Peking telegram No. 561.

Casualties in Kowloon Disturbances.

Hong Kong Information Services have issued a public challenge to anyone knowing of any deaths in the disturbances (beside the one boy who was killed by a stone on 13 May) to produce the names of those killed and information about where

the bodies or graves are. One man (Fung Yuen-Heng) claimed by the pro-Communist press to have been killed on 22 May appeared perfectly fit in court yesterday.

2.

The pro-Communist press has so far made no response. We (and no doubt they) know perfectly well that one person only

has been killed.

(Passed as requested and advance copies to

Commonwealth Secretary, Mr. de la Mare and Mr. Wilson)
