DEPORTATION ORDERED
Australian Communist In Ceylon (Eeceived 10, 1.30 p.m.) COLOMBO, May 9. Mark Bracegirdle was arrested overnight for deportation to Australia. A Habeas Corpus application is expected on Monday. A message on May 5 said that the authorities in Ceylon have ordered Mark Bracegirdle, who is a young Londoner and a tea plantation migrant from Australia, to leave by the liner Mooltan within 24 hours owing to his activities in the local Socialist Party, which is led by an Indian woman. The State Gouncil passed a resolution by 34 votes to seven that the Governor's ex- i pulsion of Bracegirdle violated the Constitution and the express conditions of his appointment. The council requests the Ministers to press for the repeal of the order.
