COMMUNISTS

UP AGAINST IT IN RUMANIA

Washington, Apr. 4.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee re- ported today in a staff survey that "an acute state of tension" exists within the government of Com- munist-dominated Rumania.

But it added, "There is little likelihood of a successful explosion so long as the Russian colossus stands firm."

The study, prepared by the Legislative Re- forence Service of the Library of Congress, said most Rumanian officials and many Communist Party leaders actually were the "bitter enemies" of the Moscow-designated ruling clique in Itumanía.

TWO MEN CHARGED UNDER THE

EMERGENCY REGULATIONS

Sequel To Raid On Aberdeen

Fishing Junk

The trial opened before Mr Justice J. R. Gregg and a Jury of five men and two women at the Criminal Sessions this morning of two unem- ployed men who were charged under that section of the Emergency Regulations which provides for the death penalty upon conviction.

Au Keung, alias Sai-lo Tim, 18, and Wong Wai-hung, alias Fa-lau Hung, 28, were charged respectively with using arms against persons without lawful authority, and aiding and abetting the use of such arms.

The two were alleged to have taken part in a sampan rald on a fishing junk in waters off Aberdeen in the early hours of January 5, when the complainant, the junk master, was wounded by a gunshot fired by one of the marauders.
