CREECH JONES Russia Speeds TUC AT LOGGERHEADS

REPORTS ON MALAYA 'WAR'

London, October 26.

Some' 870 Communist guerillas have been killed in Malaya since the beginning of the emer- gency, the Colonial Secretary, Mr. Arthur Creech Jones, told Parliament today. "Bandit gangs and murder squads continue to take toll of life and property as the elimination of these evil-doers is not easy,” he said..

In the operation some 870 bandits have been killed and as a result of administrative measures a great deal has been done to deprive the hard core of the bandits of their 'source of supply.

BRITISH OFFER IN DESERT WAR

Cairo, October 26. Britain offered to equip a complete Egyptian armoured division for the Palestine war, but Ismail Sidky Pasha, the Egyptian Premier at the time, turned down the offer, a lead- ing Egyptian commentator said today.

Writing in the afternoon news paper "Al Zama," Edgerd Galle Pasha said highly-placed British officers gave him the information at the time of the Palestine war, He said the report was confirmed later.

The writer said the British Government made the offer Sidky Pasha, but the Premier re- fused ita decision, he sald. which probably caused the Arab, defeat in the Palestine war with

the Jews.

"Constant pressure, of the so- curity forces has broken up many of the larger gangs and most of the attacks are now made by fewer than 10 bandits." „Mr. Creech Jones said

An Azreement has been made with the Government of Siam for co-operation between, the police forces of the two countries that bandits may no longer escape by crossing from one country to another," he added.

The Minister said that if ban- dits surrendered with their arms and were not guilty of acts of murder or terrorism they would not suffer the death penalty.
