He gave the first offi cial hint that Communist ele ments may have been behind the violence that led rioters to sack the U.S. embassy and in jure at least 12 Americans on May 24.

"We must stand on the same side with the United States which is the leader of the Dem ocratic nations." he said. "We cannot permit any opposition to this policy from within or with out."
