Meanwhile public opinion against Communists for murder of popular radio personality Lam Bun is building up.
This morning thirty-year old man paraded outside Bank of China with two banners protesting against the killing and urging people "to learn righteous ways of Lam Bun". This was second demonstration by a member of public against the Communists. Yesterday evening a man stood outside a Chinese products company in Aberdeen with a placard protesting against the attack on Lam Bun and pledging support to the police.
In editorial entitled "Communist brutality" South China Morning Post says the Communist minority stand condemned before the entire community and all law abiding peoples of the world for cold blooded murders of Lam Bun and two young children in North Point.
Editorial says their resort to violence, indiscrimina te bombing and assassination more than justifies universal acceptance of Mr. Kans advocation for the death penalty to be imposed on all those convicted for crimes involving the use of lethal weapons.
Police today offered a fifty (repeat fifty) thousand dollar reward for information about a bomb explosion in Western district last Friday when two (repeat two) men and a twelve-year old boy were injured. One of the men subsequently died in hospital. Ends informs.
