4. THE INCIDENTS OF VIOLENCE INVOLVING COMMUNIST SUPPORTERS

ARE NOT BELIEVED TO INDICATE ANY CHANGE IN COMMUNIST POLICY

EUT ARE SPONTANEOUS MILITANT REACTIONS BY INDIVIDUALS REFLECTING,

PERHAPS, SHORT TEMPERS RESULTING FROM THE PRESENT HOT AND HUMID

WEATHER RATHER THAN EXTREME POLITICAL CONVICTIONS. THERE HAS

BEEN A REDUCTION IN THE HARRASSING ACTIVITY AT SHATAUKOK WHICH

IS NOW MAINLY THE WORK OF YOUNG CHILDREN. IT IS EXPECTED THAT

THE MAJOR PRE-OCCUPATION OF LOCAL COMMUNISTS DURING THE NEXT

FEW MONTHS WILL BE PREPARATIONS TO ENSURE THE SUCCESS OF THE

1ST OCTOBER CELEBRATIONS.
