Plague Claims 49 Lives In North Chahar

Ban Francisco, October 30.

The plague which is grip ping Northern Chahar Pro- vince has claimed the lives of 49 people so far, Peking Radio reported tonight.

Late last week the Radio said that the plaque was af- facting an ares North of Kal- gan, the provincial-capital of Chahar.

PEKING ISSUES WARNING

Singapore, October 30.

Senior British political and Service chiefs in Asia and the For East, meeting here this week, are expected to draw up plans to deal with any adverse reaction in Hong Kong and Malaya to a British recognition of the Com- munist regime in China.

Political observers believe that the 17-month old state of emergency in Malaya has succeeded only in "checking" the revolt of local Com- munists.

The terrorists are dominated by a "hard core" of

Communists, and there is evidence to“ sup”, port the fact that the guerilla leaders are holding out for promised "material and moral aid" from the Chinese Communists.

Few observers see an end to this emergency until the fanatical Communist leaders in the jungle are silenced, and the hope of aid from out side Communists vanishes.
