CIVILIANS EVACUATED
THAILAND PLANES FIRED AT SHANGHAI, October 4. , (Received October 5, at 9.15 a.m.) The Domei Agency’s Tokio correspondent says the Indo-China anti-air-craft defences fired at Thailand planes reconnoitring the border. Thailand has sent 50 planes to the border, while the French are concentrating war material. Both countries are evacuating civilians from the borders.
A message from Bangkok says the French community there sent a message to Vichy appealing for it to yield to Thailand’s request for territorial re-
adjustments in Indo-China, which wore under consideration long before France was involved in the present difficulties. Messages from Hongkong say Thailand is massing planes and troops on the north-eastern frontier of IndoChina.
