INDIAN SABOTAGE
Transport Recently Dislocated
NEW DELHI, September 6. Now that the disorders due to the Congress campaign are under control, it is possible to refer to a serious threat from fifth columnists. The rioting and street demonstrations have been merely a nuisance compared with attempts to sabotagecommunications and war production. Mobs led by agitators, obviously acting according to plan, burnt down a number o£ railway stations, tore up railfa, and wrecked trains'. Prompt police action prevented the sabotage from being more extensive. Nevertheless, transport was dislocated for a time over a Urge area. The trouble persists, but the most dangerous agitators are now in jail. A military communique states: “Yesterday bombers of the R.A.F. carried out an attack on Akyab. Bombs were seen to burst on the target. A single bomber went farther down the coast to score direct hits on an important road in tile vicinity of Toungoo.” .
