THERE WAS NO TROUBLE IN THE AREA OF THE BANK OF CHINA AND STATUE
AQKDRE LAST NIGHT DESPITE INDICATIONS EARLIER IN THE DAY THAT
SOME MILITANTS INCLUDING THE FORMER STAFF OF THE DEREGISTERED
CHUNG WAH SCHOOL INTENDED TO CAUSE A DISTURBANCE, A FEW SMALL
GROUPS OF COMMUNIST SUPPORTERS GATHERED BUT THE PRESENCE OF POLICE
PATROLS IN NORMAL WORKING DRESS AND THE ACTIVE DISCOURAGEMENT OF
MORE SENIOR COMMUNISTS WHO ALSO PATROLLED THB AREA PREVENTED THE
