the Bang- kok Government headed by Premier Aphaiwong.

Any evidence of a "rig- Red" election will kill all chances of recognition, in- former sources told United Press in Washington.-As- sociated Press Photo,
