TO GIVE DEATH PENALTY FOR ANTI-RED ACTIVITIES;
GUERRILLAS ACTIVE IN SOUTH CHINA
Hong Kong, 25 July -- The Peiping Chinese Communist authorities recently
announced that the death penalty will be met?d out to anyone found guilty of
armed insurrection or anyone found guilty of withholding information leading
to the arrest of an insurgent. It is also said that long-term imprisonment or
death penalty will be imposed on anyone found guilty of spy activities, destruc-
tion of government property, obtaining money through false pretense, etc. This
clearly confirms previous reports that troop revolts, labor strikes, spy activi-
ties, etc., have been increasing in the Communist-occupied areas.
