ALMOST THE ENTIRE CHINATOWN WAS SEALED OFF AND A VIRTUAL CURFEW IMPOSED TODAY TO CRUSH A MASSIVE COMMUNIST-ENGINEERED DISPLAY OF STRENGTH. A DEMONSTRATION BY AT LEAST 7,000 PRO-COMMUNIST YOUTHS, LED BY THE BARISAN SOSIALIS, WAS PLANNED FOR 2.30 PM AT HONG LIM PARK. IT WAS A DISMAL FLOP. POLICE WERE OUT IN FULL FORCE, AND ABOUT 300 DEMONSTRATORS WHO STILL TRIED TO DEFY THE LAW AT SMITH STREET WERE DISPERSED WITH TEAR GAS.
