Director To Fly Out From England Shortly

London, Mar. 22.-The Colonial Secretary, Mr James Griffiths, said in Parliament today that Lieutenant-General Sir Harold Bridge, the new Director of Operations, would be flown out to Malaya very soon.

He was replying to a question by Mr Leonard Gammans (Conservative), who had asked whether the military or the police were responsible for the conduct of operations against the bandits in Malaya.
