U.S. TROOPS CONFINED TO BARRACKS
ARMOURED CARS PATROLLING BELFAST GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS GUARDED (Rec. 9.45 a.m.) London, Sept. 2. All United States troops in Northern Ireland were confined to barracks during the execution of Williams, and all troops warned to be on their guard. An order was issued in Belfast and Londonderry that all troops must go about in twos and threes and avoid walking alone, particularly after the blackout. Armoured cars are patrolling Belfast. The police are reported to have seized a document which may lead to further discoveries of hidden arsenals. The police last' night found scores of small arms dumps, consisting mostly of rifles and ammunition. They arrested another I.R.A. suspect to-day. The special branch in London reinforced the norma] police guards at Government buildings as a precaution against reprisals. Shops and businesses in Dublin were closed at 11 a.m. to noon and services for Williams were held in a number of churches. Flags from public buildings were flown at half-mast. —P.A.
