Rangoon, Mar. 28.
For the second day run- ning Rangoon students staged anti-government de monstrations today.
A huge crowd of students massed for the funeral of one of liftir comrades who died this morning from a gun shot wound received when the police openca fire on rioting students yesterday.
As they nccompanied tho the burial funeral cortege to ground, the students shouted slogans such as "The govern ment Is the killer of, young students" and "Do not vote for
a murdering government" (Gen crul elections are due at the end of April).
At
every road crossing áfeng the three-mile route,
students were posted on trucks, equipped with loud speakers. Haranguing the demonstrators passersby, claimed that two mere students were killed by the
police yesterday but that their bodies
coul not be found.
They appealed to the public "not to return this government to power."
POLICE HOLD BACK
The police kept in the back- ground as in view of the temper of the students, the authorities were anxicus to avoid another clash like that of yesterday.
One policeman on a motor cycle who cut across the proces- afon narrowly escaped being manhandled
od by the demons- trators. He was saved through the intervention of citizens who were watching the funeral..
