RANGOON, India, May 27. (P)
Sixty deaths were reported offi
cially tonight in two days or disor
ders attending a dock strike tn the
Uurman capital.
Many more are believed to have
been killed in tho rioting between
Burmese coolies and Hindus, with
whom the police have been battling
unremitting since yesterday morning.
RANGOON, Murma, India, May
-'7. (P) Rioting continued hero
today In the face of the strictest
police regulations. With 40 natives
killed and 140 treated for wounds
in the hospitals the situation was
regarded as critical.
An official report of the casual
ties, not counting those of today,
indicated that 740 had been treated
in hospitals, including 22 for gun
shot wounds. These figures, It was
emphasized, did not include per
sons who had received treatment
at the scene of the riots on the
water front, and did not Include-
today's figures.
Hospitals Filled
All doctors and nurses in Ran
goon today were requisitioned by
the government for special duty at
the hospitals which were filled to
overflowing with victims of Hie
disorders. The inspector general
of civil hospitals, took personal
command of the relief work.
Thenativ.es, nearly of whom It ap
peared were armed, wielded dag
gers with such telling effect that
the number treated for lacerations
far exceeded that of the firing by
police, or those belabored with
staves.
The center of the conflict was
between Burmans and Hindus.
Many of the injured had retreat
ed to hiding places among the
wharves and in boats. Early today
the police instituted a regime of
the strictest nature. Assembly of
more than four persons and carry
lug of weapons were forbidden.
