Rio de Janeiro, Mar. 20. Armeil bands of roving squat- fers who have launched attacks against isolated localities have given rise to false reports of re- voll in central Brazil, it was learned here today.

The bands of about 200 each, armed with modern rites and machineguns, are squatters who were recently chased off land in the central State of Goles.

The squatters had moved onto Golas lands after being driven down

the northern state from of Coara in the midst of a drought.

Newspapers sold that four persons were killed in clashes with the bands.

The Government Police at the control barriert announced that would only say that the session bandits attacked was an "internal affair."

Truce Commission

Saigon, Mar. 26.

The chairman of the Vietnam Inter- national Truce Commission, Mr G. K. Parthasarathi, today called on the South Vietnam President, Mr Ngo Dinh Diem, and discussed rumours of agreement for a French withdrawal of her military forces here, according to usually well-informed

sources.

He is said to have told Mr Diem in a 45-minute interview that a serious situation would result if the French high com- mand were to withdraw before a decision is taken about its succession, and about its com- mitments under the Geneva truce which ended the fighting in 1954.
