The Reds in North Korea are now using "Kamikaze” soldiers. They are suicide squads who deliberately draw fire on themselves so that other. Communists can make surprise attacks.

In the past few days group's of them have been seen standing openly on hilltops. Sometimes 50 or more run down a road straight into our lines shouting "Manzal, manzal”,

Danger Of Toy Pistols

HE suggestion made by Mr Wicks, the Kowloon magistrate; that the sale of toy pistols in Hongkong should be prohibited deserves the weighty support of thoughtful public opinion.. Toy pistols have frequently been, used with success to intimidate, and the fact they can be freely purchased makes.. it just that much, easier for our criminals to go about terrorising and victimising. To argue that toy pistols are in themselves harmless is to beggar the more important question: a toy weapon, akilfully camouflaged can, if used in a threatening manner, hava just the same effect upon the mind and nerves ofta person who is held up by it as would the genuine article. It is true that a toy pistol could do'ng bodily, barm to anyone, but the fact that it can be and is used by robbers for the purpose of Intimidating their victims makes its easy availability in a place

like Hongkong undesirable. Nor need the children, for whom the pistols are designed, suffer by their withdrawal from public sale. Stores today are stocked with hundreds of alternative toys, just as pleasurable and much more innocent. The Police are now engaged in an all-out campaign to eliminate armed criminals in Hongkong, but parallel with this task is that of liquidating the moro petty types of criminals, Into this category come men who give all the appearance of being genuine gangsters by making use of toy weapons-weapons harmless enough in themselves, but also capable of being very effective when used to terrorise. There is a sound case for the pro- hibition of toy pistols in this Colony and we should like to see the Authori- ties act on the suggestion made by Mr Wicks.
