HEALEY ALARMS HK REDS

JONGKONG'S top Reds are alarmed by British Defence Sec- retary, Denis Healey's remarks that our 1967 disturbances were caused by factions acting against the real wishes of China's leaders.

And The STAR's own sources say now they are preparing a report for Peking claiming the Brit- ish are trying to split and discredit them,

The Red "Little Cabinet” met hurriedly at the New China nowsagency yesterday to consider Mr Healey's statement at Kaltak before he flew to Singapore.

In discussion top Reds admitted they first act- ed in the 1967 disturbances without any specific instructions from Peking, according to The STAR's own sources.

Violence

They agreed violence was not restrained until after the ransacking and burning of the Chancel- lory of the British Mission in Peking.

Restraining action followed the arrest of the ringleaders of the attack on the British Mission,

The ringleaders jailed in Peking were Yao Teng-shan, returned Acting Charge d'Affaires from Jakarta, and Miss Yich Yuan-chib, a f1slu- bwa University leader. Yao is understood to be still in custody in Peking.

The STAR's sources claim the "Little Cabinot" yesterday also discussed Deputy Secretary for Home Affairs, Mr Denis Bray's statement this week that Hongkong could not expect to see our colonial form of government changed "as far as

NT keeps up riot guard

any of us could look ahead.”

The Rods thought this meant Britain intended to stay in Hongkong until the New Territories lease expires, and then attempt to renew the lease.
