2 MORE CHINESE
SOLDIERS HELD
Gangtok, March 24
Two more Chinese
soldiers were arrested on
Monday near the Nathu
La by Indian jawana, it
is learnt from sources
olose to military quarters.
Although officials of the
Sikkim Darbar refuse to
comment, it is believed
that the Chinese soldiers
were fully armed when
arrested. They were
brought to Gangtok under
guard.
The capture of the
two Chinese brings the
number of arrests within
10 months to four and
shows that the Chin.su
are determined to prowl
near the border,' either
to escape or to spy. If
it is hunger that has
brought them to Sikkim
it is possible that many
more will oross over from
Tibet.
Aooording to an un-
impeachable source General
Chung Kuo hua has moved
his division from Lhasa
to the Ljkbka valley,
south of the' Hakaya
region. In this basin valley
Chinese troops are under
(he oommand of four
generals'.
