SINGAPORE CALL FOR FULL OFFICIAL INQUIRY INTO JUNGLE GIRL RIOTS

Singapore, Dec. 14.

The Singapore Government has asked the Colonial Office to hold a full official inquiry into this week's riots here over the separation of "Jungle Girl" Bertha Hertogh from her Moslem husband and foster mother, Chee Aminah, usually reliable sources said today.

"Also, there were serious weaknesses in the general con- duct of the police force," the paper added, declaring that a public inquiry should be held.
